Chapter 1 The Tiger Roars and the Nine Heavens Roar the Rivers and Lakes
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the canal, the imperial court in order to catch up with the construction period, the laborers built the river day and night under the hospitality of the officers and soldiers, and the people of Li were even more miserable throughout the country, and the taxes were heavier.
A strange thing happened on a dark night, that night suddenly lightning and thunder and torrential rain poured down, only to pour the laborers to run in all directions and have nowhere to hide, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and then a huge thunder shook the people and shuddered, and after the thunder, in the middle of the river, a red light pierced the darkness and rushed to the sky.
A few bold laborers trembled to the glow, and the courage to pick up the mud, suddenly appeared in front of everyone a bronze treasure box, the overseers present were overjoyed, and felt that the opportunity to be crowned an official had come, in order to be promoted and rewarded, the treasure box was snatched from the hands of the laborers, and the treasure box was presented to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty overnight.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was suspicious by nature, suspecting that the overseer was sent by the thief to follow Cao Cao's offering a knife to assassinate the king, and pushed this unlucky guy out and cut it without asking.
After the guy was cut, Yang Guang twisted his beard and looked at the rusty bronze box for a long time, pouted his lips and asked the little eunuch to open it, the little eunuch led the order cautiously to the front of the box, the moment the box was opened, a red light crossed the front of the person and rushed to the sky, Yang Guang was startled at first and then tentatively walked towards the box, and when he got closer, he found that a tungsten steel sword and a gold ribbon appeared there.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty held the sword waist with a gold ribbon and danced, and gradually felt that his original weak body had an indescribable power, and in the following days Yang Guang loved this pair of treasures, in order to show his civil and military skills, Yang Guang often danced swords and chanted poems in front of the ministers, and the increase in physical strength made him have the capital to show his majesty in the harem of three thousand beauties, and gradually alienated the government, but the good times did not last long, and within a few years, the soldiers and horses led by Li Shimin captured the imperial city and killed the faint king, and there was no trace of the treasure・・・・・・
It has always been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Yang Guang's tungsten steel sword and gold ribbon contain the rare treasures that Yang Guang paid tribute to from the vassal kings from all over the country, the burial map and the martial arts secret book "Nine Heavens Xuanling**".
This Nine Heavens Xuanling ** has the mysterious power of rejuvenation, and every time he practices to the highest level, his life will start from scratch, and his skills will be doubled, but if he doesn't practice properly, he will go mad, and even lose his life.
Regarding the whereabouts of the two treasures, legend has it that Yang Guang's most trusted little eunuch Gao Lishi took advantage of the chaos to take them out of the palace, but where he went has become a mystery.
In the blink of an eye, the great Sui Jiangshan has been destroyed for a hundred years, at this time there was a couple of martial arts supreme lovers in the rivers and lakes, the two of them dressed up in the Western Regions, about fifty years old, and then they have reached the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, but they are still full of red light, walking like flying, the man is carrying a tungsten steel sword, the sword body is carved with a saber-toothed tiger, along the sword body is the tail of the tiger, the tiger's tail is not biased and does not fall on the hilt of the tungsten steel sword, the tiger's two teeth fall side by side at the front end of the tungsten steel sword, this tungsten steel sword is also called "tiger roaring sword".
The woman is tied with a pair of blue and red ribbons around her waist, and the ribbon shows a nine-day phoenix and a golden jade unicorn, and the two spirit beasts echo each other, vividly, and it seems that the woman's waist ornament is actually a woman's weapon "unicorn satin", also known as "nine days unicorn satin".
The "Tiger Roaring Sword" and "Kirin Satin" are actually from the hands of the two gods of antiquity.
Legend Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor period of demons, Li people live in dire straits, Xuanyuan Emperor in order to save all living beings and the sea of suffering, after nine hundred and eighty-one days of unremitting efforts finally practiced the demon majestic "Xuanyuan Sword", strange is that Xuanyuan Sword is about to be practiced on the day, accompanied by Emperor Xuanyuan's mount saber-toothed tiger without saying goodbye, Emperor Xuanyuan sent people to find, and finally found this mount in the sword furnace, it turned out that this saber-toothed tiger is spiritual, in order to give "Xuanyuan Sword" Increase the power at the expense of his own body, after three circles around the master's body, he jumped into the blazing sword furnace, and the sword-toothed tiger's fiery body rushed out of the sky above the sword-casting furnace, and with a loud bang, the "Xuanyuan Sword" was born.
