The world was originally in chaos, and the emperors of three dynasties in the Tianying Dynasty unified the world. The Ying Dynasty's national fortunes lasted for a hundred years. After that, the country's fortunes were in danger. The Zhao family took advantage of the situation and raised troops to replace the Ying Dynasty in the world.
The Zhao Dynasty was passed down for three hundred years. Although Zhao Dimu was benevolent, he was weak in character. All the princes were self-respecting mercenaries and attacked each other. The people were miserable. In the past few decades, eighty-nine of Zhao's lands were lost. In the troubled times, the princes were all in trouble. Hou Qiyuan was both civil and military, and defended Zhao loyally. In twenty years, he conquered the heroes, brought peace to the world, and returned power to Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao was impressed by Yunhou's virtues in defending the country, and granted Qiyuan the title of King Qiyun. territorial.
After King Qi Yun returned to power as Emperor Zhao, he was disarmed and returned to the fields, where he enjoyed farming every day in the fiefdom. King Qi Yun has two sons. The eldest son, Qi Lin, has unparalleled martial arts. He has already known the world of martial arts at a young age. He is also good at using soldiers and loves the people like a son. He assists Qi Yuan in managing the territory of Qi Yun in an orderly manner. He has a high prestige among Qi Yun's army. Although the prince Qi Shao was not as skilled in martial arts as his eldest brother, he was extremely resourceful and knew how to use people well. He recruited a group of outstanding talents for the Qi Yun fiefdom. Even Qi Yun King Qi Shao praised Qi Shao and called him Qi Shao. It will definitely be a good help for Qi Lin to take charge of Qi Yun in the future.
Although the world is peaceful, although these princes took advantage of the power of King Qi Yun and proclaimed themselves ministers to the Zhao family, secretly they still coveted the Zhao family in the world. The Hou Zong of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty were both outstanding people, and they were not willing to be inferior to Zhao. Under the emperor. There are also Xiongnu and Fusang from foreign countries who are eyeing the land of China. There is peace in Qiyun's fiefdom, but there is an undercurrent surging outside Qiyun's territory.
Time flies, Zhao Dimu passed away, and Prince Zhao Chi succeeded to the throne. Zhao Chi was hypocritical, suspicious, and fond of pleasure. When Emperor Zhao was there, Zhao Chi appeared to be courteous, virtuous, and courteous. After the death of Emperor Zhao, Zhao Chi succeeded to the throne, and his true colors were revealed. He indulged in sensuality all day long, ignored the government's affairs, and alienated the wise ministers in the court. The courtiers who were sycophants gradually came to power, and they expropriated and extorted money for Zhao Chi's enjoyment. Zhao Chi also enjoyed shooting alive people. Every spring hunting, he would send the palace guards to capture people into the hunting ground, distribute the skins of various animals, shoot them with bows and arrows, and take pleasure in killing people. After shooting the people, he would kill them alive. Heart and lungs, as a sobering decoction, it is cruel and cruel. Zhao Chi not only slaughtered living people for pleasure, but also believed in demons and conscripted boys and girls to make elixirs in an attempt to use the elixir to increase longevity. The people complained, and the already unstable Zhao family was even more shaky.
The following year, the Marquis Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty took the lead in raising troops to stand on his own initiative, and the Marquis Zong of the Northern Jin Dynasty also took advantage of the situation to stand on his own initiative. The Xiongnu in the northwest also took advantage of the chaos to attack, and for a time, military disasters broke out across the land of China, which was known as the "Rebellion of China" in history.
In order to protect the Zhao family and the people of Li, King Qi Yun wore cloud armor. King Qi Yun ordered his eldest son Qi Lin to lead the Tianyun Jingqi to send troops to the north to stop the Hou Zong clan of Jin. He led 50,000 Qi Yun troops to the capital, King Qin. , drove out the Xiongnu, and ordered his second son Qi Shao to lead the Tianyun Guard southward to reach the Tang Marquis Li family. From then on, Qi Yun's best troops came out. King Qi Yun led his troops to the border of Zhongzhou and defeated the Huns in Bianjing. After that, the Huns were defeated in several battles and retreated to the outside of Shanhaiguan. The Huns have retreated, and soon news of good news came from the north.
