Chapter 123: The Cicada's Singing Buddha and Demon's Battle
The chaos in Sheri City subsided, and Wei Che ordered the swordsmen to disperse.
The chief steward walked into the villa and spoke harshly to several leading military leaders, saying that not only had an assassin sneaked in, but he also almost let someone escape when surrounded by the troops.
Which way should the dragon head be facing?
This lax military formation was noticed by the Jianghuai Grand Commander, exposing their own weaknesses.
On the other side, Wei Che was fined three cups in public, which further dampened his morale.
The heroic spirit of lining up the army and inviting Zhou Yi to come over when they first met him was gone.
Instead, Zhou Yi left an indelible and powerful impression in the hearts of the Yancheng soldiers.
When he thought of this, Wei Che, who was staring at the ice in the pond in front of the courtyard, felt empty in his heart and was eager to find something to fill it.
He waved his hand and dismissed the city guides called by the two clerks.
Take three steps forward and recommend yourself:
"Grand Commander, let me show you around Yancheng."
Zhou Yi had refused once before, but he didn't refuse this time.
Soon, more than a dozen fast horses galloped out from the gate of Wei Mansion.
The chief steward and the two clerks looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
"Has the Big Dragon changed his mind?"
"Ask me when you get back."
The three men turned around and went back to take people to clean up the messy mansion. They saw many big holes in the roof, all of which were stepped on by a certain general.
It can be seen that he is really angry.
"If the fighting continues, I'm afraid the house will be demolished."
"The arrow formation of these Tiele people is really powerful. If they were a weaker opponent, they would definitely succeed. That would be a disaster for us."
"No wonder Zuo Youxian was defeated."
The butler sighed:
"Compared to his martial arts skills, I think the most difficult thing to deal with is his lightness skills. Even if he suddenly attacks with his arrow array, we can only kill his men with our current strategy.
It is almost impossible to keep him in this mansion."
The three of them inspected the damage to the mansion while conducting a military simulation and review.
Wei Dalong led Zhou Yi to visit the first feature of Yancheng County.
It is undoubtedly "salt".
On the vast coastal mudflats, the scattered salt fields reflect the sky like a mirror.
The salt workers stepped barefoot into the knee-deep brine pool, gathered the salt-containing mud and sand with wooden rakes, waited for the scorching sun to evaporate, and then filtered out the crystallized white salt with bamboo sieves.
Wei Che gave instructions on the shore, explaining the salt obtaining and trafficking process.
Zhou Yi glanced over.
Around the salt field, mountains of salt piles sparkle in the sun, looking like snow-covered hills from a distance.
Snow-white salt mountain, that’s absolutely right.
The Yancheng army's formation was relatively loose, but they were well-equipped. Thinking of those expensive Ming Guang armors, Zhou Yi could only sigh that Wei Che was lucky.
"Master Wei, I heard that all your weapons were purchased from the Dongming Sect."
"Exactly."
Wei Dalong, who had suffered a great blow, finally showed some satisfaction: "The weapons forged by the Dongming Sect are fine and durable, and are in short supply. But as long as I place an order, I can buy them immediately."
"Because I have good credit and never default on their payments."
Looking at the snow-white salt mountain, Wei Che inadvertently revealed his local tyrant temperament.
Zhou Yi looked at Mr. Wei's expression and became more friendly.
That night, Zhou Yixie was in Sheyang City.
He slept soundly.
However, at Wei Dalongtou's residence, the two clerks and the chief steward fell silent after reading the letter one after another.
Wei Che sat at the table and glanced at the three military advisors through the candlelight.
Then he fixed his eyes on a certain line in the letter:
"My Lord traveled along the Yangtze River, passed Gaoyou, and first came to Yan County, where he met the Great Dragon Head. The rivers and lakes are vast, and the population is vast. Meeting each other once is a matter of fate. That's why they often say that the first meeting is the most profound, and the next time we meet, it will never be the same."
The letter described the situation in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and said that General Gongsun Shangzhe, the Tiger Tooth General, was preparing to march south.
The various situations are dizzying.
However, after scanning around, Wei Che's eyes were still fixed on that line of words.
