From then on, Wang Lun and Xiao Wu stayed at Chai Jin's Haoran Villa. During this period, Wang Lun also mentioned that Zhou Tong, the master of the Qilin Sect, wanted him to wait for him at the Qilin Sect in Tangyin, Henan, so that he could heal his injuries.
Chai Jin felt that Wang Lun did not need to go to Qilin Gate, so he wrote a letter in person and sent it to his father on the anti-Liao front line, asking his father to find Zhou Tong and inform Zhou Tong that Wang Lun was already living in Haoran Village. Next, when the war was over, he invited Zhou Tong to come to Haoran Village and heal Wang Lun's wounds in the village.
Soon the front line replied, saying that the owner of Chai Lao Village had found Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong also agreed to come to Haoran Village to treat Wang Lun's injuries after the war. At the same time, the letter from the owner of Chai Lao Village also introduced the battle situation on the front line and said directly that Zhou Tong Dong used his troops like a god and used ambush tactics to defeat the Liao army. Now he has joined forces with Liang Zhongshu, the governor of Hebei Jiedu, and is preparing to take advantage of the victory to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army.
It turns out that since Wang Lun and Xiao Wu left Shuangqi Town, Zhou Tong led the anti-Liao rebel army to the front line to fight the Liao army. Later, the rebel army led by Chai Lao Zhuang also joined them.
Zhou Tong led the anti-Liao rebels. He first used the arrogance strategy to let the rebels engage in battle with the Liao army. However, they were bound to lose in every battle. They lost sixteen battles in a row. This made the Liao army very arrogant and thought that the anti-Liao rebels were unworthy. hit.
Zhou Tong saw that the arrogant enemy's plan was completed, so he adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the valley. He led 50,000 Liao troops into a valley called Funiuyu and set up pocket formations. After the Liao troops entered the ambush circle, Zhou Tong Immediately, ambushes were set up everywhere, killing more than 20,000 Liao troops in one battle. Only because the number of anti-Liao rebels was too small, the remaining Liao troops were able to break through and escape.
It was not until this time that Liang Zhongshu, the governor of Hebei Province, arrived with his troops and joined forces with the anti-Liao rebels. Liang Zhongshu saw that Zhou Tong was a master of military affairs, so he sincerely invited Zhou Tong to be his military advisor. Zhou Tong did not refuse and immediately He led the army to continue to pursue the Liao army, and has now pushed back the Liao army for more than 200 miles.
Since then, letters have continued to bring back the battle situation on the front line, and the anti-Liao rebels have won successive victories. This is all due to Zhou Tong's strategizing. Until a year later, the war between Song and Liao was calmed down, and the Song army won a great victory. During this period, the Song Dynasty court Envoys were also sent to negotiate with the Liao Kingdom.
However, the Song envoys who participated in the negotiations were extremely incompetent. Under the good situation of the Song army's continuous victory, they actually groveled and took the initiative to seek peace from the Liao Kingdom, which made the Liao Kingdom arrogant and did not mention the invasion of the Song Dynasty and the plundering of the Song people. , and actually asked for compensation from the Song Dynasty.
The Song envoy actually agreed in full, and finally the two countries signed an agreement. The border between Song and Liao would not change, and the Song Dynasty would double its annual tribute to Liao. In addition, it would provide 30 million dans of grain to Liao. Disaster relief, the war between the two countries disappeared.
But the tribute coins and grains will naturally fall on the people of the Song Dynasty. In order to complete the task, taxes will have to be increased. Officials at all levels and localities will naturally take the opportunity to exploit the people even more, making the people miserable. , the people were miserable.
After the war, Zhou Tong returned to Haoran Village with Master Chai Lao. Zhou Tong also immediately checked on Wang Lun's injuries. However, it had been a year, and Wang Lun's injuries to his meridians had already become serious and difficult to recover from. Although Zhou Tong tried his best to treat Wang Lun's injuries, it had no effect in the end.
