Zhu Xiangru bowed slightly, and said: "The younger generation is the personal disciple of Xun Yuhe, the head of Wudang today. Xuan Jizi said: "Xun Yuhe? This name is very unfamiliar. I've heard about Yushu Daoist for a long time, why didn't he have Ren in charge?"

Zhu Xiangru's face was heavy, and he said, "My master has been immortal for many years. Xuan Jizi nodded slowly, and said: "I have only heard of the name of Yushu Daoist, I have never met, I heard that his Tai Chi swordsmanship has been practiced to seventy or eighty percent of the fire, alas, it is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to meet and learn, a pity, a pity." He sighed again and again. He also said: "What is the origin of the person who fights with me, his swordsmanship is exquisite, he is not below you, and he is also in the same vein as Wudang." Zhu Xiangru then told Tang Wenhe's origin and martial arts to the people of Xuanji Palace.

Xuanjizi snorted coldly after hearing this, and said: "Born in a famous family, he has learned a good skill, but he doesn't cherish it well, and does more good things for the people, but he is keen on fame and fortune, helping to abuse, doing some things that hurt heaven and reason, and what is even more hateful is that he also did Wu Sangui's dog's legs, this time he led people to kill and kill many of my disciples, this Liangzi is settled, next time I meet him, I must take his life and avenge this revenge." ”

Zhu Xiangru pointed at Xuangui and said: "Just now the senior mentioned my master Yushu Daoist, this is my master's granddaughter Ouyang Xuangui, who is the only root and seedling of the Ouyang family. Xuan Jizi looked at Xuan Gui and said, "Oh, this girl is the descendant of the Yushu Daoist, your grandfather's martial arts were famous in the rivers and lakes, and everyone admired him." This is also secondary, I heard that he is an old minister of the former Ming Dynasty, and he is actively in favor of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Xuan Gui bowed and said: "The predecessor is a master of the Tao, if my grandfather is alive, I will be glad to hear your words." ”

Zhu Xiangru heard Xuan Jizi mention the words "anti-Qing Dynasty and restoration of Ming", his heart moved, and he thought to himself that this old man was implicitly thinking, and he would give him a try. Immediately said: "The predecessors mentioned 'anti-Qing and Ming restoration', which is a violation of the Qing court's royal law, and it is better to mention it less in the future, otherwise it will cause trouble." Xuan Jizi sneered: "Wang Fa, the Tartars occupy my Han people's country and kill my Han people, Wang Fa belongs to his family, what does it have to do with me?" Zhu Xiangru heard the play, and then said: "The predecessors are independent of the world, are they also dissatisfied with the Tartars?" Xuan Jizi stood up, walked to the east side of the cabinet, stretched out his hand on the cabinet and lifted it twice, only to hear the sound of "squeak", the cabinet slowly turned open, only to see a portrait hanging behind the cabinet, the portrait of the person with a slightly chubby face, yellow robe and jade belt, is a young man in his twenties.

Everyone didn't know who the portrait was, Wan Shanhao and Lu Shanying and others had followed the master for decades, and they often saw this cabinet, but they never knew that this cabinet still contained a mechanism, and there was such a portrait behind the mechanism, so they were suspicious, but they didn't dare to ask.

Zhu Xiangru was about to inquire, but saw Xuan Jizi respectfully bowing to the person with the portrait three times. Then he turned around and asked Zhu Xiangru and said, "Do you know who this portrait is?" Zhu Xiangru shook his head.

Xuan Jizi said: "Of course you don't know, this is Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the former Ming Dynasty. Everyone was taken aback, Zhu Xiangru took a half step forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior, you said that the person with this portrait is the Emperor of the Tomorrow Emperor before yesterday?" ”

Zhu Xiangru asked again: "Then why did the predecessors hang the portrait of the Emperor of the Apocalypse here to worship?" Xuan Jizi didn't answer, but asked Zhu Xiangru: "You are also surnamed Zhu, aren't you?" Zhu Xiangru said: "Yes, my surname is indeed Zhu." Xuanjizi said: "Okay, since the surname is Zhu, it should be a Han person." Since you are a Han Chinese, you have something to do with the Zhu family of the former Ming Dynasty anyway, you are not only an enemy of Wu Sangui and Tang Wenhe, but also a Wudang master, I believe you will not be a spy. Xuan Gui, Wei Xinglong, and Qin Sangruo couldn't help but tell Zhu Xiangru's true identity, Zhu Xiangru waved his hand gently, and the three of them understood, so they had to shut up.

Zhu Xiangru said to Xuan Jizi: "Please let the seniors put one hundred and twenty hearts, and the juniors will definitely not be spies." Xuanjizi said: "My real name is Wang Xuanji, and I was a guard who served by the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, and the brothers of Wan Shihao were even more dumbfounded, the origin and name of the master has always been mysterious, and no one dared to probe lightly.