"See you again someday, never again today"
He read it once, then looked away slightly. "Brothers, what is your decision?"
Yan County became rich because of salt. They occupied one side of the country with the intention of playing both sides and waiting to see what would happen in the world.
If there had not been the chaos today, after reading this letter, I would still be able to make some choices.
Looking back now, this ordinary letter can make them hesitant.
The butler was worried:
“It’s no surprise that Xu Xingzhi regards Grand Commander Zhou as his lord and praises him as a hidden dragon. However, from my observation of his style of doing things, he does have style.
But the current situation is complicated and confusing, and to determine the fate of the world, talent and martial arts are not enough.
The Western Chu Overlord was powerful, but he was ultimately defeated by Liu Bang. If we make a sudden bet and fail, how can we make amends later?"
The taller clerk asked, "Can I express my goodwill?"
Another clerk shook his head: "Look at his attitude towards the Tiele King. However, he does have the right to say this."
"This time, because of the Tiele Four Arrow Guards incident, we have already completely offended him, but we just haven't shown it."
"If he really manages to take the deer, I'm afraid he'll settle old scores. This little bit of goodwill won't end well."
The chief steward slapped his thigh and cursed the Tiele people's ancestors for eighteen generations.
He sighed deeply and looked at Wei Che:
"Big Dragon Head, you make the decision."
The two clerks also said, "Yes, let the leader decide. We have no complaints."
Weicher nodded.
That night, he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day.
A team of elite soldiers emerged from Sheyang City, led by the chief steward and two clerks, and escorted Jiang Huai and his entourage to the Hangou Ferry.
The sun is warm and the spring breeze is gentle, caressing the clear water.
At this time
Zhou Yi was about to set sail when he suddenly heard singing on the shore.
The sound of horse hooves came hurriedly, crisp and melodious.
"Grand Commander, wait a minute!"
A figure stepped on the horse's back, flew across two meters of water and boarded the wooden boat amid the horse's roar.
The person who came was none other than Wei Dalongtou.
He held an object in each hand and came in front of Zhou Yi.
"What else does the big dragon head want?"
Wei Che's eyes darkened slightly as he handed over two things: "I have two things to give to the Grand Commander."
"oh?"
Zhou Yi declined, saying with a smile, "I've already received such a grand reception from the Grand Leader, how can I accept another gift?"
Wei Che pretended not to hear this and first handed over a sword that felt cold to the touch.
"This sword is a divine weapon forged by the Dongming Sect. It is called the Cold Iron Treasure Blade and is extremely rare."
"I recently had the good fortune to obtain it, so I'm giving it to the Grand Commander as an ornament."
After that, he handed over a small sack that shook like sand.
He said with some reluctance, "This is my Yan County fine salt, please accept it."
He stuffed the salt bag into Zhou Yi's hand.
Wei Che said no more and jumped off the boat again.
Zhou Yi looked at the two things and said to Wei Che,
"Big Dragon Head, let's talk about seafood treatments next time."
Wei Che said, "I will take care of it."
"Goodbye, Grand Commander~!"
"Goodbye~"
Wei Che and his companions watched the sailboat sail away, with the butler and two clerks standing beside him.
"How did the big dragon head figure it out?"
Wei Che was about to answer seriously, but suddenly said, "Because when I visited the salt fields with him yesterday, I found that he is a man who knows a lot about salt."
“Know more about salt than we do?”
"He uses salt with great precision and mentioned to me his salt-baked delicacies, which seems to align with my approach to seafood. I think we're kindred spirits."
The butler and the other two were speechless.
Wei Che forced a smile out of his distress: "Seeing you're nervous, it's just a joke."
"Brothers, I hope my choice is right."
The butler spread his hands:
"Now that things have come to this, let's go back to the city and have a drink."
"Now we don't have to worry about the Jianghuai Army suddenly attacking our salt fields. When the Sui Army arrives, we don't have to worry about no one helping us."
"The Grand Commander defeated Zuo Youxian with a single sword strike. This is an ironclad fact. This time, our backers are very powerful."
“…”
Several people changed their words, feeling relieved and suddenly finding it acceptable.
