Two flowers bloom, but only one pen——
At this time, Tang Bin rushed back to Liangshan after a lot of hard work. On the other side, in Fuyang County, Cao Cao and others watched him go away and started arranging the defense of the city, hoping to make some repairs here before deciding where to go.
Xue Dounan, the general guarding Fuyang, had already ordered people to make food and boil water. Tens of thousands of soldiers had their stomachs full and their feet burned, and they all took a rest without mentioning it.
On the next day, Fang Qifu summoned a group of leaders and Cao Cao and others to discuss the military plan: Since Hangzhou has been lost, should we fight for it land by land and resist layer by layer, or should we abandon these small places and concentrate our efforts on the decisive battle of Muzhou?
Although Cao Cao had a plan in mind, he was still a guest general, so he was happy to drink tea with his brothers and sit back and watch them express their opinions——
Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue both claimed that Mu She Prefecture was the place where the Ming Cult started, and they knew the geography of the mountains and rivers by heart. Naturally, it was necessary to set up defenses layer by layer to make it difficult for the instructors and troops to move forward. This was the best strategy.
Li Tianrun shook his head. He said that Tong Guan was coming with a large army. If he didn't concentrate on dealing with it with all his strength, would he be allowed to defeat them one by one? He would still get along with Fang La and have a head-on fight with him, only then would he know who is in charge of the ups and downs of this southeastern land.
Pang Wanchun felt that the father-in-law was right and the mother-in-law was right. He had a soft-eared face and nodded his head no matter who spoke.
The remaining flying generals have limited opinions. Secondly, the Dharma kings and marshals are competing with each other. Who dares to join in the fight? They all said some smooth words to deal with it.
As for Si Xingfang, he was seriously injured and could not speak fluently. He was also in a depressed mood and stayed in the room to recover from his injuries.
Fang Qifu frowned, hesitating in his heart as he listened to the arguments among the others——
According to his original intention, he felt that what Li Tianrun said was more appropriate, but the two states of Mu and She were filled with mountains, crisscrossed rivers, and many dangerous passes. It would be a pity not to make full use of them.
I thought about it in my mind for a long time, and finally felt a dilemma. Suddenly I saw a faint smile on the corner of Lao Cao's mouth, and I thought to myself: This Brother Song has a good idea, and is sincere to us. He is a person we can rely on. Why not ask him for advice?
Just as he was about to speak, a spy suddenly rushed into the hall: "Envoy Fang Zuo, all Dharma kings, marshals, and generals, something bad happened. It turns out that Tong Guan sent a partial army to go down to Hu and Xuanzhou, and Huzhou Gong Wen Gong stayed behind. , and all five of his lieutenants were defeated. Xuanzhou also lost its three commanders, Lu An, Pan Jun, and Cheng Shengzu. Yu Qing's family was in charge, and he led three commanders, Li Shao, Han Ming, and Du Jingchen, and was defeated in Shezhou. .”
Fang Qifu was shocked after hearing this. He stood up and shouted: "The front of the officers and soldiers is so sharp! After all, there are only two states left under the command of the Holy Duke."
Seeing his panic, Cao Cao tried to persuade him: "Why worry, Seven Buddhas? We have lost Runzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, not to mention where Hu and Xuanxiao are. Before your army launched its army last year, how could your sect have any land? If you conquer several states, it will be like this." The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and they are easily accessible - even though the imperial court has gained power for a while, it only needs to kill Tong Guan, so why can't last year's story repeat itself?"
Fang Qifu listened to his few words and revealed the essence. He couldn't help but feel certain in his heart. He nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Song understands that the root of the matter is that only Tongguan can defeat his army. The south of the Yangtze River is not owned by Zhao and Song." .”
After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Since the matter has come to this, let's send a messenger to call the three generals Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin and Wei Heng at Dusong Pass to abandon the pass and all go to Muzhou to meet up."
Shi Bao was shocked and said: "The terrain of Dusong Pass is dangerous, how could we abandon it?"
Fang Qifu smiled bitterly and said: "Dusong Pass is the key to the northwest of Hangzhou. If Hangzhou is lost, what is the use of defending it? If the officers and soldiers attack from both sides, thousands of brothers will be lost in vain."
Then he said to everyone: "Brothers, I have made up my mind. What Fa Wang Deng and Commander Shi said is indeed commendable for their courage. However, if Hu Xuan is lost, the officers and soldiers can attack from multiple directions at any time. If we divide our troops again, it will be useless... …I think Tianding will return to Bangyuan Cave very quickly. When the Holy Duke learns of our situation, he will mobilize a large army to come to our aid. We will just meet up with Muzhou and gather all our strength to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers."
Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue looked at each other and felt unwilling to accept it. Deng Yuanjue sighed and said: "Seven Buddhas, the leader is not here, so I respect you as the envoy. Not to mention in terms of wisdom and martial arts, you have always been a little higher than us. We are waiting for you." You should do as you are told.”
Fang Qifo smiled and said: "Brothers work together to achieve great things! In this case, Dounan, you quickly prepare a few carriages, all of which are covered with thick quilts. They must be soft and comfortable to carry Fang Shuai, Shi Shuai and Li. Marshal, as well as brother Yu from Liangshan, you will personally lead the troops and escort them to Muzhou, and we will follow."
Shi Bao touched his shoulder and waved his hand: "What does this injury mean? I'll ride on horseback and you can go with me."
Deng Yuanjue touched his crotch and said with a bitter face: "Shi Bao doesn't want a carriage, so he can go back to the poor monk and sit there. I probably won't be able to ride a horse these days. I don't know if the Liangshan miracle doctor is good at treating men's diseases..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vigorous voice shouted: "Since you can't ride a horse, wouldn't it be better to just bury your bones here?"
When he said the first sentence, the voice was still on the roof. When he said "the bones are buried here", the roof burst with a bang, and a figure fell down like a ghost. When he said "wouldn't it be good", he had already rushed towards Deng Yuanjue, with his five-fingered halberd spread out and grabbing him in the face. Come.
This suddenly happened, and the skills of those who came were even more powerful. If they were to catch those flying generals, they would definitely be dead or alive. But how skilled is the "Baoguang Tathagata"? If Lu Shinang became the Dharma King by dedicating his abundant family assets and the great merits of his tribe, Deng Yuanjue only relied on his powerful martial arts.
At this moment, the cross arms were crossed, and the arms and claws were intersecting. There was a sound of gold and iron, and two "um" and "eh" sounds were heard at the same time.
This painful cry of "Ugh" came from Deng Yuanjue. He thought he could easily hold the opponent and grab him, but unexpectedly, his arm was in severe pain, and the opponent's five fingers were actually clawed into the flesh, reaching as deep as the bone.
The other party exclaimed "Hey". Naturally, he would not hold anything back when he entered Longtan alone. He used 100% of his strength to grab it. It was so powerful that it could break gold and rubble. I thought he would be able to catch it. The opponent's bones were shattered. Unexpectedly, Deng Yuan felt that his bones were like steel. The shock caused severe pain to his fingers, and he quickly withdrew his hands.
Lao Cao saw clearly and immediately recognized the man who was the old man who killed Du Wei and injured Fang Jie the night before. He later saw the bodies of the two people, with five bloody holes on their heads. Such invincible finger strength was really incredible. It's shocking, but unexpectedly, it seems that he has suffered a little loss at this moment.
Suddenly I remembered that when I was giving a lecture on martial arts and chivalry in the barren mountain, what the great monk was talking about was exactly a set of tiger bone-forging skills!
Although Deng Yuanjue's bones were not damaged, five finger holes were left in his flesh and blood gushed out. Although he was a monk, he always harbored a demonic nature and went crazy when seeing blood. His eyes instantly turned red, he roared, and punched out with his right fist, followed closely by his left fist. His force was fierce and fierce, like the anger of King Kong. It was the "Great Demon Subduing Fist" that he was most proud of in his life.
Huang Shang used the kung fu he learned from the Taoist scriptures to fight with him. The two of them fought quickly, and more than ten moves were passed in an instant. Huang Shang couldn't help but be moved, and thought to himself: I learned Taoism during the Zhenghe period (1112), and used the ancient skills to fight against him. I realized the wonderful truth when I was young. I thought it was just a way to strengthen the body. If it weren't for last year (1119), I hated Lin Lingsu for despising the king, discussed the Tao with him, and then started fighting. I wouldn't have known that I had developed extremely high martial arts... Haha, First he defeated Lin Lingsu and then Kui Xiangyang. I thought that all the masters in the world were just like this, but unexpectedly there were dragons and snakes among the grass. This fat monk really deserves to be the king of the demon sect. This boxing technique is no better than what I have learned. Slightly weaker.
Thinking of this, he suddenly abandoned Deng Yuanjue, folded his body, and rushed towards Shi Bao like a puff of smoke - he had just eavesdropped on the roof and knew that Shi Bao was Marshal Nanli. Seeing that his shoulders were thickly wrapped in white cloth, he wanted to Take advantage of his injury and take his life.
This kind of behavior is not like a master, and all the heroes in the hall are scolded. However, Huang Shang has never walked around in the Jianghu in his life. He has no idea about the so-called rules and morals in the Jianghu. Instead, he is confused in his heart: I am very smart in playing this way. They are very clever. Why do you call me a shameless old thief?
