Section 4: Returning to Basics

At noon on the third day after Yue Xiao and Chongsan left the Xu Zi Camp, Bai Hu, one of the four major commanders of the Shen Xuan Pavilion, and Liu Qing, the deputy commander, came to the Xu Zi Camp and learned that Chongsan and Yue Xiao had left the Xu Zi Camp three days ago and went to the Tianzhu Pen Pavilion to watch the chess game back to the truth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So the white tiger and Liu Qing set off towards the Heavenly Pillar of Anhui again.

As everyone knows, Shen Xuan Pavilion, which is far away in the spiritual capital, is in a chaos.

National pillar Feng Zhaoran reprimanded Zhao Yunliang, the master of Shenxuan Pavilion, who was famous in the rivers and lakes, but took refuge in the imperial court, Zhao Yunliang, who had been the master of Shenxuan Pavilion for thirty years, a veteran of the two dynasties, and talked about seniority. is only worse than the old prime minister Wang Cheng, but in the face of the rejection of the national pillar Feng Zhaoran, he can only touch the pillar with his head to shout his will.

The cause of the incident is very simple, just because of the discord between the two people, Feng Zhaoran insisted on going his own way and wanted to go to ruin the chess game of returning to the truth, but Zhao Yunliang insisted on the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the rules of the rivers and lakes, and it was inconvenient for the government and the opposition to interfere.

The two then argued endlessly in the early court, but unfortunately Zhao Yunliang, the weak Shenxuan Pavilion master, was suppressed by the likes of the national pillar, and even Emperor Tianwu was helpless against the national pillar Feng Zhaoran, so he could only hint that Zhao Yunliang retreated to the second, but unfortunately Zhao Yunliang was stubborn by nature, and in the end he could only touch Zhu Mingzhi with his head.

Guozhu Feng Zhaoran no longer argued, but the next morning, Guozhu Feng Zhaoran was not there, and it is said that he had led the troops to set off towards the Tianzhu of Anhui.

Zhao Yunliang was angry, and when a mouthful of blood spurted out, he was bedridden ever since. And everything in Shen Xuan Pavilion is temporarily handled by Qinglong, the head of the four major leaders.

On the first day of the reign of the acting pavilion lord Qinglong, he sent the two major commanders of Vermilion Bird Xuanwu to rush to the Tianzhu of Anhui, regardless of life and death to block the destruction of the national pillar Feng Zhaoran to restore the chess game to the truth, and even issued a Shen Xuan order to summon the white tiger to the two great commanders of the Heavenly Pillar of Anhui and the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu to make peace.

......

Away from the yellow sand, away from Xu Ziying, stepping into the rivers and lakes, this is Yue Xiao's life, just a single figure when he came, when he left, there was a brother with a hook on his shoulder, talking and laughing.

Walking on the official road to the Tianzhu of Anhui, Yue Xiao and Chongsan were dressed plainly, holding a long sword, dressed as a Jianghu person, but one was a pale sick seedling, and he still looked quite eye-catching, and the other was heroic, and the jade tree was in the wind, which still attracted everyone's attention.

Yue Xiao and Chongsan, who rode by, didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, but they heard a somewhat ugly nursery rhyme on the official road. The content of the nursery rhyme goes like this:

The crazy knife is out, and the rivers and lakes are mocking;

Wudang is stupid all over the world, Shaolin bald donkeys crawl all over the ground, Kongtong has eight beds in his fists and feet, and Emei girls have a flower;

Haisha Seven Stars is a real cow fork, all gods gamble and want to sell, there is a lack of mother if there are beggars and five elements, why not go to find Emei flowers?

A nursery rhyme has been repeated several times by the nine major schools of the rivers and lakes, and the meaning of ridicule in it is self-evident.

As the Taishan Beidou of the Jianghu martial arts, Shaolin and Wudang laughed at it, and as the famous forces of the rivers and lakes, Kongtong and Emei wanted to get rid of it but had nothing to do, the beggar gang, the Haisha Gang, and the two major gangs in the rivers and lakes were also panicking, but they lacked skills to fight against the Demon Sect, as for the Seven Star Gate and the Five Elements Sect, they were helpless about it, so they could only restrain their disciples and try to do as little as possible. For the martial arts rookie Crazy Knife Gate, he was pushed to the cusp, and was even pulled out by people on the rivers and lakes who had colluded with the Demon Sect.

