The sky is covered with clouds and waves, and the sun is shining brightly. The grass and trees bow their heads and the mountains dance. Thousands of times. Hearing Tianyu, he asked me where the five lakes go? The road between enemies is narrow and the sun is setting, and it is difficult to forgive if the grudge is not resolved. Thousands of calls. The wind stops and blows all the worries away.
Bai Yutian and Zhao Mingxiu, two great masters in the world, were fighting each other. The mountains were laughing and they were leaping and leaping; the ravines were sad, and the plain clothes were stained with dust; dust and mist were rising, making the sky and the earth dark. The mountains and rivers want to be eclipsed by it, and the heaven and earth want to be moved by it.
Where the hands rise, Guanyin comes to enjoy the music, Chang'e is waiting to fly to the moon, the immortal is guiding the way, the jade girl seems to be cheerful, the Huishan holds a red candle; where the feet fall, the fox steals the chicken, the sea lion swallows the elephant, the giant python is coming out of the mountain, and the mountain stops. Flowing water, Bitang is full of wind and lotuses.
The two of them seemed to have come from the long river of history, from the war of "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" to "The Legend of Yao, Shun and Yu", from the war of "Xia, Shang and Zhou" to the "Spring, Autumn and Warring States", from the "unification of Qin and Han Dynasties" to the "three-part world", from The Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties fought until the Southern and Northern Dynasties stood side by side, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties fought until the Five Dynasties. Finally, we came to the territory of the Song Dynasty. I just wanted to see who was high and who was low, and who would win or lose.
After a thousand moves of fists and kicks, it was hard to tell the winner between the two, with Zhao Mingxiu slightly better. In order to eliminate the defeat, Bai Yutian pulled out the Weeping Blood Sword and competed with Zhao Mingxiu in hundreds of sword skills, but they were still evenly matched. In order to decide whether to win or lose, the two of them unanimously chose to compete in hidden weapons. Zhao Mingxiu shot the soul-destroying Ziwu Penetrating Bone Nail, and Bai Yutian shot the thread-shaping needle that can hang the pot to save the world.
Although Ziwu Penetrating Bone Nails are extremely powerful, they are black nails. As long as Bai Yutian has good eyesight and quick hands, he can see them in broad daylight and naturally avoid them.
Because the needle is as thin as silk and is a white silver needle, it is difficult to detect it with the naked eye as it flies under the scorching sun. Moreover, Bai Yutian was extremely insidious and cunning. When he fired the silver needle, he yelled and screamed, interfering with Zhao Mingxiu's ability to identify the position in response to the call.
Zhao Mingxiu was already old, and his visual and auditory acuity had already declined a lot. Due to interference from Bai Yutian, he could no longer hear sounds and identify his position. He was accidentally shot in the left eye by a silver needle and became blind. There was no time to feel the pain, so he transported his true energy into the soles of his feet, ran quickly between the mountain ridges and ravines, and escaped.
Flowers are not flowers, fog is not mist. Come at midnight and leave at dawn. It came like a spring dream in a short time, and left like a morning cloud with nowhere to find.
The saint's reputation has been passed down for thousands of years, but it is no longer new. Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for decades.
Bai Yutian struggled to catch up, crossing several mountain ridges and crossing several ravines. He found that Zhao Mingxiu's internal energy was extremely mellow, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up for a while. Because he was concerned about the safety of Fan Zhongyan, Cui Yingying and others, he was afraid that he might fall into someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he gave up the pursuit and turned back.
...
Many of the masked men in Biluo Lake were killers brought by Zhao Chujiong, and all of them had extremely high martial arts skills. Although Liu Jindao, Yang Xingbiao, Ma Chuhe, Dong Xiaowan, Cui Yingying and others have extraordinary skills, they are invincible because of their limited manpower.
When Chen Xi heard this, he gave up attacking Zhao Chujiong and helped Liu Jindao and others leave.
Wushan Taoist, with the help of Chen Xiwen, fought against Zhao Chujiong and barely managed a draw. Being one-on-one, they were unable to cope with Zhao Chujiong's fierce offensive, and were hit by Zhao Chujiong from time to time. Although no vital parts were injured, the number of injuries increased and the situation became increasingly unfavorable.
Imagine winning by surprise. The two of them worshiped the same master, and their tactics were exactly the same. Thinking of escaping to survive, Fan Zhongyan guarded the border for the country, and his safety was connected with the fate of the country. The left is not right, the right is not good, so I have to bite the bullet and endure it, ask him "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old", and answer him "the moon will always be full if there is no hatred", do not expect changes, and let it develop.
Seeing that Wushan Taoist, Chen Xiwen and others were in danger, Fan Zhongyan helped Zhen Jinlian mount his horse and ran away towards the road he came from, with Wu San and his soldiers protecting him behind.
When the man in black saw this, a dozen people swarmed after him. He ran dozens of feet away, and just as he was about to get close, he was greeted by a hail of arrows from the officers and soldiers. If he could not dodge for a moment, he would most likely be hit by the arrows.