Their main force returned to Sheyang, and they sent another elite force across the Han Canal and headed towards Liuhe.
Zhou Yi was standing on the boat, and Di Fangsi was discussing Wei Che with Feng Si.
It's hard to imagine that he would suddenly make up his mind.
When Zhou Yi saw that Wei Che didn't come this morning, he thought that the matter in Yancheng would be delayed, but he didn't expect that he would save the surprise for last.
Wei Che wanted to wait and see, but the arrows shot out forced him to take sides.
The Tiele King helped by accident, but Zhou Yi remembered this account clearly.
The death of the five great archer guards is far from enough.
He thought about the grassland pattern, and then took the cold iron blade given by Wei Che in his hand.
When the sword was drawn, a sudden chill arose, and the blade's light condensed and did not dissipate.
It is indeed a magic weapon.
The sword-making skills of the Dongming School are extraordinary. I wonder which sword-making master forged this sword.
With full sails, we headed north, entered Shanyang through the Han Canal, and then entered the Huai River.
Go upstream and head straight to Tongbai Ferry.
The water flow is quite fast in this section, so when dusk falls, we moor our boats at the ferry mouth.
Zhou Yi looked around and saw a long embankment like a python, lying in the vastness, with willows hanging down in golden color and new buds half an inch long.
This place is close to Xuyi.
Since Meng Rang fled north to Wagang, there has been no fighting at the ferry crossing in Xuyi, and the number of boats is several times more than before.
With the arrival of early spring, the Huai River melted the ice and flowed eastward, and the canal swallowed the cold tide and arched northward.
It is where the Tongji Canal and the Huai River meet.
At night, the ferry is lit up with lights and there are sounds of hawkers, which is very lively.
Zhou Yi stood on the boat, watching the swirling patterns in the water, reflecting the firelight, like dragon scales.
Only when two waters meet can you see such a scene.
I was enjoying the night view when I suddenly felt a gaze coming from not far away.
He had excellent eyesight and when he turned around he saw several figures standing on a boat three meters away.
When Zhou Yi turned around, the people over there also noticed it.
Suddenly a clear male voice shouted:
"My friend, could you please come aboard and have a chat?"
Zhou Yi was waiting for Feng Si and the others to come back from the dock after buying hot food. He didn't know the person who called out to him, but he thought it was a good opportunity to do nothing.
Suddenly, a figure in white flashed and flew three feet to the boat of the man who was shouting.
The people on the boat were slightly stunned, obviously not expecting this.
The person who was called upon to come was actually a master.
However, they recovered in an instant.
Zhou Yi stepped onto the big ship, immediately attracting the attention of all the masters on the ship.
The young man in the lead raised his hand and dismissed them.
Zhou Yi saw that there were three people in the lead.
There was a beautiful girl wearing a Hu hat, a luxurious skirt, and a jadeite hanging around her waist.
There was also a young man beside her, who was handsome and mighty, wearing a gorgeous sword and beautiful clothes, with his hair and crown neatly arranged.
The two men stood close to each other and seemed to be from prominent families.
Two steps away from the two of them was a handsome young man. He was not wearing any sword or shoes, and looked gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face.
This was the person who had just spoken.
Zhou Yi and the young man were looking at each other.
The young man and woman standing nearby felt strange and didn't understand why this person was suddenly asked to get on board.
"I saw my friend steer the ship westward, but he came from the Han Canal?"
"Exactly. I came all the way here from Yangzijin Ferry."
Zhou Yi asked, "What do you want to know?"
The young man said, "I heard that there have been many battles here. Although I have received some information, I also want to find a friend who is passing by to ask about the latest situation."
"Don't worry, there won't be a fight for now."
Zhou Yi looked towards the east of the Huai River and said, "Even if you go straight down the Yangtze River, you won't encounter any major fighting in the next two months. But if you go out to sea, it's hard to say."
His tone was quite confident, as if he knew the situation in Jiangnan very well.
The three of them had seen his skills and his extraordinary demeanor, and thought he must be from a prominent family.
