At nearly noon, Yang Buhui suddenly ran back in a panic and said: "Today the city gate was not opened, and my mother-in-law and the others were blocked in the city. There is no one on the street now, and the Tatars ordered the whole city to be under martial law and put everyone under control." Everyone rushed home, and they are searching for my mother-in-law and the others from house to house, and they will be here soon." Xiang Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
Just when Xiang Yan was anxious, Zhou Zhiruo and a short, fat, red-faced old man who looked like a butcher in a butcher's shop jumped into the house from the window. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Xiang Shaoxia, Miss Yang, the Tatars will be here soon. Come with us quickly." He saluted the old man again and said, "Thank you, Elder Laoji." The old man returned the salute and said, "Beggars' Gang Emei We have always been on good terms with each other, so why should we be polite over trivial matters?"
The old man carried Xiang Yan on his back, and Zhou Zhiruo supported Yang Buhui, jumped out of the window, ran into a nearby house, bolted the door, and ran out of the back door. After running in the alley for a while, he entered a private house and still ran out of the back door. After turning a few corners, he ran into a large house.
After entering the door, there is a large courtyard in which many beggars in ragged clothes are standing or sitting. Further forward was a large hall with many nuns meditating. Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan found a corner to sit down. The old woman and Yin Li were resting in other rooms, and Elder Ji took Yang Buhui to find them.
Zhou Zhiruo suddenly asked Xiang Yan in a low voice: "Xiang Shaoxia, my master intends to accept you as his disciple. Are you willing to join Emei and worship my master as your disciple?" Xiang Yan was startled at first and couldn't believe his ears. , I couldn’t believe that good luck would fall on me. Speaking of people who can ascend to the world of martial arts, who doesn’t have a martial arts dream in their hearts?
Xiang Yan said ecstatically: "Of course I am willing. I am lucky that Master can accept me as his disciple. How could I not be willing?" He sighed in his heart: "It's not easy! After ascending to several worlds, I can finally become a real child. I have learned martial arts." Then he said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Thank you very much, girl."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "It's my master who accepted you as a disciple. What do you want to thank me for?" Xiang Yan said, "If there hadn't been a girl to say good things to me in front of the master, it would not have been so easy for the master to accept me as a disciple!" Zhou Zhiruo smiled sweetly, pointed at someone and said, "That is my master. After she finishes meditating, you can go and become a disciple!"
Xiang Yan followed Zhou Zhiruo's instructions and looked at Master Miejie. He saw that Master Miejie was about fifty years old and had a very beautiful appearance. However, her two eyebrows were drooping, making her face extremely strange and almost stage-like. Xiang Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the smell of a hanged ghost.
Xiang Yan quickly turned his gaze and asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Girl, how did you rescue the person?" Compared with the perfect plan dictated by Yang Buhui, there seemed to be some problems during the execution.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Wan'an Temple is guarded by Guo Qiang and the daughter of King Ruyang. Guo Qiang is the descendant of General Guo and Princess Huazheng. The daughter of King Ruyang has a Han name, Zhao Min. Guo Qiang and Zhao Min Married by the Tatar emperor."
"Senior also has a disciple named Xiao Zhao, who works as a maid beside Zhao Min and is trusted by Zhao Min. Xiao Zhao first drugged him at Prince Ruyang's Mansion, and we successfully took Prince Ruyang and Zhao Min hostage. Xiao Zhao also falsely conveyed Zhao Min's order to go to Wan'an Temple to poison, and successfully knocked down the guards of Wan'an Temple. Everything was going well, and when the righteous man was about to leave, Guo Qiang suddenly led his troops to surround Wan'an Temple. . People on the right path cannot escape..."
Hearing this, Xiang Yan asked doubtfully: "There should be many masters among the righteous people, right? Why can't they rush out? Do Guo Qiang also have many masters under his command?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Guo Qiang's men are all third-rate mediocre soldiers and ordinary soldiers. There are no masters. It's just that after the heroes of the various factions were captured, the Tatars gave them Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. Those who were given the Shixiang Ruanjin Powder could not perform well." Without their internal strength, the heroes of the factions were outnumbered, so they could not rush out. Later, in anger, the seniors cut King Ruyang in two in front of Guo Qiang, put the knife on Zhao Min's neck, and forced Guo Qiang to retreat. This Guo Qiang is also a sentimental person, and he actually retreated."
"We took the opportunity to leave Wan'an Temple, but not far away, Wan'an Temple and nearby houses suddenly caught fire again. Wan'an Temple is inhabited by Western Regions Buddhist monks, and these Western Regions Buddhist monks are very favored by the Tatar emperor. Seeing the fire in Wan'an Temple , the princes and ministers of the Tatars all rushed over to put out the fire, and they happened to meet us. We had another big fight with the Tatars. There were so many Tatars that we couldn't resist it. At the critical moment, disciples from Shaolin, Wudang and the Beggar Clan rushed to They came over for reinforcements and took us out.”
Xiang Yan asked again: "Why did disciples from Shaolin, Wudang and the Beggar Clan rush over to help? Weren't they exterminated?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Of course not. The reason why Huashan was exterminated was because none of their disciples who went to Kunlun fled back. The disciples who stayed behind at the gate did not receive the information and were caught off guard. And the Tatars were besieging Shaolin, Wudang and When the Beggar Clan went out to conquer the disciples of Kunlun, Master Kongjian of Shaolin, Yu Erxia and Yu Sanxia of Wudang, and Deputy Gang Leader Yang of the Beggar Clan all escaped. How could Shaolin, Wudang, and the Beggar Clan be wiped out if they were prepared?"