Qi Lin, the eldest son of King Qi Yun, led 50,000 Qi Yun Jingqi in a fierce battle with the Jin army's cavalry outside Liangzhou City. Although Qi Yun Jingqi fought bravely, the Jin cavalry was unstoppable. Qi Yun Jingqi fought fiercely for several days and suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the strength of the army was gradually weakening, Qi Lin followed Gu Jianyi's plan and ordered the remaining troops to march in three directions. The left army lured the enemy deep and was defeated. The right army took the trail to attack the Jin army's food and grass. The central army was on standby for the fire. At that time, he returned to the army to cover up the killing. Qi Lin personally led Qi Yun's martial arts master Gu Jianyi and three thousand fine cavalry to lie in wait in the unknown mountain outside Liangzhou City.
When Hou Zongyan of the Northern Jin Dynasty saw that Qi Yun's army was defeated and retreated, he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, so he personally led the Chinese army to pursue him. Qi Lin led Gu Jianyi and three thousand fine cavalry to ambush the army late at night. Qi Lin led three thousand Qi Yun's fine cavalry towards the center of the Jin army. Qi Lin immediately stood up, holding a plain crescent halberd, wearing iron cloud armor, and riding a curly green-maned horse. He took the lead and pointed his halberd at the sky. The roar resounded through the sky: "In troubled times, a man defends the country and defends the people. He wraps his body in horse leather and never returns. Soldiers, follow me to defeat the enemy!" Immediately, the horses entered the formation, and three thousand Qiyun Jingqi shouted in unison, "Destroy the enemy." , Defeat the enemy, never die!" He rushed into the main camp of the Jin army like a heavenly soldier. The Jin army was frightened by the sudden appearance of the enemy army. Fifty thousand cavalry could not stop it, and were defeated by three thousand Qi Yun's fine cavalry entered and exited the Chinese army's camp three times, but at this time, the retreating Qi Yun army appeared like a ghost in the rear of the Jin army, burning the food and grass supplies of the Jin army. The three armies of the Jin army were defeated. Zong Yan was seriously injured and escaped, and the Northern Jin army was lost. The general no longer wanted to fight, so he had to be defeated and return. Qi Lin took advantage of the situation and led his army to pursue Zong Yan's remnant army until the territory of the Northern Jin Dynasty. Only after receiving the military order from King Qi Yun did he lead his troops back.
After Zong Yan returned to Jin, he gathered the remaining troops, but he could only return ten to twenty-three. Qi Lin's battle was famous all over the world. The soldiers and civilians of the Northern Jin Dynasty were afraid when they heard Qi Lin's name. If a child kept crying at night, his parents would drink "Qi Lin is coming" and the child would stop crying. However, the three thousand Qi Yun Jingqi who followed Qi Lin to conquer the Northern Jin Dynasty only returned more than three hundred cavalry. These three hundred Qi Yun Jingqi were personally awarded Rongzhan by King Qi Yun. The three thousand Qi Yun Jingqi were given the military name "No Return". The fame of the "Never-Returning General" of the Non-Returning Army has spread throughout the world.
Qi Lin defeated the Northern Jin Dynasty, and King Qi Yun was ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing to face the saint, so he left General Wang Tian to guard Shanhaiguan to control the Huns. He joined forces with the eldest son Qi Lin and went to the capital of Zhao to face the saint. He was afraid that the large number of soldiers would violate the royal taboo. He ordered the general who accompanied the army to lead the rest of his troops back to Qiyun territory. He only took Qi Lin and a hundred personal guards with him to the capital to see him.
When Emperor Chi of Zhao heard that Qi Yun had sent troops to serve the king, he had driven away the Huns from China and defeated the Jin cavalry in the north. Now that he had won the victory, he entered the capital of Zhao to pay homage to him. He was overjoyed and led hundreds of officials to open the city gates and welcome King Qi Yun into the city. On the day of entering the city, The people of Zhaodu were grateful for King Qi Yun's kindness and spontaneously knelt down on both sides of the road to welcome King Qi Yun.
After King Qi Yun saw the emperor, he tried hard to advise Emperor Zhao that he should be diligent, love the people, be kind to the people, and respect the virtuous from afar. However, he did not know that these words made Emperor Zhao feel unhappy. He was afraid that King Qi Yun's great achievements would shock the emperor, and at the instigation of the sycophants , sentenced Qi Yuan and his son to the ten most unforgivable crimes, and wanted to kill King Qi Yun and his son. Qi Shao, the second son of Qi Yun, who was resisting the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was shocked when he heard the news that his father and brother were imprisoned by the Hunjun. He immediately sent envoys to Lord Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and finally drew the Ying River as the boundary with the Southern Tang Dynasty. The returning army wanted to advance. He went to Beijing to rescue his father and brother. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the army, he learned that Qi Yuan and Qi Lin had been killed in Zhaodu. Later generations called it the "Zhaodu Incident"
When Qi Shao heard that his father and brother had been killed, he was furious. He immediately summoned Qi Yun's army and raised troops in Zhongzhou to accuse the people of the world of Zhao's crimes. When the people heard about it, they joined Qi Yun's army one after another to resist Zhao Chi. Qi Yun's army was loved by the people and fought with blood wherever they went. , Zhao Jun guards in each city watched the wind and descended.
