Volume 1, Concubine Xiaoxiang Chapter 26, Remembering the Youth

Guo Bodhisattva jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Yanfa up. He had just collided with Dongfang Bai's true qi, causing the blood qi in his body to surge, and he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his chest felt like it was cracking. Guo Bodhisattva put his hand on his pulse and found that although he was seriously injured, his pulse was not chaotic, but surging, beating more tightly and forcefully than before.

Guo Bodhisattva was suddenly surprised, and after careful inspection, his face was ecstatic, and he exclaimed: "Yanfa, what do you think is different from before?"

Zhao Yanfa had a sharp pain in his chest, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, he smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle, it's just that my chest hurts a little more than before." ”

Guo Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this, you use the internal strength and mental method I taught you to run the true qi for a week to see what difference is there?"

According to what he said, Zhao Yanfa ran the true qi of the dantian in his body for a week, and suddenly felt that the pain in his chest weakened, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle, it seems that the true qi runs more smoothly than before, and the chest is not so painful." ”

Guo Bodhisattva was very excited, hugged him and laughed: "Yanfa, congratulations! Just now you were hit by the old man's true anger, and you accidentally opened up the second pulse of Rendu for you!"

The second pulse of Ren Du belongs to the "Qi Jing" in the eight veins of the Qi Jing, starting from the perineum and acupoints of the human body, from the front of the body along the center to the lower lip bearing pulp acupoint, which is the Ren vein, from the perineum and acupoint backwards along the spine upward, to the top of the head and then down to the gingival intersection point in the mouth. Ren vein is the main blood, supervising the vein and the main qi, and is the main vein of the human body's meridians. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, if the two pulses of Ren Du are connected, then the eight pulses are connected, and the eight pulses are connected, and the eight pulses are connected. It can improve physical fitness, strengthen muscles and bones, and promote circulation.

The greatest wish of a person who practices martial arts in this life is to be able to open up the second pulse of Ren Du, so that he will be reborn and his martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds. However, it is very difficult to get through the two veins of appointment and governor, unless you practice advanced internal skills or help from external forces. How many people have been so poor that they have not been able to achieve their wishes in their lifetime.

Just now, Zhao Yanfa's body collided with Dongfang Bai's true qi, and a stream of true qi rushed into his body. This true qi is out of the "Yuqing Taixuangong", how domineering. actually wandered in Zhao Yanfa's body on its own. Guo Bodhisattva found a clue when he called for him, so he asked him to run his internal strength for a week, forcing that true qi to wander between the two veins of Ren Du, and actually broke through the prohibition and opened it up, which is really a rare adventure in the ages!

Zhao Yanfa naturally knew what it meant to him to open up the second pulse of Ren Du, and he was extremely excited. Mingyue didn't know what it meant, but seeing that the eldest brother and Uncle Guo were smiling so happily, she also knew that it was a good thing, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart. turned around and walked in front of Dongfang Bai, stretched out his hand to push him, but remembered that Zhao Yanfa was hit by his true anger just now, and one hand stopped in mid-air, not daring to fall.

Zhao Yanfa ran that true qi between Ren Du's two veins for a few more weeks, and the pain in his chest was completely gone, and he couldn't help but sigh that Dongfang Bai's internal strength was profound, allowing him to have such an adventure.

He saw Mingyue squatting in front of Dongfang Bai, hanging one hand without falling, and immediately understood, and laughed: "Mingyue was frightened by the scene just now!

He stood up and walked towards Dongfang Bai step by step. At this moment, his pain was gone, his whole body was comfortable, and his spirit was shocking, not like the person in his hands. He raised his hand, patted it towards Dongfang Bai, and said, "Grandpa, it's time to wake up, you will catch a cold if you sleep on the ground." ”

When he said "It's time to wake up", his hand had already touched Dongfang Bai's body, and he felt a majestic and profound true qi sucking him in, and his chest was stuffy, as if he was being pressed against a thousand catties of boulders, and he couldn't breathe, causing the words "sleeping on the ground will catch a cold" that he said later was actually intermittent.

Guo Bodhisattva heard that there was something wrong with his voice, and hurriedly asked, "Yanfa, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yanfa spit out in his mouth with difficulty: "It seems that there is something, power, suck me!" Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Bai suddenly sat up, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, stretched out his second finger with his right hand, and pressed it against his palm, and smiled: "Boy, take my 'Calling Heaven and Snatching Earth'!"