The young man looked at Zhou Yi intently, clasped his fists and introduced him:
"I am Li Shimin, she is my younger sister Xiuning, and this is Chai Shao."
"May I ask your name, my friend?"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said without hiding anything: "My name is Zhou Yi."
When the three heard the name, they only reacted for a moment, and suddenly their eyes lit up.
Li Xiuning lowered his gaze and saw the sword at his waist, which was the cold iron blade bearing the mark of the Dongming Sect.
They are very familiar with the Dongming Sect.
Weapons like this cannot be bought with money.
Combined with his martial arts, temperament, and tone of voice, I was basically sure of who he was.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling flowed in everyone's heart.
The Li family is one of the four major families in the world and has great influence.
He is well-known in the court and in the martial arts world, and has close contacts with many major forces in the world.
However, there are some people in the underworld who are qualified to not care about their status as a powerful family.
The young man in front of me is one of them.
Li Xiuning and Chai Shaozheng hesitated whether to reveal each other's identities.
Li Shimin smiled:
"So it's the Grand Admiral who's here. My apologies. I saw you standing at the bow just now and I felt quite extraordinary, but I couldn't figure it out, so I couldn't help but speak."
Zhou Yi smiled gently and said:
"I've often heard that the second son of the Li family is a man of extraordinary talent, riding a horse through Yanmen Pass, and is the most talented man in Guanzhong. Seeing him today, his demeanor did not disappoint."
As soon as they opened their mouths, Li Xiuning and Chai Shao on the side were unable to interrupt.
Li Shimin ignored his compliment and asked, "Has the Grand Commander had a meal?"
"No."
Li Shimin happily invited him: "There is some wine in the cabin, why don't you have a drink?"
Li Xiuning and Chai Shao looked at him, thinking that he would refuse, but unexpectedly, this most powerful figure in the world actually nodded directly.
They are still thinking,
Zhou Yi and Li Shimin walked into the cabin while talking.
Zhou Yi could confirm that this meal was definitely better than the one Feng Sicai bought.
The table is full of exquisite fish and shrimp, of various types and cooked in different ways.
It seems that they were all newly caught from the Huai River.
While eating and drinking, Zhou Yi and Li Shimin talked about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and then talked about the chaos in the world and several major uprising forces from the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
What followed was unrest among the various tribes on the grasslands and the ambitions of the Turks.
Even the news that Yang Guang was about to lead the Xiaoguo Army south was included.
Li Xiuning and Chai Shao on the side were very surprised. As the saying goes, it is not advisable to talk about deep things when you are not familiar with each other. They didn't understand why they talked to such an extent when they met for the first time.
For a moment, it became even more difficult to interrupt.
They listened silently and suddenly realized.
This Grand Commander was not only concerned with Jianghuai, but also had an extraordinary understanding of the situation in the world.
At least, in terms of words, he had no communication barriers with Li Shimin.
Before we knew it, the food and wine were running out.
Li Shimin asked for more food for the third time, and Zhou Yi finally declined.
The two of them poured the last glass of wine.
Li Shimin asked:
"Brother Zhou, if you are going to rectify Jianghuai, what are your plans for the next step?"
Li Xiuning and Chai Shao came over together.
Zhou Yi looked at him and said slowly: "Sui has lost the deer, I should chase it."
Li Shimin nodded and listened to him again.
"You may not believe it, but I have no interest in the imperial hegemony at all."
Li Shimin frowned: "Why?"
"The cicada's chirping lasts only a single autumn, and a king's reign lasts only a hundred years. How can one reach the pinnacle of martial arts, attain the state of enlightenment, and seek eternal life?"
Zhou Yi sniffed the wine in the glass:
"But sometimes you can't just think about yourself. There are always people and things that you care about."
Li Shimin thought of his other identity: "I understand."
The two clinked glasses and drank each one to the bottom.
"Brother Shimin, let's drink next time."
"Okay, Brother Zhou, we'll save it for next time."
Zhou Yi put down his wine glass, Li Shimin stood up, and the two of them stood at the bow of the boat together. With a flutter of white clothes, Zhou Yi returned to his own boat.
Li Shimin returned to the cabin and asked for more wine. He drank and chatted with Chai Shao and Xiuning.
