After the four of them entered the Sichuan realm, Zhenguan looked worried, silently took the lead, galloped wildly, and the three of them were busy riding their horses to catch up. After the horses galloped for more than ten miles, Duan Hongzi shouted loudly: "Brother Zhenguan, this kind of running, after a long time, the horses will not be able to stop it!"

Zhenguan slowed down his mount, glanced back at Duan Hongzi, and sighed: "Brother Dao, I'm really anxious! Tang Sect's style of acting, you don't know it, if you don't move, it will be thunder and thunder! I'm really worried, Senior Brother Fang, can they withstand it!"

Broken Hongzi nodded and said, "Yes, if you are not completely sure, they will not make a move." Come to think of it, they had already planned it. The appearance of that Tang Sect disciple just now shows that our group has already been under their surveillance. However, it's useless to be anxious, you have to be extremely careful along the way, they will definitely lay a powerful killing move on the road ahead!"

Ling Kong interjected and asked, "What kind of affair do we have with the Tang Sect? They want to deal with us like this!"

Zhenguan said: "It's a long story. In short, not only did the faction have festivals with the Tang Sect, but many martial arts factions such as Shaolin and Wudang had festivals with them. Not to mention, even the Kongtong faction of your predecessors who broke Hongzi also had a deep hatred with the Tang Sect. ”

Ling Kong said strangely: "I haven't heard of how powerful this Tang Sect is! How could they form a bond with so many martial arts factions?"

Zhenguan muttered slightly: "You ask the predecessor of Duan Hongzi, thirty years ago, how famous was the Tang Sect in the martial arts?"

Broken Hongzi said: "How big the territory of the Ming Dynasty is now, how big their sphere of influence is! At that time, there were twelve rudders in various places, and your Uncle Fang's Chaotian Fort was only one of their twelve rudders at that time. ”

Ling Kong exclaimed: "It's so powerful! I can't imagine it!" Duan Hongzi said: "That's it! Even Shaolin and Wudang at that time were afraid of three points, let alone other sects." At that time, their disciples walked the rivers and lakes, and they only needed to light up the pennant of the Tang Sect with rusty 'clothes darts', and the black and white martial arts figures were easy to see. ”

Ling Xiao interjected and asked, "Is the martial arts of the Tang Sect disciples very powerful?"

Zhenguan said: "In the heyday, although there were some people with extraordinary martial arts, there were not too many. They are powerful with secret weapons. Many hidden weapons have their own poisons. Ling Xiao sighed: "It's so vicious!"

Duan Hongzi interjected: "This is not the most vicious! They also make some deadly secret weapons with machine spring devices, and once they are activated, the middle ones are often beaten into a sieve; the most terrifying hidden weapons with organic springs and gunpowder are even broken to pieces, and even annihilated! Therefore, as soon as that kind of secret weapon comes out, it almost pronounces the death date of the other party. ”

Ling Kong and Ling Xiao all stuck out their tongues and exclaimed: "It's terrifying!"

Zhenguan said: "Yes! Back then, there were many disciples of the sect who died under these vicious secret weapons because of disputes with the disciples of the Tang Sect. Therefore, not only the martial arts, but even the imperial court were a little frightened of them. ”

Ling Xiao said: "Why doesn't the imperial court prohibit them from using this kind of vicious secret weapon? I think they don't dare not listen, who would dare to fight against the millions of male soldiers of the imperial court?"

Zhenguan said: "It's not that simple. First, the identities of the members of the Tang Sect organization and the real secret bases in various places are very secret, and most of them are not really rudders in various places, so it is difficult to identify and find them one by one; Therefore, it is not easy for the court to find a cause to eliminate them. ”

Ling Xiao said: "It's really cunning, so how can you deal with them?"

Zhenguan said: "Of course, the people in the rivers and lakes will solve the problems! At that time, the martial arts factions, such as the Nangong family and the Huanhua faction, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and even sent people into their organizations. After several years of secret investigations, they finally figured out their backbone personnel and the real secret bases in various places one by one......"

Ling Xiao asked curiously, "What is the internal situation of the Tang Sect organization?"

Zhenguan said: "Actually, I don't know the master very well, I was still young at that time, and I only participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Tang Sect. It's just that I heard your ancestor say that the Tang Sect is divided into an inner room and an outer group. The inner room is in the general rudder, which is mainly responsible for the development of various hidden weapons, and the leader of the outer group is also in the general rudder, responsible for training disciples and sending disciples to various places to carry out tasks. In addition to the operation of jewelry, liquor stores, dry docks, dart shops, etc., the outer group also took over some business such as money and assassination. Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I see! No wonder they have such great ability!"

