Chapter Forty-Eight: Peaks and Loops

Gao Jie was overjoyed when he saw the person coming, because the big man was Yu Hongzhi.

At the beginning of Yongfeng Mountain, Gao Jie and Yu Hongzhi had a relationship, he was Xu Hongru's sworn brother, and he was also one of the protectors of the Wenxiang Sect. Because of his somewhat silly nature and mediocre martial arts qualifications, Wang Sen, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect back then, taught him a simple and quite difficult martial art in the White Lotus Sect, the Hongyang Stick Method.

To put it simply, there are only six moves in the "Hongyang Stick Method", which are easy to learn, but it is difficult to say that these six moves must be learned and practiced thousands of times, and each move must be practiced for three years and repeated hundreds of thousands of times before it can be considered a great success, and then the following move can be practiced.

Only an honest person like Yu Hongzhi can practice meticulously according to the law, and if Gao Jie and the three of them were replaced, they would have given up because they were boring.

Yu Hongzhi began to practice the "Hongyang Stick Method" at the age of fifteen, and it was not until he was thirty-three years old that he completed the six moves, which shows how boring and difficult the practice of this stick method is.

After Yu Hongzhi completed his studies, he was almost invincible in the Wenxiang Sect, known as the "stick idiot", and later served as Wang Sen's guard. After Wang Sen's death, he followed Xu Hongru and devoted himself to reorganizing the White Lotus Holy Sect.

This time, Xu Hongru was instructed by Wang Haoxian, the new leader of the Wenxiang Sect, to lead Yu Hongzhi in Jingzhou (now Jing County, Hebei) and Zhang Shipei in Caozhou (now Cao County, Shandong) to plot an uprising, and agreed to raise troops in Juye, Shandong in the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, due to the leakage of the plan, it was launched in advance.

Local farmers "mostly carry women and children, drive with oxen, wrap grain and rice, and rush to it." Xu Hongru followed Wang Haoxian's secret order of "not exposing the fragrance sect", proclaimed himself Emperor Zhongxing Fulie, and changed the year name to the first year of Mahayana Xingsheng. The rebel army soon conquered Yuncheng, Zou County, Teng County, and Yi County, "reaching tens of thousands" and repeatedly defeating the official army. At that time, Yu Hongzhi responded with troops in Wuyi, Zaoqiang, Hengshui and other places in Hebei. Liu Yongming gathered 20,000 people, and soon joined Xu Hongru's team, and the uprising was greatly invigorated. They planned to "cut grain transportation in the south to Xuhuai, Chen, Ying, Qi, and Huang in the south, and reach Shenjing in the north, and be the emperor and king."

It's just that Xu Hongru had the great cause of reviving the White Lotus Sect in his heart, and secretly ordered his sworn brother Yu Hongzhi to sneak back to Mizhiyongfeng Mountain in Shaanxi, so that he and his sister Jingkong Shitai could protect the young sect leader Gao Jie and fulfill the wish of Master Wang Sen and himself.

Yu Hongzhi arrived at Yongfeng Mountain only before yesterday, and then lived in seclusion in Li Jiqian's village with several nuns of the Temple of Our Lady such as Master Jingkong. Seeing that the Li family was in trouble today, because he did not want to expose Gao Jie's identity and the deeds of everyone, and delayed the revival plan, the Pure Sky Master has been strictly ordering everyone not to help.

However, soon Gao Jie was involved in it, and he was in danger, and the Clearance Master was too helpless, so he had to send Wang Jiayin first and let him retreat;

When Wang Jiayin was seventeen or eighteen years old, he served as a border soldier and guarded the frontier, because the corruption of the Ming Dynasty government army was rampant, and the officials deducted military salaries at all levels.

Who knew that because he had been in the army before, he had always participated in the begging activities of the border soldiers, and he was hated by the hundreds of households leading the soldiers.

On the side of the Xiaoli River, Wang Jiayin, who was tired and hungry, was finally caught up by the hundred households and others, and when he was closing his eyes and waiting for death, it happened that the Pure Sky Master was passing by, and a few stones knocked down those officers and soldiers and rescued them.

Later, under the guidance of the Pure Space Master, Wang Jiayin secretly joined the White Lotus Sect and operated in his hometown of Fugu County, Shaanxi.

Seeing that he was bold and a martial arts wizard, the Pure Sky Master spent half a month teaching a secret technique of the White Lotus Sect - Qinglong Power.

