Chapter 5 The waves crash on the shore and roll up a thousand piles of snow
Huaizuo Mingdu, Zhuxi Jiajia, Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers say goodbye to the old year, peach charm to celebrate the New Year.
"Crazy, let's go into the city for a glass of wine," in the north of Yangzhou, the madman looked up at the two quaint characters on the city gate, knocked the horse's belly, and walked into the city.
About an hour, the master and apprentice walked to the door of a mansion on the shore of Slender West Lake, and the madman ordered Qingxuan to dismount and knock on the door, and sit on the horse and drink by himself.
A strong man in the mansion pushed open the door and said to the mad Taoist: "I don't know which brother on the road came to visit on Chinese New Year's Eve, please announce your name and surname, and help the master in the next place." ”
"The crazy Taoist of Cuiwei Mountain came to visit with his disciples, and asked the little brother to give a message. ”
"Immortal Chief, later," the man slammed the door shut and went into the inner hall to report.
After a while, the footsteps in the door came one after another, the door opened from it, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe came first, followed by dozens of sturdy people, all in brocade hats and mink furs, with sharp blades hanging from their waists, trotting all the way to the crazy road people and horses, and bowed their hands, "Which old man is my Dao, Hong Tianbo and Cao Gang have seen the eldest prince." ”
"Don't mention the word childe, the poor road single number crazy word, this is my crazy way. ”
"I've seen madness....mad....two immortal elders," Hong Tianbo and the Cao Gang heard the Taoist names of the two masters and apprentices, and they were all slandered, what kind of title is this, the master is called the crazy Taoist, and the apprentice is called the crazy Taoist? The younger gangsters wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and their faces were flushed.
"It's cold outside, Childe, go in and have a hot bar," Hong Tianbo stretched out his hand to invite.
The crazy people are not polite, and when they enter first, they see that there is wine and meat on the table.
"Grand Duke, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the brothers are drinking wine, please take a seat," Hong Tianbo let the mad Daoist master and apprentice to the top, turned his head and ordered the helpers, and for a while, the sea and land delicacies were rotated, and the wine returned to the lamp to reopen the banquet.
"Brothers, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Cao Gang welcomed a distinguished guest, this immortal chief is the Grand Duke I often tell you, and also the Engong of our Cao Gang, without the help of the Grand Duke in the past, there would be no Cao Gang today, we will honor the Duke together." ”
"Jing Engong. ”
"Gang Master Hong, you're welcome," the madman got up and drank all the wine in his bowl.
"Grand Duke, when I introduce you to the brothers in the gang, the left hand is the two protectors of my gang, the four elders, and the right hand is the eleven helmsmen of my gang, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, only the Jingshi Mei helmsman and the Runzhou Xu helm master have not yet returned, I think there is a delay, and it is not time to rush back to the general helm handover. ”
"Poor Dao and the apprentice are coming from Beijing, there may be changes in Beijing, your Gang Mei Helm Master must have something to delay, Hong Gang Master, I ask you for something, is there an eyebrow?"
"Drink and drink, eldest son, I respect you," Gang Leader Hong did not speak, only raised his glass frequently, and the crazy Taoist heard this, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but he also drank until the glass was dry, and he no longer spoke.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Hong Tianbo instructed the elders to properly settle Qingxuan, and then let the madman go to the study to drink tea.
After the two of them sat down in the study, Hong Tianbo dismissed the attendants, closed the door, put away the chatter and laughter during the banquet, took out a thing from the dark compartment, and handed it to the madman with both hands. Three months ago, the news came from the Runzhou rudder, after I received the report, I instructed the brothers to search the rivers and lakes, but failed to find the traces of the son, so it was not reported in time, the brothers of the Runzhou rudder followed up for two months, but lost contact in the middle of the month, Lao Hong was worried that there were many people at the banquet, if it was clear that the Xu rudder lost contact, it was afraid of causing panic, so he returned to the son at this moment. ”
"The affection of the Hong gang leader, the poor road is remembered in my heart, in the past ten years, the poor road is outside the gate, and the Hong gang leader is looking for me. "The madman took over the things in his hand, which was a letter made of four thin wooden boards, and the Cao Gang mostly mixed the rivers, in order to prevent the letter from being damp and drenched, they all used wooden boards, and used sharp weapons to engrave words and transmit messages.
Unfold four wooden boards, the first one is a painting, from the clothes, an old man in the painting with a woman, several servants, by boat from Yangzhou to the south, the other three wooden boards are carved respectively "through Runzhou, Jinshan Temple, Beigu Mountain, the back figure is very similar; through Yangzhou, to the Daming Temple, and the old man disputes, martial arts are not low; through Changzhou, to Tianning Temple, hidden to see the true face, the big boat to the south, the end point is unknown. ”
The crazy Taoist stared at the woman in the painting with his eyes, although he only carved a few lines, but judging from the back figure, he looked very much like a person who thought about it in the twilight, as for what Hong Tianbo said, he didn't hear a word, his hands trembled and handed back the wood chips, took Hong Tianbo's hand, and shouted in an almost crazy tone: "Lao Hong, what about people, what about later people?"
"The eldest prince, after Changzhou, the ship should go all the way south, Runzhou rudder sent a clipper, trailing all the way, Xu Rudder master kung fu, knowing that the matter is big, personally pressing the formation, how can there be no news back for dozens of days, the rudder gang is very worried, this is also the reason why it is inconvenient to say it during the banquet, so as not to help the people in the panic. ”
"The eldest prince, there is also news, the martial arts league leader Gu Mengbai posted a hero post a year ago, inviting the world's heroes to gather in Mount Meru on the second day of the second month of the new year to discuss the new martial arts league master candidate, it is reported that this time not only the Central Plains sects, even the immortal Shaolin, Wudang, and even Xiao Wuchen of the outer star platform are in the list of invitees, Lao Hong is discussing this matter with the brothers in the gang today, and is ready to set off to Mount Meru on the fifth day of the first month. ”
"Gang Master Hong, thank you for your help over the years, please accept the poor Dao," the madman shook to the ground.
"The eldest son, I can't do it, not to mention that the eldest prince has the grace of rebuilding his life in this gang, in the past, the eldest prince fought the eighteen water bandits along the Qingcao River with a sword, and he lived countless lives, Lao Hong only did what he could, and he deserved such a big gift from the son," Hong Tianbo hurriedly replied.
"Hong Gang Master, Poor Dao immediately set off, to Jinshan Temple, Daming Temple, Tianning Temple, please help your gang in Changzhou City Daguanlou wait for a few days, the mad little apprentice will trouble your gang to take care of a few days, poor Dao after verification, then go to Changzhou to meet with your gang, go south together. ”
"Childe rest assured to go, the boat in my painting is also going south, I am afraid that it is related to this martial arts conference, and please go back quickly, maybe there will be a harvest on the way to the way, I am waiting in Changzhou Daguanlou. ”
On the fifth day of the first month, outside the Yangzhou garrison mansion, several horses were stationed.
"Please pass it on, please ask Yangzhou garrison Hong Jianping to take over," Nie Jingtao waved his hand and threw a token made of pure gold to the garrison guards.
"Please wait, sir," the guards didn't dare to slack off when they saw the person coming, so they took the token and hurriedly entered to report.
After a while, a person hurriedly trotted out from the house, brocade robe and official boots, after going out, he was dressed and crowned, his eyebrows were lowered, and he knelt in front of the horse, "Weichen Yangzhou City garrison Hong Jianping has seen Shangguan." ”
"General Hong is exempt from courtesy, let's go inside to talk," Nie Jingtao raised his hand, took the token and put it into his arms.
In the garrison mansion, Nie Jingtao introduced the new emperor, and Hong Jianping was busy making a big ceremony to see Li Shouyi, so he let him sit down and ordered the maid to serve tea.
Hong Jianping is the garrison general who was awarded to Yangzhou for his military exploits in the Zhizheng period, and he is considered to be a descendant of the Beijing army, and he is also Nie Jingtao's old subordinate in the past, so he saw Shangzhuguo come back from the dead in the past, wept and wept, and saw Nie Jingtao with military salutes, and swore to defend orthodoxy, but Li Shouyi's order was obeyed.
"General Hong, the saint's trip, will be based on Yangzhou, to appease the south, the saint intends to leave General Chu Tiannan and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion to assist in defending the city, General Chu and you are the first emperor to follow, I hope you two live up to the grace of the saint, work together to guard Yangzhou, Yangzhou affairs are still under your command, General Chu is your deputy, wait for the world to decide, you are both the first meritorious ministers, Shengshang, what do you think?" Nie Jingtao did not forget to salute and ask Li Shouyi.