Shi Bao's sword is not at hand, and his left arm is weak. Can Anken fight with him? But there was no panic at all. He stepped back and threw the meteor hammer with his hand.
Seeing the fierceness of the hammer, Huang Shang twisted around to avoid it. In just a moment's delay, Fang Qifu jumped in front of him, punching with his right hand, pointing his left hand, straightening his knees and sweeping his legs, all firing in an instant.
His face was as calm as water, and he said in a hateful voice: "The arrogant old thief is like a moth flying into the flame. Today is the day to avenge Fang Jie and Du Wei."
With his knowledge, as soon as he saw Huang Shang take action, he knew that the person who hurt Fang Jie was here.
Huang Chang did not give back, and broke his tricks with him, but listening to ping pong ping -pong was endless. Both of them came out of hand and feet. The weaker one was already feeling faintly nauseated, but he couldn't bear to turn his head away.
Cao Cao saw Huang Shang's amazing body skills and was afraid that he would recognize him and attack suddenly. He drew his sword in his hand early and waited attentively. After looking at it for a moment, he nodded secretly: What a Fang Qifu, no wonder he is so famous in the world! Looking at the variety of his moves, he is not inferior to Guanzhong, and his strength is so majestic that he can compete with my second brother. It is really amazing. This old man is even more terrifying. With Fang Qifu's ability, he seems to be slightly superior...
As his thoughts swirled, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile sneerly: They say people are old and ghosts are old, but this old man is rarely ignorant——
The last time he rushed into the formation rashly, he probably realized how powerful the military formation was, and actually became an assassin by imitating others.
With his martial arts skills, if he were to kill Si Xingfang and Fang Jie, who could resist those guards?
Or they might sneak up on Fang Qifu and Deng Yuanjue when they are alone. Even if they don’t care, their lives will be in danger...
But he just happened to barge in when everyone was gathering. Could it be that he had lost his mind from practicing martial arts?
This last sentence was originally intended as a slander and a joke by Lao Cao, but he didn’t realize that it was actually meant to be fair—
The judge heard: It is said that the underground is in the southeast and the sky is high in the northwest. The heaven and earth are not complete yet, let alone humans?
Huang Shang is a man of astonishing talent and beauty. Look at him, in his twilight years, he was able to master Taoism without a teacher and realize peerless martial arts. This kind of ability was created out of nothing. I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to come up with it in hundreds of years. If he were more sophisticated in human nature, well versed in worldly affairs, and even understood the yin and yang, and knew how to advance and retreat, wouldn't he be a perfect man?
Perhaps because of his great talent, Huang Shang has been a little ignorant since he was a child. When he was an official, he mostly sat back and "administered by doing nothing" and only focused on studying books and knowledge - otherwise, how could he get the job of cultivating Taoism? In his hand? He even developed unparalleled martial arts skills without even realizing it.
If he hadn't been ordered by the emperor last year to discuss Taoism with Lin Lingsu as a "Taoist cultural authority", the opponent's debater was speechless and suddenly used a poisonous hand, and was defeated by his subconscious counterattack. It's hard for people to know.
Lao Cao didn't even know that the year before last, he had led a group of brothers to rob Emperor Ji and kill Gao Qiu, causing a big fuss in Tokyo. This old gentleman was sitting in the Suyuan teahouse and witnessed with his own eyes Jiao Ting's murder of Cai Wei. One scene.
At that time, the old man was hiding in the corner, holding a small tea cup and feeling scared. At the same time, he couldn't help but be extremely confused: This man wielding two swords swung his swords very slowly. Didn't the young man avoid it by taking a step back? How could you not move and let him chop you?
This is the beauty of coincidence and fate.
Therefore, it was not until he defeated Lin Lingsu that Huang Shang realized that his martial arts skills were extremely high. Even the officials were surprised. They took advantage of the situation to kill Lin Lingsu and dismissed him from his post and returned home. At the same time, he secretly became jealous of Huang Shang.
This Zhao Guan family has always been regarded as the smartest person in the world. However, he has loved Taoism for many years and has only learned a few tricks of Fangzhongshu, which are not very useful. He can't figure out how Huang Shang can understand the secrets of Taoism. Come on. Amazing martial arts.
Fortunately, smart people are always good at self-consistency. After thinking about it all night, the official suddenly realized: This old man Huang is a bookworm, how can he be smarter than himself? It is obvious that God wants him to assist his leader, the Taoist Emperor. Therefore, it is a divine power granted by God.
Thinking about it like this, I immediately felt relieved. How noble was my status? Could it be that I had learned martial arts and fought with others? Wouldn't it be a mess of manners? When thinking this way, the officials selectively forgot about the big buttocks and cracked legs that Huahua Taisui had back then.