It is rumored that Zhang Ao, the owner of the Crazy Knife Gate, smashed the cup and slapped the table and shouted to find out the "master" who compiled this nursery rhyme, vowing to peel his skin and cramp, break the corpse into thousands of pieces, and break the bones and scatter ashes.

......

"Who do you say is that master?" Chongsan asked Yue Xiao.

"The eldest brother already has the answer in his heart, why should he ask the younger brother. Yue Xiao grabbed the reins, and let the white horse sit down and march casually on the official road.

"I've ever heard that fifteen years ago, there was a beautiful legend in the game of True Chess. Chongsan smiled and seduced Yue Xiao and said.

"Oh, and that's it? "Yue Xiao really didn't know anything about the True Chess Game, he only knew that it was just a battle between two seniors in the rivers and lakes.

It is rumored that fifteen years ago, known as the first person in the rivers and lakes, Bu Liuming and the 100-year-old protector Fan Xiliu on the platform fought for three days and three nights without distinguishing the winner or loser, and agreed to fight again after half a year, but the martial arts fight after half a year has not yet been decided, so he set up a true chess game in the pen pavilion under the Tianzhu Peak, and agreed to win or lose between the thirty-two chessboards, and the name of success or failure was determined in the vertical and horizontal battles. Chongsan said slowly.

It is rumored that the beginning of this true chess game was seen by countless heroes of the rivers and lakes, but one step is a few months of returning to the true chess game, so that countless heroes and heroes retreated, fifteen years, Fan Xiliu, the protector of the Taoist who had passed the age of antiquity, is now white-haired, and a green silk step has become full of white, the vicissitudes of life in the past fifteen years, the rivers and lakes have changed suddenly. Chongsan continued.

"During this true chess game, the rivers and lakes are missing the world's first step to stay in the dark and the protector on the hundred-year-old platform, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, the remnants of the Demon Sect take advantage of the situation, and the rivers and lakes set off a bloody storm, Taishan Beidou Wudang Shaolin does not ask about mundane things, the old faction of the force Kongtong Emei is powerless, as for the Haisha Beggars Gang to resist the Demon Sect, it is barely supported, and everyone in the Seven Stars and Five Elements is in danger. When it comes to the rivers and lakes, Chongsan has a lot of sadness, and seems to be worried about this chaotic rivers and lakes.

Yue Xiao listened to Chongsan's tone, and he also felt deeply about the chaos in the rivers and lakes, after all, he used to be a sword in the world, and he asked who the heroes of the world were opponents, but now that he thinks about it, he is really arrogant and arrogant, and the real master will not care about such a pediatric fight. What they care about is their own realm cultivation, it seems that the heavenly immortals descended to the earth, and fame and fortune were diminished, but all sentient beings such as us are ordinary people, why should we pursue the way of heaven that cannot be seen or touched, but only exists in the imagination?

Or is it Fan Xiliu, the protector on the hundred-year-old platform, and Bu Liuming, who is known as the first in the world, can see it and compete for the false name of the first in the world, but who can say whether this is right or wrong?

Yue Xiao thought of a lot in his heart, but it was just a moment.

"What about the Crazy Knife Gate sung in that nursery rhyme?" Yue Xiao listened to Chongsan slowly talk about the rivers and lakes in the past fifteen years, but he never mentioned the Crazy Knife Gate in the nursery rhyme.

"The crazy knife of the new star was rejected by the righteous way of the rivers and lakes, and another family was started, not asking about the right and demons, just to do what he wanted, and to do it casually, which is called the evil way in the rivers and lakes. Chongsan shook his head and said helplessly.

"What does it mean?" Yue Xiao asked puzzled.

"Do not tolerate the way of righteousness and demons, born from the heart, go with your heart, anger is anger, resentment is resentment, not by the righteous defense of the way, more different from the devil's killing at will, unscrupulous, act from the heart, do not stand in the will of others, evil, right, demons, a thought can be right, a thought can be demons. Chongsan seems to be very familiar with the so-called evil ways in the rivers and lakes.

Yue Xiao looked at Chongsan, as if he was wondering why Chongsan knew so much about the evil way.

Chongsan looked at the confusion in Yue Xiao's eyes, how could he not understand what Yue Xiao meant.

