Volume 2: Bloody Rain Chapter 18: Gather at Baiyun Temple, just at noon.
When Bai Yujing was squatting outside the courtyard of Yuchengzi, inside the Donghua Gate, the Wenyuan Pavilion, which was the most powerful in the Ming Dynasty, was still lit. Chongyang is approaching, Yan Song went out of Wenyuan Pavilion to meet the saint, originally planned to play the matter of the saint's Chongyang ascending, but only saw the chief eunuch Huang Jin, only to know that the saint and the newly entered the palace Blue Immortal practiced the Taishang Beidou Twenty-eight chapters together, as for when to go out, I am afraid that it will be less than seven days, and more than half a month.
Yan Song couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he had seen the blue immortal from afar, and he didn't seem to have any great skills, but he heard that he was asking the immortal to come out of his magic with one hand. He didn't expect this person to be so quickly favored by the Holy Grace, and his heart would have to visit one or two one day.
I also remembered that Lu Bing would have to duel with the swordsman of the rivers and lakes the day after tomorrow, if the saint did not retreat and practice, he might be able to instruct the forbidden army to wipe out those people in the rivers and lakes. But the Holy Retreat, if he wants to use the forbidden army, Lu Bing is the only one, thinking of the Lu Bing who has won the favor of the Holy Lord, Yan Song had no choice but to shake his head, this person is not his own person after all, he can only pursue it with interests.
This is also because Yan Song is too old, and his head is not as good as before, so he can't see what happened recently and what has to do with him. After returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, Xu Jie had already served good tea, Yan Song looked at Xu Jie, who had a deferential look, and nodded.
The next day, a group of brocade guards with round collars and armor and a sword across their waists poured into Baiyun Temple. Baiyun Temple has a long history and was built in the Tang Dynasty, but the real prosperity was after Changchun Ziqiu, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, entered the master of Quanzhen, and now the subjective person is also a Quanzhen person.
In the face of court forces such as Jinyiwei, don't say Baiyunguan, even if Wudang and Shaolin, the leaders of the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, together do not dare to oppose Jinyiwei. Fortunately, this group of Jinyi guards did not make a big move, but just drove out the people in the rivers and lakes except for the Taibai swordsman and the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple.
For a time, the entire capital was in an uproar. Although most people had long expected that Lu Bing, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, could he let everyone gather around to watch the show. But no one expected that Jinyiwei would be so domineering and drive everyone away.
On the same day, many people received invitations one after another. Most of them are well-known figures from all over the world, and some are from famous families. Bai Yujing had been guarding outside Yu Chengzi's courtyard, and was stunned to find that someone from Jinyi Wei had also come to the door to deliver an invitation.
The Huashan faction is also well-known in the rivers and lakes.
He vaguely understood in his heart why the old man had stayed in the courtyard all the time, and he was afraid that it was this invitation for him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but go back halfway. Sure enough, Ye Xipeng had already prepared an invitation for him.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and tomorrow is the Double Ninth Double Yang.
In the White Cloud Temple, Su Nisheng sat in the hall of suffering. The Temple of Salvation enshrines the Ten Directions to Save the Suffering Tianzun, the statue of the Tianzun is solemn, riding on the lifelike nine lions, holding the nectar vase in the left hand, and holding the sword of slaying demons in the right hand, the divine power is like a prison.
Jia Baoyu was not on the side, but an old Taoist priest with a long white beard sat opposite him with a whisk in his hand.
"When I saw you, I was only a young man, and today I see you again, your hair is whiter than the old way, Su Nisheng, Su Nisheng, you Taibai swordsmen never ask about the affairs of the court, so why bother to wade into this muddy water. The old Taoist priest sighed slightly.
Su Nisheng didn't answer, but looked at the Heavenly Venerable of Suffering Enshrined in the hall, and muttered: "Tianzun extradited the suffering souls to die, but who can save the suffering people in this world?"
The old Taoist priest didn't agree when he heard this, but laughed.
"When will you Taibai swordsmen also be like the monks in those temples who are compassionate and compassionate? Su Nisheng, even if you wade into this muddy water, why do you pull the white cloud temple of the poor road into the water. ”
Su Nisheng also smiled.
A voice sounded outside the door: "It's not him, it's me who pulled you into the water." ”
Lao Dao's face changed slightly, and he didn't even notice when this person arrived. On the other hand, Su Nisheng seems to have noticed it and is not alarmed. I saw that the man was wearing a hat on his head and dressed plainly, and slowly walked into the temple. When he took off the hat, he revealed a face full of vicissitudes.
"He Xinyin, why are you here?" the old Taoist priest exclaimed.
The person who came was Jiangxi hero He Xinyin.
After the old Taoist priest was surprised, he figured it out again, and muttered, "I see, I see." Speaking of this, he glanced at He Xinyin and said, "Brother Chu's favor is still alive, and Lao Dao's life was also saved by Mengyang Minggong back then, so I will return it tomorrow." ”
He Xinyin shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhong, you are too worried, I only hope that you will stop someone after the first battle tomorrow." ”
"Who?"
"The knife flies. ”
The name He Xinyin said made Uncle Zhong slightly stunned, he hadn't heard the name Dao Fei for a long time. Ten years ago, Dao Fei became famous for his flying knife stunt, but he quickly disappeared like a meteor. The world said that he died at the hands of the Taibai swordsman, but he didn't die at all when he heard He Xinyin's meaning.