More than a month later, Qi Shao's troops arrived at the capital of Zhao. Seeing that the capital was besieged, Emperor Zhao still wanted to use the imperial guards to threaten the people to defend the city. Unexpectedly, the people in the city had already had a grudge against the Zhao family for a long time. The people attacked the defenders and stole the city. Qi Shao entered the Zhao capital without any soldiers. Seeing Qi Shao entering the city, the defenders of Zhao capital knelt down and surrendered. Emperor Chi of Zhao saw that the situation was over and knew what would happen if he fell into the hands of Qi Shao. He took advantage of his own weapons and massacred all the women and children in the harem before setting himself on fire in the imperial city.
The great vengeance of his father and brother had been avenged. Qi Shao found the bodies and buried his father and brother well. Hundreds of officials advised Qi Shao to ascend the throne and become emperor, but the second son Qi Shao refused to obey. They said that although his eldest brother Qi Lin was dead, his sister-in-law Xiao had just given birth to a son, and she wanted to welcome her nephew and take charge of the world. Unexpectedly, when the class teacher returned to Qiyun Zhongzhou, a sudden change occurred again. The remnants of the Zhao family actually sneaked into the Zhongzhou Prince's Mansion. Qi Lin's wife Xiao and Qi Lin's son were all killed. Qi Shao heard the bad news and fainted from his horse. Qi Yun The civil and military officials were all panicked and treated. After reaching the border of Zhongzhou, Qi Shao just woke up and arrived at Jianglin. Qi Shao ordered his sister-in-law and nephew to be buried generously. After repeated admonitions from all the officials, he had no choice but to accept the advice of all the officials, ascended the throne as emperor, and established the country. He was named Qi Yun. He named his father Qi Yuan as the ancestor of Qi, and his elder brother Qi Lin as Emperor Lin. He established his capital at Jianglin in Zhongzhou. He also made peace with the Southern Tang Dynasty and abided by the agreement between the Yingjiang River and the Southern Tang Dynasty to divide the river and rule it. Under the governance of Qi Shao, Qi Yun State stopped its troops and raised its people, and its national power became increasingly prosperous.
After Zong Yan returned to the country, he heard about the changes in the capital of Zhao. Qi Yuan and Qi Lin's father and son were killed. Qi Shao destroyed Zhao and ascended the throne to establish himself. He wanted to take advantage of Qi Yun's unstable state and start another war. Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured and died. Zong Yan's eldest son, Zong Wan, succeeded to the throne. Zong Yan was already engaged in military affairs during his lifetime. After Zong Wan succeeded to the throne, he followed the advice of the Northern Jin Dynasty's imperial advisor and founded the country named Jin. He also stopped fighting to support the people and waited for the opportunity to avenge his father.
Although the war in China has temporarily stopped and returned to peace, the martial arts in Qiyun, Northern Jin, and Southern Tang Dynasty still continued to fight secretly. Since the land of China, the way of martial arts has been passed down from generation to generation, whether it is "one sword to conquer China" in the chaos of China, or "knowing the master of heaven" in Qi Yun's Zhaodu rebellion, or Qi Jin's "No Return to the Mountain" During the war, "grand masters fought against immortals", several battles at the pinnacle of martial arts are still passed down orally in the martial arts of these countries. The way of martial arts is just like the saying passed down by people in the martial arts:
Exercise to strengthen your body and gain a first glimpse of Qi,
One entry-into-the-house weapon;
Knowing the state of being a master who defies destiny,
The world is shocked when the immortal comes to earth.
[Body training] [First glimpse] [Dengtang] [Weapons] [Knowledge of Heaven] [Grandmaster] [Exiled Immortal], these seven martial arts realms have also become the pursuit of martial arts people in the martial arts world. Anyone who practices martial arts, who I don't want to taste the supreme state of martial arts of knowing destiny, defying heaven, defeating masters, and banishing immortals, so that future generations can praise it from generation to generation, and become a legendary person who will leave his name in history.