Zhao Yanfa suddenly felt a warmth in his palm, and the vigorous true qi surged into his body along Dongfang Bai's hand, surging and endless. Zhao Yanfa shouted: "Grandpa, what are you going to do here?"

Dongfang white hair fluttered, his face was red, a stream of white gas came out of his head, his eyes were like electricity, his expression was solemn, but he was no longer that stupid: "Boy, this is 'Yuqing Taixuangong', it is a Taoist mastery, divided into three, one can make rapid progress, two can run rampant in the world, and if you get them all, you can be invincible in the world, how much do you want?"

The three of them were all shocked when they saw that he was speaking fluently and his voice was calm. Mingyue exclaimed even more: "Grandpa, you're not crazy!"

Dongfang Bai didn't answer, just looked at Zhao Yanfa quietly, smiling, as if waiting for his answer. Zhao Yanfa only felt that the true qi was surging wildly, scattered in his eight veins, among the hundreds of limbs, and the meridians of his whole body were extremely smooth. I also felt that the true qi in Dongfang Bai's body was inexhaustible, and I didn't feel shocked: this "Yuqing Taixuangong" is really powerful!

He knew that Dongfang Bai wanted to pass on his divine skills, so he used the true qi of "Yuqing Taixuangong" to run between the two veins of Ren Du for a few weeks, wandering among the limbs and hundreds of remains, and finally converged into the dantian. True qi continued to pour from the old man's fingertips, pouring into the dantian, the heat was unbearable, and the belly was swollen like Sun Xiaoxing.

He thought in his heart that the more such magical skills the better, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, but he thought of eight words: "When the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full and the moon is lost." Although the magic is powerful, but it is good to have enough for yourself, if you are greedy for it, the dantian will not be able to bear it, and the success will fall short.

He raised his head, looked at Dongfang Bai, calmed down, and replied leisurely: "Thank you seniors for passing on your skills, Yanfa doesn't dare to be greedy, just one copy!"

"Okay!" Dongfang Bai shouted, withdrew his fingers, and laughed. The laughter shook the earth and was exceptionally loud. Zhao Yanfa swam his true qi among the hundreds of limbs again, only to feel refreshed and in a particularly comfortable mood. Suddenly looked up at the big tree in front of him, and his heart was itching. It is more than three feet away from the big tree, and suddenly swings out a palm, the palm wind strikes, and with a click, the big tree has broken from the middle, and the fracture is smooth and smooth, like a knife and an axe!

As soon as he made a move, Guo Bodhisattva and Mingyue were shocked and their jaws dropped, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Zhao Yanfa laughed happily when he saw that he had such a powerful shot. Dongfang Bai looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "Boy, you are the first person who is not greedy for my divine skills. One third of this magic skill, you have already entered the ranks of martial arts masters, I hope you can keep your heart, use this magic to do good things for the rivers and lakes, and never fall into the devil's way. You must know that since I can pass on your divine skills, I can also take back them!"

Zhao Yanfa's blood gushed when he heard it, and he was full of pride, and he fell to the ground with a thud, knocked his head three times, and said: "The words of the predecessors, Yanfa is engraved in his heart, and he has not asked the seniors for their names?"

Before the words fell, Dongfang Bai laughed, suddenly jumped and disappeared into the vast night. Mingyue shouted: "Old man, don't go!" but his figure had disappeared. Although he was gone, his laughter could still be heard echoing in the night sky!

Mingyue had tears in her eyes, looked straight in the direction he was leaving, stomped her feet angrily, jumped on the horse's back, and drove the horse to chase in the direction of Dongfang Bai's departure.

"Mingyue, where are you going?" Guo Bodhisattva shouted, but Mingyue turned a deaf ear, and the fast horse gradually disappeared into the vast night and disappeared in front of his eyes. Zhao Yanfa smiled slightly: "Mingyue, this kid is kind-hearted, probably because she has a relationship with the old-timers these days, don't worry about him, uncle doesn't have to care about her, she will naturally go back in a few days." ”

Under the moonlight, the uncle and nephew sat and stood, looking at each other without saying a word.

After a short rest, the two mounted their horses and headed in the direction of Kaifeng. After traveling all night and morning, he finally arrived at Kaifeng Wumeng at noon. Wumeng is rebuilt from the road house, magnificent, very magnificent. Guo Bodhisattva saw that the buildings in the house were built according to the arrangement of the nine palace gossip, which was extremely elegant, and his admiration for Luxi Bridge deepened a little in his heart.

