Jiangnan in March is picturesque and full of vitality.
A carriage came from the south and went north. The rolling wheels crushed the official road, breaking the rare tranquility.
Beside the carriage was a group of officers and soldiers, the leader of which was Song Xing, who accompanied Lu Huiqing to Beijing.
Because Zhezong urgently summoned Lu Huiqing to Beijing, after Song Xing hurried back to Wuxi, he hurriedly followed Lu Huiqing out of Suzhou and went to the six gates of the capital to report on his work.
It is 1,600 miles away from Gusu, and the carriage does not travel very fast, so it will take five or six days to arrive.
Song Xing took advantage of this rare opportunity to practice the Beiming Divine Art that he had previously learned from Duan Yu.
It is explained in the Beiming Divine Skill training scroll. After the Beiming Divine Skill is practiced, it has both yin and yang. The masculine is tormented like a furnace, and the feminine is several times colder than ice. It is compatible with the world's martial arts. It is invulnerable to poison, powerful and domineering, and powerful in attack. Wu Tao has great power.
The Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand and the Ren Meridian are the foundation of Beiming Sheng Gong. Among them, the Shaoshang point on the thumb and the Tanzhong point between the breasts are particularly important. The former is taken and the latter is stored.
In order to practice the Beiming Divine Kung Fu, you need to turn your original internal energy into Beiming Zhenqi, which means that all the Zhenqi practiced in the Song Xingming Yu Gong must be converted into Beiming Zhenqi.
Although Mingyu Gong is powerful, the amount of infuriating energy stored in the ninth level Mingyu Gong has reached the upper limit of this body.
Beiming Divine Skill has no such restrictions. In theory, it can easily absorb hundreds of years of internal energy for its own use, and can convert all external Qi into Beiming Qi without any hidden dangers.
The Mingyu True Qi in Song Xing's body is both masculine and feminine, which is exactly in line with the determination of practicing Beiming Divine Skill. Even so, it took him three days to use the Beiming Divine Skill and mental method to get all the true energy in his body. Converted into Beiming Zhenqi.
In the following time, Song Xing has been exploring and familiarizing himself with Beiming Zhenqi's method of transporting energy. The more familiar he is, the more he feels that this method is indeed the strongest internal skill of Xiaoyao Sect.
Although Beiming's magical skill can absorb the opponent's internal energy for one's own use, allowing people to quickly accumulate a large amount of true energy, its most powerful effect lies in the purified Beiming's true energy.
There is a saying in Xiaoyaoyou: "To the north of Qiongfa there is Minghai, which is Tianchi." '
For those who practice the Beiming Divine Art, the human body seems to be transformed into a heavenly lake, which can accommodate endless Beiming Qi. These Qi will feed back to the cultivator in the human body, making the cultivator's body become more and more full of vitality. In theory, this is true. The stronger and purer the Qi is, the longer the practitioner will live.
Observing that Xiaoyao Sanlao, who is over 90 years old, is as energetic as middle-aged people, Song Xing even suspects that the creator of this technique created this amazing talent just to break through the limits of life and try to transform from a human into an 'immortal'. Absolutely beautiful mind.
Just when Song Xing had completely digested the thirty-six volumes of Beiming Shengong, the group was getting closer and closer to the capital, and they estimated that they would arrive in one day.
Because it was getting dark, the group simply went to the nearest inn and prepared to set off again tomorrow.
During the Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous, life was affluent, and local posthouses were also built magnificently.
The twenty-four couplets of the house, the vastness of fifty-seven steps, the hall guarding the pavilion, two verandas on the wings, and heavy walls surrounding it all tell the story of the luxury and comfort of the post house.
Just when Lu Huiqing, Song Xing and others arrived at the post house and packed their bags to rest, noises came from outside the post house door again.
At the end of the official road, a group of people came towards them. The same group of officers and soldiers escorted several carriages and walked slowly.
When the person opposite came closer, Song Xing noticed that the leading middle-aged rider was also wearing a crimson six-door official robe. He looked gentle and elegant, but his face was a little gloomy.