Chai Shao asked, "Is he telling the truth?"
Li Xiuning hummed, "He's exactly the man we heard about in Yang'e back then. I didn't expect he'd changed so much in such a short time."
"Since he comes from the Taiping Dao, it's natural for him to have such concerns."
"But I didn't expect that he would talk so much to my second brother."
She said in a soothing voice, "It seems that the second brother is still the one who attracts attention."
Li Shimin smiled. He was thinking about something, so he didn't answer his younger sister. Chai Shao said:
"There must be quite a few people who know his identity, but they are reluctant to mention it."
Li Xiuning poured wine for her second brother and said:
"Of course. He's already so powerful in Jianghuai, and he's defeated the Demon Sect's Grandmaster. Who would be willing to boost his power and make him the Great Sage Teacher?"
"Maybe he'll become a target of public criticism."
"But this person has already revealed his potential. What if he takes advantage of the situation and really changes the world? What should we do?"
She sighed softly, feeling rather distressed when thinking about the Jianghuai forces, and she could understand her second brother's feelings.
Chai Shao couldn't help but complain:
"It's all thanks to that Du Fuwei. I don't know what possessed him to actually give up the Jianghuai throne."
Li Xiuning said:
"This person may be a formidable enemy in the future, but judging from the current situation in Jianghuai, Du Fuwei's choice was not wrong."
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent for a long time, she couldn't help but ask:
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Think of two things."
"Which two?"
"First, we must speed up our actions. If we wait any longer, we'll lose the opportunity."
Li Xiuning nodded heavily: "Yang Guang is about to go south, and we need Dad to make a plan immediately!"
"Second brother, what else is there?"
Li Shimin stood up with his wine in hand, looking towards the direction where the man disappeared, his eyes deep as he slowly recited: "The cicada chirps for a lifetime, but autumn does not pass."
…
At night, Zhou Yi returned to the cabin and recalled what Erfeng had just said with a smile.
Erfeng's talent and vision are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If we only talk about commanding troops and fighting, Zhou Yi feels that he has no talent and not much interest, and it is difficult to compare with this person.
However, this world is very different.
Although the times are chaotic now, the dispute over the orthodox doctrine is even more intense.
If the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism all support one person at the same time, I am afraid that the world will be pacified in a short time.
Anyone who resists such great power will die.
Zhou Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
I also felt that this evening meal was quite memorable.
It was mostly something like "Li Shimin invited me to drink" and "I told Li Shimin that I wanted to dominate the world".
The next morning.
Li Shimin's ship went east, Zhou Yi's ship went west, heading in different directions
When he arrived at the dock near Bagua Mountain in Huainan, Zhou Yi received news from Nanyang.
It is impossible for Buddha, Taoism and Demon to support one person together.
This group of people did a big thing in Nanyang.
Also, there are people from the Great Ming Religion.
Yang Zhen is under a lot of pressure.
Zhou Yi crushed the information in his hand.
All the way from Huainan, he had been meditating to adjust his energy and spirit to the best state.
The closer you get to Nanyang, the greater the pressure you feel.
The whirlpool within the whirlpool of the rivers and lakes, the quagmire within the mire, are very different from the fresh and free martial arts atmosphere in Jianghuai.
No matter where you come from, when you arrive in Nanyang, you have to coil up.
The boat arrived in Yiyang.
As soon as he arrived at the ferry, he was stopped by someone. Lu Zushang was already waiting there.
"Uncle Master!"
As soon as Lu Zushang saw the boat, he started to greet it from afar, and he became more and more fluent in calling his uncle.
Others can't envy it.
"Is your master at home?"
"exist!"
Lu Zushang hurriedly said, "The old man already knew that Master-Uncle would be coming back in the next few days, so he left a few Taoist friends at Guangshan. If Master-Uncle is free, he can meet them."
"That's perfect."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I was just about to meet Fellow Daoist Song."
As soon as he got off the boat, more than twenty big men came to greet him at the dock, all of them calling out, "Master!"
Lu Zushang's welcoming team caused quite a stir.