"The arrangement of Shangzhu Country is very good, from the ministers of the dragon, I will never be disappointed," Li Shou helped each other together, dusting off his clothes with his own hands, Hong Jianping was flattered.
"General Hong, I heard that Brother Ling is in charge of the Jiangnan Cao Gang, and please summon the message on his behalf, from today onwards, hold the Cao River, and the things in the south of the Yangtze River are not allowed to go north, especially the money and grain, the rudder gangs in Jiangbei will hide and hide from now on, and the Cao Gang will be 100,000 people, familiar with water, maybe the day of the Northern Expedition, will be an indispensable surprise soldier. ”
"Yes. ”
"Rest assured, although the younger brother is a person in the rivers and lakes, he also knows right from wrong, and the minister immediately sent someone to deliver the will," Hong Jianping replied respectfully.
"That's very good, General Hong, please introduce me on my behalf recently, and I must talk to Brother Ling in detail. ”
"Back to the saint, unfortunately, before noon, a family member came to report that the younger brother had set off for Mount Meru in the south, saying that he was invited by the Gu Alliance Master to participate in the martial arts conference, and it would take several months to return. ”
"Shengshang, it is reported that the ancestor of the Gu family is suspected to be a remnant of the Chu State, although he has already moved to the Wei realm, but now as the leader of the martial arts alliance, you might as well pay attention to it, judging from this rebellion, the stargazing platform should have already colluded with Li Cunyi, and it has repeatedly intercepted the saint, I am afraid that this conference is not simple, the old slave wants to go to Mount Meru to see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd," Nie Jingtao said.
"I walk with you. ”
"No," Nie and Hong said in unison.
"Shengshang, you are a body of gold, not suitable for danger, and there are many affairs in the south, please move the Shengshang to drive Yingdu, appease the hearts of the army, Su and Wang two generals just joined forces together, still need to run in, and Dongyue Wangcheng is not long in peace, it is necessary for the Holy to give rain and dew, grace the Yue people, so that the Yue people admire the grace of heaven, swear to die with each other, Yangzhou has its own Chu, Hong two generals guarded, the Holy should take the community as the priority, issued a will, and gradually recruit Furun, Chang, Su, Hangzhou, Chu, Dao Liuzhou, and then Jinling, take the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, expand the military equipment, and the old slave will go back when he goes, please be relieved by the saint. ”
"From now on, Nie Qing will restore the title of Shangzhu State, add the title of the Guogong, and the eight departments of the secret guard will be incorporated into the Imperial Forest Guard, Nie Qing, Shou Yi is not talented, and he is in his position, and there are many strange people in the martial arts, and there are many gangs and people, Wang Qing can take advantage of this martial arts conference to recruit talents, find a general who can fight for the new dynasty, go to Jingzhou immediately after Shouyi, reorganize the armament, and Wangqing will return when the ice and snow melt, in case the northern army goes south," Li Shouyi held Nie Jingtao's arms, shook it heavily, and nodded.
"Obey the order, the old slave will leave immediately, and he will return before the end of March," Nie Jingtao only brought ten secret guards, and the rest of the people followed Shouyi, and after saying goodbye to the two generals Hong and Chu, they hurried away.
Jiangnan is rich, so most of the state garrisons are Emperor Mingyue who followed his old ministers in the past, so they are willing to surrender when they see private seals, not to mention that Shouyi was originally the prince, sitting in the East Palace, inheriting the unification sooner or later, and there is no reason to kill the monarch and rebel, so as soon as Li Shouyi's will arrives, most of them will follow him.
Crazy people gallop wildly, first go to Yangzhou Daming Temple, and then go all the way south to Runzhou Jinshan Temple, Changzhou Tianning Temple, every place, then take out the album to ask the monks in the temple, the host repeatedly confirmed, this day from the Tianning Temple, lost the soul, and also do not care to see the scenery in the city of Changzhou of "the famous capital of Bayi, Zhongwu to assist", along the Cao River waterway, suddenly heard the sound of the people, look up, originally walked to the Grand View Building, this Grand View Building is also called "the first floor of the Three Wu", this building is built near the water, a stone tablet in front of the door, on the book" Dengsi Lou also, southeast and northwest can be seen hundreds of miles away, the city is hidden in sight, smoke clouds and trees, sail and car riding ..... in the meantime....... Cheng Yang is a big view. ”
"May I ask the shopkeeper, is there an official surnamed Hong who is resting here?" the crazy Taoist walked into the Daguan Building and asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked at the mad Taoist carefully, "May I ask if you are the immortal chief mentioned by the Hong Gang Master?"
"It's the poor road. ”
"This is a letter left by the leader of the Cao Gang, and it is clear that it was opened by you. ”
When the crazy Dao Chang Zhanxin took a look, he saw that the handwriting was scribbled, and he could see that he had written it in a hurry.
"The eldest son, Lao Hong has a negative trust, the crime deserves death, accidentally separated from the noble disciple on the night of the sixth day of the first month, and is leading the gang to find it with all his might, please see the letter and go to Tianmu Mountain a hundred miles south of the city, and our gang has someone to answer, Hong Tianbo. ”
"This kid, it's really not worry-free," the madman shook his head and turned back to his horse.
"Run, run, hide in the mountains, those bad guys will not be able to catch up with us," a little Taoist priest pulled a little slave in Tsing Yi to abandon his horse and run up the mountain.
"It's a pity that this good horse, if we sell it to the market, it may be worth a lot of silver!" the little slave in Tsing Yi pouted, but he didn't care to look at the stolen horse, and ran to the wooded and grassy mountain with the little Taoist priest.
"I said, little Taoist, you let go of my hand, I will run by myself," the little slave in Tsing Yi shook off the little Taoist's hand, "You stink to death." ”
"What? You guy really don't know what to do, I saved your life, and you still think I stink? I see that you are covered in stinky sweat, and your face is much dirtier than me, and my clothes are just purchased by the master," the little Taoist priest was of course Li Qingxuan, and he snorted dissatisfiedly when he turned around.
It turned out that on the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Hong Tianbo and others stayed in the hotel in Daguanlou, and the group had dinner and chartered all the guest rooms on the first floor of the top floor. Hong Tianbo and several helmsmen were in the room, looking out of the window, drinking a few glasses, and talking about some anecdotes in the martial arts. Qingxuan was bored in the room, so he went downstairs to see the scenery along the Cao River, and by the way, he took a look at the "night view of the East Pavilion and the West Building" that the store said, the East Pavilion is the Yangsu Pavilion on the side of the Cao River, and the West Building is this big view building.
Qing Xuan walked alone to the Yangsu Pavilion, looking at the sound of oars and lights on the Cao River, it was very lively, from time to time there were bursts of beautiful silk string singing, seeing the glorious lights of the attic, the flower boats, the boats passing through the plum shadows of the old dreams, all of which were the scenery that had never been seen outside the gate, and I was stunned for a while. The Cao Gang and his party could see Qingxuan from the window on the Daguan Tower, and they only told him not to go far, so they went to play with him.
Qing Xuan was leaning on the white marble railing by the water in front of the pavilion, listening to the lyrics of "The old moonlight, count a few times to shine on me, the jade flute on the plum side, evoke the jade man" from a flower boat, and he was distracted.
Suddenly, his feet were dragged by a pair of hands stretched out from the river, and he was frightened by an "ah" scream, thinking that he was pulled by a water ghost, and then there was a bang, a little slave in Tsing Yi drilled out of the water, knocking Qingxuan down, and a fast boat flew in the middle of the river, and several people on board shouted: "The thief is gone," and then a few flying knives sparked a few sparks on the white marble railing.
"Xiaodao Chief, the thief on the boat wants to rob money and kill his life, pull me up," the little slave in Tsing Yi was busy trying to get up, Xu was soaked in the icy river water for a long time, struggled several times and couldn't get up, and his hands and feet were frozen stiff.
Qing Xuan came back to his senses and saw that the little slave had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he didn't look like a bad guy, so he hurriedly pulled him up and ran in the direction of Daguanlou.
"Wrong, wrong, let's run out of the city, the city is full of their people," the little slave struggled to get up, and couldn't help but say, untied the reins of a horse by the pavilion, and wanted to get on the horse, but the man was too big to get up.
Qingxuan grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and the Ele people were particularly good at equestrianism, so he jumped on the horse in a dashing manner, picked up the little slave and ran out of the city.
