Volume 1: The Turmoil of the U.S. League Chapter 20: Working together to turn things around
At the last moment, a monk reached out to help, which made Zheng Yunci, who did not like Buddhism, still very grateful.
The monk was very old, with a goatee, all gray, with deep nasolabial folds on his face, but his skin was smooth and ruddy, and if he ignored his gray beard, he would look like he was about fifty years old at a glance.
But he is a real eighty-year-old man, and there are four holy monks in Chonglong Temple, namely Master Tianrong, Master Tianlu, Master Tianyuan, and Master Tianxiang. They are all profound figures of Buddhism and unfathomable martial arts.
Master Tianrong is the presiding abbot of Chonglong Temple, Master Tianlu is the head of the Discipline Hall, and the other two are the head of the lecture hall and the head of the meditation hall respectively.
Chonglong Temple has a transcendent status, once known as a royal temple, because there are several Dongzhao Emperor Zeng Chan let the throne after shaving here, so the royal family attaches great importance to Chonglong Temple, which is regarded as a national temple with the treasury to support. Therefore, he is not a pure martial arts sect, but whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, it has a high status. Looking at the entire Shenzhou continent, only the Zhaohe Temple and the Xifan Buda Temple of the Great Zhao Kingdom can be compared, these three are regarded as Buddhist holy places, and they are authentic through the ages.
In Dongzhao, together with the Cangyun Sword Sect, it is called the Dongzhao Shuangbi, and the Cangyun Sword Sect is classified as a Taoist court because of its tendency to cultivate truth.
Therefore, there is naturally a conflict between the two propositions, and it is no wonder that Zheng Yunci will be resistant to Chonglong Temple.
Master Tianlu was dressed in a gray monk's robe, a robe faded from color, and the dark checkered cloth shoes were put on his feet, which looked very simple, but it did not affect his image as a monk at all.
His right hand made a Buddha salute, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "Zheng Shaoxia, don't come unharmed!"
Zheng Yunci is full of black lines, are you bald man blind? I didn't see that we are all so embarrassed, where are we all fine, and we are very sick. But thinking that the old monk was here to help after all, he couldn't show it, so he had to reply: "Master Tianlu, thank you for coming to the rescue, these people are all evil demons on the rivers and lakes, and the master quickly tempered them." ”
Zheng Yunci said this very cleverly, as the saying goes, it is easy to repay the money, but it is difficult to repay the favors, if the matter rises to the Buddhist belief, the opposition between good and evil, then it is naturally the old monk's business.
How could the old monk not know his thoughts, but he didn't care what kind of person he was, and he turned his head to look at the four people opposite, naturally they all knew each other, including the two swordsmen.
Although I haven't seen each other for twenty years, Chonglong Temple knows a lot about the things on the rivers and lakes.
The four of them were repelled by a palm before, and they knew the identity of the old monk, and a trace of scruples rose in their hearts, not that they were afraid of the prestige of Chonglong Temple, but that the old monk in front of them was indeed powerful.
All the kung fu, people who are not cultivated enough, it is just a move, and the old monk is such a profound and profound cultivation of Buddhism, even if it is a move and a style, it contains the divine power of heaven and earth, not to mention the powerful Prajna palm itself.
The four of them looked at each other and fought alone, and none of them were opponents, so only by playing more and less could they have a chance of winning.
Although these four people came together, the two swordsmen looked down on the two evil bosses, but at this moment they had to put aside their prejudices and respond to the enemy together.
The four of them joined forces to attack the old monk, the two heavy swords were murderous, and the two fast swords were haunted, beckoning the old monk all over his body.
The old monk was not panicked, and the Buddha bead in his left hand was urged by the true qi, and it rotated in front of his chest, like a big shield, shining with golden light, counteracting the fierce attack of the sword. The right hand was transformed into a palm by the Buddha, and the lightning slapped out four palms, once again repelling the four people.
It's just that the four of them have cultivated to a profound grandmaster realm, so let's just say that Liu Shantong has gone through a lot of tricks with Qingyu before he is defeated, not to mention that the other three are only high.
The confrontation once again has become a melee, swords and swords, fists and palms, the entire small courtyard is full of the grandmaster's true qi, flowers, trees, houses and buildings are all beaten to a dilapidated.
Tang Wenhua and the four of them who came to help could only watch from a distance, and they didn't dare to participate at all. had to take a detour to pick up Zheng Yunci and a few people, preparing to take Song Wenxi and Zheng Hongyu away from this terrifying war-torn place.
Master Tianlu faced four people by himself, although he was not defeated, but he was also very difficult. Hou Ying saw the people who were about to escape, abandoned the old monk, and flew over with an extremely strong killing intent, Tang Wenhua and the four of them tried their best to block, but they were still defeated.
The old monk couldn't take care of it himself, and finally seemed a little anxious.
Hou Ying swept over with a sword, knocked the four Tang Wenhua who were blocking with his sword away, and headed towards Song Wenxi, seeing that he was about to succeed, but there was a very cold sword intent coming from the air, like a clear light on a moonlit night in the depths of winter, covering the sky and the earth, and the cold was piercing.