Xuan Jizi said again: "I was only seventeen years old back then, which is the same age as the first emperor. Although we are kings and ministers, the first emperor treated me like family. I am grateful for the kindness of the first emperor and swear allegiance to the death. Unexpectedly, the first emperor collapsed early, and I was disheartened, so I resigned from my position as a guard and wandered the world. I had no relatives and no reason, so I went to Tiannan alone and lived in seclusion here. Because I have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and then met a famous teacher, I got his guidance, martial arts have made great progress, and after a long time, I gave birth to the idea of an original faction, and then after several twists and turns, I finally established the Xuanji Palace in this Yunfeng Mountain, and established the Western Yunnan Sword School. I took the last two words of the name as my own number, and then named the main hall Xuanji Palace, after decades of hard work and management, to this day, there is finally a small success. This is the origin of the Western Yunnan Sword School. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Later, Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and the country was gone, and it was occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I remembered the great kindness of the Ming family to me, and once wanted to go out to the mountains to help, but what can I do with the strength of hundreds of people? Xuan Gui interjected: "In this case, the Lancang 'Restoration Society' Wei seniors have not been invited to participate in the victory several times, why did you refuse to go thousands of miles away, seniors?"

Xuan Jizi shook his head and said, "Although Wei Xinglong is ambitious, his strategy is insufficient. The fledgling wings are not full, and the climate is not successful, so it blatantly waives the banner of 'restoring vision', which is so eye-catching, and it has not become the target of the Qing court. It's not that I don't want to do this feat, but I think it's too risky, and maybe I'll be destroyed before I can act. Zhu Xiangru nodded secretly, thinking: "Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, and the old man Xuanji is far-sighted, and he sees the problem deeply and thoroughly, and he does have something extraordinary." ”

Xuan Jizi said: "I heard that there was a descendant in the Ming room, who is still alive, to drive the Tartars out of the pass, there must be a core person as a force, otherwise who should do the emperor after the country is recaptured, I am afraid that the major event is undecided, and their own people will fight for the head and blood, and the world will be in chaos at that time, and the people will suffer in the end." ”

The crowd nodded their heads. Qin Sangruo clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good." Senior, aren't you looking for a descendant of the Ming family, that person is far away in the sky, close in front of you, isn't it Brother Zhu?"

Xuan Jizi was startled, stared at Zhu Xiangru for a moment, and asked, "Is this true?" Zhu Xiangru nodded and said: "How dare you deceive each other for such an important matter." ”

Wei Chongshan said: "Don't hide it from the seniors, this time the young master went to Yunnan from Wuxia to Yunnan, it was to gather the old department of the Ming family, contact people with lofty ideals, and prepare to raise the flag to expel the Tartars from the Central Plains, my father was originally the subordinate of the third prince of the young master's father, and now that we have made a plan, why don't the seniors join in and jointly assist the young master?"

Xuanjizi pondered for a moment and said: "It turns out that Wei Xinglong is the courtier of the third prince, but this old man doesn't know, since the matter of righteousness has become a prairie fire, how can the old man and the disciples of the Western Yunnan Sword Sect be left behind?"

Zhu Xiangru was overjoyed and said: "So the seniors agreed." Xuan Jizi rolled his eyes and said, "You are the young master, and you are a good person, don't I agree?"

Zhu Xiangru led everyone to worship the portrait of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xuan Jizi pushed the cabinet back to its original position, and sat down again, Zhu Xiangru said: "The predecessors opened the sect, which is admirable, I don't know how many disciples there are now?" Xuan Jizi said: "I started to accept disciples more than thirty years ago, and for decades, there are always hundreds of disciples and grandchildren in western Yunnan!" Wan Shanhao said: "Back to Master, now there are five hundred and thirty-eight disciples under the disciples. Zhu Xiangru said: "The Sword Sect is so prosperous, and when united, it is a huge force, which is gratifying." Now led by the beggar gang, to the rivers and lakes of all factions to send a hero post, planned on the first day of October in the eastern Yunnan shrine peak to hold a full of heroes, then invite the seniors to lead people to participate. So he told Xuan Jizi the details of the preparation.

Xuan Jizi said: "At that time, the heroes of the world will gather together, and it will be even more lively, I have not participated in this kind of gathering for a long, long time, and I must be present to see and see." ”

Zhu Xiang did this and successfully persuaded the Western Yunnan Sword Sect, although it was reasonable, but it was a big windfall, so he was extremely happy. During the banquet, he talked about a swordsmanship with Xuanjizi, Xuanjizi as the leader of a faction, has many unique understandings of swordsmanship, Zhu Xiangru also practiced Taiji swordsmanship, the two of them are old and young, they talk very happily, and they have benefited each other a lot.