The Cao Gang on the upper floor of Daguan heard the noise outside, and when they looked at the window, they saw Qingxuan galloping away to the south of the city on horseback, and couldn't help but change their faces.
Changzhou city south of a hundred miles is Tianmu Mountain, the big lake under the mountain is called Tianmu Lake, Tianmu Mountain stretches for a hundred miles, two teenagers desperately run to the mountain, the horse galloped for half the night, and ran in the mountain for a long time, Qingxuan and Qingyi slave really can't run, can only lean on the moment under the big pine tree for a while, big mouth with a big mouth.
"I said, why do those people want to chase you? I see that you are just an ordinary family, there should be nothing valuable on you?" Qing Xuan turned his head to look at the little slave in Tsing Yi, this look didn't matter, I saw that the little slave's cheeks were red, his hair was scattered, revealing his sideburns like a cloud, and he was still a little girl.
"You....... you're a woman?"
"Why, can't I be a woman? I'm not ashamed, I'm holding hands all the way, you men don't have a good thing," the little slave snorted.
"I'm here to save you, I'm in a hurry, I really don't know what to do," Qing Xuan snorted, turned his head and thought, "Oh no, I haven't had time to tell Uncle Hong yet." ”
"Little thief, where to run," the three Xuanyi people jumped down from the crown of the big tree, and then several short knives broke through the wind, the little slave was shocked when he saw this, Qing Xuanzheng took out his portable combat knife, and swung it hard, several flying knives were blocked and ejected to the trunk of the tree next to him.
"Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you, my Tang Sect doesn't hurt innocent people, I just want to take this thief in Tsing Yi today," one of the young men in Xuanyi said.
"Hey, you're not a few years older than me, why do you call me," Qing Xuan was still puzzled, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard the young man in Xuanyi say nothing.
"Then you will see the real chapter under your hands, look at the move," the young man in Xuanyi put his hands together in his sleeves, and suddenly a dark shadow shrouded the two of them.
The little slave in Tsing Yi also took out a short knife from his sleeve, moved and flipped it, but also stretched out his hand quite quickly, Qing Xuan's war knife dance did not leak, jumped to a tree, kicked his left foot, and the long knife was cut and sharpened, and he actually crossed the hidden weapon and attacked the man in Xuanyi.
"Carving insect skills," the young man in Xuanyi pulled out a short sword from his boot with his right hand, raised his left hand, and shot out three cow hair needles, and the short sword followed closely behind, blocking all the retreats of the little Taoist priest in front of him.
Qing Xuan has also been in battle for a long time, and the opponent's martial arts are far superior to his own, so he gritted his teeth, pulled his right hand, turned a knife shadow, and stiffened three fine needles, and the long knife was straight, which was the way to fight at the expense of his life.
"Hey," the young man in Xuanyi turned to one side, the original short sword was sent forward, which could seriously damage the little Taoist, seeing that this little Taoist priest was so desperate to play, it hurt him, and he couldn't help but hang the color, and suddenly the short sword was retracted a square, and he took a step back, "You little Taoist, who is it, this is the tactics of the border army when they are trapped, and the knife in your hand is not the Central Plains system." ”
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it, look at the move," Qing Xuan jumped up, holding the knife in both hands, the blade was on top, and he attacked it sideways with a knife, this move had once killed a thousand commanders, and it was also the most proficient move that Qing Xuan practiced.
"Good boy," Xuanyi praised, a backflip, his feet did not stop, flew up the pine tree behind him, and then jumped up in the air like a windmill, his hands did not stop, and then he took out an iron-toothed disc from his waist, and with a flick of his left hand, the iron-toothed disc shot down like a spinning top, and his right hand still stabbed down with his sword, and went straight to the right shoulder of the little Taoist.
Qing Xuan raised the knife with both hands and knocked it, the disc changed direction, after turning an arc, he shot towards Qing Xuan's vest, the knife in his hand could only fight with the sword force for two moves, seeing the iron tooth disc piercing the back of the heart, at this time, suddenly a gust of wind rolled from the woods, blowing leaves, dust, and when everyone opened their eyes, a yellow-faced man pinched the center of the disc with two fingers, and the iron-toothed disc hummed and rotated.
"Uncle Wu," Qing Xuan jumped up excitedly when he saw someone coming, it turned out that the yellow-faced man was Wu Donglin, the left protector of the Cao Gang.
Wu Donglin nodded at Qingxuan, turned his head to the young man in Xuanyi and said, "The Tang Sect's Exit Wheel is really good, and you are a young man who is so powerful." ”
"Who are you, return my weapon quickly," the young man in Xuanyi shouted angrily.
At this time, one of the three Xuanyi people stepped forward and arched his hand: "The breeze is coming, the phantom sea has no waves, it turns out that the Phantom Wave Finger Wu Protector of the Cao Gang is coming, and the old man has been looking up for a long time." ”
"Who are you?" Wu Donglin replied.
"In the Tang Gate Tang Zhan, these two are the young master Tang Jingyu and Miss Tang Jinghong in our door, we are only here to chase and intercept the thief, but there is no grudge against this little Taoist, a misunderstanding. ”
"Oh? It turned out to be the Tang Sect's great butler Tang Zhan Tang's old senior, who has admired his name for a long time, this crazy Taoist chief is a noble guest in my gang, if you have offended, I hope you will forgive me," Wu Donglin returned the Xiu wheel to the old man with both hands.
"Where, it's just that this young lady in Tsing Yi stole my Tangmen secret treasure, as long as the treasure is returned, Tangmen will not be embarrassed in the face of the heroes of the Cao Gang," Tang Zhan arched his hand, "I hope that Wu Daxia will not be partial." ”
"Crazy Dao Chief?" Tang Jinghong was young after all, and he burst out laughing when he heard the words.
Tang Zhan turned his head and glared, and the girl looked away shyly, but she still couldn't help but chuckle.
"The thing is returned to the original owner, it is right, the little Taoist, you come here, help the master and they will be there in a while. This young lady, please return the things of the Tang Sect, and then leave, the big butler of the Tang Sect is full of promises, and promises," Wu Donglin said to the little slave in Tsing Yi.
"Are you rare to me, aren't you just a wrecking ball," the little slave in Tsing Yi took out a wrecking ball from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, and turned his head to leave.
"Be careful," Tang Jingyu was shocked and shouted loudly, and the second monk Li Qing Xuanzhang was confused, and looked at the Tang Sect people with a blank face.
Suddenly, a person in the distance jumped up from the galloping horse, jumped a few times, flew sideways to the ground, formed a claw with his right palm, and drank "Ah", and there seemed to be a strong suction force in the palm, inhaling the blue ball that was about to land into the palm, kicking the ground with his right foot, turning over in the air, and landing steadily.
"I've seen the helper," Wu Donglin bowed.
"Uncle Hong, I'm sorry, it's me who is playful, and I have to worry about the elders running around for me," Qing Xuan looked proud.
"Tang Zhan of the Tang Sect has seen the Hong Gang Leader," "The juniors have seen the Hong Gang Leader," the Tang Sect led by Tang Zhan stepped forward to salute.
"Everyone is polite, Lao Hong has seen the big housekeeper, the two young masters are as young as they are cultivators, and the Tang Sect is full of real talents, and the green is better than the blue," he said, and handed over the things in his hands to Tang Zhan.
"The Hong Gang Master is polite, Bi Tao is worthy of his name, let me wait for an eye-opener," Tang Zhan carefully handed it over to the young master after taking it, and then handed it over.
"Shameless, a bunch of big men bragging to each other," the little slave in Tsing Yi Nunu mouthed, with a look of disdain.
"This young lady, if Lao Hong hadn't arrived in time, you would have already fallen on the spot, the Tang Men Bi sarong crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, it was actually the first secret weapon in the world, and it was extremely poisonous, Lao Hong thought to himself that he was not very sure to deal with it, like you to knock at will, if you accidentally trigger the mechanism, the consequences can be imagined. ”
"Hmph, who knows if it's true or not," the little slave in Tsing Yi said unforgivingly, but he was very nervous in his heart.
"This young lady, go quickly, this ball is so dangerous, don't provoke it," Qing Xuan turned his head to the little slave in Tsing Yi and said, "This is a gem, you can exchange it for some food, buy a bad horse, and go home," Qing Xuan had nothing to lose, so he took a dagger and cut off a ruby from the scabbard of the war knife given by his father, and gave it to the little slave, this knife was given by Emperor Li Mingyue of Wei, and it was extremely gorgeous.