Zhou Yi nodded to those faces that were either unfamiliar or somewhat familiar to him, then headed towards Guangshan with his Junior Brother Lu.
He walked along and said:
"Master uncle's victory over the Demon Sect Grandmaster has made him famous in the martial arts world. Even my fellow Yiyang martial artists know about this.
Zuo Youxian was the first person to receive the true teachings of the Taoist master. When the master learned about this, he was extremely happy and wrote letters to all his Taoist friends.
The people in Guangshan now all arrived a month ago at the beginning of the year."
"Oh? How many people are coming?"
"Three."
"Where are these friends from?"
"One of them is someone I know, and he's also related to my Louguan sect. His surname is Chen, and he's from Yingchuan.
I heard the other two came from Songshan, and this is the first time I've seen them."
We chatted all the way and soon entered Guangshan.
It was getting dark when we arrived at Lu's house.
Song Yinzi's Qingsong Temple is relatively small, and there is no place for many people to stay when there are too many people. It is more convenient to stay in Lu Mansion.
Lu Zushang was about to inform the people inside to welcome them according to etiquette.
Zhou Yi, however, was humble and went into the mansion with him and arrived at the quietest courtyard.
In the courtyard, Song Yinzi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, heard the footsteps and didn't care at first. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the figure in white at the moon cave. He immediately smiled and stood up.
"Friend Yi!"
Three other people in the yard also turned their heads and looked in the direction of Zhou Yi.
At a glance, the three of them nodded secretly.
The first impression did not disappoint.
"Fellow Daoist Song, and a few other friends."
"Friend Yi." The three men were older, but they did not dare to be arrogant because of their seniority, and they bowed at the same time.
"Come on, come on, don't be so shy."
Song Yinzi pulled Zhou Yi aside and said, "These three are already very familiar with Fellow Daoist Yi. Let me introduce their origins."
He gestured to an old Taoist priest whose face was flushed and who looked very energetic, but whose eyebrows were already gray:
"This is Chen Changgong, the Taoist friend. In terms of martial arts, you won't find an opponent in Yingchuan."
The old Taoist with white eyebrows waved his hand gently, his face radiant with light and a kind smile:
"You"
"In front of Fellow Daoist Yi, why bother discussing my little talent?"
Zhou Yi smiled and greeted the Taoist priest with white eyebrows.
The other two were about sixty years old and looked about 70% similar to them.
"These two fellow Daoists are named Ji Xun and Ji Shou, and they are cultivating in Mount Song."
Zhou Yi and the two Jis also greeted each other.
The old Taoist with white eyebrows looked at Zhou Yi, and suddenly remembered Song Yinzi's words. He took a step forward and said in an old voice:
"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Yi is well versed in the classics of various sects. I wonder if he can trace his lineage back to Master Zhengyi?"
He took some exams with him.
Under Song Yinzi's expectant gaze, Zhou Yi answered casually:
"Why are we happy when we come, and why are we sad when we leave? Life and death are one, dreams and awakenings are the same."
Chen Laodao's expression turned serious: "Great!"
This sentence is the theory of life and death by Zhenren Zhengyi, and it hits the nail on the head.
"Zhengyi Zhenren studied under Wang Daoyi and learned the classics of Louguan. Later, he traveled to Huayin and met Lu Jing, from whom he learned the secrets. He was said to be able to communicate with the gods and predict the future."
Chen Changgong nodded repeatedly, and the smile on his face became wider.
His Taoism is not unconventional, but it is extremely remarkable that someone can say it out loud.
Ji Xun asked, "Friend Yi, since you know the True Man Zhengyi, do you know Hou Kai?"
The four of them looked at Zhou Yi together. This Dao Cheng was even more biased than Zhenren Zhengyi.
"Hou Kai's teacher was none other than the Immortal Zhengyi, but he was particularly well versed in the teachings of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and he had lofty aspirations and remained unmarried or a government official.
After receiving the Xuanwen secrets from Zhenren Zhengyi, he lived in seclusion in Hangu, and later in Songshan, he practiced Taoism. In his later years, he recited the Dadong Sutra and the "Three Emperors' Inner Texts" to practice the method of summoning.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It turns out that the two Ji Daoyou are not only the veins of Louguan, but also very close to me."