He Xinyin could see Uncle Zhong's doubts, and he continued: "This person entered the Yan Mansion ten years ago, and he hasn't been out of the rivers and lakes for ten years, of course you don't know. ”
"Is he in the Yan Mansion?" Uncle Zhong's face changed slightly, who in the capital didn't know the dictatorship of Yan Song's father and son, sighed, and said: "Okay, after this trip, Lao Dao will go to Laoshan in Shandong and let Senior Brother Shang come over." ”
He Xinyin heard that he should accept it, and couldn't help but bow slightly.
"Su Shaoxia, He Mou has thanked Your Excellency on behalf of the people of the world here!" he bowed and saluted.
"Don't dare, He Daxia remembers the previous promise. Su Nisheng replied, "I passed by the Lu Mansion a few days ago, thirty zhang away, then Lu Bing's body is full of energy, there is no flaw, and there is no certainty in the battle tomorrow, if He Daxia has other arrangements, try to do it as soon as possible." ”
He Xinyin couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Although he has never really seen Su Nisheng's sword, every time he sees Su Nisheng, he can feel that Su Nisheng's sword has undergone transformation again and again. He Xin asked himself, even if his Heart True Sutra cultivation was complete, he was not Su Nisheng's opponent with a sword.
He Xinyin nodded, thanked Su Nisheng again and floated away.
The next day, the Double Ninth Double Ninth Festival, is the time to climb high and look far away.
For Baiyun Temple, it is an extremely important festival. The ninth day of September is not only the Christmas of Doumu Yuanjun, but also the birthday of Wang Chongyang, the true patriarch.
The bell rang twenty-seven times in the morning, and repeated three times for a total of eighty-one.
Although the Taibai swordsman made an appointment with Lu Bing here, the Taoists of Baiyun Temple still opened the mountain gate as in previous years to celebrate Wang Chongyang's birthday. Outside the gate, countless people in the rivers and lakes rushed to the market, but the brocade guards with round collar armor and a Yanling knife at their waists blocked the Baiyun Temple early, and the people in the idle rivers and lakes did not dare to approach at all.
"That's Yan Songzi of the Wudang Sect. ”
"Luzhou Wuhuasan people also came. ”
“......”
One after another, it was like holding a martial arts conference, except for the Shaolin Temple, the nine major sects of the righteous path of the rivers and lakes did not send people to come, and the rest of the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun, or Qingcheng Emei in Sichuan, whether they were far away, all sent people to watch the battle.
There are also quite a few famous figures on the rivers and lakes, such as Xiao Yikong, the iron-crowned and silver-speared man of Baoding Mansion, Ma Liang, the ten-step iron fist of Qingzhou Mansion, and so on......
In the eyes of many people in the rivers and lakes, the famous people of the famous families and rivers and lakes entered the Baiyun Temple one by one with invitations.
Bai Yujing also followed Yu Chengzi and his group of Huashan faction far away into Baiyun Temple, and in the past two days, the old man had been staying in Yu Chengzi's courtyard, so he had no idea what to do.
When he entered the Baiyun Temple, he knew that it was going to be bad, although he could only enter the Baiyun Temple if he had an invitation. But often there are many disciples with invitations in hand, and at this time, the Baiyun Temple is full of visitors with swords and swords, and the jade Chengzi suddenly disappeared when he turned around, but the old man was with those young Huashan Dao people.
Bai Yujing had to wander around while searching, and before he could find any trace of Yu Chengzi, he saw an acquaintance who had just walked into the view, it was She Shiming.
Bai Yujing saw She Shiming, and She Shiming also recognized Bai Yujing at first sight. Bai Yujing originally thought that this would be a big fight, but for some reason, She Shiming just glanced at him lightly, and went straight towards the Jade Emperor Palace.
What Bai Yujing didn't know was that She Shiming always remembered that the person who rescued Bai Yujing that day was the Taibai Sword Technique. In his opinion, Bai Yujing obviously had a lot to do with the Taibai Swordsman. Now, the Taibai Swordsman himself is in the Baiyun Temple, if he makes a move and angers the Taibai Swordsman, wouldn't his life be in danger.
As for informing Yan Shifan to arrest people, it's okay to catch people, but if you can't catch people, not only will you have to be scolded by Yan Shifan, but you will definitely be annoyed by Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, isn't it unflattering to both ends. So he thought that if he didn't do it now, when the Taibai swordsman and Lu Bing fought a decisive battle, no one would be able to help Bai Yujing.
In the Yan Mansion outside Dong'an Gate, a figure suddenly left. After this person left, a figure also appeared in the alley next to him, he looked at the quiet Yan Mansion, and muttered: "This Yang Liulong is finally gone, She Shiming is the first to go, and the knife flew out of Yan Mansion half an hour ago, and now there is only one seriously injured Yin Jiufeng left." ”
He looked up at the sun again, and when it was close to noon, he said in his heart: "Lu Bing should also go out now." He glanced at the Xicheng where the Baiyun Temple was located, and hesitated slightly, but he did not go towards the Xicheng.
At this time, just as the man thought, Lu Bing was already riding in a sedan chair and heading towards Baiyun Temple with a large number of brocade guards.
In the Baiyun Temple, everyone was in an uproar, because Su Nisheng appeared. It's like a white cloud floating from outside the mountain and falling on the bell tower. He stood with his sword in his hand, his expression indifferent, and his eyes looked up at the clouds with deep eyes.
"Command!"
As the loud voice came from afar, a figure jumped onto the drum tower on the east side of the bell tower. Lu Bing was wearing a bright yellow robe, embroidered with a four-clawed flying fish pattern, carrying a long knife at his waist, and looking at Su Nisheng with four eyes.
"Su Nisheng has seen Commander Lu. ”