Emperor Xuanyuan got this sword and the protection of the soul of the saber-toothed tiger, and pierced the demon's cave with a sword on the battlefield, and with the disappearance of the Xuanyuan sword, the demon was finally suppressed.
It is also strange to say, one day Emperor Xuanyuan dreamed late at night, dreamed of the saber-toothed tiger of the past, Emperor Xuanyuan followed the saber-toothed tiger to the sword-casting furnace of the past, only to see the saber-toothed tiger jumped into the air, and the moment it landed, sparks were everywhere, and after the sparks dissipated, Emperor Xuanyuan fixed his eyes to see that the place where the saber-toothed tiger landed just now appeared a sharp weapon with a length of three feet and three feet and a width of one inch, like a sword and not a sword, and the sharp weapon exudes a red light around the body, blazing and pressing.
On the second day, Emperor Xuanyuan immediately ordered his subordinates to rebuild the sword-casting furnace to commemorate the saber-toothed tiger, and when it was being repaired, someone suddenly came to report, saying that a weapon was found in the depths of the sword-casting furnace, and Emperor Xuanyuan remembered the dream last night, and went to check it in person, but when the weapon was presented in front of Emperor Xuanyuan, he suddenly let out an exclamation, which was the tungsten steel sword he saw in the dream.
In order to commemorate the loyal and righteous mount, Emperor Xuanyuan named this tungsten steel sword "Tiger Roaring Sword".
This "unicorn satin" is woven by the gods, according to legend, after Pangu opened the world, the world was silent, Nuwa Niangniang did not want the world to be too quiet, so she used yellow clay to pinch out a lot of clay sculptures according to her own pattern, and gave them life, and then the yellow clay had an aura and became a human touch.
People live and work in peace and contentment under the teachings of Nuwa Niangniang, the four seas sing and dance, so that the peace is not long, there is a great chaos in the fairy world, the Gonggong in charge of the flood of the heavenly realm rebelled in order to earn the throne, in order to suppress the Gonggong rebellion, the heavenly realm sent the fire god Zhu Rong to suppress it, after a few days of the war, the Gonggong was finally defeated by the powerful force of the Vulcan, all the way to the Western world, the water god was unwilling to resist tenaciously, and finally died on the pillar Buzhou Mountain of the West Heavenly Gate with hatred.
Gonggong's head hit really hard enough, the hit made the sky shake, itself supported the sky and the earth only four pillars, by his hit there were only three left, instantly the sky collapsed, the poles were reversed, Kyushu was cracked, the sky fell to the northwest, the earth fell to the southeast, flooded, the fire spread, and the people were displaced.
The creatures on land were helpless by this sudden catastrophe and wiped out a large part of them.
Seeing that her people were in the midst of a great calamity, Nuwa was very concerned and summoned her mount, the Nine Heavens Xuanfeng, and the spirit pet Golden Jade Qilin to come to the world to check on them.
In order to save Li Min and water and fire, Nuwa Niangniang planned to refine stones to make up for the sky, and she chose Tiantai Mountain, a fairy mountain on the sea beyond the East China Sea.
Nuwa piled boulders on the top of Tiantai Mountain as a furnace, took the five-colored soil as the material, and borrowed the sun divine fire, which lasted nine days and nine nights, refining 36,498 five-colored boulders, and then lasted nine days and nine nights, and used 36,498 multicolored stones to make up the sky.
When I made up the sky, I found that there were two empty places in the sky but did not make up for it, which was difficult for Nuwa Niangniang, and I was afraid that it would be too late to refine the stone, seeing the flood in the sky flowing to the cholera creatures on the earth, at this moment, the Nine Heavens Xuanfeng and the Golden Jade Qilin that turned into human form leaped away and turned into two multicolored stones and blocked the two holes. Leaving only the feathers of the Nine Heavens Xuanfeng and the scales of the golden jade unicorn on the ground, Nuwa Niangniang missed her beloved mount and spiritual pet, and after three days and three nights of preparation, the feathers of the Nine Heavens Xuanfeng and the scale armor of the golden jade unicorn were woven into a golden ribbon with the silk thread spit out by the golden silkworm and named it "Nine Heavens Qilin Satin"
There is also a legend that in ancient times, the demons suppressed under the Shu Mountain broke through the shackles and made chaos in the world, just when the world was about to be occupied by them, two divine weapons appeared, they are the Tiger Roaring Sword and the Nine Heavens Qilin Satin, some people saw the strange scene of the combination of the two divine weapons, when they merged all the demons and monsters turned into ashes in an instant, but this is just a legend, whether it is true or false is impossible to investigate.
