Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 38 The Ancient Temple of the River

But since this Kebineng has a 'unicorn arm' and his martial arts are still so high, maybe he is really a descendant of Ke Luo. He fought with Zhang Fei for more than a dozen rounds in one go, and it was difficult to solve it for a while.

Liu Bei squatted down and whispered greetings to the one-armed man sitting on the ground, the one-armed man signaled that it was okay, and slowly stood up with his hand covering his abdomen, Cao Cao saw clearly that he had a dagger in his abdomen, although he stopped the bleeding, he still didn't dare to pull it out.

The one-armed man went straight to the man in Chinese clothes who was the leader and asked: "It seems that the grievances of eighteen years ago are going to be settled today, and the old man's life is ruined in the hands of your brothers. ”

Cao Cao on the roof was stunned, Zhang Bao should be outside the 'Qin Palace' at the moment, why did he come here again so quickly?

Zhang Bao said with a smile: "Mi Zhen, I knew today, why bother at the beginning, you escaped your life eighteen years ago, and eighteen years later, you still died in the hands of our brothers? ”

Mi Zhen retorted: "Back then, in Zhuo County, Zhang Youdao took the male sword away, resulting in the separation of the male and female of the 'double-strand sword' for 18 years. It's ridiculous that you actually ask for a sword from the old man in reverse. ”

Mi Zhen, this one-armed man is Mi Yue's father? Cao Cao remembered what Guan Yu said a few days ago, and remembered the infighting in the 'Hongmen' mentioned by Brother Xiang in Butterfly Valley that day, so he strung these things together.

Scene by scene flashed in Cao Cao's mind, and he basically sorted out the matter. It should be Zhang Jiao, Mi Zhen and Lu Bu's father are all 'Hongmen' elders, eighteen years ago, 'Hongmen' had an internal fight, first Lu Bu's father and Zhang Jiao's brothers secretly attacked the nominal head of the Xiang clan at that time, and almost wiped out the Xiang clan.

Then he took advantage of the happy day of Mi Yue's full moon to surprise the prestigious Mi Zhen family, and Mi Zhen and his wife were both injured and fled, so that the only ones who competed for the position of the head of the 'Hongmen' were Lu Bu's father and Zhang Jiao's brothers.

The two fought inwardly, the Zhang Jiao brothers were defeated, retreated to the Zhang family in Julu County, and since then they have been separated from the 'Hongmen', but the Zhang Jiao brothers found Mi Zhen's hiding news in Nangong County, not far from Julu, so they sent Zhang Youdao four brothers to sneak attack and grab the sword, Mi Zhen's wife died, he fled all the way north with his daughter, and was finally caught up by the Juma River in Zhuo County, fortunately rescued by the young Liu Bei and the beggar gang leader Fan Dan, but it was a pity that the male sword of the 'double-strand sword' was inserted in Zhang Youdao's body and was brought back and fell into Zhang Jiao's hands.

As for the female sword, Zhang Jiao also determined that it was in the hands of Mi Yue of the Five Fowl Sword Sect through the information of the ghost shadow, so he took advantage of the 'Hongmen' mantis to catch cicadas and snatch them, and when they snatched it, a yellow finch came behind, and the third master Zhang Liang grabbed it from the hands of the Water Dragon King, but unfortunately he was not caught up, and he was killed by Guan Yu halfway, and became the final winner.

As for Kebineng, he was dedicated to the great cause of restoring the country, so he did not hesitate to cooperate with Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army, and he didn't know what means he used to lead Mi Zhen and Liu Bei to this 'River Ancient Temple'.

From Zhang Fei's words, it can be concluded that Kebi can plot against Mi Zhen, but in fact, they have no grievances, so Mi Zhen's main target is always the Zhang Jiao brothers.

It seems that Zhang Jiao did not show up, and only sent his second brother Zhang Bao to deal with the matter. And Cao Cao also has doubts about the 'Zhang Bao' Cao in front of him, because this person is not the same person as Zhang Bao of the 'Weeping Willow Fang', which means that one of the two must be fake.

Cao Cao was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a loud bang in front of the right side of the main hall, and a big snake came out of the ground and rushed into the main hall like an arrow.

