At this moment, the unknown old monk was also complaining secretly.
Due to the previous failure to capture Hu Yuan, the Shaolin sect had already been criticized by Zhao Ji who was still on the throne at the time. The already difficult life was even more difficult because Zhao Ji worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism.
Therefore, this time the imperial court issued an edict to recruit, for Shaolin, it was another opportunity to promote Buddhism. Therefore, Abbot Xuji personally asked to see the unknown old monk who had been in seclusion since he was defeated by Hu Yun's sword, and begged him to do whatever it takes. Another trip out of the mountains.
Although this old monk who is proficient in martial arts has reached the state where everything no longer lingers in his mind, Shaolin Temple is the place where he has lived since he can remember. After all, he has a concern that he cannot let go, so he reluctantly came to Tokyo.
He had also been mentally prepared to face the Jin Kingdom's national master Pu Feng, but only when he actually fought against him did he realize that this man's fierce power was beyond his ability to match.
Seeing that the golden light of the nameless old monk's Buddha palm was shrunk by the demonic fire, the image of the golden body of the Dharma in the sky gradually faded, and the ambition and courage of the soldiers and civilians in the city were also depressed and withered.
Suddenly, a jade seal no more than a few inches square, completely white and flawless, flew from the sky and fell towards Pu Feng who was sitting on the carriage.
The umbrella cover on Pu Feng's head is painted with incantations, and it is a good protective weapon in itself. However, after it generates a sense and automatically casts a layer of red light to resist incoming objects, the small jade seal only lightly It was smashed to pieces with a single touch, and the remaining force smashed towards Pu Fengding's door.
"Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal!"
Pu Feng was suddenly startled, and his figure turned into a black air and flew away from under the seal.
The jade seal continued to fall, shattering another huge carriage into pieces before flying back into the air and landing in the hands of a middle-aged Taoist priest who suddenly appeared.
Pu Feng also transformed into a figure in the air, glared at the Taoist and shouted: "Zhang Jixian, you are practicing your Tao in Longhu Mountain, why are you here to embarrass the Buddha!"
The person who came was Zhang Jixian, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. With his right hand, he held the treasure of Longhu Mountain, "Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal", and said calmly: "Longhu Mountain has been favored by the imperial court for many years. Now that the country is in trouble, I can't just sit back and watch!"
Pu Feng was furious, but looking at the magic weapon that was personally refined by Zhang Daoling, the first Heavenly Master in the past, he finally swallowed his anger and said bitterly: "Although this treasure still has the shadow of Zhang Tianshi, it cannot last forever. Protect your Longhu Mountain lineage. Buddha guesses that he only has the power of three strikes at most, let’s see if you are willing to use them all to stop Buddha!”
After that, he collected the "Six Fire Flags" in the air, transformed into a black energy and flew back to the Jin Army camp.
Wanyan Zong, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army below, seeing that things were not going well, also sent an order to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.
Until this moment, Li Gang finally let go of his hanging heart, and at the same time, he was a little more sure of the strategy he had previously decided to defeat the enemy.
It's a pity that he has never heard of a sentence called: "If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, be afraid of teammates who are like pigs."
While on this side he was devoting all his energy to planning a strategy to defeat the enemy, the emperor Zhao Huan on the other side had already accepted the suggestions of Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangyan and others, and decided to give up as soon as they agreed. He took this small victory as an opportunity to seek peace with the Jin people. .
Li Gang was shocked and angry when he asked about the matter. When he met Zhao Huan, he directly remonstrated with him.
But this time, Zhao Huan felt that the crisis had eased slightly, and he could no longer listen to Li Gang's unfaithful advice. On the surface, he followed the story and secretly sent people to the Jin camp to seek peace. They offered 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, 1 million pieces of silk and satin to three important towns, and even sent the prime ministers and princes as hostages in the gold camp. Agree immediately.