Just when Song Xing was sizing up this person, the middle-aged official also noticed Song Xing and Lu Huiqing in front of him. His face was stunned, then he lightly knocked on the horse's belly and quickly came to the front of the post house.
Before the horse could stop, the middle-aged official jumped off the horse with vigorous movements and a smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for many years. Mr. Lu still looks so energetic."
Lu Huiqing looked at the middle-aged official with the same smile and said, "Mian Zhong, haven't you seen him for seven years?"
The middle-aged official bowed respectfully to Lu Huiqing, then raised his head and said, "It has been seven years since I went to Fuzhou in the second year of Yuanyou."
Lu Huiqing said with emotion: "It has been seven years. After the King Prime Minister stepped down, you and I were separated. I didn't expect that we would be reunited today."
After speaking, he pointed at the middle-aged official and introduced to Song Xing: "This is Huang Shang and Huang Mianzhong, a fellow official from my hometown. I have the same six-door silver medal as you. Both of them have first-class martial arts abilities. You two need to communicate more."
Song Xing stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise. He did not expect to meet Huang Shang, the founder of the Nine Yin Manual, who would be famous in later generations.
Thinking about it, at the beginning of the Tianlong plot, Huang Shang was indeed in his forties and working as an official in Fuzhou. In this way, it was a good match.
While several people were talking, the motorcade following Huang Shang also arrived at the entrance of the post house. Lu Huiqing saw several prison cars appearing in the motorcade and asked with some confusion: "Mianzhong, why is this?"
He was a fellow countryman who was smart since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination in the fifth year of Yuanfeng and entered the Hanlin Academy to compile Tao Zang for Shenzong for five years. At the age of 30, he actually realized Tao Zang. He learned the profound martial arts in martial arts without a teacher.
Huang Shang practiced external martial arts for five years and became a martial arts master from the outside in.
But before he could show what he had learned, Shenzong passed away and Empress Dowager Gao came to power. She suppressed the New Party and exiled him, Lu Huiqing and others to six gates, and transferred them away from the center of power in the capital.
Lu Huiqing was sent to Jiangnan to take charge of the six gates of Pingjiang Mansion, while Huang Shang was transferred to Fuzhou and became a silver medal head catcher.
Seeing Lu Huiqing speak, Huang Shang replied: "Has Mr. Lu ever heard of the Demon Cult of Eating Vegetables?"
Lu Huiqing was moved in her heart and said: "I have heard that this sect is active in Fuzhou and other coastal areas. It has a large number of believers and deceives the public. It has always been tabooed by the imperial court."
Huang Shang nodded and said: "Xiaguan has been in Fuzhou for seven years, and has often fought against the masters of his sect. This sect confuses the public with its evil deeds and has evil intentions. Xiaguan has repeatedly broken it, but it has been revived and cannot be eradicated."
Song Xing, who was next to him, looked back at the prisoners in the prison car. Unexpectedly, the person Huang Shang captured was actually a member of the Mingjiao in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Mingjiao originated in the Tang Dynasty and was introduced to China from the Western Regions. Because its teachings did not cater to the ruling class, they have been tabooed by those in power throughout the ages.
The Mingjiao can be seen in every troubled time. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mingjiao adopted the pseudonym Manichaeism to recruit believers among the people. Because the Mingjiao followers were all vegetarians and avoided meat and fish, and because mo and devil had the same pronunciation, the Song Dynasty used vegetables to serve as demons. Teach salutations.
The Song Dynasty even instituted strict laws against eating vegetables and cultivating demons.
"Anyone who gathers together and vows to stop drinking alcohol and persuade others to eat vegetarian food will be sentenced to serve as a disciple for two years and be placed under the supervision of neighboring states."
"Those who eat vegetables and serve demons, or who gather at night and disperse at dawn, and teach demonic teachings, will be hanged; those who follow them will be trained for three thousand miles; and women who are thousands of miles away will be trained."
"Those who rely on illusion magic will be reduced by one level, and they will all be worthy of thousands of miles; those who do not go well with their emotions will be hanged. The above will not be reduced by pardon, and those with serious emotions will be punished."
"Those who did not teach the evil religion and traveled three thousand miles were arrested and killed, and their property was rewarded. The rest were deceived and deceived. Those who were not disciples but were deceived and did not teach others will be reduced to two levels."