Cao Cao and the others immediately recognized that this was the blind snake. It was about the 'double-strand sword', so at the same time as the big snake entered the temple, he also jumped from the roof patio.

The big snake broke into the house and went on a rampage, everyone hurriedly dodged, and Zhang Fei and Kebineng were forced to stop fighting.

Almost at the same time as the great snake entered the temple, the little monk standing in front of the statue blurted out: "Son of God!"

At this time, the old monk who had been kneeling in front of the statue suddenly recited loudly: "Swim with the woman in the nine rivers, rush to the wind and raise the waves; ride the waterwheel and lotus cover, drive two dragons and horses; climb Kunlun and look around, and the heart is flying and mighty." “

As the old monk recited, the big snake seemed to be stimulated, and its tossing action was much smaller, and its one-eyed and fearful look at the statue of the river god, and the anger of the right person was reduced by half.

But it still had pain in its belly, and the snake's body couldn't help but curl up in circles and circles, and its throat clicked as if it was about to vomit something.

Zhang Bao stepped forward, looked at the eyes of the big snake, there were words in his mouth, the big snake was excited, and there was a fierce look in his eyes, and it looked at Zhang Bao's eyes, which were also full of fear.

It can be seen that the big snake is very scared, the old monk's voice, Zhang Bao's spell, it seems to be giving the big snake a 'tight spell', it trembles, frightened, as if in a dilemma.

Cao Cao and the three suddenly appeared, and everyone in the hall was taken aback. Kebi can wait to know Guan Yu, but no one can believe how he can find here.

Almost no one knows Cao Cao and Xiahoudun, but everyone who saw the 'Qinghong Sword' and 'Overlord Sword' in their hands was surprised and delighted, and there were many people who had seen the 'Overlord Sword', because when they were in Lu Bu's hands, they were carried inch by inch. Although the 'Qinghong Sword' has never been seen, it has its own power and is breathtaking, and it is a first-class famous sword at a glance.

"Wonderful, wonderful" Zhang Bao stroked his palms and laughed, "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes, and I can really teach me to succeed." As he spoke, the speed at which he recited the incantation increased, and the serpent finally couldn't hold it anymore and opened its mouth to pounce on the old monk.

The old monk remained motionless, still kneeling on the ground and recited: "The sun will be twilight and forget to return, but the extreme Pu Xi is in his arms; the fish scale house is in the dragon hall, the purple shell is in the pearl palace, and the spirit is in the water." ”

The old monk's speech became faster and faster, and the big snake was even more frightened, the snake's head hit the ground, and the snake's body twisted into twisted flowers, which looked very painful. There was a click in its throat, and suddenly it opened its mouth, and something flew out with a whizz, and with a thud, it was nailed to the pillar of the temple.

The big snake no longer cares about the old monk and Zhang Bao, and sprang out of the hall, quickly disappeared into the night, and after a while, everyone heard a 'plop' sound of water, presumably the big snake plunged into the old Zhang River, borrowed the water and escaped.

Guan Yu saw that it was his own package that the big snake spit out, presumably it was the 'double-strand sword' in its abdomen, which hurt its internal organs, otherwise it wouldn't be so painful in the abdomen.

Guan Yu snatched it and unwrapped it, it was the female sword and scabbard of the 'double-strand sword'.

When they reunited, Liu Guanzhang shook hands and were overjoyed.

Liu Bei took the 'double-strand sword' and walked up to Mi Zhen: "Father-in-law, the female sword has entered the scabbard, and the father-in-law has an eighteen-year covenant, and the son-in-law will kowtow to the father-in-law." ”

"Unfortunately, there is still a sword in the hands of the dog thief. Mi Zhen pulled Liu Bei up, and the two walked towards Zhang Bao together, eighteen years of grievances, it should be time to seek justice.

The two people behind Zhang Bao immediately showed their weapons and blocked in front of the master.

But Zhang Bao didn't look at Mi Zhen, but he vented his anger to the old monk: "One line, you have ruined my good deeds five times, and today's 'son of God' escaped, I vowed to break your body into ten thousand pieces." With a murderous look on his face, he took off his robe to reveal his tight short, he untied his belt, drew a long sword from it, and stabbed him in the air.