——Eighteen years later——
Liangzhou City is a barrier city at the intersection of the middle and northern states of Qiyun Kingdom.
Bugui Mountain outside Liangzhou City was originally an unknown mountain. During the "Shenzhou Rebellion", the Northern Jin Dynasty supported its troops and established itself. One hundred thousand cavalry went south and broke into the territory of the Zhao Kingdom. It was like breaking bamboo all the way. In more than a month, it defeated the three counties of the Zhao Kingdom. The troops were directed towards Liangzhou City, the last barrier to Zhongzhou.
In the past, Qi Yun's "general Bugui" Qi Lin ambushed the mountain and defeated the Northern Jin Dynasty with three thousand fine cavalry. Later Qi Shao proclaimed himself emperor. In order to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war between Qi and Jin, he named the mountain "No Return Mountain". Time is like water, and the Mountain of No Return will eventually become peaceful with the years. Only in the cold winter, the sound of the howling winter wind is like It tells the story of the roar of war horses during the great battle between Qi and Jin.
The moon has reached the end of winter, the sky is cold and the ground is freezing. Heavy snowfalls cover the sky, making the night look like daylight. The outside of Liangzhou City is covered with deep snow. In the patches of snowy day, only the figure of a young man and a long string behind him can be seen. My footprints were walking alone against the wind in the wind and snow.
Fifty miles outside the city, there is no one left. This young man is wearing a dark-colored cloak, a dark green gown, and a leather girdle. His face is green but he has a perseverance that belies his age. The winter wind like a knife could not stop the boy's progress. The boy's sword eyebrows were frowned by the wind and snow, but his eyes under the sword eyebrows were as pure and bright as the starry sky. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the dimple appeared slightly on his lips, which was long and black. His hair and dark-colored cloak had been dyed white by the winter snow, and the winter wind like a knife would lift the cloak from time to time. The young man didn't care, and his breath was not disturbed at all, as if he couldn't feel the monstrous chill of God, and could only step into the deep snow. After making a "coo" sound and howling in the windy night and snowy weather, I realized that ordinary people would not be able to walk here in this weather.
I don’t know how long I walked, but it was almost midnight when the young man walked to the foot of No Return Mountain. He raised his head and looked into the mountain. His frowning eyebrows finally unfolded, and his dimples became more obvious. He smiled and said to himself: "Three years of experience and martial arts. It’s more touching that Master, Uncle Li, and Xiao’er have returned as scheduled.”
After saying this, the young man suddenly stood up from the snow. He looked like a lone eagle looking for food in the snow, and shot out like an arrow. There was no trace of where he stepped on the snow, which shows the high level of Qinggong. The young man used his true energy to fly into the air. After dozens of feet, his feet used the strength to step up again. In the mountain forest, only green clothes and black cloaks were seen walking through it. The trees beside him were only filled with snow, which was stirred up by the true energy. Only then did they realize that this young man was borrowing Moving with all his strength, the young man walked through the forest, but could not see his face clearly. If anyone in the world saw him at this moment, they would definitely praise him, "What a light kung fu." The young man used his true energy, borrowed his own strength, the strength of the snow, and the strength of the trees, and gradually entered the mountain using Qinggong. Seeing the deep forest and dense snow, in the blink of an eye, in this dense forest in the mountain, a light was faintly visible through the snow curtain.
The young man floated down on the tree next to him. He exercised his strength and exhaled. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, he heard a crackling sound in his ears. A look of alarm appeared on the young man's face. He saw the young man stepping on the tree and turned over, and heard a "dang" sound. , but when he stood up, he saw a hatchet sinking into the tree trunk he had just stood up on. The "shattering" sound he felt was the sound of the hatchet flying with great force. However, he saw that the hatchet was so powerful that it struck him hard. The trees rustled in the snow. Even though it was a hatchet, the remaining force of the blade still made the handle of the hatchet shake up and down. The snow on the treetops was scattered by the remaining force of the hatchet, falling like a curtain of snow in front of the boy. .
"What kind of expert is visiting the master's thatched cottage late at night?" A hoarse voice came through the snow with a chill in the snow.
