Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 3 After the Rescue

"Lao Ke is dedicated to the Buddha, he has never hurt a living soul in his life, and today he has to maintain the right path, if it is not for Cao Shaoxia to save him, Lao Ke is not sorry to die, but if he can't protect the blood of the Han family, how can Lao Ge go to meet the Buddha in front of him!"

"On weekdays, I have been taught by the master several times, and I have eaten a lot of dishes in the master's temple, which is naturally what the younger generation should do. The younger teachers also often taught that they should worry about the country and love the people, and be benevolent and righteous. These thieves are mad and kill innocents indiscriminately, although the younger generation is not good at learning, but even if they lose their lives, they can't disgrace their teachers. “

After that, the three of them hugged up, greeted the man in black, and took a breather for the old abbot. Each of the three of them learned a set of five fowl swordsmanship, Cao Cao's "Tiger Jumping Stream" swordsmanship nine styles, Li Ru's "Long Ape Stealing the Sun" swordsmanship nine styles, and Cao Hong's "Crane Hitting the Sky" swordsmanship nine styles.

In terms of swordsmanship and actual combat experience, the three of them are far inferior to the man in black, but the man in black is almost consumed, Cao Cao's three new forces rushed to kill, and after a while, the man in black couldn't stand it, and the brothers were united and quickly killed the two assassins.

Li Ru and Cao Hong each resisted a man in black, and Cao Cao fought the leader of the man in black alone. This person was extremely annoyed, and he didn't know where to get out of these three people, and he disrupted the good things that were about to be done, after all, his martial arts were much better than ordinary black-clothed people, and under his anger, Cao Cao was forced to retreat again and again.

"The thief's sword is poisonous, young heroes be careful. Cao Shaoxia's five-bird swordsmanship, the foundation is also stubborn, the old man teaches you the 'Maha Prajna swordsmanship' three styles, which can help Shaoxia. “

"Thank you for your kindness, but if you don't have the permission of the master, how can you learn the martial arts of other sects privately?"

"Shaoxia doesn't have to shirk, these three-style swordsmanship was created by Lao Wei a few years ago, and Lao Wei just borrowed the hand of Shaoxia to eliminate demons. ”

Said, chanting in a deep voice, Cao Cao learned and practiced, although there are only three styles, but there is a need for the foundation of Buddhism as the root, in order to be able to understand it, fortunately, the Five Fowl Sword School and the White Horse Temple are neighbors, Cao Cao has the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the monks, although it is still very stiff, but he can barely learn. And Li Ru and Cao Hong were different, and they heard the old abbot preaching intermittently, but they didn't learn anything.

The three styles of "Maha Prajna" are full of the old abbot's century-old Buddhist attainments, even if Cao Cao makes him stiff, the power is not small, and the tide of the battle is turned around in an instant.

With a scream, another man in black was reimbursed. Another man in black saw his companions die one after another, gradually losing his fighting spirit, his legs involuntarily retreated, and he was afraid of the leader's punishment, and his heart was extremely conflicted.

The leader of the men in black looked up to the sky and laughed, and stabbed his companion who was about to flee to death with a sword from behind, and said with a smile: "If you have failed, what face do you have to return to your lord." "With a backhand sword, he died by self-determination.

The dust settled. Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Taozi, a eunuch who had disappeared for a long time, also came out. The Royal Guards also dared to come in and clean up the battlefield. Xiao Taozi shouted: "A bunch of little thieves dare to assassinate Your Majesty." Come on, cut each man in black three times to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Of course, these Royal Guards are also bold at this moment, and those who carry knives and guns all greet the corpses.

The old abbot asked the emperor to move the inner meditation room to rest temporarily, ordered two old monks to preside over the cleaning of the hall, thought about it, and invited Cao Cao to accompany him. Xiao Taozi stayed behind to take command of the Imperial Forest Army. Li Ru and Cao Hong also stayed in the main hall and waited for the senior brothers.

The three of them entered the old abbot's inner meditation room, sat down the guests, and served tea on the little novice.