Half of the men in black were killed and injured, and the righteous side's combat power increased instantly, making it difficult to tell the difference in strength between the two sides.
Zhao Chujiong was so powerful that Wushan Taoist priests fought several times and were on the verge of life and death.
In order to help others get out of the predicament, Zhao Chujiong quickly captured Fan Zhongyan to avoid a long night and many dreams. He hit Taoist Wushan with all his strength, and then hit Taoist Wushan with another hard blow. Then he gathered all his cultivation power in the palm of his hand and shot towards Taoist Wushan. Strike hard. Unexpectedly, someone blocked the way. Their palms met and they turned back halfway.
Bai Yutian fell to the ground and asked: "Who are you?"
Zhao Chujiong stood firm and was about to speak, but Wushan Taoist who had just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth took over the conversation: "Zhao Chujiong, the second generation dragon slayer of the Dragon Slayer Association, the illegitimate son of Zhao Mingxiu of Biluo Lake."
Both father and son were villains. Bai Yutian was filled with righteous indignation and shouted: "Suffer death!" He jumped away and struck out with a palm.
Zhao Chujiong was by no means an incompetent person. He faced him resolutely and inadvertently displayed all the twelve unique skills of Kongtong.
Kongtong Mountain is located in Pingliang, northwest, and its disciples sincerely practice Taoism and rarely seek fame or fortune in the world. The martial arts people in the Central Plains are extremely unfamiliar with their martial arts techniques, let alone the martial arts people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Bai Yutian had never seen the Kongtong sect's martial arts before, and found it very strange. He was caught off guard and was defeated one after another.
Fortunately, Wushan Taoist's martial arts came from Kongtong, and he was very familiar with the twelve Kongtong movements: "Fragrant peaks fighting together, Xianqiao rainbow span, hairpin overlapping green, moonstone with beads, spring melt candle, jade spray colored glaze, Hedong Yuanyun, Fengshan" "Caiwu, Guangcheng Danxue, Yuanwu Needle Cliff, Tianmen Iron Pillar, and Zhongtai Pagoda" are all familiar to Bai Yutian. He reminds Bai Yutian from time to time, which helps Bai Yutian overcome the danger and gradually adapt to it.
Bai Yutian has the blessing of Qinglong to draw water, and when he releases his palm, his internal strength is slightly better than that of Zhao Chujiong. Wushan Taoist was there to help him with his moves, and he quickly gained the upper hand. Not only did he easily deflect Zhao Chujiong's attacks, but he was also able to take advantage of the opportunity and strike back, knocking Zhao Chujiong back.
After dozens of palm movements, Zhao Chujiong finished using his special skills. Wushan Taoist was talking too much. Not only did he not hurt Bai Yutian at all, but he was hit by Bai Yutian several times. Although the palm-receiving part is not a vital part, Bai Yutian's palm force was too strong, and the meridians were slightly damaged, making it difficult to gather the true energy. For the sake of his own safety, he inadvertently pulled out the three-foot long sword from his waist and attacked Bai Yutian. .
Chunyang Zhenren was once revered as the Sword Immortal by martial arts people, and Chunyang's swordsmanship was invincible. Bai Yutian received the true inheritance from his father Bai Yutian, and relied on his personal talent to spy on his ancestor's sword practice. His attainments in swordsmanship have long been close to those of his ancestor Chunyang, and he would not lose to Zhao Chujiong in a sword competition.
After twenty or so moves, it was clear that Zhao Chujiong was defeated before Bai Yutian tried his best. After ten more moves, Zhao Chujiong's clothes were scratched in several places by Bai Yutian's sword, and blood flowed faintly from many places.
Zhao Chujiong couldn't defeat Bai Yutian in fists and kicks, and he was defeated by Bai Yutian in swordsmanship. The key was that he was not good at sneak attacks with hidden weapons, so he had to admit that he was defeated based on reality. He suddenly attacked Bai Yutian with three swords. Taking advantage of Bai Yutian's retreat to defend, he quickly turned around and jumped away.
The silver needle between Bai Yutian's fingers was about to shoot out, but he thought that a sneak attack from behind was not something a gentleman would do, so he gave up.
Zhao Mingxiu disappeared, and Zhao Chujiong fled again. The men in black with their faces covered were in an isolated and helpless situation. They realized that it was futile to continue fighting, so they jumped out of the battle circle and waited for Fan Zhongyan or Bai Yutian. , Wushan Taoist, Chen Xiwen and others came to pronounce their life and death.
When Bai Yutian saw Fan Zhongyan returning on horseback, he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what should I do with these people?"