"What's your name?" Seeing that this little Taoist priest was so kind and sincere, the little slave in Tsing Yi not only tried his best to help, but also took off the gem from the sheath of his personal knife and gave it away, and the sneering words came to his mouth, but he couldn't say it.
"My name is Qing Xuan, but the master called me a madman, you can go quickly," in the end, Qing Xuan glanced at the little girl in front of him, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
"You are good to me, I remember, I, Han Qingluo, will eventually return your favor," said without looking back, and went down the mountain.
The Cao Gang and the Tang Sect didn't think it was funny, this little girl was only about ten years old, but her tone was so old, she looked like an old Jianghu, Hong Tianbo shook his head and stretched out his big hand, "Let's go, Xiaodao Chief, your master should spank you." ”
"Wait," Tang Zhan stepped forward to stop Qing Xuan.
The Cao Gang didn't know why, and they didn't know why the old man in front of him stopped the little Taoist.
Tang Zhan stepped forward to untie Qing Xuan's clothes, and quickly counted the dots on his chest, as Qing Xuan screamed in pain, he raised his hand, and there were three more cow hair needles in his hand, Tang Zhan nodded to everyone, and the Cao Gang suddenly realized that they were pulling out needles for the little road chief.
Cao Gang said goodbye and was about to leave, Tang Zhan pointed to the golden dart hanging on Qing Xuan's chest and asked, "I don't know where this thing came from?" It turned out that Qing Xuan's chest was hung with a golden dart given by his father, and the word "proud" was engraved on it.
"Grandpa, this is a gift from my father, is there anything wrong?"
"This is the token of the head of my sect, dare to ask the name of Changgao's surname?" Tang Zhan couldn't help but bend down, carefully looked at the golden dart, and confirmed it.
"My surname is Li, a member of the Eile tribe," Qing Xuan did not doubt him, and said bluntly.
"Dare to ask the chief, can you know the Marquis of Hulu in the Northern Lonely City?"
"It's my father. ”
"It turned out to be the prince, Tang Zhan has seen the prince," Tang Zhan said softly, stepped forward and saluted, and his doubts were all gone, "The prince, the Hou Ye and the head of our faction are old friends, and the gate of Qingcheng Mountain will always be open for you." ”
The two sides smiled goodbye and went down the mountain together, and on the way, Jinghong and Jingyu were surprised to learn the identity of the little Taoist.
"Qingluo, Qingluo, hehe," Qingxuan said silently as he walked, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The group went down the mountain together, and as soon as they walked to the mountainside, they saw two horses galloping over, but it was the right protector Wei Wenchang who came up the mountain with a mad man.
Everyone saluted each other, Tang Zhan stepped forward and waved at the crazy Taoist, "Old Tang has seen the immortal chief, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and the immortal chief's demeanor is still the same," Tang Zhan used to fight with the mad Taoist at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain with Tang Ao, and the crazy Taoist broke the Tang Gate's stunt Bi Sarong with a sword, which was a profound image.
"It turned out to be the old man of the Tang Sect," the mad Taoist dismounted and saluted, "Please ask the big butler to thank the master of the Tang Ao Sect on behalf of the poor Dao, and he has helped him for many years, and the poor Dao is ashamed." ”
"The Immortal Elder is polite, he doesn't dare to say thank you, I don't know where the Immortal Elder wants to go?" Tang Zhan asked.
"Poor Dao wants to go to Mount Meru with the Cao Gang. ”
"So very good, I and the two young masters have recovered the lost property, and we are also going to Mount Meru to meet the door master, if we can go with you, how fortunate it is. ”
Everyone laughed, went down the mountain and went south together, to the edge of Tianmu Lake, the boats of the Cao Gang had been waiting for a long time, the Cao Gang was the east, and the banquet was held.
The madman drank a few bowls of spirits, quietly walked to the bow of the boat, turned out the wood chips in his arms, and thought of what several abbots said, the woman on the wood chips was almost confirmed to be Lu Qi, more than 20 years of missing, more than 20 years of running, as if it was not worth mentioning, his hands clutched the railing tightly, and tears flowed.
"Master, are you okay?" Qing Xuan walked behind Lao Dao, and when he saw the immortal-like master, he secretly wept and asked in a low voice.
"Crazy, when the teacher finds the old man, he will teach a body of martial arts, and the broken Taoist temple on Cuiwei Mountain will also be left to you, and for the rest of his life, the teacher is only willing to be the light boat that is not tied, and the beloved person is floating around the five lakes, uninhibited and free. ”
"Master, you will definitely get what you want. ”
"Crazy child, Ling Zun and I have been friends for many years, loyal and chivalrous, you are a soldier of the whole clan, guarding the northern frontier for ten years, and the blood of the north is lonely, which makes me admire, Ling Zun parted and handed you over to me, all the way to eat and sleep, and I was very uneasy for the teacher. ”
"Master, it is a great grace for you to take in the boy, but ..... I miss my father, brother and sister, relatives and friends in the clan. ”
"Crazy child, now the situation is unclear, the future is uncertain, promise to be a teacher, no matter what happens in the future, what happens in the family, don't torture yourself, just be a free and ruthless madman," the madman sighed, touched Qing Xuan's head, and went back to his room.
"Father, eldest brother, sister, are you okay?" Qing Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, tears streaming down his eyes.
A small hand reached over and handed a silk handkerchief.
Qing Xuan turned his head to see that it was the two brothers and sisters of Jingyu, who were busy wiping their tears with their sleeves, but did not take the silk handkerchief.
"Little Taoist, it turns out that our family is an old friend, you and I are of the same grade, you and I can often come to Qingcheng Mountain to play with us in the future," Tang Jinghong put away the silk handkerchief and said with a smile, and Jingyu also smiled and nodded beside him.
"Thank you, both of you, when I left home, my father told me about the past, and I forgot about it in a hurry, and if I have time in the future, I will definitely go to you," Qing Xuan blushed and wiped away his tears.
Young people intersect, always happy and sad, a few days to get along, they become familiar, and they are commensurate with the eldest brother and little sister.
On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head.
Mount Meru, shaped like five fingers, the index finger is a huge viewing platform, called "Cloud Lake Wonderland", is the place where the martial arts conference is held, the middle finger is the highest peak, called "Golden Wing Peak".
The Gu family, a martial arts family, has already set up hundreds of pergolas and tents at the foot of the mountain for the various sects to rest and stay, and the various sects have come one after another. Shaolin Damo Academy's first unphased interpretation teacher, Wudang head Chunyang Zhenren, Kunlun Jade Pingzi, Golden Daomen Yan Beigui, Huajian faction Wen Linshui, Tang Men Tang Ao, Cao Bang Hong Tianbo, Tibetan Sword Villa owner Liu Cangwu, the second son Liu Chonglou and more than 100 sects on the rivers and lakes all arrived, the leaders of the younger generation of each sect and each faction attended the meeting with the master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only through the competition to become famous, but also to learn from the martial arts of other schools, is a rare opportunity to improve.
The stargazing platform is temporarily headed by Xu Mengyang, the master of the Dimensity Star, and lives alone in the middle of the mountain.
The crazy Taoist took Qingxuan and the Cao Gang to rest in one place, early in the second morning of the second month of February, everyone used it early, and they were ready to set off to go up the mountain and go to the Yunhu Wonderland to participate in the meeting, the Cao Gang people just came out of the pergola, and there was a little beggar pulling the robe of the crazy Taoist, "Dao Chief, this is a letter from someone else, saying that you will give me two steamed buns to eat when you see the letter." ”
Qing Xuan didn't wait for the master to talk, so he took out two steamed buns from the blanket and handed them to the little beggar.
The madman opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that the letter read: "The old man brought Lu Qi, flew to the south to visit the bell, and the concubine was tearful and bamboo, and admired the seventy peaks." ”
The letter was not signed, and the madman frowned and recited silently several times, then turned his head and said to Qing Xuan: "Crazy, you need to go south immediately for the teacher, the time is in a hurry, it is inconvenient to take you with you, you are waiting for the teacher in the Cao Gang." After speaking, he walked two steps quickly, explained the reason to Hong Tianbo, and was not polite, but flew on the horse, but brought one more horse, one person and two horses, and went to the eight hundred miles of Dongting with all his might.
The Feilai Bell and the Tomb of the Second Concubine mentioned in the letter are all on Jun Mountain in Dongting Lake, the seventy-two peaks of Jun Mountain, but I don't know where Lu Qi is, there are clues, no matter what, I must go to it.
