Li Chungang clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "What really interests me is the swordsman you call 'Tianhu Ling'. Although he only has one sword, he is already very experienced. He can hit Wu Liuding's hand accurately from a long distance." The weak point of the bamboo pole. Not only did it shatter the bamboo pole, but it also protected Ning Emei and others from getting off the ship. This courage and swordsmanship alone are unparalleled in the martial arts world."
"Is the Tianhu Ling really so powerful? When Xu Fengnian heard that the old sword god gave the Tianhu Ling such a high evaluation, he asked the old sword god: "I wonder, how does the Tianhu Ling compare with Wang Xianzhi of Emperor Wu City? "
Li Chungang said impatiently, "Are you kidding? How old is Wang Xianzhi and how old he is, how can they be compared. The sword that he just smashed the long pole in Wu Liuding's hand proved that he should be referring to the Xuan realm. There may be something in the future Possibly, but not now.”
"It's no wonder that everyone in the martial arts ranks the Heavenly Tiger Order with Wu Liuding from the Wu Family Sword Tomb and the Bull Rider (Hong Xixiang) from Wudang Mountain. I got news not long ago that the Bull Rider has entered the sky."
Hearing the news, Li Chungang looked at the river and said in a daze: "Isn't this what Qi Xuanzhen did back then? He has not made any progress in his cultivation for twenty years, and once he realizes it, he will become a celestial phenomenon. In another ten years, he will be a land god."
The Qixuan frame is the "Dao armor" of the thirteen armors of the Spring and Autumn Period in the past. The former headmaster of Longhu Mountain. Fifty years ago, he single-handedly slaughtered all six guardians of the Demon Sect.
After that, he discussed the truth with Li Chungang at his peak.
After the victory in discussing the Tao, he ascended and flew away.
However, Li Chungang had doubts about his Tao because his lover died and witnessed Qi Xuan's frame, and his realm retreated thousands of miles.
He was originally half-footed in the terrestrial fairyland, but fell into the Zhixuan realm.
It was not until these years of being imprisoned under the Tingchao Pavilion that I realized a simple truth: Qi Xuan frame's hometown talk was deliberately misleading him.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Thinking of this, Li Chungang continued to ask about the Tianhu Order, "Boy, do you know the origin of the Tianhu Order?"
Xu Fengnian didn't understand why the old sword god was so interested in the Tianhu Order.
Since he wanted to know, Xu Fengnian naturally had no reason to hide it.
"In fact, the origin of Tianhu Ling has always been a big mystery in the martial arts world. Even the name Tianhu Ling was only called that by people at that time because of the Tianhu mask he wore. Regarding whether he is a boy or a girl , it is unknown whether he is a young man or a master who has been famous for a long time. We only know that when he first appeared, he was in Beimang. One man and one sword, three thousand battles without stopping. The group of long-famous masters in Beimang will be defeated A master kills like a melon or a vegetable."
After hearing this, Li Chungang touched his beard and said, "You must be curious why I am so interested in this Tianhu Order."
Before Xu Fengnian could speak, the old sword god murmured: "I wish I could enter the Vajra at the age of sixteen, the Zhixuan at the age of nineteen, and achieve the Celestial Phantasm at the age of twenty-four, and be hailed as a great swordsman who only happens once in 500 years. When he first emerged from the martial arts world, under the watchful eyes of millions of tide-watchers, he crossed the river on the Guangling tide. At the age of twenty-four, he went to Dongyue Jianchi to challenge Wu Wei, the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, and humiliated the senior so much that he committed suicide by necking his neck. , claimed to be invincible in the world at thirty-six, and threatened that the four great masters except me were all just trying to gain fame, that is, Wang Xiu, Fengdu Green Robe, and Fu Jiang Hongjia joined forces. It was also a matter of my sword, and I did not lose to him later. They. I think I have suffered losses from Wang Xianzhi and Qi Xuanzhen in my life. Even if I fell into the realm, I still exchanged arms with that person. But today, I am using the sword of Guan Tianhu Ling that does not belong to anyone in this world. His swordsmanship. His swordsmanship is of its own kind. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will become a swordsman in the sky and even on land in the future."
