Chapter 51: Pretending to be a woman again
In the fifth year of Yongping in the Great Xia Kingdom, the Shaolin Temple, the head of the five major schools in the Central Plains, spread the word to the world, and invited the martial arts heroes to gather in Songshan on the seventh day of the seventh month of July to discuss important matters. People in the know know that it is the whereabouts of the [Tiangang Xuanyin Record], an immortal book, that has finally been reported.
Since it first appeared in the rivers and lakes more than 300 years ago, it has been shrouded in a veil of mystery, and no one knows its origin. It is rumored that this book was written by the masters of the previous life according to the Taoist classics, which secretly combined with the creation of heaven and earth, and the principle of yin and yang being born and restrained from each other, which is not only a secret book of martial arts, but also a cultivator can prolong his life according to it, until he ascends to the immortal.
In the last years of the Qi Dynasty in the previous dynasty, [Tiangang Xuanming Lu] was obtained by the Tatar national teacher Tolu Buhua, who selected four people from the Tatar masters to practice this book, and finally two of them practiced to the fullest.
These two men, one Datozi and the other Aston, were both side branches of the Great Khan of Tatars. After that, the Tatar iron cavalry went south, repeatedly defeated the Qi army, and swept the north and south of the river. These two led the Tatar masters with the army and suppressed the Central Plains martial arts to do nothing.
At that time, Zhang Sanfeng, the first person in the Central Plains martial arts, although he fought hundreds of rounds with [Taijiquan] with Ashstone in front of the two armies, and killed him. However, the lord of Daqi was dark, drunk and drunk, and content with pleasure, his national power had declined, and the elite of the three armies were lost, and finally Shenzhou Lu Shen died at the hands of foreign races.
After the death of Tolu Buhua, Da Toqi succeeded to the position of Tatar national teacher, gathered the masters of the entire steppe desert around him, and recruited countless surrendered Central Plains martial arts people, and his power soared. Therefore, although none of his descendants could practice the divine skills in the [Tiangang Xuanyin Record], the entire family was already full-fledged and gradually fought against the Tatar Great Khan.
During the 100 years of Tatar rule in the Central Plains, the descendants of the Tatar Khan and Datozi have always been fighting among themselves, which gave the Taizu Xiahou Bufan the opportunity to raise troops. After the Xia army expelled the Tatars from the fortress, the Tatars were divided into two parts, one was based on the original Orthodox Great Khan family of the Tatar and was for the southern court of Tatar, and the other was for the descendants of the national master Datoqi, which was the northern court of Tatar. To this day, the Khan of the Tatar Southern Court still remembers the conquest of the Central Plains and the glory of his ancestors, so he leads troops to knock on the border from time to time.
This is also one of the reasons why the martial arts people in the Central Plains are so anxious about [Tiangang Xuanyinglu]. At the beginning, Ashstone died in the Central Plains, and this secret book was also lost in the chaos, if it fell into the hands of the Tatars again, I am afraid that the tragedy of the year will be repeated.
In the rudder of the beggar gang in Suzhou, Yunyang and several three or four bags of gangsters were discussing important matters, and several of them had serious faces and deep brows.
"Lord Yunrudder, Xiao Gang Master Feige sent a message, asking me to go to Shaolin to participate in the Songshan Conference in Suzhou, I don't know what this means?" asked Qi Dafa, the old beggar who led the beggar gang in the east of the city. In terms of distance, it is more convenient to go to Shaolin from Kaifeng and Jinan than Suzhou, even if it is from Yanjing to send people, it is more suitable than Suzhou to go to Shaolin.
Yunyang said: "As far as Yun knows, the whereabouts of [Tiangang Xuanyinglu] this time may be related to the Hehuan Valley in southern Jiangsu, and the Shaolin Temple seems to have captured the king's disciples." ”
Several old beggars were taken aback, "Hehuan Valley King's apprentice, isn't it the one who did the flower picking case in Suzhou City?"
Yunyang said: "Yes, the meaning of the helper is that these two things must be done together, not to mention that if I want to deal with the evil sect of Hehuan Valley in the future, I will have to divide the rudder in Suzhou to fight the front." ”
Yunyang said again: "It's not just my beggar gang who deals with it like this, the Oriental Sword of the Book Sword Alliance, and the Baili Slender of Emei will also go to Shaolin to participate in the meeting, only the Wudang faction heard that it was the youngest of the 'Four Clouds', but the 'Cloud Heart' with the strongest martial arts, to go to the meeting." ”
"Then what should I do when I help my disciples go to Shaolin?" the old beggars asked.
Yun Yang pondered for a moment, "This matter is very important, and the Xiao Gang Leader did not say it clearly in the letter, but only told me to act cheaply, in case this book appears, don't fall into the hands of the evil sect or the Tatars." ”
The beggars said yes. Yun Yang suddenly said again, "Gang Master Xiao's letter also mentioned that Lao Chen asked you to take a few disciples to accompany you on the road, and when the Songshan Conference is over, Lao Chen, you will go to Yanjing to meet with the former Xia Helmsman." ”
When Lao Chen heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Since the Xiao Gang Master has a life, Lao Chen listens to the tune." ”
Yunyang said: "Okay, in this case, Lao Qi and Lao Chen will choose a few disciples to accompany them and go to Shaolin with me, on the one hand, they will meet this big disciple of Hehuan Valley, Wang Ming, and by the way, they will see what this [Tiangang Xuanying Record] is." ”
........................