Fan Zhongyan took a look at the masked men and thought of a song called "Bird" by Bai Juyi (Who said that all living things have a weak life, only flesh and bones and skin. I advise you not to kill birds on branches. The son is in the nest watching his mother return.) When the poem came, I was moved with compassion and replied in a low voice: "As the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, the earth has the thickness to carry things, and gentlemen should have the beauty of adulthood. If they are willing to take off the black cloth on their heads and change their ways from now on, If you want to do good instead of evil, let them go.”
Bai Yutian then asked: "What if they dare not take off the black cloth?"
Fan Zhongyan said coldly: "If people don't do good, it's hard for God to save them. If they don't have mercy, they will destroy them. If they are unwilling to take off the black cloth on their heads, it will be regarded as unwilling to change their ways, abandon evil and do good. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, assassination of the imperial court Official, the crime cannot be pardoned and all will be executed on the spot."
Bai Yutian cupped his hands and accepted the order: "Yes, sir."
He turned around and walked towards the masked crowd and said loudly: "Master Fan has an order, God has the virtue of good life, who is willing to take off the black cloth on his head, change his ways from now on, abandon evil and do good, treat him with a ray of leniency, spare his life. If not , according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, all assassinations of imperial officials will be executed on the spot and will not be tolerated."
The masked men looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
One of them stood up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, if you take off the black cloth, the whole family will suffer. If you don't take off the black cloth, one person will suffer. You should think clearly about which is more serious and which is less serious."
When Bai Yutian heard this, there was smoke coming from the top of his head, he ducked over, struck the masked man to the ground with one palm, and said loudly: "Such stubborn people, even if they want to die, they still want to pull someone back, with such intention He is so vicious that death is not a pity.”
A masked man was frightened by Bai Yutian's true-to-his-word style and asked in a low voice: "If I take off the black cloth, can I really get leniency?"
Fan Zhongyan replied: "As long as you take off the black cloth, reveal your true face, and are willing to do evil and do good from now on, why should I have to take your lives without giving you a chance to change your ways!"
A masked man spoke up: "Master Fan, if the Dragon Slaying Society is immortal, even if we listen to you and swear to change our ways, we will only win our own lives for a while, but lose the lives of our family in the end."
When Fan Zhongyan heard such shocking words, he felt bitter and said loudly: "What is the crime of the Dragon Slaying Society? Is it collaboration with the enemy and treason?"
The masked man loudly replied: "Slaying the Dragon coerces heroes from all over the world to join the Dragon Slaying Association. Those who refuse to be coerced will have their entire families killed, leaving no children or old people alive. Helping Xixia to gather information and spy on military affairs can be found everywhere. Last time Xia Song Your Excellency’s plan to invade Xixia was leaked, and it was the Dragon Slayer Club who did it.”
Fan Zhongyan said: "I have said here that if you slay the dragon, you will die, and the dragon slaying meeting will be destroyed."
The masked man said: "Sir, can what you said count?"
Bai Yutian said: "Your Majesty has been concerned about the country and the people all his life. Dragon slaying will harm the country and the people. He is true to his word. You don't have to doubt it."
The masked man took off the black cloth, prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly: "If you can really keep your word, the common people are willing to shed their blood and sacrifice themselves to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Thank you so much, warrior. Please get up."
Bai Yutian stepped forward and helped the person up.
When several men in black saw this, they took off their black cloths and bowed to the ground, saying: "The common people are willing to bleed and sacrifice their lives to eliminate the Dragon Slaying Society, even if they die."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Okay. Strong men, please rise."
Bai Yutian stepped forward and helped the person up.
Fan Zhongyan said: "You heroes, please go back and settle down your family. Once everything is settled and you feel at ease, come to me in Qingzhou Mansion to discuss the elimination of the Dragon Slayer Guild."
The men who took off the black cloth bowed and said, "Thank you, Sir! See you later." They jumped away.
Bai Yutian asked the disciples and grandsons of Biluo Lake: "Are you willing to take off the black cloth, change your past and become a good person, or are you willing to resist to the end and be punished by the laws of the Song Dynasty just like this man on the ground?" Execution? Make your choice quickly, Master Fan has to rush to the camp on the mountain for lunch, so he is not in the mood to quarrel with you."
Seeing that the masked man seemed to be indifferent to what Bai Yutian said, Dong Xiaowan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brothers, Master, the old man surrendered to the enemy and treason, and committed suicide in the Song Dynasty. It is a dead end and has been tolerated by the world. If you don't want to abandon your ancestors, follow If he goes to another country to serve as a citizen, then we should treat him as a just act of extermination and draw a clear line with him."
Five or six of the dozen or so people walked out, took off the black cloth with great reluctance, prostrated themselves on the ground, and chose to change their ways.
The remaining few people were still indifferent. One of them met the arrows shot by Wu San and other soldiers, and fell to the ground in regret and died. The other people were all moved by this, and hurriedly took off the black cloth, shouting that they should change their ways from now on, and do good deeds.
Letting go of those who chose to reform and bury those who died, Fan Zhongyan, Bai Yutian and others rode forward on horseback and rushed to the camp on the mountain.