Zhenguan continued: "Later, the Nangong family, the Huanhua faction and other martial arts sects united to quickly break through various bases and kill some of the fierce criminals. Of course, our factions have also paid a great price. The Tang Men were horrified and demanded peace with us. As a result, each faction sent representatives to negotiate with the representatives of the Tang Sect, demanding that the Tang Sect should no longer seek revenge from the various factions, nor should they kill indiscriminately on the rivers and lakes at every turn. Ling Kong said: "I think we are benevolent and righteous, have you accepted it?"

Broken Hongzi said: "Do you accept the tragic things that will follow! My master, uncle, and senior brother have a total of nine, and eight have died, leaving only one senior brother who is crippled for life!

Zhenguan sighed: "Isn't our Qingcheng miserable? My ancestor, three uncles, and six senior brothers all died tragically, leaving me and my master to escape this catastrophe. It still hurts to think about it!"

Ling Kong said angrily: "Ah, it's so vicious! How can this be? What the hell is going on?"

Duan Hongzi said: "Here's the thing: during the negotiation, the representative of the Tang Sect did not immediately reply to the conditions put forward by us, saying that he would go back to report and reply after discussion. Who knows, that night, the Tang Sect poured out, carrying almost all the vicious secret weapons, and carried out a sneak attack on us. Fortunately, we were a little precautionary, and with the advantage of numbers and martial arts, we finally subdued them. But we also paid a heavy price, no less than 200 elites of various factions died, and the death was unbearable, and some of them were even blown up so that they couldn't even find their bones!" After being stunned for a moment, Ling Xiao said in a trembling voice: "This ...... Uncle Fang...... How can you beat it?"

Zhenguan said: "Today's Tang Gate is no longer what it used to be! We later broke through the Tang Gate Helm, and also destroyed all the remaining vicious secret weapons. As for the legitimate business operations left behind by the Tang Sect, the Huanhua faction took over Sichuan, Quanzhen and Huashan took over Shaanxi and Gansu, Wudang took over Lianghu, and the Nangong family took over Henan. The imperial court took over the northern and southern regions. ”

Ling Xiao said: "Why haven't Shaolin and Emei been assigned to the territory of these Buddhist sects?" Zhenguan smiled and said: "How can it be called a division of territory? It's so ugly! The various factions have discussed it together, and then they have been promoted together." As for their Buddhist sects, most of them are indifferent to fame and fortune and do not want to make a living in these businesses, and we will also donate part of the profits to their temples on a regular basis. ”

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "In this way, the Tang Sect should be in a state of flux, why did it come out to make trouble again now?"

Zhenguan said: "I also think it's very strange! Over the years, we have been carefully monitoring their every move. It stands to reason that if the Tang Sect wants to rise again, it must have a large number of vicious secret weapons in order to pose a threat to us. However, it is unlikely that they will be able to do so either financially or in terms of opportunity. But they jumped out again, so I was puzzled. ”

Duan Hongzi joked: "Maybe they're crazy! Mad dog, how can it be reasonable? Just bite indiscriminately! How big can it be?"

Zhenguan Zhengse said: "But the information of the owner of the merchant building says that Chaotian Fort is in critical condition, how can it be fake?"

※※※

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhenguan and his entourage arrived in the territory of Delinshui. In the middle of the mountains, I saw a big mountain rising majestically, rough and majestic, and magnificent. Zhenguan raised his finger and said, "This is Huaying Mountain." When I was younger, I came here and took the southern foothills, through the Valley of Providence, and arrived at Chaotian Fort in about a day. ”

The four of them rode into the valley, the mountain road was bumpy, and it was gradually difficult to ride, so they all got off the horse and led the horse forward. After walking for about half an hour, I heard the sound of the water rumbling, and a bright white waterfall poured down from the middle cliff. Zhenguan led the horse to take the lead, and just walked to the bottom of the waterfall, the whistling sound of a row of sharp bamboo rows, hidden in the roaring water, slanted down with the momentum of thunder! Zhenguan reacted very quickly, he had already drawn his sword in his hand, and split head-on, and the two splitting bamboo rows were holding his two-ribbed robe, roaring through, and the sound of "poof" was inserted into the body of the horse behind him. The horse had only time to scream for half a time, and was knocked to the ground, nailed to the ground in a blur of flesh and blood.

Nine repeating crossbows, six darts, and a puff of poisonous sand shot out from three directions! Weaving into a net over the heads of the four men, they served as hoods. Zhenguan danced into a white shadow in the sky above his head, and the hidden weapons he encountered flew one after another, and the rest of the people were busy wielding long swords to protect their heads. The three mounts were frightened, screaming and bleeding.

The four of them quickly gathered together with their backs and looked around.

Under the six throwing knives, four iron thistles, and a large canopy of silver needles! The four long swords formed a circle of light, and the hidden weapons crashed into the air.