He retreated like lightning, just one step away before the sword intent would cut him in half.
It was a sword glowing with cold light, someone fell to the ground like a Guanghan fairy, glaring at him coldly, he recognized this as the Cold Moon Sect Grandmaster of the Cangyun Sword Sect.
They had received a signal to assemble at the east gate before, but they were about to take Song Wenxi, but they were disrupted by this old monk, and the plan was broken.
The other three were also understanding people, and they struggled to block the old monk's attack, and they were about to be discharged from the hospital wall in a few leaps. Behind him, a sword and a palm flew out in the air, with a loud bang, the entire wall collapsed, Wu Zide and Liu Shantong, who were slightly behind, couldn't dodge, reflexively took two attacks, and instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood, but also with this mighty force, they successfully escaped.
Seeing that Zheng Yunci was fine, Leng Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to salute Master Tianlu. After asking, I learned that the old monk went to the Great Zhao Kingdom to discuss Zen with the master Yunkong, a senior monk of Zhaohe Temple, and the spirit of the grandmaster gathered in the Wumeng, and he felt that something big had happened, so he came to ask for verification. The old monk cultivates for the Xuan, perceives the heaven and the earth, and can observe the luck, which is a bit of a creation of supernatural powers.
Everyone stepped forward to thank the old monk. He pronounced a Buddha name in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Leng Yue. Leng Yue nodded, stepped out, like moonlight all over the ground, and disappeared in the courtyard the next moment, the old monk also flashed and disappeared in place, making Yao Zhengxin and the others envious.
After settling Zheng Yunci and a few people, they were invited out by Song Fangliang again. It turned out that Tang Wenhua was the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the spy was caught, and the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes also knew what was going on, and clamored to go to help the general defend against the enemy, Song Fangliang couldn't restrain these people, so he had to come to Tang Wenhua.
The martial artists of the rivers and lakes, when they were in their own formations, they were scattered, and at this moment, the dragons had no leader, and they were noisy in front of the general's mansion compound, and when Tang Wenhua came out, he burst into cheers, shouting to take them to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
Before, because Lei Xiangjun and the two of them had a quarrel, many people were involved, and Song Fangliang was afraid that there were still spies, so he did not withdraw the surrounding army, which made them very impatient and wanted to clarify themselves, so now Tang Wenhua is this person who understands.
Tang Wenhua explained a few words to Song Fangliang, Song Fangliang ordered the withdrawal of troops, Tang Wenhua stood on the stage, raised the alliance leader order that the old butler hastily handed to him before, and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
Tang Wenhua opened his mouth and said: "The martial arts colleagues of all gangs and factions, at this moment, the Ukrainian League is in danger, I believe in everyone's determination to protect the family and defend the country, and the so-called meritorious service is rewarded." But I have to know who our heroes are, so I first ask the leaders of each gang and faction to report their own disciples, and give me a list of them, and then hand them over to the general for meritorious deeds. ”
As he spoke, several soldiers came to the people with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and the members of each gang were arranged into separate queues, and the leaders quickly wrote their names, and it didn't take long for all the counts to be completed, a total of 1,120 people. Tang Wenhua got the list, and he felt a lot more at ease.
The first time he dealt with this kind of thing, although he was clearly organized, he was still a little nervous, if something happened, the consequences would be very serious, including the previous encirclement and suppression of the two grandmasters, he was bottomless in his heart.
A team from each gang followed behind Tang Wenhua in an orderly manner, and finally left the General's Mansion and headed towards the east gate.
Turning around the East Street, I saw that Gan Chao was still struggling to strangle a group of prisoners in prison clothes, and there were two particularly fierce people circling around Gan Chao, with ruthless and insidious moves, which made this unparalleled fierce general extremely headache, and he couldn't beat them for a while.
Although Gan Chao has been in contact with the martial arts of the sect to some extent, he has the ability to kill the martial arts of the generals in the battle formation, and every move is decisive in killing, but he is not good at such a long-term struggle, mainly because his killing moves are not implemented and his physical strength is wasted.
If he knew that these two people were notorious first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, he might not be so impatient, but at the moment, the soldiers outside were in danger, and that was his battlefield.
Tang Wenhua held a sword to help, and called on a group of martial arts people to surround and suppress these red-eyed prisoners. Gan Chao said to Tang Wenhua gratefully: "Brother Tang Xian, I'll leave it to you here!"
"General Gan, don't worry, none of them can escape!" Tang Wenhua replied as he waved his sword.
"Thank you!" Gan Chao finished speaking, leading the troops towards the city gate.
The desperate prisoners did not fight the martial arts alliance led by Tang Wenhua, after all, there were several first-class masters here! But after a stick of incense, they were beaten back to their original form and escorted back to the prison again.
The people who were very enthusiastic but not simple had already rushed to the East City Gate, and the same people who had been entangled in the other City Gates had also arrived. And the four people who escaped from the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion have also arrived, and the east gate of the city is bleeding at this moment, and there is not much left of Liu Qingbao's 1,000 people.