"Let Your Majesty be frightened, the old man will not be able to protect it, and the sin will be great. ”

"If it weren't for the great efforts of the master and others, my life would have been lost. Since I ascended the throne, I haven't slept a peaceful night, the first emperor collapsed in his prime, I and the queen mother have long had doubts, but the Dong thief controls the court, and the ministers dare to be angry and dare not speak, if it weren't for the first emperor's bones are not cold, I will also tolerate him everywhere, otherwise maybe one day my life will be killed by the Dong thief. Master, the eunuchs and palace maids around me are all Dong thieves, I am not a person who is afraid of death, but I must not lose the inheritance of my ancestors in my hands! The only thing I can rely on is the master, please be merciful and teach me a way to live. “

"Amitabha. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, Dong Thief is fledgling, and the ministers are unconvinced, and with the current situation, they don't dare to disobey Your Majesty for the time being. The enemy is strong and I am weak, Your Majesty still needs to be patient for the time being, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"From the long-term consideration, the master also saw that in the blue sky and daylight, there were assassins who assassinated His Majesty in public, and the younger generations also heard that Dong Zhuo bought the 'Hongmen' as a killer organization, and some ministers and martial arts people who did not submit to him did not know how many people had died. Today's group of assassins, dressed in black during the day, speaking the Jizhou dialect, and engraved with the word 'Taiping' on the body of the sword, on the surface, all kinds of signs point to the Julu Yellow Turban Army, but so clumsy and self-revealed, nine times out of ten it is related to the 'Hongmen', what does the master think?"

"True is false, false is true, true is false, false is true. Whether it is the yellow scarf or the Hongmen, Cao Shaoxia is a little restless, and the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty in the future will also have a great deal to do with Shaoxia. The old man asked the young man: Have the young man ever heard of the 'Qinghong Sword'?"

"The younger generation has never heard of it. ”

"Did Ling Tang mention it?"

"I never mentioned that my father disdained to be with Dong Zhuo and his ilk, and since he resigned as a lieutenant, handed over his military power, and returned to his hometown in the countryside of Qiaoxian County. The younger generation stayed in Beijing to learn swords, and he hadn't seen his father for half a year. However, my father never said these three words to my juniors. “

"Oh, it turned out to be the son of Taiwei Cao's family, Ling Tang is a good official, but it's a pity that he can't stay in the capital to help me. Master, even if I and Dong Zhuo can wait, I am afraid that the people will not be able to wait, in the past few years, there have been earthquakes, floods and droughts, Dong Zhuo has controlled the government, knowing that the people are starving all over the wilderness, but he refuses to provide disaster relief, this account must be calculated on my head, and when the hearts of the people are lost, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to heaven again. “

"Amitabha. There will be a vision from heaven, and there will be demons. Your Majesty is reasonable, if Your Majesty thinks that my Han has reached the moment of crisis, is it possible that Your Majesty thinks... ?”

"Yes, that's what I've been thinking these days, this time I just want to wait for the time to enter the incense and ask the master for help, I don't know much about this matter, my father originally waited for me to be older and then told me, who ......knows! “

The old abbot took a sip of tea and talked about it, his face a little solemn.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate. Four hundred years ago, Emperor Gaozu slashed the White Snake Uprising, using a 'Heavenly Sword', which accompanied Gaozu to the south and the north, and witnessed the creation process of the Han Dynasty all the way, and was regarded as the foundation of the Han Dynasty and was respected as the 'Sword of the Son of Heaven'. “

Therefore, when the sword and the blade are pointed, it must be a battle, and it is inevitable that tens of millions of souls will be born after that, because the sword has killed countless people, and the anger is too heavy, I am afraid that the emperors of the descendants will not be able to suppress it, so they built a skull platform in Woniu Mountain, Julu County, Jizhou, and sealed the Yitian Sword. And sent to wait for Zhang Liang's family to guard it for generations. ”

For the foundation of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu ordered the world's famous craftsmen to cast five sharp swords, and divided them into five heroes who followed their own businesses, so that their families could be passed down from generation to generation. According to the five directions of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the sword of the Son of Heaven has been guarded for generations. ”

"The Zhang Liang family is in charge of the 'Seven Star Sword', the Cao Shen family is in charge of the 'Qinghong Sword', the Xiahou Ying family is in charge of the 'Overlord Sword', the Xiao He family is in charge of the 'Double-strand Sword', and the Zhou Bo family is in charge of the 'Purple Electric Sword'. Before Gaozu died, he personally made a piece of gold, sent his cronies to seal it in the calvary platform, and left an edict: If the survival of the Han Empire is in danger in the future, the skull platform can be opened, and the Yitian sword and the gold slab can be taken out to ensure that the country is safe. ”