Since Huang Shang was assisted by God's will, the Zhao Guan family became enthusiastic about him. They specially recalled Kui Xiangyang, the commander of the Imperial City Division who was on errands in Liao, to further try Huang Shang's martial arts and became even more satisfied. It happened that Tong Guan was marching south and remembered the Imperial City. Si had said that there were many Ming Cult masters, so he simply sent Huang Shang to accompany the army on the expedition. He wanted to let the Demon Cult masters know that there were not only millions of heroes in the court, but also strange people and strangers, so as to show the prestige of the country.
For the officials, it was just a spur-of-the-moment move, but for Huang Shang, it was a good opportunity to share the emperor's worries and govern the country and bring peace to the world, so he left the army and came to Fuyang to assassinate him.
Naturally, everyone in the hall did not know the various causes and effects. Seeing that Fang Qifu and Huang Shang fought for many times but could not win, and even gradually fell into a disadvantage, Cao Cao shouted: "Brother Shi is injured, this old thief still wants to attack, it can be seen that This person has no morals! There is no need to talk about the rules of the world for this kind of scum, Brother Shi and Monk Deng, let’s all come together!”
As soon as he said this, everyone was enlightened. The imperial court sent an assassin. Is it a fair competition with him? Deng Yuanjue roared, strode forward, and swung his big demon-subduing fist. Shi Jin grabbed the stick and stepped forward to attack from both sides.
Li Kui chuckled and said, "Brother is right. Tieniu saw them fighting back and forth, and his ax was itching!" He easily kept the two big axes from his body, and immediately pulled them out, and a gust of black wind swept them away, straight up. Cut straight down.
Fan Rui screamed loudly, pulled out the Demon King's Sword, and stabbed Huang Shang in the back of the heart. Not willing to be left behind, Liu Tang took a simple knife from the weapons rack in the hall and went forward to kill him.
The rest of the people also held weapons and formed a circle outside to prevent Huang Shang from escaping.
However, Cao Cao knew that when such masters really wanted to escape, it would be difficult for San Ruan, Si Jie and others to stop him. He quietly walked up to Pang Wanchun and whispered in his ear: "Brother Pang, this old thief is very good at lightness. Please pay attention. If he If you really want to escape, it all depends on your ability."
Pang Wanchun thought of the old man saying that even if he could shoot eleven arrows, he would still be unable to do anything to him. He secretly gritted his teeth and nodded, "Today I will let him know how powerful I am, 'Xiao Yang Youji'!"
Youfenjiao: Fang thought of protecting Mu She, but suddenly reported the loss of Hu Xuan. He roared in anger and punched the top of his lungs.
I originally planned to publish two chapters of 3,000 words, but the system crashed at early nine o'clock. I reopened Word and found that a lot of words were missing. I was extremely heartbroken. I worked for a long time and couldn't find them, so I had to rewrite them. I didn't have time to complete the original number, so I was forced to combine them. A chapter.
Note--
Regarding the origin of the White Bone Claw——
In the original text of the newly revised version of "Shooting the Condor", it is written: "Zhou Botong suddenly realized it and said: 'Ah, yes, the Nine Yin Manual contains many vicious and evil martial arts, which were all performed by Huang Shang's enemies. '"
The original name of the White Bone Claw in the Nine Yin Manual is the "Destroying Divine Claw" (the triple version is Jiuyin Divine Claw). See the original text: "On this day, Zhou Botong taught him how to practice the 'Destroying Divine Claw', and ordered him to concentrate on his luck and use his ten fingers to Tear, claw, pull and hit on the stone wall."
As for the name of the White Bone Claw, Zhou Botong's explanation is: Zhou Botong was shocked when he heard this and thought: That's right, Mei Chaofeng couldn't see the first volume of the scripture and didn't know how to practice. , Destroying the enemy's leader is like passing through rotten soil. 'She didn't know that the saying in the sutra, 'destroying the enemy's head', meant attacking the enemy's vital points and hitting the enemy's leader. She thought that it meant inserting five fingers into the enemy's head, and she thought that this was also the case when practicing. I also made up a terrible name, called 'Nine Yin White Bone Claws'.
In the final analysis, there is no description of the specific source of martial arts in the second volume of the Scripture, and the newly revised edition adds the theory that the evil skills come from the enemy - but this is only a speculation by Zhou Botong himself.
Moreover, the newly revised version still states that Black Wind Shuangsha has no culture and has practiced upright martial arts into a ghostly spirit. Therefore, whether the Nine Yin White Bone Palm is originally "insidious and evil" remains to be judged by the beholder.