Wang Lun saw that the matter had come to this point and had no choice but to let it go. After thinking about it, he realized that the world is huge and there are countless kinds of knowledge. To obtain new knowledge, the best way is to read. Since everything has to start over, let’s start with reading.
Wang Lun made up his mind to make another plan. He also knew that Chai Jin had quite a collection of books at home. After learning about Chai Jin, he plunged into the library and immersed himself in studying. The Chai family was a powerful family with a profound heritage. There were a lot of books at home, and there were thousands of volumes of books in the library, covering everything. From then on, Wang Lun wandered in the sea of books every day, increasing his knowledge and learning in his mind.
Seeing Wang Lun's open-mindedness and tenacity, Zhou Tong taught him the Qilin Sect's military strategy, the knowledge of Qi Sect's armor formations, and the art of moving heaven and earth. Only then did Wang Lun know that the Qilin Sect was indeed derived from the pre-Qin philosophers. The ghost valley of the family is everywhere.
And the Zongheng lineage has never been annihilated. It's just that in the prosperous times, Zongheng's disciples would hide among the mountains and rivers, unknown to the world. However, whenever the world is in chaos, Zongheng's disciples will come out to protect the Ming Lord and help the country. Save all people in the world from water and fire.
Over the past thousands of years, in all dynasties, heroes from the Zongheng lineage have emerged in large numbers. For example, Han Xin, the military immortal among the three outstanding heroes in the early Han Dynasty, is said to be a descendant of the military strategist. In fact, they do not know that Han Xin is actually a disciple of Zongheng.
Another example is Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Fazheng, and Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. Li Jing and Xu Ji of the Tang Dynasty were all descendants of Zongheng. Zhao Pu, the famous founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and general Shi Shouxin were also of the Zongheng lineage.
It's just that the successors of Zongheng always abide by the ancestral precepts of their masters and never reveal their own inheritance to the outside world, so they are not known to the world.
Wang Lun also proposed to worship Zhou Tong as his teacher, but Zhou Tong laughed and refused. He only said that he had no relationship with Wang Lun as a teacher and disciple, and he only wanted to be a lifelong friend with Wang Lun. Wang Lun had no choice but to do so. Give up.
Zhou Tong lived in Haoran Village for five years. During this period, he recruited all three of his direct disciples to the village. Wang Lun had met Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong, and the third disciple was Lin Chong. He was just thirteen years old at the time, with a leopard head and eyes, and was extremely powerful.
When he saw Lin Chong, Wang Lun felt happy in his heart. It seemed that history had really changed. If he had known Lin Chong so early, how could he let Lin Chong go against him and then make him angry? It’s not like you’re stupid enough to live in grandma’s house.
From then on, Wang Lun, Chai Jin, Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Lin Chong and others were all in the same place. Zhou Tong taught him according to his aptitude, gave personal guidance and taught him Wen Tao and martial arts. Even Xiao Wu was personally enlightened by Zhou Tong. Wang Lun The knowledge and cultivation of others are all getting better and better day by day.
However, what others didn't expect was that Zhou Tong actually accepted Xiao Wu as his disciple. This move made Wang Lun very puzzled, but he couldn't ask more questions and could only be happy for Xiao Wu.
Wang Lun, Lu Junyi and others were together day by day, and their relationship became deeper and deeper. At Wang Lun's suggestion, they all formed brothers with different surnames. Later, Xiao Wu also joined in. Among them, Wang Lun was the eldest and was the eldest brother. The following are Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Chai Jin, and Lin Chong. Xiaowu is the youngest, so she is the younger sister.
During the sworn ceremony, Wang Lun secretly looked at Lin Chong, thinking that now that we are sworn brothers, let’s see how you still have the nerve to get angry with me.
Five years later, Zhou Tong led his disciples and left. Wang Lun and Chai Jinku could not keep him. Before leaving, Zhou Tong presented Wang Lun with three volumes of books titled "Ling Yunzhi". Zhou Tong told Wang Lun this Ling Yunzhi is the essence of what he has learned throughout his life, and it contains strategies for rectifying chaos and governing the world. If Wang Lun understands it carefully, it will be of great use in the future.