"It's okay to talk to you, Crazy Knife Zhang Ao has been friends with me for a long time, so he has a good understanding of the evil way. Chongsan said with a smile.

"The eldest brother is really kind-hearted, the way of good and evil, all of them are handed over, if the way of evil, one thought is right, and the eldest brother is indispensable. Yue Xiao said sincerely.

"Although Zhang Ao is arrogant and ambitious, he is different from the likes of Feng Zhaoran, a national pillar, who values love and righteousness, and is a person who repays kindness and resentment. Chongsan introduced Zhang Ao's character to Yue Xiao.

"Then what's the matter with this chess game?" Yue Xiao asked.

Fifteen years ago, that is, before the chess game began to move, Fan Xiliu, the protector of the hundred-year-old platform, once said that the rivers and lakes have changed suddenly, and the traitors have risen together, and the heroes are everywhere, and the prosperous world has become here, or destroyed here. ”

"The government and the opposition in the rivers and lakes have changed suddenly, the traitors and males have risen together, and the heroes are everywhere, isn't this the current situation of the government and the opposition in the rivers and lakes. Yue Xiao frowned.

"Otherwise, do you think that this true chess game will have such appeal, whether it is the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, or the government and the opposition have been dispatched, even my Xu Ziying has two people, not to mention the countless small forces on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Then, is that Guozhu ......" Yue Xiao didn't finish asking.

"Maybe, it's hard to say, the rivers and lakes of the government and the opposition mentioned by Fan Xiliu's predecessors have suddenly changed greatly, isn't that what he said. "Chongsandao.

It's just that Chongsan's unnatural expression is difficult to hide, and Yue Xiao naturally has a full view of Chongsan's nervous movements.

"Big brother and Feng Zhaoran, are there any ulterior secrets?" Yue Xiao asked again.

"Guozhu and I have a deep blood feud. Chongsan gritted his teeth and said. Speaking of this, Chongsan unconsciously clenched his fists, and a stream of true qi rushed up to his body, and suddenly, the manic true qi triggered the poison of the absolute martial arts on his body.

Looking at Chongsan, whose body trembled slightly, the brown horse he sat on trembled, as if he was afraid of something.

When Yue Xiao saw this, he immediately knew that this was a manifestation of the attack of the Absolute Martial Poison.

Yue Xiao naturally held the reins with his left hand, and his right hand rested on Chongsan's shoulder. With a strong internal force, he suppressed the true qi in Chongsan's body that was raging.

On the official road, two people and two horses, one with scarlet eyes, sat down and the brown horse kept trembling, as if it was trembling because of the loss of strength, and one person on the side steadily suppressed the person, the speed of travel was very slow, and the people in the martial arts next to the official road looked sideways.

But after seeing that pale face, they all surrounded its side to escort it.

And Yue Xiao, who closed his eyes and concentrated on suppressing the chaotic and irritable true qi in Chongsan's body with his own strong internal force, had no idea what was going on around him.

Just when a group of martial arts heroes rushed to the Tianzhu of Anhui, the Yuelai Inn at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain welcomed its first guest from afar.

In the twenty-second year of Tianwu, that is, the year when Yue Xiao won the martial champion with a sword, an oiran appeared in the Lingdu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing, all of them were all fine, and their graceful posture touched the minds of countless eunuchs, but under the bloodthirsty sword of Yue Xiao, the third son of the military department was cut off by his arm, and the grandson of Zhao Taifu was broken his legs, but no one dared to say a word, just because Feng Zhaoran said, the world is big, Yue Xiao is my righteous son, and the one who moves it will die!

Even if it is the book of the military department, even the old Zhao Taifu of the Three Dynasties can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, since then, the first legendary fireworks woman in the capital has become a signboard in the Piaoxiang Building.

Although Yue Xiao fell out of favor, he lived freely, often nostalgic for Piaoxiang Building, and the officials above the court could only hold back the anger in his heart.

In the early spring of the twenty-fourth day of Tianwu, that unwarranted holy decree not only took away the martial champion Yue Xiao, but also the first Oiran of the Heavenly Spirit Dynasty.

It's just that two years have passed, and now the top brand of Piaoxiang Building, which is only twenty years old, took the first step and came to the Yuelai Inn at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.