In fact, Wanyan Zongwang, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, saw that it would be difficult to capture Tokyo for a while, and that the Song Dynasty's 200,000 reinforcements were approaching day and night. However, another group of his own troops was blocked in Taiyuan and could not come to join the army. He also had the intention to retreat, so he withdrew after reaping all the benefits. Surround the troops.
Zhao Huan and other monarchs and ministers didn't know what was going on. They only cheered when they saw the Jin people retreating. Even the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, who was far behind, hurried back after asking about it.
They thought they would be able to sit back and relax from now on, so they continued to enjoy themselves with singing and dancing, and demoted all the ministers such as Li Gang who took the lead in the battle.
Zhang Jixian and the unknown old monk were both masters of the world. Seeing this situation, they knew that there was no hope for the court, so they each found an excuse and left.
The Jin Kingdom learned that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had destroyed the Great Wall, so he decisively tore up the thin paper of covenants he had signed before, and once again raised his troops to go south. Still with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi as commanders, the two armies drove straight to Tokyo like a razor.
The father and son Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were completely panicked and sent envoys one after another. They only asked the Kingdom of Jin to agree to peace talks with humble words and generous gifts.
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi, who were already sure of victory this time, ignored them and marched straight into the outer city of Tokyo.
Forced by the Jin soldiers, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan left the city and surrendered one after another. Eventually, together with countless wealthy people in Tokyo, they were taken away by the Jin soldiers and returned to the north. The dynasty, which was called the "Northern Song Dynasty" in later history books, was destroyed.
It is said that King Kang Zhaogou of the Jin Kingdom, who was previously detained as a hostage, heard the news that his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. After crying, he decided to flee and return to the south to reorganize the Song Dynasty.
He was astute and quite proficient in martial arts. He actually found an opportunity to break away from the control of the golden man and fled south in a hurry.
The Jin people learned about this only a little late, and immediately sent experts to chase him.
Zhao Gou did have some tricks. After noticing the pursuers from behind, he immediately drove his mount to another fork in the road to divert the pursuers, and fled on foot to the north bank of the Yellow River.
Because he couldn't find a ferry to cross the river for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he took shelter in an abandoned Cuifujun temple by the river.
While he was dreaming, Zhao Gou suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear: "The pursuers of Jinlu are approaching, so King Kang hastily mounted his horse!"
Zhao Gou asked subconsciously: "Where can I get a horse here?"
The voice laughed and said, "Isn't it the one at the door?"
Then there was a sound of a horse neighing from the door.
Zhao Gou was suddenly alert. He stood up in surprise and doubt and went to the temple gate. As expected, he saw a sacred green horse kicking and neighing on the spot.
"This horse..."
When he looked carefully, he felt that the horse's coat, body, and saddle were familiar. He suddenly turned his head and looked into the temple, only to see that the clay sculpture of the sacred horse in the temple had disappeared.
"Could it be that God took pity on me, Zhao Gou, and sent this miracle to save me?"
Just as he was rejoicing in his heart, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, and the Jin Kingdom's pursuers had indeed arrived.
Zhao Gou was horrified and did not dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly stepped forward and mounted his horse.
The horse didn't need him to drive it. After opening its mouth and letting out a long neigh, it turned around and galloped away towards the Yellow River.
"Then the Zhao family's son is indeed here, hurry up and chase him!"
The Jin people behind also discovered Zhao Gou and were overjoyed to chase him.
The two sides came to the edge of the Yellow River one after another. Zhao Gou saw the surging river in front of him, and his heart suddenly became cold. He dismounted his horse and jumped towards the turbulent river without stopping.
"My life is at risk!"
Zhao Gou screamed, but found that his body had not sunk. When he looked down at his feet after recovering from the shock, he saw that the horse's four hooves were firmly stepping on the waves, as if it were walking on flat ground.
"It is indeed a magical horse, hurry up and cross the Guguo River!" Zhao Gou hurriedly begged in ecstasy.
The horse failed to fulfill his wish this time. After circling on the river, it followed the flow of the river and rode towards the east.
