The Kunlun Sect, named after the Kunlun Mountains, was located on the western border of the Song Dynasty, far away in the Western Regions, and rarely touched the Central Plains. It was originally a small and insignificant sect in the world.
The Kunlun School has a long history. As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the leader of the Kunlun School at that time, "Taoist Xianyun", had the opportunity to acquire the amazing "Tianshi Sword Technique". As a result, he traveled across the world and repeatedly defeated the martial arts masters of the Central Plains, causing a sensation. The world.
In February of the fourth year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty.
Kunlun sect, secret room of the master's sect.
The master secret room of the Kunlun Sect is the advanced training place for Kunlun Sect disciples. It is located at Yunbo Peak in the back mountain of Kunlun;
Surrounded by clouds and mist, Yunbo Peak is a rare treasure in the Kunlun Mountains. It exudes a majestic atmosphere in the vast fairyland.
"Junior brother Yunfan, master calls you to go to Zichen Hall." Kunlun disciple Chen Zishan, who was dressed in a green robe, a hero's scarf, a handsome face and a long sword, walked quickly to the door of the master's secret room and shouted,
A young man who was practicing in the master's secret room slowly came out after hearing the sound. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair complexion, a delicate face, a slender figure, a handsome face with clear features like a sculpture, and a face like sword eyebrows and starry eyes. , but also reveals a hint of the childishness of a young man.
The young man's name is Yang Yunfan, and he is a direct disciple of Zhou Buhuo, the head of the Kunlun Sect.
"Oh? Senior brother, do you know what Master wants to see me for?" Yang Yunfan was wearing a green shirt, his hair tied into a bun on top of his head, and a green belt around his waist. He was covered in sweat. He saw his senior brother Chen Zishan calling him to go to Zichen Hall, where he was practicing Tianshi. He, who was good at swordsmanship, put away his sword and asked doubtfully.
Because the Zichen Hall is the most sacred place in the sect, the master will only recruit disciples to go there when major events occur or when the sect has major ceremonies.
"I don't know either. Looking at the serious look on Master's face, I don't dare to ask. You'd better ask yourself." Chen Zishan looked at this little junior brother who was a few years younger than him but was highly valued by his master and said with a smile.
"knew". Yang Yunfan responded and followed his senior brother Chen Zishan quickly towards the Zichen Hall with a suspicious look on his face.
Zichen Hall is located in the front row of the three main halls of the Kunlun Sect, followed by Ziyang Hall and Ziguang Hall.
Walking from the stone steps into the mountain gate, you will see the Zichen Hall in front of you. The courtyard walls built with tall boulders are arranged neatly in rows, and brackets are built under the eaves of the walls, making them look simple and heavy.
To the west of Zichen Hall is the famous Kunlun Lake. In the center of the lake is a pavilion connected to the shore. As soon as midsummer arrives, the lake is full of lotus flowers, which is really beautiful.
To the east of Zichen Hall is Cangding Peak, the highest peak of the Kunlun Sect. There is a cloud tower on the top of the peak. The cloud tower is located on the side of the main peak of Cangding Peak. It is surrounded by pavilions and bridges. It is majestic.
At that time, Zhou Buhuo held a martial arts conference at Cangding Peak, and then led the elites of various sects to follow the Song army in the northern expedition to Khitan;
Climbing the tower and looking out, I saw the mist steaming and the clouds floating in the Kunlun Mountains in the distance, majestic and panoramic. At the foot of Cangding Mountain is an open area, which is the school grounds for Kunlun disciples to practice martial arts.
Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan walked through the school performance field and saw senior brother Feng Ziyu, second senior brother Lin Zike, third senior brother Xie Ziyu and sixth junior brother Liu Ziqing sweating profusely in the school ground, playing catch-up and sparring, practicing martial arts, with roars and shadows of swords.
The two of them then clasped their fists and saluted their fellow disciples.
When everyone saw Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan, they knew that they had been summoned by the master for something important, so they didn't say much. Senior Brother Feng Ziyu smiled and said to the two of them: "Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, Master is waiting for you, go quickly."
The two of them walked towards Zichen Hall without stopping.
Zichen Hall, a building similar to a royal palace, was first built in the Sui Dynasty. It has been repaired and renovated many times, and its simplicity reveals solemnity and majesty.
In the Zichen Hall, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and a purple crown, a long beard and a beautiful beard, a slim figure and an immortal spirit was sitting in the hall. It was Zhou Buhuo, the 23rd head of the Kunlun Sect.
Zhou Buhuo is wearing a blue robe, a purple waistband, and his hair is black and white. Although he is over fifty years old, his energy and energy make people forget his age.