"'The sword of the five elements is Qi, the sword of the Son of Heaven is out, the world is peaceful, and the ancestor is golden. As long as you find those five famous swords, go to Woniu Mountain in Jizhou together, open the Calvary Table, and take out the Sword of the Son of Heaven and the Golden Sword, Your Majesty can turn the tide and reorganize the rivers and mountains. “

"It's just that this Five Elements Sword is still in the hands of the five major families, so I don't know, Lao Qu just asked Cao Shaoxia if he had heard of the 'Qinghong Sword' is what it means, and it is said that this sword should be passed down from generation to generation in the Shaoxia clan. ”

When the old abbot said this, he suddenly covered his chest with his hands, his eyes widened, his throat gurgled, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a large mouthful of blood.

This sudden change surprised both the emperor and Cao Cao, and instinctively got up and stepped forward to help. Could it be that he suffered internal injuries from the fierce fight in front?

The old abbot shouted "The thief is leaving", and the void struck out with a palm, and the wooden door of the meditation room was immediately struck by the palm qi. At the same time, there was an 'oops', and one person was knocked to the ground, apparently eavesdropping outside the door of the Zen room.

But it was the little novice who was waiting by the old abbot's side.

Xiao Shami was injured by the palm qi, and he also vomited blood from his mouth, and reluctantly stood up, coughing and laughing: "Seeing that they still say that I am incompetent, I have this big secret today, and I will report it to Xiangguo immediately." If you fall for my 'rest plant', hurry up and retreat. Before the words were finished, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and it seemed that this slap was not light, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and staggered away.

Cao Cao wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the old abbot's gesture.

"It turns out that this guy is Dong Zhuo's undercover agent, such a thief, why didn't the master let the junior get rid of him? Fortunately, His Majesty didn't introduce this tea. ”

"It's okay, this kind of poison won't kill people, it's just a waste of people's martial arts, it seems that they don't want Lao Gao's life yet, it's just Your Majesty's ......" The old abbot was out of breath, and slapped his palm with all his might, Cao Cao only felt that the figure in front of him flashed, and a thin and low masked man stood in front of him.

"With ...... Taking His Majesty back to the palace, Dong Zhuo must have known something about this matter...... , It's better to simply let everyone know, Lao Wei estimates that before the sword of the Son of Heaven sees the light of day, he will not attack His Majesty. ”

The shadow man nodded, picked up the emperor, and floated out. Cao Cao only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the two of them were already a few feet away.

The old abbot gasped: "Please be sure to find the Five Elements Sword, Your Majesty Lao Dai please, you can't stay here for a long time, Shaoxia quickly leave the capital and go to Songshan to find it... "I didn't come up in one breath, and I fainted.

Cao Cao bent down and saluted the old abbot and gave him a promise in his heart.

Then at a very fast speed, he rushed to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, picked up the two junior disciples and left. Before leaving the palace gate, a group of royal forest soldiers suddenly came to Hula, led by a thin old man, a one-eyed dragon, the remaining right eye swept the hall, and shouted: "There is an assassin assassinating the emperor, quickly escort it, kill!!"

Behind him, the soldiers broke into the temple murderously, and killed people when they saw them, and the royal forest soldiers who came with them before hurriedly said 'their own people', but to no avail, they were all killed by the latecomers.

Cao Cao and the three did not dare to fight, knocked down several royal forest soldiers, took the road and fled, jumped on the roof, and galloped south.

Vaguely heard behind him, "The assassin has fled, chase him", "The fish that slipped through the net is Cao Cao, quickly catch him back." The crowd shouted in a chaotic manner, but no one actually came to chase them.

Afraid of exposing the old mansion where the Five Fowl Sword Sect was located, he fled south first, and when he was sure to throw off the pursuers, he turned northeast and returned, and after meeting with Cao Ren Miyue, he packed up some softness, locked the door of the house, and rushed all the way to the nearest east city gate, and it was almost noon, and he had already left the capital.