He has been famous for Luxi Bridge for a long time, and he knows that he often subsidizes food and grass for the Jianghu people and rebels. was led by Zhao Yanfa to the ancestral hall and put a stick of incense under the spiritual seat of Luxi Bridge. Suddenly, I saw the spiritual seat of Zhao Chouwei standing next to the spiritual seat of Luxi Bridge, and the picture of the uprising with him in Xizhou in the past appeared in front of me. Guo Bodhisattva's eyes were moist, and he thought: Life is in a hurry for decades, and after death, it will turn into a pile of dry bones, bury them in the ground, and reincarnate. Therefore, it is necessary to make brilliant things in this limited time, and even if you die, you will be famous for eternity!

Zhao Yanfa led him to the inner hall again, and at this moment, Qingfeng, Beizhi, Shocking Magpie, Midnight, and Mingcicada all greeted him inside. After a while of greetings, Bei Zhi suddenly asked, "Why didn't Sister Mingyue come back?"

Beizhi and Mingyue are one year apart, and they were adopted by Luxiqiao only three days apart. The two of them have been together the longest and closest. Beizhi also has a love for Mingyue, so when everyone else greeted Guo Bodhisattva, he noticed that Mingyue did not come back.

Zhao Yanfa smiled: "Don't have feelings for Mingyue, but Mingyue shines on the ditch." Causing everyone to laugh, Bei Zhi's face turned red, and said, "I'm just worried about Sister Mingyue! Big brother, where did she go to the third sister?"

Zhao Yanfa smiled slightly, and said that Dongfang Bai left after giving him the gong last night, and Mingyue was worried about his safety and chased after him on horseback. Bei Zhi shouted: "Sister Mingyue is a woman, what if you meet a bad person on the road?" Big brother, I ask you to allow me to go and find Sister Mingyue back, in case he encounters danger on the road, it will be too late to regret it!"

Zhao Yanfa knew that Bie Zhi had affection for Mingyue, and the relationship between the two had gone beyond the scope of family affection, so he waved his hand to signal him to go. Bei Zhi was overjoyed, bowed to Guo Bodhisattva and Zhao Yanfa, turned around and ran out of the inner hall.

After a while, all the disciples of the Martial Alliance came to meet Guo Bodhisattva. In the crowd, there was no figure of Liu Qianqian, Luxiqiao's wife. It turned out that after Luxiqiao died in Jinan Mansion, Zhao Yanfa led the brothers of the "Central Plains Alliance" back to Lufu. When Liu Qianqian heard the news that Luxiqiao was dead, he was furious and fainted on the ground.

Although she is a dusty woman, she and Zhao Yanfa went to Yunyu together when they left at Luxi Bridge. But a wisp of green silk in her heart has always been tied to Luxiqiao, and she will kill herself after waking up. Later, Zhao Yanfa and the six people of "Xijiangyue" persuaded each other to give up the idea of seeking death, but a heart also died, leaving the road mansion to Zhao Yanfa and them, and he took a few maidservants to find a Taoist temple and became a nun.

Everyone greeted Guo Bodhisattva one by one, and after the event, the meal was already on the table. Zhao Yanfa invited Guo Bodhisattva to sit in the first place, and he sat next to him, and Qingfeng, Surprise Magpie, Midnight, and Cicada sat in four places. Zhao Yanfa personally poured a glass of wine for Guo Bodhisattva, Guo Bodhisattva looked at the light yellow color of the wine, knowing that it was the unique sorghum wine of Xizhou, and couldn't help but think of the two of them drinking this kind of wine when they met Zhao Chouwu in the Xizhou tavern eight years ago.

As soon as he thought of Zhao Chouwei, Guo Bodhisattva's eyes moistened again, and he held the wine glass, but it was hanging in the air, motionless. Zhao Yanfa noticed that something was wrong with him and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Guo Bodhisattva sighed and replied leisurely: "I suddenly remembered that when I met your stepfather in Xizhou eight years ago, I drank this kind of wine in a tavern. At that time, he was chased and killed by the Five Tigers of Xishan and was seriously injured, and I gave him medicine for treatment. When he recovered, I invited him for a drink. Your father-in-law drank very well, and he drank a few big bowls in a row before he was a little drunk, and scolded the court for being mediocre and incompetent, which attracted everyone's attention. ”

The five of them listened to his previous story, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and listened quietly. The cicada loves to listen to stories, and with his hands on his cheeks, he gradually becomes fascinated.