Zhou Tong also told Wang Lun that although it is difficult for Wang Lun to advance in martial arts, he should not give up just yet. It is now impossible to treat Wang Lun's meridians injuries with external force alone, but if there is an internal skill, With Wang Lun's own cultivation, it is quite possible to regulate and open up his own meridians from the inside out.
It's just that he has never heard of any master in the world who has such internal skills and mental methods. Therefore, Zhou Tong decided to go out to visit his teachers and friends to seek such mental methods for Wang Lun. If he couldn't find it, he would create this mental method himself. After conferring the title to Wang Lun, he drifted away. Wang Lun, Chai Jin, and Xiao Wu cried and said goodbye.
One year later, Wang Lun bid farewell to Chai Jin and left Haoran Village to travel around the world. Chai Jin also wanted to join hands with Wang Lun to join the world, but the old owner of Chai Village was old and sick. In recent years, the family Chai Jin was already in charge of most of the things in the family, and since he couldn't escape, Wang Lun had no choice but to venture into the world alone. However, Xiao Wu was still young, so he still stayed in the village and was taken care of by Chai Jin.
Wang Lun first entered the martial arts world. Although his martial arts skills were not very high, he was generous and chivalrous, helping those in danger and those in need. He was also knowledgeable and talented, and he made a name for himself not long after his debut.
And because Wang Lun liked to wear white clothes every day, and he was very knowledgeable and good at both civil and military affairs, his friends in the arena gave Wang Lun the nickname "White Dressed Scholar". After traveling in the arena for several years, Wang Lun also made friends with many heroes. Martial arts heroes, Du Qian and Song Wan are one of them.
Du Qian was originally the head of the escort agency in Wuwei, Shaanxi Province. He escorted the escort to Daming Mansion, but he encountered a bandit when passing through the Taihang Mountains. The bandits tried to rob the escort several times, but they were shot down by Du Qian and a group of escorts. After retreating, a group of robbers saw that the attack failed, so they hatched a poisonous plan.
This group of robbers took advantage of the fact that the bodyguards were sleeping in the inn at night, and put Mongolian and Chinese medicine into the water jars where the bodyguards drew water. The next day, the bodyguards fetched water and went on the road. When they stopped to eat at noon, Drinking water is poisoning.
All the bodyguards were knocked down and all of them were hacked to death by the bandits. Only Du Qian did not dare to drink more water because of diarrhea. Although he was also hit by the medicine, fortunately, the shot was shallow, but his hands and feet were weak and he could not move. Still thinking clearly, he looked for an opportunity and rolled down the hillside to escape with his life.
After Du Qian escaped with his life, he thought to himself that it was impossible for him to get the escort money back alone. He could only go back to the escort office to report the news, but he also thought that if he lost the escort money, he would have to pay compensation, and he must be the one responsible for escorting the escort. The head escort paid the bulk of the money. This escort trip cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. How could I pay for it? But I had no other choice but to rush to the escort office with a sigh.
But Du Qian was already ill, and after losing his escort, he became even more anxious and angry. He fell ill. He didn't have much money, and after seeing a doctor, he was penniless within three days. , the owner of the shop kicked Du Qian out of the inn and let him live on the street.
Du Qian wandered the streets and begged for a living. In the last few days, his condition worsened, and he fell down on the street. He didn't know who was going on, and he was about to die on the street at any time.
It happened that Wang Lun was traveling here and passed by this place. When he saw Du Qian lying on the ground, he came to rescue him and paid for a doctor's treatment. He spent nearly a month in hospital before Du Qian recovered from his illness.
Du Qian was grateful for Wang Lun's life-saving grace, and seeing that Wang Lun was so majestic that he must not be a mortal, he simply did not return to the escort agency, and directly worshiped Wang Lun as his eldest brother. From then on, he stayed with Wang Lun and followed Wang Lun in his career. Jianghu.