Two steel knives on the right, four judge's pens on the left, and a spear in mid-air rushed to attack. Zhenguan shouted, grabbed the head of the gun with his left hand, and hit it with him, and hit the ribs of the man who was stabbed in the air, "click", the ribs were broken, and in the scream, the man fell to the ground with his hands and feet, and immediately fainted. The Broken Rainbow Sword circled, holding two steel knives. Volley, Lingxiao long sword Huo Huo, in the "sonorous" sound, sealed the four judge's pens at the outer door.

A heavy steel whip and a meteor hammer roared towards Ling Xiao. Zhenguan rushed to the body, knocked the meteor hammer with a sword, blocked the Lingxiao horizontal sword, and "resonated" sealed the chest and whipped, only to feel that the arm was numb, and the long sword almost got out of his hand. Two long swords slashed the thighs of the two people, and Zhenguan's right foot kicked one of them on the wrist like lightning, and the man took off the long sword and fell down. Broken Hongzi's long sword snapped, and then took a sword that cut Ling Xiao's left leg.

Eight enemies surrounded four people in the core, attacking in turns, constantly changing opponents. The three Tang Sect disciples stood on a high place, holding the hidden weapon in their hands and waiting for the opportunity to launch, but everyone was fighting tightly, fearing that they would hurt their own people, so they didn't dare to send it out. In the middle of the fight, Zhenguan suddenly bullied the man who made the pop hammer, and hit his chest with his left elbow, and the blood in the man's mouth spurted wildly, and he fell to the ground on his back. The two steel knife masters who fought alone in the air gradually couldn't cover it and retreated. The leader's martial arts are the strongest, his arm strength is strong, and his whip technique is wonderful, every time Ling Xiao intersects with his blade, his arm is shocked and painful, and he gritted his teeth and fought for more than ten rounds, gradually feeling overwhelmed.

After four or five rounds of fighting, the sword of Broken Hongzi came out like the wind and stabbed the right arm of an enemy, and the man hurriedly retreated to the side to wrap his wounds, and the remaining enemy could not resist and retreated again and again. A seven-inch flying knife shot at his throat, and the broken rainbow saw it clearly, grabbed it with his probing hand, threw it backhand, and the flying knife shot out, and the "grab" was pierced in the chest of the sneak attacker, until it reached the handle. The Tang Sect disciple screamed in surprise and fell to the ground from the branches.

Broken Hongzi sneered: "Boys, what other secret weapons, just use them for this Dao Master!" In the sneer, he slid to the side of a knife man, and the sword flashed, and "poof" pierced into his right rib, and the man screamed and fell down. With one less enemy in the volley, he was refreshed and fought back, leaving the swordsman with no power to fight back.

The leader wanted to quickly deal with Ling Xiao's fierce attack with both whips on his head and face, but Ling Xiao struggled to take a few moves, and his steps staggered. The leader saw the flaw, and the steel whip in his right hand whistled and hung diagonally, slashing straight at the left rib of the sky.

Zhenguan shook his spirits, waved his sleeves and flew away two sneak attack thistles, and cut off the arm of a swordsman in two moves. The two shouted again and again, and fought seven or eight times in the blink of an eye, and the leader gradually couldn't hide Zhenguan's stormy sword momentum, and retreated again and again. A man was busy withdrawing to help, and the judge's pen pierced Zhenguan's lower abdomen, and was slashed obliquely by Zhenguan's sword, and his head and shoulders were split into two sections. The leader breathed a sigh of relief, transported twelve successes, and slammed his double whips into Zhenguan's chest. Zhenguan didn't have time to return to the sword to block the frame, hurriedly abandoned the long sword, grabbed the head of the double whip like lightning, staggered back and stood firm, shouted violently, slammed his elbow into the chest, and slammed into the leader's chest with an "empty" sound. Blood spurted from the leader's mouth, and his purple face turned red, and he fell to his knees.

Two of the remaining three enemies had already been lightly wounded and were quickly stabbed down by Zhenguan's master and apprentice. For a time, the besieging enemy had five dead and four seriously wounded. And one person from the Tang Gate died.

Tang Qing and Tang Sheng were terrified when they saw that they had all fallen, and Tang Xiaoxu was killed by Broken Hongzi, hated this old way, and swore in their hearts that they must kill him before they were willing, and the secret weapons beckoned to Broken Hongzi one after another. Broken Hongzi saw a cluster of sleeve arrows and a puff of silver needles when his head fell down, his sleeves swayed, and he rolled up his sleeve arrows and silver needles, and suddenly felt a pain in his left shoulder, numb and itchy, and it turned out that he had been hit by a highly poisonous silver needle. The silver needle is made of a machine spring, and this silver needle is the largest and most powerful one, so this silver needle is the real killer move. Broken Hongzi didn't jump away from the dodge, and forced to roll it with his sleeve robe, and his body protection skills were slightly inferior, so he hit this killing move. At the moment, he was angry and anxious, his right hand shook, and a small knife as thin as a silkworm wing flew out like a shock, piercing Tang Qing's throat.