In the peach blossom forest by the lake in Niujia Village, an iron sword slashed through the air, startling the rain of flowers, and a figure swirled several times in the flying peach blossoms, and finally landed firmly on the ground, but there were seven or eight peach blossom petals on the tip of the sword.
"Okay, wheel, I didn't expect you to learn it quickly, but in just over ten days, this [Flower Moon Sword Technique] has been practiced quite hotly. A woman in pink next to her stood with a sword in her hand and nodded in praise.
This sword practitioner is Ba Jinlun, for more than ten days, under the supervision of Baili Xianxian, he has been practicing swordsmanship day and night, and practicing the ancient spectrum of the heart method inside, so that people can't see that he was a layman who didn't know anything about swordsmanship not long ago.
These days, the two learn martial arts every day, and the relationship between them is much closer. After Ba Jinlun landed, the sword blade turned, "Slim, look at the sword!"
As soon as he turned around, he used a move "Hanmei Turui" and attacked Baili Fiber. Baili Xian Xian didn't dare to be careless, and she carried out the body protection qi, and she also handed out a sword, she knew that she couldn't take advantage of Ba Jinlun in terms of internal strength, so she never bumped into him, but with the cooperation of her graceful body, she swam around Ba Jinlun.
Baili Xian Xian today is the Emei faction town faction swordsmanship [Jade Lady Shuxin Sword], as the head of the sect, she has not yet learned this set of swordsmanship, and it is rare to use this swordsmanship to fight with people. In the past few days, she has frequently learned martial arts with Ba Jinlun, and she also took the opportunity to practice the effect of the [Jade Lady Heart Sword] in actual combat.
The two fought more than ten moves, Ba Jinlun deliberately did not use the Hehuan Jue Gupu Mental Method, and purely used the [Flower Moon Sword Technique] to fight against her, but the [Jade Lady Shuxin Sword] After all, the Emei faction town faction swordsmanship, the moves are sharp and complicated, even if Baili Slender has not been fully learned, its power is far greater than the [Flower Moon Sword Technique] that is like a sword dance, so Ba Jinlun has always been at a disadvantage.
While fighting, Ba Jinlun withdrew his sword and took a few steps back, and said, "If you continue to fight like this, I am not your opponent." You woman is really cautious, you don't teach me clever swordsmanship, but teach me a set of 'dancing swordsmanship'. ”
Baili Xian said angrily, "You kid who doesn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, how can this martial arts be easily passed on, not to mention that this [Jade Lady Shuxin Sword] is the swordsmanship of my Emei Town faction, even if you are a woman, you have to look at the opportunity to create, and the master will teach you one or two moves." ”
When Ba Jinlun heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and thought that he was a man, if he was in Shaolin with her, how should she explain to her fellow martial artists? Could it be that the Emei faction has also begun to recruit male disciples?
He told Baili Xianxian about his concerns, but she didn't care and said, "Since you want to go to Shaolin with me, you naturally want to pretend to be my master and sister." ”
"What, you have to pretend to be a woman again?" Ba Jinlun stopped when he heard this. When he and Mo Yangui plotted to rob the Jinyi Guard's horse, he originally intended to let Mo Yangui put on some makeup, and he pretended to be a little girl, but who knew that Mo Yangui resolutely refused, and pointed at his throat again, forcing him to disguise himself as a bewitching woman and hook up with the Jinyi Guard.
At that time, he was already full of reluctance, and at this moment he wanted him to pretend to be a woman, how could he be willing to obey, and now shook his head like a rattle, and shirked, "I am such a majestic and high-spirited strange man, pretending to be a woman is ironclad, in case someone sees a flaw, it will not damage the reputation of your Emei faction." ”
Baili Xian smiled and said: "Wheel, why should you worry too much, when the time comes, there will be righteous people from all factions on Shaomu Mountain, and you will be like you as a little lewd thief, and you will embarrass the heroine of our Emei faction." I will lend you a set of clothes and veils, as long as you are honest by my side and don't say a word, who will see the flaws? Not to mention that if you learn this set of [Flower Moon Sword Technique] again, you will have a few tricks with others, and others will only think that you are my new disciple of Emei. ”
She thought again: "I have an uncle who has been a monk in Emei Xianfeng Temple and has not come down the mountain for decades. She has only one disciple, named Zhang Menglin, who happens to be twenty years old, and has been leading the cultivation and accompanying my uncle. No one in the rivers and lakes should have seen her face, so this time you will pretend to be my Senior Sister Zhang. ”
Ba Jinlun didn't expect that she had even arranged her identity for herself, and then thought that since she had promised to accompany her to Shaolin, she could only be convenient as a disciple of Emei, so she had to respond with a bitter face.
Seeing him agree, Baili Xianxian happily looked left and right around him, "You are much taller than ordinary women, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear my clothes, and when I go back to the house, I will change it for you, and I have to get it fit." ”