On the viewing platform of Yunhu Wonderland, pergolas were set up around the perimeter as early as possible, and each faction was seated in turn according to the ranking.
"Dear colleagues in the rivers and lakes, I have been loved by you, Gu Mou has lived in the martial arts league for many years, and he has not built a large number of achievements, so he posted a hero post a year ago, and sincerely invited all factions to discuss the selection of the new leader of the alliance, hoe the strong and help the weak, and maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes," Gu Mengbai bowed his hand at the top and made a circle.
All the heads of the house stood up and returned the salute.
"Since you are in the martial arts, you can see the true chapter as your subordinates," the disciples of various factions said one after another.
"The leader of the alliance, in addition to outstanding martial arts, should also have both ability and political integrity, in order to be able to lead the group," Gu Mengbai responded with a smile, "In this competition, each faction selects a young disciple to play, draws lots to play, and several rounds of elimination, and finally wins the ten major sects, whose head is the leader of the alliance, and the factions jointly agree to determine the new head candidate, what do you think?"
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, this year's competition is novel, only by the young generation of talents from each faction to compete, not only to take care of the face of the head of the defeated sect, but also to test the younger generation of martial arts cultivation, Zhuxiang kung fu, it was agreed and unanimously passed.
The first round was the daughter of the head of Kunlun against Ge Fei, the young master of the Haisha Gang, Zhang Yanran, the only daughter of Yupingzi, was sixteen years old, with a graceful posture and white clothes like snow, which suddenly made the eyes of young talents of all factions shine, only to see her jade hand draw out a long sword and pinch a sword trick, "Brother Ge, please." ”
Zhang Yanran turned around, the sword walked ethereal, with a move "Snow Full Kunlun" style, with the spirit to control the bluntness, against Ge Fei's double halberd, the double halberd is sinking, Ge Fei responded with the "iron halberd sinking sand", and the two sides made a move.
Zhang Yanran is small and weak, and does not dare to connect the sword hard, so he spits out the sword and stabs, the sword flower always envelops the opponent's right arm Quchi, Shaohai Cave, and then uses the peak Lingyun, the wind and the snow, the moon on the East Mountain, a pool of spring water and other moves, Ge Fei's left halberd keeps blocking, the right halberd seeks an opportunity to suppress the sword momentum, and wants to win with strength, everyone sees the Kunlun little girl tossing up and down, moving left and right, the long sword sneering, the move is extremely fast, the young master of the sea sand moves vigorously, steady and steady, and can't help but drink good.
Gu Mengbai turned his head and said to the left head Wuxiang Interpreter: "Master, there are talented people in the country, although this junior is immersed in martial arts, he still has such a cultivation, our old man should retire to the forest and spring and cultivate the southern wilderness." ”
"What the alliance leader said is very true, after this battle, the juniors have learned a lot, and they will definitely go to the next level in the future, and the alliance leader's method of selection this time is very wonderful. ”
As soon as the words fell, the little girl of Kunlun danced in the air, turned Peng into a kun with one move, leaned down and fell, a sword and seven shadows, and Ge Fei Shaohai Cave, the right halberd fell to the ground, Zhang Yanran closed her hand: "Agreed." ”
Ge Fei smiled slightly, arched his hand, and picked up the iron halberd, but he was also quite graceful. The crowd suddenly burst into thunderous cheers, and Yu Pingzi smiled even more, and bowed his hand to the head of the left and right to congratulate him in return.
Qing Xuan stood next to the Cao Gang, even more dumbfounded, when he was young, he was used to kill the enemy in the military formation, he never thought that there would be such elegant and handsome moves in the world, especially Zhang Yanran's beautiful and immortal body, which made him dizzy, the girl was only two or three years older than herself, she was so powerful, she couldn't help but be stunned, as for the following competition, she didn't take it seriously.
Shaolin's monk Yin, Wudang rookie Zhao Zhenyu, Huajian faction Wen Wanzhao, Jindaomen young master Yan Falcon, Tang Gate Tang Jingyu, Gu Mengbai's only son Gu Chuyi, Tibetan Sword Villa Liu Chonglou, stargazing platform Xu Mengyang, Diancang faction Hao Xiong are all no suspense, a few moves to win the enemy, the rest of the small sects between the competition, but a few moves will be eliminated, but it is also lackluster, plus Kunlun Zhang Yanran, before sunset, has been selected to win the top ten sects.
Gu Jiaxiong lives in Tiannan, with strong financial resources, Gu Mengbai set up a banquet at the foot of Mount Meru, and invited all the famous chefs around him, with the sky as the cover, opening 100 tables, and setting up a wide range of delicacies, which is supremely wonderful. Everyone sat down the mountain according to the guidance, Gu Mengbai sat in the middle, raised the bowl and got up, "Fellow Jianghu Daoists, the competition of Yunhu Wonderland has selected the ten major sects of the new theory, tomorrow, I will invite the heads of the ten factions to gather at the peak of the Golden Wing Peak to discuss the selection of the leader of the alliance, all the fellow Jianghu will drink happily tonight, the Gu family will open a flowing water seat at the foot of the mountain, please take a break tomorrow, wait for us to select the new alliance leader, inform you, and then please return." At that time, my Gu family will give each faction a hundred taels of gold, and the right to do the road fare, everyone, please," said a bowl of wine.
"Thank you, Leader of the Alliance," all the factions said in unison.
Gu Mengbai gave away a lot of gold, wine and food hospitality, Corporal Lixian, all factions were impressed by their style, especially the small sect, one hundred taels of gold is a lot of money, plus such a martial arts event, it is a good opportunity to make friends with the giants of the rivers and lakes, and make friends with the same way, who doesn't want to stay for a few more days, and take care of the family management of wine and rice, all factions are beaming, like the New Year's Festival, and have already left the trouble of losing the competition behind.
In the early morning of the next day, the top of the Golden Wing Peak, the spring cold is steep, the first sun is new, the head of the ten factions is standing in the east, Liu Cangwu, the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and Xiao Wuchen, the owner of the stargazing platform, also arrived, everyone came to see the eyes, watching the early sun emerge from the sea of clouds, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and the warm beam of light came from the sky, like thousands of golden swords shooting directly at the peak, which made people's hearts sink.
"Ladies and gentlemen, more than 20 years ago, Wei Chu Sumeru Mountain battled, forced out a genius Emperor Mingyue, such as today's long-term determination, today, Gu Mou convened the heads of all factions to gather at the Golden Wing Peak, is to elect the next martial arts alliance leader, Gu Mouxi has been in the position of the leader of the alliance for a long time, and he feels that his martial arts and virtues are embarrassing. ”
"Haha, Gu Mengzhu is polite, Wei Chu has long been a family, Gu Mengzhu has been mediating disputes in the rivers and lakes for several years, and his prestige is rising, Lao Hong is the first to admire," Hong Tianbo smiled roughly, and arched his hand.
"The position of the leader of the alliance, the capable person lives in it, but there is something unclear below," Yu Pingzi shook the dust.
"It's okay to say what the head of the jade screen is," Gu Mengbai said with a smile.
"My Central Plains Martial Arts is a family, needless to say, no matter who is the leader of the alliance, there is no objection to the poor road, but this stargazing platform is a sect outside the Guanwai, and it has only risen in the past ten years, and the lord of Xiao Lou is also a national teacher of the Hu clan, if he is elected, how can he lead my Great Wei Wulin as a foreign race?" Yu Pingzi snorted after speaking.
"Exactly," several echoed.
"Amitabha", "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable", Shaolin and Wudang sing a promise, obviously agreeing with what the Kunlun school said.
"Master Liu, what do you think?" Gu Mengbai smiled and turned his head to ask.
"Everyone, Liu is dying of old age, since the son of the son of the boat ran away, the Tibetan Sword Villa has long ceased to be in its former glory, the talents of the Liu family are withering, and the second son is embarrassed by the heavy building, no matter who is the leader of the alliance, Liu Mou wants to be good to himself, and the Tibetan Sword Villa is closed and retired, and he spends the rest of his life in peace. ”
"The owner of Liu Zhuang is too humble, in the past, the eldest prince of Guizhuang used to return to Tibet to hide the nine swords across the rivers and lakes, except for the violence and peace, the autumn dew sword out, rare match, known as the first sword in the world, the origin of the Tibetan Sword Mountain Zhuang, and I heard that the former eldest prince had obtained the martial arts mastery "Rhubarb Court Sutra", and he had been enlightened for a long time, and his internal swordsmanship was the first in the world, why did the owner of the village have such a reclusive heart?" Gu Mengbai responded with a smile.