Sitting next to him was another middle-aged man in purple robes. He was rather fat, but his eyes were so deep and sharp that people dared not look directly into them. This man was none other than Chen Buwei, the elder of the Kunlun Sect.
Elder Chen is in charge of the Kunlun Sect's rules and regulations, and he has always shown himself to be dignified and resolute. All the Kunlun Sect's disciples are in awe of him.
"Disciple pays homage to Master, Elder Chen." Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan bowed and bowed.
"You two, get up, Fan'er, do you know why my master called you here?" Zhou Buhuo glanced at the two of them and then turned his attention to Yang Yunfan, looking at his favorite disciple and said slowly.
"Disciple, I don't know, please ask master to make it clear." Yang Yunfan bowed and clasped his fists in confusion and replied.
"Sit down first, I will teach you slowly." Zhou Buhuo gestured for the two of them to sit down and said.
"Well, you are now over eighteen. It's time for you to know some things. You have been asking me about your life experience for many years. I can tell you today." Zhou Buhuo's expression seemed to be lost in painful memories and deep thoughts.
"This matter started from my Northern Expedition to Khitan during the Song Dynasty eighteen years ago..." Zhou Buhuo picked up the tea cup on the desk beside him and took a sip, and said slowly.
"In the third year of Yongxi's reign, our army of the Song Dynasty made a northern expedition to Khitan. The imperial court sent three armies, namely the East, Central and West armies, to attack the Liao region. The deputy commander of the West Route Army, Yang Ye, was your grandfather. Your father was a pioneer. Military General Yang Yanhui..." When Zhou Buhuo said this, he did not continue to speak, but looked at Yang Yunfan, as if he wanted him to digest the impact of this fact.
When Yang Yunfan heard this, he was stunned. He opened his eyes wide, tilted his head and looked at his master Zhou Buhuo with questioning eyes, as if to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
He had heard stories about the Yang family generals from his brothers since he was a child. The "Golden Sword Yang Wudi" was powerful in Mobei. The other Yang family generals were also brave and good at fighting. Because the Yang family generals repeatedly defeated the Liao army, This made the Liao army feel timid every time they saw the flag with the word "Yang".
However, he never expected that these famous heroes were actually his family members, and that he was a descendant of the Yang family generals.
Zhou Buhuo nodded slightly and continued: "At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army of the Song Dynasty was Pan Mei, the military governor of the Zhongwu Army. Wang Shen, the commander of the Xishanggemen, and Liu Wenyu, the commander of the Shunzhou regiment, were the supervisors of the left and right armies."
At that time, Yang Ye, Lao Linggong, who was the deputy commander of the West Route Army, sent a hero message to Wulin, calling on knights from all sides to defeat Yanyun and regain the old land. "
"As a teacher, I led the disciples of my sect and the elites of various sects in the rivers and lakes. In response to Yang Laolinggong's order, I selected a group of martial arts masters and followed Yang Laolinggong's West Route Army northward...;
"At that time, the relatively well-known gangs in the world, such as the Shaolin Sect, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, Tangmen, and even larger gangs in various places, all sent their elite disciples to participate in the Song Army's Northern Expedition."
There was a hint of pride and yearning in Zhou Buhuo's solemn expression, as if he had returned to that era of twists and turns and intense ambition.
"Yang Lao Linggong's military exploits during the Northern Expedition aroused the jealousy of Wang Shen and Liu Wenyu, the supervisors. They threatened Lao Linggong with the charge of "fearing the enemy" and forced him to fight against the Liao army, which was several times larger than theirs. In the end, Old Linggong was isolated and helpless, wounded and captured. Most of Old Linggong's men died in the battle. Among Old Linggong's four sons, three died and one was missing. Most of his men died in the battle. All major rivers and lakes who followed the army in the Northern Expedition The elites of the sect also suffered heavy losses. Under the protection of the army, we fought to the death to help you break through the siege and return to the territory."
"Then how was I saved by Master?" Yang Yunfan changed this heavy topic and asked.
"Old Linggong knew that it was impossible for so many people to break out of the encirclement. You were still in your infancy at that time, and your mother died of illness just after giving birth to you. It was the time of the war and there was no time to accommodate you, so your father had no choice but to Take you with me in the army. After your father died in the battle, your grandfather Yang Laoling found me and asked me and other Jianghu people to break out of the encirclement with you as an infant. He also sent a small number of troops to help us fight our way out. Bloody road..."
In order to attract the attention of the Liao army and enable us to successfully break out of the encirclement, Old Linggong led the remaining troops in a decisive battle with the Liao army. In the end, after being exhausted and exhausted, Old Linggong was seriously injured and captured. The Liao army persuaded him to surrender, but he was Your Majesty categorically refuted it, and finally died in three days."