Guo Bodhisattva continued: "When you were having your best drinking, four of the five tigers of the West Mountain came to the door and wanted to kill your father-in-law. I worked together with your father-in-law to kill the Four Tigers, and he didn't care about my identity as a demon and worshipped me as brothers. He felt that my name was Bodhisattva, and it was very uncomfortable to be the eldest brother of the Bodhisattva, so I said that if he called himself Maitreya Buddha, he would be able to suppress the Bodhisattva. This is also the origin of our righteous army being called the Maitreya Army, which is not the same thing as the 'Maitreya Ming King' mentioned by the White Lotus Sect today. ”

Back then, Zhao Chouwei and Guo Bodhisattva's "Maitreya Army Uprising" was so powerful, Qingfeng and their older people still have memories, such as magpies, midnight, and cicadas, although they were young and didn't remember it at the time, but they also heard others mention it later. Today, I learned that Zhao Chouwei's "Maitreya Buddha Reincarnation" and "Maitreya Army" were started by Guo Bodhisattva, and they have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect today, and they all suddenly realized.

Zhao Yanfa had also heard Zhao Chouwu mention this time, and now he heard Guo Bodhisattva talk about it, and couldn't help but smile: "If it weren't for the fact that my uncle asked my father to proclaim himself the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, how could the righteous army grow up in an instant at that time." ”

Guo Bodhisattva continued: "After killing the Four Tigers, suddenly a wave of officers and soldiers came to kill. It turned out that the Four Tigers and the former Prime Minister Boyan used a plan to kill your father-in-law. At that time, the officers and soldiers shot arrows into the tavern, and the guests in the tavern were all in a mess. Your father-in-law and I went to kill the officers and soldiers. Later, the guests in the tavern were also killed, and we killed all the officers and soldiers of that wave, and established the Maitreya Army on the spot. And so there were those things that followed. ”

It has been eight years since that incident, but Guo Bodhisattva remembers it vividly, as if it were yesterday. He suddenly remembered Zhao Chouwei again, burst into tears, and asked, "Yanfa, your father-in-law's tomb is still in his hometown in Xizhou, right?"

Zhao Yanfa nodded and said, "A few days ago, I also sent Qingfeng to repair it and made a marble tombstone. The stepfather was there guarding his homeland, and everything was what he wanted and wanted. ”

Guo Bodhisattva sighed: "What your father-in-law wants is to expel the Tartars back to the grassland, so that the Han people can regain control of my great rivers and mountains." But now his wish has not been fulfilled!"

Zhao Yanfa also sighed, bowed his head and said nothing. Seeing that everyone was silent, Qingfeng said, "Uncle and eldest brother don't have to be too sad. For example, the rebel army is everywhere today, Anhui has Liu Futong's Red Turban Army, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng, Shandong has Qin Shuyuan's Jianghu people, Sichuan has Zhou Ziwang, Hubei has Xu Shouhui, and Henan has our Wumeng. The Yuan Court is unpopular with the people, the world is full of complaints, we have so many rebels here, overthrowing the Yuan Court is just around the corner!"

Although Guo Bodhisattva knew all these things, but when he said it from Qingfeng's mouth at this moment, his chest suddenly became arrogant, and he laughed: "Qingfeng's virtuous nephew is right, but I am too sad." Come, I'll punish myself with a drink. ”

He took his glass and drank it down, and the others joined him. The cicada is the youngest and doesn't drink much, so I have to try it today. When I drank it, I choked and coughed, and my throat hurt hotly. The crowd laughed.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Bodhisattva was a little drunk, so he said: "Yanfa, since the defeat of Maitreya's army and your father-in-law died on the battlefield, I haven't gone to worship him again, can you go with me tomorrow to worship him?"

"Okay!" Zhao Yanfa said: "Tomorrow I will go with my uncle, as well as Qingfeng, Surprise Magpie, Midnight, and Cicadas, you will all go with me and my uncle." ”

The four of them agreed one after another, Qingfeng went to prepare the horses and clothes to be used tomorrow, and Zhao Yanfa also sent Guo Bodhisattva back to the room to rest. The others also dispersed.

At the time of the third watch, the bright moon gradually sank, but a side room in the Kaifeng Chengzhou Mansion was still brightly lit. There were only a few chairs and two tables in the room, and the space was not large, but there were six or seven people crammed into it. A few people had chairs to sit on, and the rest stood. They were either dressed in light civilian clothes or heavy armor, and their expressions were serious, as if they were talking about something.