"What?" the heads of the various factions on the mountain did not know.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lord Liu, Guizhuang really got the "Rhubarb Court Sutra"?
"The Rhubarb Court Sutra is sold in the market, if you are interested, you can buy a few copies, go back to study, Liu has never heard of the evil son has any adventures, not to mention that the evil son has already betrayed the house, there has been no news for decades, the old man has already died as him," Liu Cangwu is not lying to say, there are many Taoist classics for sale in the market, and the Huang Ting sold on the market is just stating some basic methods of spitting out health preservation, not a secret to learning.
"The owner of the village should know that what Gu said is not the Huang Ting. ”
It turns out that this "Rhubarb Court Sutra" is not a secret book, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes, this scripture is from Wudang Ziyi Zhenren, it is an ordinary classic recited by real people every day, but in his later years, he will learn all his life and annotate it, and integrate it into this scripture, but whether it is true is unknown, this secret is known to very few people in the rivers and lakes, Chunyang Zhenren is the head of Wudang, and he should know one or two, I don't know how this Gu Mengbai knows, it is Liu Cangwu, and he only heard a few words from his parents.
"Your Tibetan sword ancestor Desheng Gong was born in Wudang, and then went down the mountain to join the army, earned a great fame, and went to Wudang when he returned to his hometown, and sent a 100-year-old purple-clothed real person to feather and ascend to the immortal, and when the real person passed away, he gave the commentary to the scriptures, don't you know?"
Liu Cangwu was also surprised when he heard this, the fact that Desheng Gong was born in Wudang was never heard of by himself, this Gu Meng had a white mouth and white teeth, and he didn't know what the ancestors wanted, so he slammed the Xuantie Huiyue Sword to the ground, "Master Gu Meng, your Gu clan is a relict of the former Chu, and in vain Gu Dawei Wulin has become an example, and he actually let the Hu clan outside the Guanwai disturb the rivers and lakes, and the head of Yupingzi questioned him, but he talked about him left and right, and spread rumors for no reason, where did the so-called come from?" If I learn advanced martial arts, how can the position of the leader of this alliance allow you to sit firmly, Liu has only sought self-preservation for many years, and has never interfered in the affairs of this martial arts, if it is only for the position of the leader of the alliance today, it can be said that Liu still has self-knowledge, and has already indicated that he is about to return to the forest, and he will not fight with you for this false name, and he will leave, "Ignore everyone, turn around and leave."
When everyone heard what Liu Cangwu said, there was some truth, not to mention that this Huangting secret was an ethereal thing, and no one had ever seen or practiced it in a hundred years, after all, it was just a legend, and this Gu Alliance Master answered the question, which made people feel strange.
"Master Liuzhuang waits, Xiao has something to ask," Xiao Wuchen, who was standing in the corner, was dressed in a dark robe, with long hair and starry eyes, and a few fairy wind bones.
"What's the matter?" Liu Cangwu didn't reply, and hummed on the spot.
"Where's the little apprentice?"
"Hmph, you're talking about Xiao Luqi's? That ran away from home with her son decades ago, and afterwards your stargazing platform rose to the north, and I knew that she was a spy of your stargazing platform, you came to ask me? That disturbed the rivers and lakes, harmed my son, and tired me to hide my sword and make enemies of many factions, the old man can't wait to eat his flesh raw, can you not know his whereabouts?
"Wait," Xiao Wuchen and Gu Mengbai shouted in unison, and the sound was so loud that people arrived, "If you don't say anything about Wan'er today, you have to leave." ”
Xiao Wuchen left palm and right sword, Gu Mengbai a long sword, and bullied up from the left and right respectively.
Liu Cangwu heard the sound of the wind, the Huiyue sword scabbard was inserted into the ground, three inches into the stone, turned around and pulled out the Huiyue sword, turned around and took a sword, took a hard move, and said angrily: "What do you want?
The rest of the heads of the factions looked dazed, they didn't know why Xiao and Gu were in trouble, so they could only stand by for the time being, at this time, behind a huge stone gap on the peak, a pair of eyes stared at the people in the field, and restrained their breath, this person was in a black robe and black pants, and a black scarf was masked, it was the Shangzhu Guo Nie Jingtao who had been dormant on the top of the peak for several days.
"Lord Liuzhuang, the master of your sect killed several of my disciples outside the North Lonely City, and severely damaged my Tianji Hall Star Lord, and this account will be calculated today. ”
"It turned out that revenge is coming, why is the old man afraid, and look at me hiding the sword," Liu Cangwu had all his hair, held the long sword back, pinched it with his left hand, ran through his body, rubbed his body and went up, his left hand burst out of the sword qi, repelled Gu Mengbai's sword, his right hand held the hilt of the sword, and his backhand drew a circle with the sword, catching Xiao Wuchen's star-picking knife.
Xiao Wuchen's falling moon palm and star-picking knife have been perfected, Gu Mengbai's Xiaoxiang sword is as fast as raindrops, Liu Cangwu is hidden, knocked, hit, falls, leaves, attached, stroked, returned, and empty nine-style sword tricks to pick up, the three of them come and go, the palm goes to point, the bluestone ground bursts out from time to time sparks, drawing out the ravines, the three of them are like silk, where they pass, the trees break and the flowers fall, and the dust flies and the stones crack.
Liu Cangwu shouted: "Hengyang Yan goes without paying attention, all laws are empty, and the sword is proud of the sky," to return to the sword trick to lead the empty sword trick, spread his arms, control the qi as a sword, the surrounding air seems to be stagnant, Huiyue Sword Sword Gang is like a substance, like a magnet, the wind and moon on the top of the mountain, the sun and the air are all absorbed, and the sword moves that everyone looks at seem to be very slow.
I only heard a thunderous sound, the top of the mountain was shocked, the corners of Liu Cangwu's mouth oozed blood, only to feel that the qi and blood were stagnant, not waiting for the opponent to return the move, so he also took advantage of this empty sword trick to move back, and then spit out a mouthful of blood, without saying a word, turned around and jumped into the air, and fled straight down the mountain.
"Master Liu," Hong Tianbo walked a few steps quickly, wanting to step forward to help, but Liu Cangwu was desperate and fled, making the heads of the factions stunned.
"It's a pity that I ran away from Liu Lao'er and couldn't finish my work in one battle," Xiao Wuchen exhaled several times, exhaled the stagnant breath in his chest, and said helplessly to Gu Mengbai.
"It's okay, Liu Lao'er's nine sword tricks have not yet been integrated, it seems that he has not yet reached the realm of human sword unity, he is quick to see the opportunity, after this last sword is used, he must have noticed it, and then he escaped, and then someone greeted him, I will wait until I finish dealing with the people on the mountain first," Gu Mengbai said with Xiao Wuchen as if no one was around.
"Alliance leader, what do you mean?" Hong Tianbo was the closest, and when he heard what the two said, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Gu Mengbai clapped his hands, put away his long sword, and resumed his elegant style, "Gang Leader Hong, I heard that the Cao Gang recently received a message from Brother Ling, blocking the Cao River, and the south is not going north, is this matter serious?"
"This is my Cao Gang's help, what does it have to do with you?" Hong Tianbo frowned, thinking in his heart, "This is a secret in the gang, my brother sent a letter a few days ago to inform me that this Gu Mengbai is far away in Tiannan, how do you know?"
Xiao Wuchen then turned to Yupingzi and said: "I heard that the Kunlun faction is worried about the country and the people, and over the past few decades, countless disciples have gone down the mountain and joined the army, and there are more than 100 people above the general in the northwest. ”
"The rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, although I Kunlun lives far away in the snow mountain, but I am favored by the Central Plains, I dare not forget for a moment, the disciples in the door fight for the country, resist foreign insults, and help the people of the Central Plains, I am only proud of this head, why not?"
"Okay," the rest of the heads heard Yu Pingzi say this, and praised the joint.
"Master Tang Ao, I heard that the Tang Gate chariots and horses travel all over the world, and a lot of confidential military information outside the customs is from the hands of the Tang Sect, is it not?" Xiao Wuchen asked Tang Ao again.
"Although my Tang Sect lives in the middle of Sichuan and is unruly and independent, I know who is the orthodoxy of my ancestors," Tang Ao's nostrils turned to the sky, and he didn't bother to respond.
"Good", another burst of echo admiration.