Wang Jiayin's qualifications are extraordinary, and in just a few years, he cultivated the "Green Dragon Power" to the realm of Dacheng, and within 20 years, he became one of the top masters in the martial arts, and established the first "Yi Gang" in the north.

After teaching Wang Jiayin's martial arts, the master of the net space returned to Yongfeng Mountain without saying goodbye, the two have not seen each other for nearly 20 years, just now Wang Jiayin suddenly heard the sound of the clear space, and mentioned the rescue of Xiaoli River, he was sure that it was the arrival of the benefactor, so he immediately took the order and retreated.

Uncle Snake looked at the cloth-clothed man in front of him blocking his way, and frowned slightly: "Who are you, and who is your son-in-law?"

Yu Hongzhi said angrily: "I am me, my son-in-law is my son-in-law!"

Uncle Snake was choked, his heart was unhappy, and he said coldly: "My Uncle Snake will not kill unknown people under the sword, report the name!"

Yu Hongzhi replied seriously: "I want me to sign up, but I won't report! If you don't do it, just retreat!"

Uncle Snake almost vomited blood when he heard this, the murderous intent loomed in his eyes, and the snake-shaped soft sword suddenly burst into green light, like a poisonous snake coming to life, squirming tactfully, and was about to go up with the sword to teach this guy who didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Who knew that Yu Hongzhi's head tilted, and he said: "What is your name, I won't kill the unknown under Hongzhi's stick!"

Uncle Snake laughed angrily, no longer wordy, his body suddenly spun in place, turning faster and faster, and the energy around his body spread out in a spiral, like a tornado blowing in the field.

Yu Hongzhi's eyes brightened, and he said humbly: "Good skills, don't you faint when you turn so fast?"

Uncle Snake almost got angry when he heard this, and shouted, the sword moved with him, and the human sword was one, like a drill, and stabbed towards Yu Hongzhi, and the surrounding air was brought by him, making a terrifying "woo" sound.

Yu Hongzhi looks stupid, but his martial arts are really strong, he followed Wan Sen and Xu Hongru through countless battles of life and death, and when he saw Uncle Snake's such a strange and ruthless move, he shouted loudly in the sky, the sound shook in the air, and the iron rod in his hand straightened forward, facing the spinning Uncle Snake and went up.

The masters present were not optimistic about the somewhat naïve Yu Hongzhi at all, but after he took out the stick, his face was condensed, and he gasped, because they faintly heard that the thick iron rod in Yu Hongzhi's hand actually made a buzzing sound.

You must know that the lighter the weapon, such as Uncle Snake's soft sword, after being infused with deep internal force, the easier it is to get out of the sword, the sword body trembles, and makes a whistling sound, and like the bulky and thick iron rod in Yu Hongzhi's hand, if you want to make a sound of luck, I really can't imagine how strong and strong the internal strength is needed.

Uncle Snake is a top master, seeing that Yu Hongzhi's internal strength is strong, the soft sword does not dare to touch the iron rod, and his body is suddenly twisted like a spirit snake, and he instantly bypasses the iron rod and attacks from the left side instead.

Yu Hongzhi's move is one of the six moves of the "Hongyang Stick Method", called "Straight Stick Method". It took him a few years to practice this move, so that he was handy, seeing Uncle Snake turn to attack the left side, his right hand reversed the force, and the iron rod in his hand shuttled in the palm, turning into a stick head held in the palm, the tail of the stick buzzed, and he went straight to Uncle Snake.

Yimao saw that this reckless man had used such an ingenious trick, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart.

Uncle Snake suddenly saw that the iron rod was hitting him straight again, he sighed lightly in his heart, his rushing body suddenly stopped, and suddenly rose upwards into the sky, and then on his head and feet, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, the speed increased dramatically, and the green light of the snake-shaped monster sword was dazzling, and it reached the top of Yu Hongzhi's head in an instant.

Gao Jie was behind Chen Dake and them, and when he saw that Uncle Snake changed the attack angle three times in a short period of time, his speed became faster and faster, and finally he fell from the sky, and his body was extremely high, so he couldn't help but sweat for Yu Hongzhi.

Yu Hongzhi saw that Uncle Snake changed his moves quickly, and he was as smart as a snake, his eyes were shining, he exhaled and shouted, "Okay!", his wrist flicked, and the iron rod suddenly bounced up, and the thick iron rod turned over like a dragon, and slammed into Uncle Snake in the air.