Hearing that Li Chungang gave such a high evaluation to Tianhu Ling, Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "No matter what the celestial phenomena or the land gods are, I will practice my sword."
The old sword god snorted coldly when he heard this, "Huh! Arrogant."
Three large ships entered the lake from the river. The 800-mile Spring God Lake is a vast misty lake. This lake can accommodate six rivers and a large river. It has always been a place for military strategists to fight and a tourist attraction for poets.
To pass the 800-mile Spring God Lake, you need to pass through three cities, three passes and three mountains.
Among these three cities, three passes and three mountains, the three cities are the most important, namely Xiangfan, Xingyang and Wuling.
Among the three cities, Xiangfan is the most important.
When the Three Kingdoms were fighting here, Wang Mingyang, an old minister of the Western Chu, was ordered to become the governor of Xiangfan County. He resisted Xu Xiao's 100,000 soldiers and defended it for three years until the Western Chu was destroyed and the Western Shu perished.
Wang Yangming still refused to surrender, and there was no food in the city.
Wang Mingyang cooked and killed his wife and children with his own hands and distributed them among the soldiers guarding the city.
When the city was destroyed three years later, the 200,000 Xiangfan people were reduced to just over 10,000.
This brutal offensive and defensive battle earned Wang Mingyang the title of the number one defender in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Xu Fengnian passed by this place near Laoshan and encountered a local snake. He was also warmly received by Wang Linquan of the old Northern Liang tribe.
Under the guidance of Wang Linquan, Xu Fengnian was quite curious about the holy Buddha statue on the top of Laoshan Mountain.
I saw the holy Buddha statue with a cloud beast mask on its face and an evil dragon on its feet. Although the cloud beast mask covers his face, his head is covered with golden relics. The Dharma is solemn and upright.
I saw this statue holding a floating dust in its left hand and holding a seal in its right hand, pointing directly at Spring God Lake.
Wang Linquan saw that Xu Fengnian was curious about this cloud beast statue, so he introduced it to him: Your Highness. Spring God Lake is strange. Every February 2nd for thousands of years, there will be a thick column of water rising straight into the sky. No one dares to go boating on the lake on that day, so it is called the dragon raising its head. It is said that there is a dragon trapped at the bottom of the lake. Zhulong, who secretly caused rain in the south of the Yangtze River and was punished by heaven, should be punished for the rest of his life. This dragon did not accept the imprisonment of heaven and made trouble specifically on that day, so we all call it that day when the dragon raises his head. Until five years ago, the lake churned and the evil dragon appeared. Only then did the people around realize that it was an evil dragon at the bottom of the lake who had been practicing for thousands of years. As soon as the evil dragon was born, it caused the waves of the lake to churn. The people living near Chunshen Lake suffered disasters and suffered terribly. Fortunately, the Holy Buddha descended from heaven and suppressed the evil dragon with his boundless power, so that Spring God Lake returned to its former peace. In order to express gratitude for the merits of the Holy Buddha. The villain raises funds with the common people and wealthy businessmen living near Chunshen Lake. Ask someone to build this holy Buddha statue. Your Highness came at the right time, as today is the day to hold the Buddha Sacrifice Ceremony. "
"I didn't expect that there is such a story behind this Buddha statue. No wonder I see that every household here enshrines such a statue." Xu Fengnian nodded in praise, but in his heart he was not satisfied.
The prince has been traveling for three years and knows that people in Buddhism are best at pretending to be gods and ghosts.
It's not safe to say that this evil dragon is a Buddhist master pretending to be a master, and he joins forces with the holy Buddha who is being erected to put on a good show.
Obtaining incense by defrauding is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to spread Buddhist teachings and compete with Taoism.
Xu Fengnian saw along the way that almost every household of the residents near Chunshen Lake had such a Buddha statue, and everyone held a Buddhist scripture.
From time to time, you can still see people gathering together, not doing farm work, just discussing Buddhist scriptures.
It can be seen that the Buddhist approach is very effective.
This is also the reason why Xu Fengnian concluded this.