"Since the Great Wei Wulin is so united, I think they are all loyal and righteous people, now the two princes have inherited the unification, and the lord of Xiao Lou of the Stargazing Platform has also been recruited to his command, and the new emperor will become a family inside and outside the gate, and the new emperor is eloquent and strategic, and intends to make a gentleman's covenant with you, as long as you support the new emperor and help intercept the rebellion, you will pass on the decree and never interfere in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and each faction only needs to act as usual. ”
Nie Jingtao heard it behind the stone, cold sweat was like rain, a good Li Cunyi, this trip to the martial arts conference was really not simple, he was impatient, and his face was warm and heartbeat.
"Who?" Xiao Wuchen struck out with a palm, and the palm of the falling moon was powerful, and he suddenly struck a palm print on the boulder where Nie Jingtao was hiding, and the rubble flew all over the place.
Nie Jingtao knew that he was excited just now, his heart was beating faster, and his hiding had been revealed, so he had to show up.
"You....you..... you're Nie.. Gu Mengbai was shocked, pointing to the black-clothed man standing on the boulder, his hands trembled, Nie Jingtao's face towel fell off at this time, and he raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight.
"The heads are polite, and it is the first emperor who follows Nie Jingtao personally. ”
"Shangzhu Kingdom?" everyone was surprised, "It is rumored that Wei Chu is in the Great War, and Shangzhu Kingdom is to protect Li Mingyue, but unfortunately he was martyred in the middle of the arrow, is the rumor false?"
"In the past, the old man was indeed hit by an arrow, fortunately there was no hindrance, in order to confuse the enemy, so it was rumored that he had passed away, and for many years, the old man had been serving the first emperor and living in seclusion in Beijing. ”
"Emperor Mingyue has really died?" Although everyone in the audience is from the rivers and lakes, it is still very shocking to hear that the generation of heroes has collapsed.
"Yes, when the first emperor was dying, he had passed on the crown prince Li Shouyi, and the old man was the witness, the second son of the emperor as said by the lord of Xiao Lou and the lord of the Gu League, but the usurper and murderer of the monarch, you must not be gullible, and the stargazing platform has infiltrated the northern territory for many years, intercepting and killing the prince in the front, helping the emperor to abuse the last, and the same as the cult, I should fight it together," Nie Jingtao pointed to Xiao and Gu and said loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to Nie's words, the Xiao and Gu families have been married, otherwise how could this stargazing platform rise in the rivers and lakes in just over ten years? ”
There was silence in the field, and the heads of the various factions looked at Xiao and Gu coldly, obviously agreeing with what Nie Jingtao said, although the people of the rivers and lakes do not participate in the temple dispute, but if someone vainly tries to break the soil and treason the country, provoke a war, and leave a disaster to the people, it is against the way of chivalry, and everyone will be punished.
Xiao and Gu looked at each other and smiled, "It's a pity, the layout of the past few months, the success has fallen short, Shangzhu Country, in the past, your handsome army went south, slaughtering countless Chu people, and today you are still in this Sumeru Mountain, asking you to pay for your blood debts." ”
"Are you waiting for me to be a dead man?" said angrily as the heads of the various factions stepped forward.
"Haha, don't be impatient, wait for me to clean up this Shangzhu Kingdom, and then talk to you in detail," Xiao Wuchen smiled and waved his hand, and a firework rose into the sky, exploding a thousand red lights in the air, actually covering the sun's brilliance, and the next time fireworks rose from the mountain, everyone was surprised, but they didn't know why.
Hong Tianbo was jealous and hateful, and he was the first to rush to Nie Jingtao and protect him, and then, Yan Beigui, Yu Pingzi, Tang Ao and others all sacrificed weapons, and the war was about to break out.
"Everyone, don't struggle for nothing, Tang Ao Sect Master, I heard that the Tang Sect is good at poisoning, have you ever noticed something unusual," Xiao Wuchen said with a smile.
Tang Ao's heart sank when he heard this, and when he went up the mountain, he smelled a faint fragrance, he had been immersed in poison for many years, and ordinary poisons could never escape his eyes, ears, nose and tongue, could it be?
"I heard that the Tang Sect has studied a peerless science in recent years, called Bi Sarong, the secret weapon is quenched, formless and tasteless, and unparalleled in the world. The old man's little apprentice Sun had seen it at the young master of your sect not long ago, but he couldn't bring it back, so he could only do not hesitate to test the poison and observe the effect, my stargazing platform shaking star master Han Muzhi is also good at poisoning, although it can't be imitated, but it can be replaced by his poison, and the short-term effect is generally the same, the old man called it Yulou light smoke, "Xiao Wuchen laughed, and suddenly his palms were like electricity, and he hit Nie Jingtao like a mountain and a sea, and the heads of the sect stepped forward to help each other, and as soon as they raised their breath, they all fell to the ground in a languid, and watched Xiao Wuchen shoot down the cliff with one palm Nie Jingtao, who had temporarily lost his internal strength after being poisoned.
The Golden Wing Peak towered above the clouds, thinking that Nie Jingtao could not be spared, at this time, dozens of black-clothed people ran down the mountain, all of them were killers of the stargazing platform, Xiao and Gu fixed the big points of everyone's bodies, and then each head was driven by two people, and they went away.
"Gu Mengzhu, Old Man Liu took the lead in attacking, he must have noticed that the internal breath was not smooth, so he fled in a hurry, although the light smoke of the Yulou can contain the internal force, the toxicity cannot be compared with the blue sarong, if you want to provoke martial arts disputes, you still need to spend some thought on the mountain, I have arranged it under the mountain, this time it will be called Dawei Wulin for several years without peace, you and I will work together to plan this great river and mountain," Xiao Wuchen laughed, full of spirit.
"Yes, without these old ghosts, the rivers and lakes will be under the control of you and me, and with a little use, they can be used by me, but that crazy Taoist is not easy to deal with, his martial arts and scheming are all first-class in the world, better than his father, and I heard that this guy has a good relationship with Beihou in Beigu Town, which is not very easy to do," Gu Mengbai said.
"The amorous swordsman is more fetters, don't worry, he will still be fishing in the cave, I'll wait for the slow picture, haha." ”
"Very wonderful," Xiao and Gu struck with both palms, looking up to the sky and smiling.
All the factions under Mount Meru are resting in their respective tents, many small gangs are still hangover and have not woken up, the Cao Gang has no intention of being the leader of the alliance, and there are many people, so they live in a relatively remote place, and all the people in the gang sit around the big tent, waiting for the gang leader to return, Wu Donglin is very concerned this time, and Qingxuan is not allowed to go around.
At noon, when the scorching sun was in the sky, Qingxuan went out to relieve himself, and as soon as he came out of the big tent, he saw Tang Jingyu's brother and sister coming together, the two sides were of similar grades, and because of the madness, they all abandoned their previous suspicions and shook hands and made peace.
Tang Jingyu was a little older, and when he saw that Qingxuan's grade was small, he had an extraordinary momentum when he fought with him, so he regarded him as a friend, laughed, put aside his sister, and made it easier for Qingxuan to go to a big pine tree in the distance outside the tent to solve a small problem, and just after chatting a few words, he heard an explosion in the air, and fireworks appeared, bright red, so he couldn't help but look up.
"Brother Yu, in broad daylight, do you martial arts people still set off fireworks?" asked Qing Xuan.
"No, who sets off fireworks in broad daylight, this fireworks are so colorful, not like ordinary fireworks," Tang Jingyu was also puzzled.
When the two teenagers were amazed, they suddenly saw an old man in the treetop flying by stepping on the leaves, holding a sharp sword in his hand, passing the two teenagers, and going straight to the lodging place of the Tibetan Sword Villa. ”
Vaguely hearing a commotion in the place of the Hidden Sword Villa over there, Tang Jingyu's face suddenly changed, "Someone is coming, there are quite a few people." ”
The two teenagers hurriedly lifted their trouser belts, called Tang Jinghong, and went back to greet the elders in the gang.
Qing Xuan ran a few steps quickly, Kankan ran to the door of the Cao Gang's big tent, and heard the sound of breaking the sky, Wu Donglin and a few people had obviously heard the movement, and put Qing Xuan into the big tent with one hand, and operated the desk with his left hand, quickly blocked, and more than ten people in the Cao Gang all took out their weapons and flew objects.
"It's the poisonous sand of the Haisha Gang, damn it, my Cao Gang and the river water don't interfere with the well water, and they dare to sneak attack us," the right protector Wei Wenchang was like a raging fire, and he turned around to go to the Haisha Gang to fight.