Wudu's ink-colored long sword was like a black dragon rolling, supporting the siege of the grandmaster, but fortunately, Han Chengfeng and several people who arrived later joined the battle group and finally gained the upper hand.
And the battlefield of the grandmaster, others can't intervene at all, one was accidentally injured by the sword qi, that is, it was torn apart, Liu Qingbao had to lead people to retreat to the city gate alley, commanding the soldiers to guard the city gate, at this moment the outside of the ram bar has already beckoned the city gate, boom bang, the city gate is trembling, the brush brush is falling down the mud and sand, and the heavy city gate is being ravaged.
The six guards who were lined up by Mo Canyang to help Wudu had already retreated to the city and escorted Mo Canyang.
On the city, soldiers shuttled like flowing water, transporting everything that could kill the enemy, and they beckoned to the outside of the city with wooden rolling stones, arrows and hot oil.
At this moment, four people leaped up the city wall and began to slaughter the soldiers defending the city, and the group of people who organized themselves also went to the city in the name of chasing and killing the four people, but some of them actually slaughtered the soldiers, which shocked the people who were swept in, and finally someone saw that those people had a red ribbon on their left hand, but they did not.
The grandmaster opened the way, and the people who followed the strangled soldiers were all dressed as people from the Demon Sword Sect and Jianshanzhai, and the one who killed the most at this moment was Yang Hualin, who had just been rescued.
This change caught Mo Canyang off guard, and the twelve guards protected him to resist the group of people who besieged him, but although they formed an incomparably powerful battle formation, they could not resist the crushing of the power of the grandmaster, including Mo Di, they were all injured by the sword qi.
Mo Canyang's eyes were red, and he personally held a sword to resist.
The soldiers outside the city saw the changes in the city, and attacked the city even more frantically, and finally people climbed the city one after another.
Mo Canyang was stabbed in the left arm by Yao Qing's frightened sword, and Mo Enemy Qingquan Spear desperately picked away the life-killing sword that Hou Ying stabbed towards his father, and quickly pulled Mo Canyang back.
Wu Zide and Liu Shantong slashed down again with two heavy knives, taking away two of the twelve guards. Mo Canyang was very angry, his twelve guards had been in a hundred battles with him, and he had never had an accident, but now he had fallen two, and he was very distressed.
Two more swords came out together, continuing to harvest the two guards, and the four of them seemed to cooperate very well. The mighty true qi made it impossible for the soldiers to get close at all, if it weren't for the fact that the twelve guards were all super-first-class masters, and with the help of the formation, they would have been slaughtered a long time ago.
Seeing that the next round of attacks was about to fall, a sword and a palm struck at the head of the city with the power of Huanghuang, the wall battlements were torn apart, and several enemy troops who had just appeared and were about to jump up were instantly melted, turning into blood rain and falling under the city, and the four of them were repulsed, looking at Master Tianlu and Leng Yue who fell in front of Mo Canyang, they were very annoyed, but they didn't dare to entangle, and turned to kill the soldiers defending the city.
Leng Yue was furious and chased them with Tianlu to kill. Yang Hualin, who was killing on a killing ring, was pierced through his body with a palm and a sword, and fell into the city with wide eyes and disbelief, seeing that the old monk had moved the killing ring, the four people were also shocked.
Gan Chao led his troops to arrive, killed the gangs of Jianshanzhai and the Demon Sword Sect, joined forces with Mo Canyang, controlled the city, and under the bombardment of the roaring trebuchet, pushed the enemy troops who climbed up to the city again.
The section of the city wall guarded by Hejun is a little better, with the reinforcement generals of the four prefectures and eight counties, to control the scene, although there are casualties, but the problem is not big.
When Tang Wenhua led a group of martial arts people to arrive, the enemy in the city was only the grandmaster in the melee, and there was only the city gate, so he led people to cooperate with Liu Qingbao to guard the city gate.
The four people in the city have been driven out by Leng Yue and Monk Tianlu, and the four people who jumped off the city were unwilling, but helpless.
Subsequently, the two of them went to the city gate to support, the battle of the fourteen grandmasters was really spectacular, there were deep sword marks on the city wall, and the floor had long been overturned, and the power of the shocking grandmaster was very terrifying to cause destruction.
With the addition of Master Tianlu and Leng Yue, it finally became a one-sided situation, and the eight grandmaster staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhao State who came to make trouble were all killed, and for a time the wind surged, the dark clouds filled the sky, and the wind howled and took away the soul of the grandmaster, and the old monk Tianlu recited "Amitabha" compassionately, and followed several grandmasters to the city.
When Liu Qingbao led people to hang the corpse of the grandmaster on the city wall, Zhang Yunru, who was in charge of the Chinese army, was struck by lightning, losing eight grandmasters and 10,000 foot soldiers, and did not take the city of Wumeng, so he had to withdraw his troops only Mingjin.
This chaos ended in the victory of Wumeng City, and when everyone rejoiced, Mo Ting, who was rescued, found a problem, he couldn't find his second brother.
When he told his father and eldest brother, their hearts instantly cooled.
