11. Cowardice
Li Shuxiu heard the predicament encountered by the knights in the past, and couldn't help but sweat for them. But inadvertently glanced at the goshawk, and saw that he clenched his fists and smiled at the corners of his mouth, which was quite suspicious of schadenfreude.
Curious, she whispered to him, "What are you laughing at?"
The goshawk shook his head and said in a lamented voice: "I laugh at these martial artists for having no blood, but they are really ignorant, although their martial arts are high, they don't know anything about the methods of advancing and retreating on the battlefield, although there are many people, they are like a plate of scattered sand." Ordnance and equipment are far from those of us soldiers. Fighting the Mongol Tatars in this way is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”
His voice was quite loud, Feng Yehua glared at him, and said angrily: "You weren't there at the time! At this moment, you are making nonsense and blowing nonsense, what kind of hero can you be regarded as a hero?"
The goshawk slapped the table, drew his long whip, and shouted: "What if I just let out a lot of nonsense? Lao Tzu has fought with the Mongols no less than a thousand times in his life, so he has never been as useless as you warriors!"
Li Shuxiu saw that although the goshawk looked angry, there was a faint smile on his lips, and after a little thought, he came to his senses. It turned out that he saw that Feng Yehua was strong in martial arts, so he tried every means to persuade him to use force with himself. It's also a lot of questions that I asked, and I fell for this bastard's strategy.
Feng Yehua really fell into the plan, stood up with a bang, and said hatefully: "We are useless? You are born to be beaten up? If you have a kind, let's compare and ......."
Goshawk laughed, and was about to agree, Li Shuxiu and Jiuying jumped up at the same time, one held down the goshawk, and the other grabbed Feng Yehua, both soft and hard, so that they finally persuaded the two to go back.
Feng Yehua's anger did not subside, and when he saw that the goshawk's eyes were rolling wildly, he seemed to have some ghost idea, and his heart was furious. Jiuying said softly: "My eldest brother is full of bad water, he is provoking you to use force with him." Brother Feng, you can't fall for his conspiracy. ”
Jiuying persuaded like this, Feng Yehua immediately obeyed and did not dare to disobey. He no longer glanced at the goshawk, suppressed his anger, and said to himself: "We are halfway through the battle with the Mongols, and Daoist Zhang Junbao sees that the battle situation is unfavorable, so he wants to rush into the thousands of troops in Fancheng, kill the enemy's main general, and cause the enemy's position to be chaotic. ”
Jiu Ying sighed: "If the situation is really so critical, although this method is risky, it is not impossible to solve the siege. But I don't know if Daoist Zhang Junbao has succeeded?"
Feng Yehua shook his head and said: "Although I am as famous as him, but I have shown my skills on the battlefield, I find that his martial arts are far superior to mine, Rao is so, he can't break through the encirclement of the Mongols and get close to the enemy generals."
Goshawk and Jiuying have both seen Feng Yehua's kung fu, and when they heard this, their faces were shocked, and Jiuying thought to himself: This Junbao martial arts is really so clever?
Feng Yehua continued: "Later, I saw Wusu Zen Master, Zhou Xingtian Daxia, and Qingcangzi Daxia work together to attack and break through the encirclement of 100,000 soldiers and horses. When we see such scenes, we only say that victory is in sight, and our morale is greatly boosted. ”
When everyone heard this, their spirits lifted and they cheered loudly, and Jiuying smiled and said: "Among the thousands of troops, the head of the general is taken, and these three masters are really worthy of their reputation, invincible, and heroic. ”
Only the goshawk shook his head again and again, and said: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and luck is extreme, although you succeed in one blow, you may not be able to do any good." ”
The Crack Rong gang listened to his words, and they all complained that he was frustrated, but Feng Yehua did not refute it, and said bitterly: "As soon as the Mongolian general died, the deputy general immediately took over the command of the army, and these Mongolian Tatars seemed to be crazy in an instant, and one by one they increased their strength on the battlefield, and the offensive came like a tide. We were in disarray, and they beat us to pieces, and we were defeated and retreated. And the three masters were also trapped in thousands of troops, although Zhou Daxia used the 'Demon Sound Qi Wall' kung fu to block the enemy's arrows, but the three of them were already in a desperate situation. ”
When he said this, his expression was abrupt, his throat choked, and he choked for a moment.
Jiu Ying asked, "What happened later?"
Feng Yehua said: "Seeing that they were on the verge of despair, Zhou Xingtian sacrificed his life to take righteousness, and used a strange magic skill to detonate his own flesh and blood and turn into a cloud of blood mist. This blood mist seemed to contain a high degree of poison, killing hundreds of Tartars in an instant, and it seemed to be sentient, escorting the other two heroes all the way through the enemy formation and returning to the formation. The men rose up and temporarily repelled the Mongol Tatars, but almost all of them were wounded, exhausted, and almost unsustainable. ”
Goshawk said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, in such a situation, you can't even escape." If you kill the commander of the enemy army, the Tartars will hate you to the core, and they will surely send a great army to pursue you. If you turn around and flee, you will be killed by the crossbows of the Mongol cavalry. ”
Feng Yehua's eyes were red, and he actually shed tears, and he sighed: "Your martial arts seniors know that it is difficult to escape, so they simply propose to let us juniors escape, in order to keep the incense and try to do great things." So they rushed to the battle, blocking the enemy's army, and the Qingcangzi seniors escorted dozens of us all the way to escape from the battlefield. ”
When everyone heard that he had actually become a deserter, they couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, and some people muttered and spoke coldly at the moment. Who knew that the goshawk praised: "This is the so-called 'endure humiliation and burden, lie down and taste courage' wisdom and bravery." You are alive, but it is much more difficult than choosing to die in battle. I, Goshawk, have always looked down on you people in the rivers and lakes, and there are many offends in my words, and I hope that Brother Feng will forgive me. His voice trembled, and it was evident that his heart was agitated and sincere.