The middle-aged man in black who sat on the chair looked like their leader, and everyone looked at him. The man sighed: "At that time, when Zhao Yanfa's Martial Arts League was just established, you still said that he was not a threat and would not bring people to encircle and suppress. But let them develop, in just a few months, they have already conquered four or five prefectures in Henan one after another, and if this continues, it will be a matter of time before we Kaifeng is conquered. When the time comes, the prime minister will blame him, and I will see which of you will bear this sin!"

The others were reprimanded by the middle-aged man, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to gasp. The middle-aged man was even more angry, slapped the table, and scolded: "When it's okay, they shout five and drink six one by one, and they are very angry, and when something happens, they will become a turtle with a shrunken head!" He glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at a general wearing heavy armor, and said, "General Wang, what do you say?"

General Wang was startled, he didn't know what to do, he lowered his head and couldn't say one, two, three. The middle-aged man took a sip of water from the teacup, and finally couldn't get angry, spit out at the general Wang, and threw the teacup on the table, shattering it into pieces.

The crowd trembled with fear. Bow your head and be silent.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside the door: "Look at your group of people, the dignified Kaifeng Mansion Yin Lu Xun, and the Kaifeng guard Wang Tao, all of whom are people who cover the sky with one hand in Kaifeng, and they will be sad for a little Zhao Yanfa, what a bunch of waste!"

With the sound came a tall figure falling at the door, everyone was shocked, and the Kaifeng guard Wang Tao pulled out the big knife on his waist with a bang, pushed open the door and slashed towards the figure. When the figure saw the big knife coming, he didn't hurry, and pointed at the blade with his backhand.

The blade of the knife shook violently, Wang Tao suddenly felt a numbness in his palm, the long knife came out of his hand, and the man then made a palm, hitting the heart guard on his chest, and it shattered, Wang Tao screamed miserably, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked. Although Wang Tao is a little incompetent, he is also from the army, and his martial arts are also good. But in the face of this person, he was completely powerless to parry, and they all gasped. Wang Tao also covered his chest, his brows furrowed. The heart shield on his chest was made of steel, and he couldn't even hurt him with a giant hammer and axe on weekdays, but he was shattered by this person's palm, and it also hurt his heart and lungs, and he was really a powerful person.

Everyone looked at the mysterious man, and saw him dressed in green clothes, dancing in the wind, fluttering like a fairy. But he was wearing a bronze mask on his face, which was the eyes of an ancient evil beast, with his mouth wide open, hideous and terrifying, as if he wanted to swallow all the things in the world into his golden belly.

The man laughed: "Just my little bit of Martial Arts General Wang can't resist it." Do you know that Zhao Yanfa has had an adventure, his martial arts have progressed rapidly, and he seems to have entered the ranks of peerless masters, what strength do you have to marry him!"

The middle-aged man, that is, Yin Lu Xun of Kaifeng Mansion, frowned, stood up, and asked: "Your Excellency came to visit late at night, wearing a mask, but you don't know whether you are an enemy or a friend, please show your true face." ”

The man snorted coldly: "Just because you pustules are not worthy of letting Uncle Ben take off his mask, I came here late at night to tell you something." ”

Lu Xun frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"You are a pustule, but you know how to be polite. The man sneered and said, "I arranged for an undercover agent in the Wumeng to learn that tomorrow Zhao Yanfa and they will go to Xizhou to worship his father-in-law Zhao Chou, and there is also a Guo Bodhisattva who has revolted with Zhao Chouwei on this trip!"

Everyone was shocked, Zhao Yanfa returned it, and even the anti-thief Guo Bodhisattva, who had been wanted by the imperial court for many years, also appeared. Lu Xun showed a hint of joy on his face, bowed his hand, and said, "Thank you for telling us, but I don't know why the hero wants to help us?"

The man snorted coldly and said, "How can I help you pus-filled waste, I just can't get used to Zhao Yanfa." Lord Lu, if you catch Zhao Yanfa and Guo Bodhisattva tomorrow, you will be promoted to become rich and ascend to the sky in one step, and when the time comes, you will come to you to ask for something, and please Lord Lu Don't be stingy!"

Before Lu Xun could answer, his body had already risen vertically, jumped onto the roof, and the sound was still echoing in everyone's ears, but the figure had disappeared into the night.

The bright moon turned blood red!