When the young man heard the person speaking, his brows and eyes were filled with joy. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly felt a wave of air blowing towards his face. The air wave clung to the snow and formed a ball. Before he could get close, he felt the sky was filled with coldness. Seeing this, the young man was not in a hurry. Without slowing down, he cupped his hands and stepped back. At the same time, he used his energy to catch the oncoming snowballs. He cupped his hands and condensed his true energy, and the snowballs were immediately dispersed by the young man's true energy. The young man had just solved this troublesome snow ball, and his ears twitched slightly. He heard the hatchet on the tree trunk shaking and about to come out. With a "choking" sound, it shot out with tree debris, flying quickly like a boomerang. The young man remained motionless and turned his head slightly. The hatchet passed by the young man's cheek. The force of the knife did not scratch the young man at all. Just when the hatchet was about to pass over the young man, he saw the young man's figure turning sharply and his five fingers... He opened his cloak, turned around and wrapped the tail of his cloak around the blade of the hatchet. He glanced slightly at the snowdrift a few feet away. Using his five fingers and his Dantian to channel his true energy, he threw the hatchet away and shouted, "Show up."
The hatchet came out with true energy, flying towards the young man several times faster than just now. I saw the hatchet cutting through the snowy night, as if the night was torn into two by the hatchet, and the hatchet fired. Flying into the snowdrift that the young general aimed at instantly.
"boom".
The snowdrift exploded, and a black figure flew up from the snowdrift behind the broken snowdrift. The figure's hand was the hatchet reflected by the boy just now. The force of the knife was still dragging the figure, and the black figure borrowed the knife. The remaining energy flew up in a spin, one part was releasing the force, the other was borrowing the force. The figure released the force in the air, grasped the handle of the knife, stepped on the snow tree beside him, and used the force to stab the boy with the knife.
In an instant, the hatchet approached the young man's eyes. The young man kept his arms drooped and remained motionless. When the hatchet was about to hit his throat, he raised his foot and kicked the knife's spine. The black shadow held the knife and suddenly changed his moves and stabbed the young man's side. The hatchet's reversal changes from stabbing to cutting, and it cuts upwards from the ribs. This move changes so quickly that it only takes a blink of an eye. If it were an ordinary martial artist at the first glance, he would definitely avoid it and be hit by the knife.
When the young man saw this move, the smile on his lips became thicker, the dimple on his lips became thicker, and his eyes were full of joy. Although the smile was on his face, the young man calmly dealt with this sudden change of move. He saw the young man stepping on the power of seven stars and blinking. He actually took seven steps back in a row to avoid this critical blow. Seeing that the two swords missed, the black shadow swung the hatchet behind him without waiting for the boy to stand still, flew over and struck the boy directly in the face with his right palm. At this time, the young man praised: "You're good to go!". As he spoke, the black shadow's single palm arrived. The young man's mind was aligned, and he used his power to move his palms. His palms faced each other. There was a muffled sound of "bang" and an invisible wave of air. It burst out from the palms of the two people, and the surrounding snow was agitated by the two people's true energy. Just when the two palms faced each other, a black shadow's left hand suddenly came out, and the left hand turned into a fist and clawed, and grabbed it in the air. , the hatchet flew into the hand, and the shadow held the hatchet backwards, slashing horizontally towards the young man's abdomen... Seeing that the killing move was completed, the shadow couldn't help but smile "hehe".
Just now, the two palms stirred up snow in the air, covering their figures. When the snow settled, they could see their figures clearly. The boy and the black shadow appeared. The boy was unscathed. No one knew what happened to the boy just now. A fatal blow to avoid the shadow. After the swirling snow settled, the winner was decided. The thumb, ring finger, and little finger of the young man's left hand were clasped inwards toward the palm of his hand. His index and middle fingers formed a sword-like shape to seal the shadow's throat, and the five fingers of one hand formed claws to clasp the shadow. Holding the hatchet backwards on the Qiemen and Shenmen points of the wrist, the shadow has been defeated, the winner has been decided, and the atmosphere is as solidified as winter.
At this moment, I focused my eyes and saw the dark face. When I first saw this person, I was attracted by a horrific scar on his face. The scar looked like it had been there for decades, like a snake crawling from the eyebrow to the corner of the mouth. Although he has recovered, the man's aura has become a bit scary. There is a bit of gray in his black hair, and his sharp eyes are as sharp as knives. Even though he was defeated just now, there is no fear in his eyes. However, when he looks at the young man, there is a bit of fear in his eyes. Proud, somewhat consoling. This man is in his fifties, but his figure is as straight as a spear. He wears a short coat as black as ink, which is particularly eye-catching in the snowy night.
Only then did the black shadow laugh hoarsely and said: "Young Master, after three years of traveling, I didn't expect that my martial arts cultivation would improve so quickly."