Uncle Snake saw that the iron rod was attacking again, and he was a little distracted. Although he thinks that he can hit his opponent first with this move, he will definitely be hit by the iron rod later. With his identity, how could he fight with the farmer-like man in front of him, in desperation, Uncle Snake was in mid-air, reunited, and his body flipped out of thin air, and he actually changed direction and fell a foot away.

Yu Hongzhi saw Uncle Snake retreating, and immediately accepted the move, the iron rod hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the mighty and majestic body stopped at Yuezhi, standing steadily, blocking Uncle Snake's way like a mountain, and did not chase after him.

Although there is only one trick of the "straight stick", which is varied, both offensive and defensive, although Yu Hongzhi has a bad brain, but this trick has been meticulous and diligent for several years, as the saying goes, "practice makes perfect", although the changes are complicated, but now he according to the opponent's move direction angle, no need to use his brain, he can make the corresponding change of moves, the heavy iron rod is flexible and powerful, such as the arm to make the fingers.

The golden-faced Venerable who killed without forgiveness was all martial arts wizards, not only with deep internal strength, but also with unpredictable martial arts moves, but when Uncle Snake met Yu Hongzhi, a master who relied on hard work and hard training, he also faintly felt helpless.

In fact, Uncle Snake's martial arts are still one line higher than Yu Hongzhi, but if he wants to win the battle, it is estimated that after getting a hundred moves. He is also a martial arts idiot type of person in his life, seeing the subtlety of this simple and reckless man's stick technique, he can't help but see the hunting heart, completely forgetting what the task is, and just wants to have a good fight with Yu Hongzhi, so as to fully see the whole picture of this man's unique stick method.

Uncle Snake was half-squatting and accumulating strength, and was about to attack again, but he saw several people suddenly walking out of the crowd of onlookers, with steady steps and extraordinary momentum.

The person at the head of the crane has a childish face, is over seventy years old, dressed in a white robe, has a kind of taste of fairy wind bones, his eyes are bright, his demeanor is calm, and there is an extraordinary momentum that has been in a high position for a long time.

His face was calm, and he led everyone to the middle of the field, and said lightly: "Everyone, stop, is there really no one in the Li clan in my Yong'an?!"

Although the sound was not loud, it made everyone present feel a shock in their hearts, which showed that its internal force was unfathomable.

Gao Jie looked at it fixedly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn't know the old man, but there was a man behind him that he had seen before.

That person was also a septuagenarian, short and thin, with a sickly face, it was Li Qingcheng, the third elder of the Li clan.

Hao Yin and An Xiaoliang faintly felt that the momentum of the comer was extraordinary, and their hearts sank, and when they saw that the Li family had a strong helper, they beckoned their subordinates to stop the attack and retreat to their previous positions.

Li Hongming, who was restrained by a hair, saw that the clan had finally come and the clansmen had been saved, his eyes suddenly lit up, he was emotional, and tears flowed out again.

Uncle Snake didn't attack, but he was still half-squatting, maintaining an attack posture, and Yimao said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

The crane-haired old man said coldly: "I am Li Qinghuan, the patriarch of the Li clan in Yong'anli, Venerable Yimao, can you let me go of the patriarch of the side family Li Hongming first?"

Yimao laughed when he heard this, and his fat body trembled, and said, "What qualifications do you have to let me go?

Li Qinghuan didn't answer, he let out a long howl, his true anger was agitated, the white robe flew out, and fell into the hands of the clansmen behind, revealing a cyan trimmed samurai uniform, although he was over seventy years old, his figure was not blessed, and he looked very capable and mighty.

He flew into the white robe, his body suddenly rushed forward, and the green shadow flashed to the front of Yimao, only to see a brilliant sword slashing in mid-air, and a snow-bright sword struck Yimao Venerable with lightning speed.

Seeing that this knife was like thunder, its face became extremely solemn, he let go of Li Hongming's right hand, and shouted, a pair of metal fists made of unknown metal emitted a dark light, and he hit the knife head head-on.

In the sound of gold and iron, Yimao took two steps back in a row, stopped his figure, his arms trembled slightly, and his eyes became more solemn.

Li Qinghuan's body was also shocked, and he floated back a few steps, retreated in front of the crowd of the clan, and handed Li Hongming to Li Qingcheng in the back.

It turned out that he attacked with one sword, and his intention was not to attack, but to take the opportunity to save Li Hongming from the hands of Venerable Yimao.

Seeing that Venerable Yimao was fooled, he was furious in his heart, and his true qi was suddenly released, and his round body seemed to have swelled a lot, and he was about to kill Li Qinghuan in the midst of the shouting.