Therefore, when Huang Shang went to Fuzhou to take up his post, he mostly adopted a strategy of heavy military suppression and showed little mercy to the Mingjiao believers.
The people imprisoned in the prison car this time were also important figures in the Mingjiao. They were the Mingjiao Dharma King and Wu Sanren who Huang Shang worked hard to capture. There was an order from the top of the mountain to take these people to Kaifeng and punish them.
Just as Huang Shang and Song Xing entered the post house side by side, a frog croaked suddenly from Song Xing, causing Lu Huiqing and Huang Shang to stop and turn their heads.
Song Xing's expression moved slightly, he turned one hand over and took out a white jade toad that looked like jade from the bag on his waist.
The jade toad croaked a few times in Song Xing's hand, then turned and pointed at Huang Shang. Upon seeing this, Song Xing said, "Huang Yinzhang, I'm rude."
Putting the Jade Toad on Huang Shang's shoulder, the Jade Toad opened its mouth and sucked in. It sucked out a faint pink smoke from Huang Shang's shoulder and inhaled it into his belly.
Lu Huiqing was shocked: "What is this?"
Huang Shang's expression was extremely ugly, "This is Miying Powder, a drug used by the Eat Vegetable Demon Cult to track traces. It is sprinkled on the human body for ten months and does not wear off. Specially trained beasts can also use it even if they are ten miles apart." Smell this and get on the trail.”
Huang Shang immediately thought about whether there was an insider from the Ming Cult in the team, and then realized that someone had secretly sprinkled the drug with him during the previous battle with the Ming Cult.
Song Xing took Yuchan back and looked at a row of prison lanes outside: "Since we are following, I think we are planning to hijack the prison cars halfway."
Huang Shang knew that Lu Huiqing didn't know martial arts, so he immediately said: "Lv Gong, these devil-seeking people are not afraid of death. Lu Gong may be in danger if he stays here, so why not..."
The inn was only a day's journey away. If the Mingjiao really planned to rob the prison car, tonight would be their last chance.
Lu Huiqing interrupted Huang Shang: "With you two here, eating vegetables is just a matter of the devil's religion, why should I be afraid of it!"
Huang Shang's martial arts was not weak, and with Song Xing's ability to easily kill the four villains, Lu Huiqing didn't think the Ming Cult could pose any threat to him.
As the top civil servant in the Song Dynasty, Lu Huiqing still had some courage.
Huang Shang looked at Song Xing, who was only in his early twenties, with his eyes lowered to hide his suspicion. Although Song Xing also had a silver medal hanging on his waist, his energy was restrained. In the eyes of ordinary people, he even looked a bit like this person. The illusion of no martial arts.
Huang Shang thought about it for a moment and whispered to Lu Huiqing: "Lv Gong, there are many masters in the devil's religion, and they are unfathomable. After all, your family is still young, so it is better for him to personally protect Lu Gong's safety."
When Lu Huiqing heard what Huang Shang said, he also smiled. He knew that this little fellow countryman was extremely talented. He was very good at learning both civil and martial arts. He was arrogant and arrogant. It was rare for anyone of his age to catch his eye, let alone someone older than him. Song Xing is much smaller.
To be honest, if it were Song Xing before, he wouldn't think he could compare to Huang Shang, but now Song Xing, Doujiu Mozhi, killed the four evil men, and his martial arts skills were so high that he was ranked first among the six gates.
In Lu Huiqing's eyes, Song Xing and Huang Shang belong to the same kind of people. They are both people with extraordinary talents who can make great progress in martial arts once they have an epiphany.
Lu Huiqing smiled and patted Huang Shang on the shoulder: "I'm an old man and they don't know me, so what can I protect? Since the other party has been planning for a long time, they must take all factors into consideration. Xiao Song will help you. Just enough to catch them off guard."
Although Huang Shang still doubted Song Xing's martial arts, seeing what Lu Huiqing said, he had no choice but to agree. The group had a hasty meal at the post station and pretended to rest, but in fact they were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, waiting for the arrival of the prisoner car hijacker.