Feng Yehua was greatly moved, and hurriedly said: "Brother Cang, where do you say this? There is nothing wrong with what you said, although our warriors have made great efforts to help, not only did they not help, but they were so tired that the defenders of Fancheng went out of the city to respond, and were caught by the Mongolian Tartars and broke the city in one fell swoop. In this case, we are all sinful people. ”
Jiu Ying asked, "Brother Feng, what happened later?"
Feng Yehua sighed: "Later, our juniors and Qingcangzi's predecessors were separated on the battlefield, but fortunately, no one was left behind. Let's go over the mountains and far away from the battlefield. When we are in a safe place, we will say goodbye to each other and make a vow to fight the enemy together in the future. But who knew that after the Mongol Tatars broke through Xiangfan, they sent several large armies to pursue separately and exterminate the Jiangnan Wulin, which was already greatly injured.
I still haven't figured it out, these Tartars seem to know how to find the location of various sects, slaughtering Jiangnan martial arts people all the way, and they are ruthless. Almost all of my relatives and friends died in the battle of Fancheng, and the Tartar soldiers walked quickly, and within a few days they quietly came to my villa, I was not lightly injured, and could not resist, so I could only escape from the secret passage of the villa, all the way to the Western Regions, and finally fell into the vulture gang and became a horse thief. ”
After listening to him, everyone sighed and sighed with emotion. Jiu Ying said gloomily: "The world has fallen, and we martial artists can't stay out of it. It is also the fate of our Han nationality, although I am aggrieved, I am helpless at this time. But we, hot-blooded men and patriots, can't let the Mongolian Tartars be arrogant and domineering, and one day, we will let the Mongolian Tartars taste the taste of destroying the country. ”
The county lord of Jiuhe was full of feelings when she heard it, but she had a deep love for Jiuying, and she couldn't help herself, although she was entangled, she didn't complain about him.
When the goshawk heard this, he only felt that his heart was shaking, and there were thousands of thoughts in his head, so he suddenly jumped forward and bowed down in front of Jiuying, Jiuying was startled, and hurriedly helped the goshawk and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
The goshawk shouted: "Second brother, just say a few words to you, and my goshawk's life will be handed over to you." From now on, although I am your brother-in-law, I am also your subordinate, and I will do whatever you want me to do, that is, I will go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and there will be no complaints. ”
Seeing him like this, Li Shuxiu hurriedly bowed down in his appearance, and said, "Second brother, I will be with my eldest brother and let you send you." ”
Jiuying hugged the two of them, tears filled with tears, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said emotionally: "Big brother, third sister, from now on, the three of us will go to the world together, plot big things, and never separate each other again, which is in response to the sentence 'share blessings and difficulties'." ”
Seeing that the three of them were so righteous, the Mingjiao sect couldn't help but praise each other and applaud the three of them.
At that moment, Jiuying instructed the chef to serve the dishes, and after listening to the story for a long time, everyone was already hungry, so they feasted and talked about wine.
Li Shuxiu saw that the table was full of all kinds of vegetarian dishes, and felt slightly strange in his heart, and asked the goshawk softly: "Are these Mingjiao disciples vegetarians?"
Goshawk nodded and said, "They worship Mingzun and only eat vegetarian dishes." You see that they are so thin and pitiful, because they don't eat meat. ”
Li Shuxiu snorted, couldn't help but glance at the fat Tang Zuo, and said, "Then they are somewhat similar to the monks who believe in Buddhism." ”
As he was talking, he saw those bewitching women come to the banquet, joking with the believers, hugging, kissing, and kissing, and their expressions were very charming. They let everyone touch and touch, their faces are delicate, and they are very confused, emotional, and confused.
The county lord of Jiuhe and Li Shuxiu were still untrained girls, and when they saw such a scene, they only felt red and trembling, and they couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with this place.
Li Shuxiu asked the goshawk again: "Since they believe in Buddhism, why are they so nonsense?"
Goshawk snorted and said softly, "I have heard that although the people of the teachings are forbidden to talk about the desires of the tongue, they are extremely indulgent in lust and desire. When I saw it today, it was true. ”
It was also more than a hundred years ago that in order to strengthen the power of the sect, a leader of the Ming Sect in Middle Earth followed the practice of the Assasin Sect founded by the old man in the mountains of the Western Regions, seduced the world with beautiful women, introduced them into the sect, fed them intoxicating anesthetics, made them feel comfortable, and persuaded them to relive in the prospect of heaven. After coming and going, the world is very susceptible to bewitchment, and from then on, he has been dead set on the sect leader and Mingzun, and sworn to follow him to the death.
Therefore, there are many seductive women in the Ming religion, often as a reward, serving the devout believers, passionate and debauched, and without shame. Polyandry is commonplace, and the congregation rarely quarrels over it, which is evident from the ecstasy of the teachings. Since then, this tradition has been passed down and has been preserved to this day.
When the Yuan Dynasty slaughtered the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River, the Mingjiao Middle Earth forces were affected, and the elite were killed and wounded, leaving only some handout elders who were not still strong in force, Yesseni was one of them, after he succeeded as the head of the sect, he led the people to avoid the Central Plains and came to the grassland of the Western Regions, fearing that everyone would not be able to bear the bitterness, and spared no effort to carry forward and promote this absurd tradition, so he used it to win people's hearts and appease the emotions of the sect.