"Wait," Wu Donglin stopped Wei Wenchang, "This matter is unusual, not to mention that my Cao Gang and the Haisha Gang have no grievances in recent days, and there is no enmity in the past, not to mention that in this martial arts conference, how dare a small gang of him rashly provoke us, etc., this matter must be considered in the long run." ”
"Yes, what Zuo Protector said is very true, let's wait for the helper to return, and think about it in the long run," several helmsmen present agreed with what Wu Donglin said.
"Uncle Wu, Brother Yu and I just saw an old man flying over there," Qing Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to inform the Cao Gang of what Fang had just seen and heard.
"The trees here are dense, the field of vision is cramped, it is better for us to meet with the people of the Tang Sect to discuss countermeasures, the Tang Men are good at using hidden weapons, and the combination is beneficial to both sides," Wudong is not chaotic in danger, and everyone agrees.
Wait for a while, the sneak attack outside the tent seems to have retreated, everyone out of the tent to the east, wait for the Cao gang everyone to rush to the Tang Gate accommodation, only to see that there are a number of yellow-clothed men outside the tent nailed to the tree with a secret weapon, look at the clothes, they are all Golden Knife Door people, the two sides combined, both feel that something is strange, so they unanimously agreed to rush to the Golden Wing Peak, there is an accident at the bottom of the mountain, the head of the house is alone on the mountain, it is really worrying.
The two factions live at the foot of the mountain, at the moment they join forces together, rush to the mountain along the road, and when they turn through the dense forest, they hear the earth-shattering shouting and killing, the camp of the factions in the open space under the mountain, in the early morning, it is still peaceful, the talents of the factions push the cup and change the lamp, call the brother and the brother, at this moment all the eyes are about to split, the sword is facing each other, and the blood is flowing in the wilderness.
I saw Kunlun against the Shanghuajian faction, Shaolin and the giant whale gang fighting, Wudang and the Diancang faction fighting sometimes, all parties caught and killed, and from time to time there were other factions and gangs suffered from the pond fish, and suddenly the melee was in one place.
"Stop," Tang Zhan and Wu Donglin shouted at the same time, this angry shout used internal force, like a flat ground to explode thunder, and the various factions fought like they were being drunk, and gradually withdrew their troops to stop the battle, but they raised their swords and held swords, secretly on guard.
"Let's listen to the old man's words, now the heads of all factions are discussing the choice of the leader of the alliance on the top of the mountain, but we don't know what is going on, don't you think there is a difference in fighting here?" Tang Zhan arched his hand.
"Donal's seniors, the younger generations have no intention of fighting, it's just that the Cangmen people killed my junior brother for no reason, and this hatred is not shared," Wudang rookie Zhao Zhenyu looked angry.
"I ordered the Cang faction to live in Yunnan, and I have no grievances with you Wudang, why did I kill your junior brother? But it was your Wudang disciple who attacked all the junior sisters in my faction, causing the death of my two junior sisters, how can this matter be explained?" Hao Xiong, a disciple of Diancang, said indignantly.
A loud argument erupted in the crowd.
"Everyone, please be quiet," Tang Zhan took two steps forward and arched his hand: "My Tang Sect was also attacked by the Golden Dao Gate, and the brothers of the Cao Gang were also splashed with poisonous sand by the Haisha Gang, both factions were present, do you have any suspicions with me?"
"Of course not," the two big disciples came out of the crowd, "Ten good hands from the Golden Dao Sect came to participate in the meeting this time, except for my father who went to the Golden Wing Peak, the rest are all here, how can I sneak attack," Yan Falcon stepped forward and saluted.
"That's it, the factions will stop for the time being, there are many doubts about this matter, all the factions in the field are there, except for the stargazing platform, it must be the Hu clan who is deliberately stirring up right and wrong, the talents of the ten factions should go up the mountain as soon as possible, and the heads of the factions will make a decision, and the rest of the people will return to avoid trouble, what do you think?" Tang Zhan said so, but he felt his heart beating, the mountain was like this, but the mountain did not know what the situation was.
Everyone in the field felt justified after hearing this, and the ten major sect members did not care about greeting Tang Zhan and others, and were worried about the safety of their respective heads, so they rushed to the top of the mountain, and the rest of the people helped the injured, guarded each other, and returned separately.
A good martial arts event, it ended like this, which was unexpected.
The people of the ten factions climbed to the top like a desperate person, and looked at it, although the peak of the Golden Wing Peak was large, it was also extremely empty, and there was no one at this moment, and the various factions couldn't help but look at each other.
"Master," "Father," "Master," "Master," the crowd was at a loss, shouting loudly and anxiously, "Where are you?"
"Someone," a faint cry for help came from behind a boulder on the top of the mountain.
"Someone," Wudang Zhao Zhenyu walked in the front, and jumped on the boulder first, "It's Gu Mengzhu." ”
"Master," the disciple of the Gu family quickly stepped forward when he heard this, helped the master to sit down in the middle of the field, fed the healing elixir, a few sips of water, Gu Mengbai coughed non-stop, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Alliance leader, alliance leader, how are you? What about my father? What about my master?"
"Get out of the way," the Gu family disciple said angrily, pushing away the people around him, and one of the disciples gently patted Gu Mengbai on the back.
Gu Mengbai was angry, pointed to the edge of the cliff, and then pointed to the ground, "Liu ..... Tang ....." He tilted his head and passed away.
"Master, Master," the disciples of the Gu family cried when they saw their master pass away, crying out to the heavens and the earth.
Tang Zhan's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were tightly locked, Gu Mengbai was the leader of the previous martial arts alliance, not to mention his outstanding martial arts, with one hand Xiaoxiang sword rain crisscrossing the south of the sky, there were few opponents, he could seriously injure Gu Mengbai to death, and retreat with his whole body, he had not heard of such a person in the rivers and lakes, unless the great prince of the hidden sword? No, no, no, it is impossible.
"Huh," Tang Jingyu looked at Gu Mengbai's body from a distance, followed the place where Gu Mengbai pointed before he died, was shocked, and looked back at Tang Zhan.
When everyone in the Tang Sect saw it, they were all discolored, the flowers and plants were blue, emerald like jade, and the ravines on the ground were all new marks.
"Amitabha," Shaolin Temple stepped forward, "The donors of the Gu family, please mourn, and please let the poor monks chant a few sutras for the alliance leader, and go to the Elysian World." ”
Hearing this, the Gu family disciple wiped his tears, "Master Xie." ”
Because he stepped forward, he groomed Gu Mengbai a little, tidied up his sideburns, and then folded his hands and chanted in a low voice.
Wen Wanzhao, a female disciple of the Huajian faction, used a long sword to break through the placket of one of them, only to see that the chest was blue, and then picked open Gu Meng's white placket, and it was all blue.
"Bi sarong, this is the unique secret weapon of the Tang Sect, the Bi sarong," everyone finally reacted, and all the brushes retreated a few feet, drawing their swords to each other, and the Tang Sect only helped everyone to move.
The surviving disciples of the Gu family were furious, pointing at the Tang Sect and scolding: "We have no grievances with the Tang Sect, and the martial arts conference is also at the end of the point, the master muttered to himself the words 'Liu, Tang' when he was dying, it must be your Tang Sect sneak attack with a poisonous secret weapon, looking at the ravines on the ground, it seems to be caused by sword qi, you still have helpers, you want to wipe out all the factions? Yes or no? I fought with you." ”
"Let's do it slowly," Wu Donglin stopped the attack with a phantom wave finger, "And don't be excited, you leaders are still nowhere to be seen, and you can't take things out of context and kill each other." ”
"My Tang Sect Master Tang Ao is also nowhere to be found, could it be that he poisoned himself?" Tang Zhan was also angry, the poison of this person who blamed the evil had already surpassed any poison in the world.
"Yes, I help the Hong gang leader is nowhere to be seen, this ravine, only the sword qi of the Tibetan Sword Villa can have this power, this crazy Taoist and the young master of the Tang Sect once witnessed a person fighting a sword down the mountain, shouting 'Chonglou my son', presumably it must be the owner of Liu Zhuang Undoubtedly, the leader of the alliance pointed to the edge of the cliff, it is better for me to go down the mountain for the time being, first go to the cliff to find, if nothing is found, then go to the Tibetan Sword Villa to ask clearly," Wu Donglin's words were quite pertinent, everyone was speechless, and they hurriedly went down the mountain to find it without waiting for an order.