Two legendary treasures, not to mention getting two, even if you can see the true face in your life, I am afraid it is even more difficult, according to legend, whoever gets one of them can shock the world, rule the rivers and lakes, and make all the people submit.
There is also a legend that the two divine weapons contain a martial arts secret book that makes the martial arts heroes salivate - the highest martial arts in the martial arts "Nine Heavens Xuanling**".
How did the two treasures fall into the hands of the two people from the Western Regions now?
The legendary "Tiger Roaring Sword" and "Nine Heavens Kirin Satin" have reappeared in the rivers and lakes after sinking for a hundred years, which may bring a lot of shock to the rivers and lakes that have been calm for a long time.
The couple finally came to an inn, looked up at the old but still eye-catching plaque of "Renhe Inn" above the inn, and walked in side by side. asked for a few plates of side dishes and a pot of good old wine, the man was bold "knock, knock, knock" drank a heart, from the words and deeds to see that the couple is very affectionate, I saw that the man did not forget to pour tea and water for his wife when he drank, and the woman watched the husband drink and eat meat with affection, and helped to add water and vegetables from time to time.
Renhe Inn is not a big business, but the business is booming, the child is busy drinking and drinking, the shopkeeper is even smiling to welcome the customer, and his hands have been stuffed with broken silver in a blink of an eye.
A table of guests in the corner of the inn was discussing something important.
It turns out that the martial arts conference once every eight years is about to be held in the hinterland of the Central Plains Luoyang Fengyu Town, when the six major factions and the three major villas will come to fight the male and female, every eight years of the martial arts conference is not only the competition of the various major factions, but also to negotiate to solve the various disputes that have occurred in the martial arts in the past eight years, all kinds of contradictions in the rivers and lakes will also be resolved in this conference, and finally to promote a highly respected, martial arts first Jianghu chivalrous warrior as the leader of the martial arts alliance, who wants to get the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, will hold high the banner of the martial arts order to order the world, all factions in the world see the flag as if to see the alliance leader, if there is not from the alliance master of the command of the world heroes to get punished。
The current leader of the martial arts alliance is Lin Liefeng, Wudemen of Luoyang Fengyu Town, Lin Liefeng has been in power for eight years, and the rivers and lakes have been calm for eight years.
The guests in the corner were talking about the upcoming martial arts conference, and these two people from the Western Regions were also listening to their words intentionally or unintentionally. From time to time, they look at each other and talk to each other, as if they are exchanging something.
A young man in the inn had already noticed the two people from the Western Regions, and his alert eyes stared at the "Tiger Roaring Sword" and "Kirin Satin" on the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, the young man gestured to the entourage beside him, leaned into his ear and muttered a few words, and the two entourages nodded and left the inn.
In a moment, two thieves came in at the door of the kung fu store, and as soon as they entered the door, they stared at the money bag on the waist of the foreigner from the Western Regions, and slipped to them by taking the opportunity of other guests to come and go, and half of their feet fell under the knee of the female guest.
Just as he was about to get angry, two young people broke into the door, one was twenty-six or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a green cloth short coat, a bronze sword hanging on the right, a milky white jade pendant on the left, and a red money bag in his hand was looking at the people of the Western Regions, this young man was Zhou Yuping, the chief disciple of Lin Liefeng of Wude Gate in Fengyu Town.
The other person was the kid who had just been rescued by the female guest, and he was depressed by Zhou Yuping's ears and begged repeatedly.
Lin Liefeng's big disciple in Fengyu Town no one knows who doesn't know, in the town is famous for fighting grievances and being keen to help others, and he pays attention to his own reputation and integrity, and his martial arts are even better, and the biggest advantage is that he never leaks out, and never brags about his ability in front of people.
When he was fighting with the Cardinal Sect of Rongtianling, he put Tang Wood, the second son of the Cardinal Sect Master, to death with one move, and then became famous.
Although it is rumored that Zhou Yuping designed to defeat Tang Wude, the Cardinal Sect is a cult recognized by the world in the rivers and lakes, and it does all kinds of evil, plus Zhou Yuping's master Lin Liefeng is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is all given a little thin face, so the righteous people still acquiesced to Zhou Yuping's achievements.