Broken Hongzi killed Tang Qing, and his heart was a little willing, and he hurriedly waved his fingers to seal several acupoints on his shoulders and chest to prevent the poisonous gas from attacking his heart;

Zhenguan pointed to Tang Sheng on the half-cliff and shouted: "Quickly hand over the antidote!" Tang Sheng gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't think!" As he spoke, nine crossbow arrows flew out of his sleeve like lightning and went straight to Zhenguan's lower abdomen. Zhenguan was furious, pulled out a zhang out of thin air, and the crossbow arrow suddenly fell into the air, and with a shake of his hand, the sword spun with the momentum of thunder, cutting Tang Sheng's waist into two pieces.

Zhenguan searched for the bodies of the three Tang Sect disciples in a hurry, his heart was cold, and he walked back to Broken Hongzi with empty hands gloomily, leaning over to check the injuries. Ling Xiao and Ling Kong didn't know that Broken Hongzi was dying, and when they saw the master's gloomy expression, they ran up in horror to inquire about the injury. Zhenguan sat cross-legged on the ground, pressed his palms against the back of the broken rainbow's heart, and said, "I didn't find the antidote! Ling Xiao, Ling Kong, look at the seriously wounded enemy, if they dare to make a move, kill them!"

Duan Hongzi's face was already purple, cold sweat was dripping, and he hurriedly stopped Zhenguan: "Brother Zhenguan, don't! This poison is too powerful! If you help me, you will also die!" Zhenguan had tears in his eyes and slowly withdrew his hands.

Ling Xiao turned around and said anxiously, "Ah?...... No, it won't...... I'll carry you and go to the town to find the antidote!" bent down to pick up the broken rainbow. Broken Hongzi shook his hand and said, "It's useless...... Thank you very much. With difficulty, he took off a piece of jade engraved with small characters on his neck, looked at Zhenguan, and said, "Brother Zhenguan, please ...... Have time...... Take a trip to ...... Kunlun Mountain, inform my ...... Death. Combine...... Give this jade pendant to ...... Senior Brother Yun Lingzi...... Make him a ...... Master. ”

Zhenguan took it with tears in his eyes, nodded and said, "Brother Dao, don't worry!"

Duan Hongzi's eyes showed gratitude, his face gradually darkened, he was short of breath, and he whispered in his mouth: "Cold...... It's so cold......" Ling Xiao took off his robe, covered him, and asked, "Are you better?"

Duan Hongzi reluctantly opened his eyes, raised his hand with great effort, grabbed Ling Xiao's right hand, and said with difficulty: "You...... Like...... Qinghong?"

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and when he saw that he was looking at himself with expectation, he was suddenly moved inexplicably, tears filled his eyes, and he choked up: "Is the predecessor talking about Miss Sang......?" Of course I do. However, Miss Sang didn't like me. ”

Broken Hongzi shook her head lightly, trembling and whispered, "I...... Think...... Will her ...... Rationing...... You...... Would you like to?"

Ling Xiao lowered his head and sighed lightly. Duan Hongzi looked a little disappointed, turned his head to look at Zhenguan, and asked, "Zhenguan...... Elder brother...... You...... Can...... Would you like to?" Zhenguan stepped forward to hold his hand and choked up, "Of course I do! Thank you for being so fond of the little apprentice." ”

Broken Hongzi turned her head lightly again, looking at Ling Xiao expectantly. Ling Xiao said with tears in his eyes: "The love of the seniors will always be remembered by the younger generations! It's just that Miss Sang likes Brother Dongfang." Only people like him are worthy of Miss Sang. ”

Duan Hongzi clenched Ling Xiao's hand tightly with excitement and said, "Listen to me...... Say, he ...... Though...... Right now...... ...... than you Strong, but ...... You...... Certain...... Be ...... Confidence...... Surpass him...... Qinghong ...... Can I ...... with you I...... Feel relieved...... ...... with him I...... Feel relieved...... No less than ...... Promise me...... Take care...... Qinghong ...... "Ling Xiao's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know whether to agree or not, but he saw him staring at him deadly, and finally his eyes were dilated, and he hung his head softly.

The three of them dug a pit with their swords in the woods, buried the broken rainbow hastily, and marked a mark with their swords on the trunk of a beech tree next to them, and left in grief.

Zhenguan perked up his spirits and said, "People can't be resurrected after death! Let's go quickly! Go to the market in front of you and buy horses." ”