Mi Zhen recognized it at a glance, it was the male sword of the 'Double-strand Sword'.

The tip of Zhang Bao's sword was about to catch the old monk for a moment, the little monk blocked in front and caught the sword with his body, the little monk looked at the night outside the hall, and shouted softly, 'Son of God', and fell to the ground.

The old monk still faced the statue and said: "Amitabha, Sect Master Zhang, you trained the 'son of God' to decide the water of the Xiaoqing River, but you didn't know that you wanted tens of millions of Li people to suffer. ”

"Yu Hall Master has already said that I am the true Son of Heaven, and you were there at the time, how can you not believe his words? ”

"Although Hall Master Yu has the talent of ghosts and gods, he really mistook you. You stole his "Taiping Sutra" to create the Taiping God Cult, relying on this to develop the Yellow Turban Army and confront the imperial court, in the eyes of the old man, Yu Tang Master He is under Jiuquan, and he can't turn a blind eye. ”

After listening to the old monk's words, everyone was surprised, wasn't the leader of the Taiping God Sect Zhang Jiao?

Mi Zhen asked: "Master Yixing, is he... ?”

The old monk nodded, chanted 'Amitabha', and then passed away.

Zhang Bao still couldn't understand his hatred, and he was about to stab the back of the master with a sword. Mi Zhen caught it with a sword, and the two of them went back and forth, and they made several moves.

After a fight, Mi Zhen had already reached out, and the other party was Zhang Jiao.

The two have worked together in the 'Hongmen' for nearly 20 years, and they are very familiar with each other, although Mi Zhengui is an elder and is on an equal footing with Zhang Jiao's father, but they are similar to Zhang Jiao in terms of age.

At this point, Zhang Jiao simply tore off his mask and revealed his true face. Mi Zhen and Zhang Jiao haven't seen each other for eighteen years, and they found that both of them are much older. On both sides, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and there is no need to say a word more.

Signaling their respective helpers to step back, Zhang Jiao and Mi Zhen fought each other with a sword, the female sword and the male sword, they had been separated for a long time, and they really didn't expect that they hadn't seen each other for eighteen years, and the day of reunion turned out to be as an opponent.

The two swords collided from time to time, making a crisp sound, as if reminding the owner holding the sword that the male and female swords were originally one, and it was rare to reunite, how could they be separated again?

Eighteen years of grievances and grievances are all expected to make a final decision in this 'River Ancient Temple'.

Zhang Jiao's swordsmanship is light and fluttering, and the sword line is strange and changeable, obviously a veteran of the sword, while Mi Zhen's swordsmanship is calm and strong, fast and brave, the two are soft and rigid, and the fight is inseparable.

Without the master's orders, Zhang Jiao's two subordinates did not dare to step forward to help in the battle, but they looked at Liu Bei and the others behind Mi Zhen very vigilantly.

And Liu Bei and the others also knew in their hearts that Mi Zhen had been waiting for this battle for a long time, and eighteen years of grievances naturally wanted to end it with her own hands, and if she made a rash move, it would be disrespectful to her father-in-law.

Fifteen or sixteen rounds, Zhang Jiao gradually gained the upper hand. The big snake called the 'Son of God' was carefully cultivated by him, and he worked hard to see that he was about to succeed, but he was actually driven away by the old monk, and if his whereabouts are unknown in the future, affecting his great cause, how regretful and distressing it should be. So in a fit of rage, Zhang Jiao revealed his true body, and the line actually passed away on his own, he couldn't release this breath, and at this moment he couldn't help but turn all his anger to Mi Zhen, who was more and more brave the more he fought, and the sword was fierce and aggressive.

It is said that in ancient times, Chiyou had sent people to train the 'water dragon' here, attracting a monstrous flood to deal with the Yellow Emperor's troops, and later after the defeat of Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor sent his subordinates to suppress the 'water dragon' one by one, and all the evil ones were executed, and the good ones were imprisoned in a nearby underground palace, and later the local people built a 'river temple' sacrifice here to commemorate the river god in addition to the flood, and over time it developed into a small town.