The money bags of the people of the Western Regions were lost and recovered, and they were very grateful to Zhou Yuping, and introduced themselves with their fists: "The old man Mo Hongyan thanked the young man for his help, and asked the young man to drink two cups together, I don't know what the young man is called?"
Zhou Yuping naturally didn't dare to slack off: "Zhou Yuping, a disciple of the junior Wude Sect, has seen the two seniors, could it be that the predecessor is Mo Hongyan Mo of the mighty world and the tiger roaring in Kyushu?
Mo Hongyan said: "Happy, please"
The three of them sat down in turn, and I poured tea and drank it so happily.
Mo Hongyan was originally a bold person, and Duan Niang was also gentle and considerate, and when she went out to the Central Plains, she got acquainted with the disciple of the world's first sect of martial arts, and she couldn't help but be very happy in her heart.
At this moment, a woman in Tsing Yi ran in, the girl had a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars, with a sword at her waist, and a youthful and lively atmosphere around her body, she was Lin Shengxue, the eldest lady of Wudemen.
Lin Shengxue saw Zhou Yuping and smiled slightly, and came straight to Zhou Yuping, "Senior Brother Ping, it's getting late, Daddy wants you to go back, and you have something important to discuss", and the tone of her voice seemed to be a little love, and even a little squeamish.
Zhou Yuping naturally did not dare to slack off when he received the summons of the master, and then invited Mo Hongyan and his wife to go to Wudemen as guests together, Mo Hongyan and his wife came to Luoyang for the first time, and they did not know the details of Wudemen, and they did not dare to go rashly, and said: "Old man, I have other things to do, it is inconvenient to disturb today, he will definitely visit the little brother's mentor in person one day, and I hope that the little brother will not embarrass my old man." After a few people were polite, Zhou Yuping followed the little junior sister out of the inn.
Zhou Yuping and his junior sister Lin Shengxue walked halfway, Zhou Yuping seemed to remember something, hurriedly stopped, held Lin Shengxue's shoulders with both hands, and said affectionately, "Senior sister, you go back first, I have something left in the inn, I will come when I go"
Lin Shengxue has always been obedient to her brother's words, looked at Zhou Yuping affectionately and nodded, didn't think much about walking home alone, Zhou Yuping looked at Lin Shengxue and disappeared into sight to be relieved.
In the grove by the river in Fengyu Town, a masked man turned his back to the flowing river, and there were two people kneeling on the riverside, and they looked at the two thieves in the inn just now, saying that he was a thief, and to put it bluntly, they were just two gangsters, and the two gangsters were respectfully and cautiously talking behind the man in black, and it seemed that they were very afraid of the man in black, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would be sent to the king of Hades.
The man in black said, "Have the two people from the Western Regions inquired clearly?"
The two gangsters saw that the opportunity to invite merit had arrived, and they rushed to report to the man in black, "The little one has figured it out, the weapons on the two of them are the legendary Tiger Roar Sword and the Nine Heavens Qilin Satin, and the little one also knows that the two of them live in the Renhe Inn."
The two gangsters made a report word by word, and after listening to it, the man in black seemed to think of something and said: "Don't worry, I will treat your family well."
After listening to the words of the man in black, the two boys were suddenly frightened, and they couldn't stop nodding and begging for mercy, just when they begged for mercy, a sharp sword came out, and before they finished speaking, the sword had cut their throats, and the two of them stared at the man in black in horror and fell to the river, the man in black still had his back to the river, and took off the veil on his face, it turned out that he was Zhou Yuping・・・・・・
How could Zhou Yuping let them go, if this matter spread today, he would be ruined, not to mention the upcoming position of the head, for Zhou Yuping, as long as he kept his image in the eyes of his master, let alone let Mo Hongyan not realize his motives, it was very important.
In his ideological concept, the key to doing great things is to be cautious, what is it to kill a few people? In Renhe Inn, Zhou Yuping had already recognized the Tiger Roaring Sword and Qilin Satin on Mo Hongyan and Lu Satin Niang, but how could they get close to them and fight hard to snatch them? Then Zhou Yuping was afraid that he would not be their opponent, and he would also ruin his reputation, so he made a plan and found two street gangsters to approach Mo Hongyan and his wife, and then there was a scene in the inn.