"Oh?!" Erji looked happy.
Zhou Yi put two fingers together, first transformed the罡气 on his fingers, and then transformed it into heavenly frost.
As soon as these two secret techniques were revealed, Ji Xun and Ji Shou looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
They have learned both classics in a biased way.
But the person in front of him is the orthodox one of the Louguan and Zhuangzi schools!
This is serious.
Comparing the background of both sides, it is not an exaggeration to ask them to call him "Master of Taoism".
At this time, they called each other fellow Taoists, and felt that they had taken advantage of Song Yinzi.
The two men bowed with both hands, and Zhou Yi hurriedly returned the greeting.
All four of them were related to the Louguan Sect, and for a moment loud laughter was heard in the courtyard.
Lu Zushang, the leader of Yiyang, was standing at the door, but he was the only one without a seat.
But I am already very happy to be able to listen to the Taoist sect’s small meeting.
The content of this small meeting talked about Taoist scriptures and the secret of immortality that appeared in Jiangdu.
Uncle Zhou even took out two volumes of ancient books from Louguan, "Faxian" and "Xuanyi", which were eye-opening.
He also mentioned the Taoist master, Medicine King Sun Simiao. Ji Xun said that the Medicine King was living in seclusion in Taibai Mountain.
Then, they talked about the two evil sects, the Taoist True Teachings and the Laojun Temple.
Ning Sanren was also mentioned.
Lu Zushang felt that the martial arts world had really changed. The Taoist sects used to play their own games, but now they have formed a group.
The old Taoist priest Chen Changgong with white eyebrows spoke slowly but confidently:
"Friend Yi, we heard about Nanyang from Friend Song. This time we're staying in Guangshan for a long time, not only to see you, but also to lend you a hand."
"good!"
Ji Xun criticized: "We not only study the scriptures, but also know the profound swordsmanship. How can we allow the Buddhist and demonic families to bully our Taoist sect's true teachings?"
Ji Shou seldom spoke, but when he heard his brother's voice, he immediately drew his sword.
The sword shadow swirled in his hand, and he used a section of the "Big Hole Sword Technique".
Song Yinzi concentrated his energy but did not release it, while the old Taoist with white eyebrows exuded a strange aura.
Zhou Yi could think of more than ten Demon Sect masters at random.
Taoist master, finally saw another one.
Zhou Yi saw that the four people were extremely sincere and were definitely not just pretending.
I am grateful, but I don’t refuse:
"Thank you all fellow Taoists!"
Borrowing strength is secondary. The momentum of this door must be borrowed.
…
Bursts of spring thunder rumbled over Nanyang County.
It's the Waking of Insects again.
Recently, any news leaked to the outside world by the Nanyang martial arts community would cause a stir.
The Champion Coffin Palace has become a place that people in the martial arts world both yearn for and fear.
It is said that
When a martial artist is obsessed with martial arts and feels desperate about his current situation, a mysterious figure with a short and fat stature carrying a coffin will appear.
He will tell you about the secrets of the "Coffin Palace" and the ultimate martial arts.
When you nod, you will embark on a life-or-death journey.
Enter the coffin alive and comprehend the supreme power of the devil.
Afterwards, if one succumbs to his will, he will transform into a true demon in the coffin palace in his endless imagination.
Every true demon will bring bits and pieces of insights to the owner of the coffin palace.
All parts of the Central Plains received the latest news from Champion City.
More than a month ago.
The martial arts holy places led by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple attacked the Coffin Palace, but failed!
In this battle, three of the four great monks took part in the battle, as well as hundreds of eminent monks from the Tiantai and Sanlun sects.
The battle was horrific, with darkness and chaos everywhere. It is said that even the palace of King Garuda was destroyed.
The powerful ogre king Zhu Can was seriously injured and managed to survive by hiding under a bench in the palace hall.
There were heavy casualties in the Coffin Palace, and several leaders of the Xieji Sect were all injured.
However, the Wulin Holy Land not only has to face the masters of the Coffin Palace, but also has to face Zhu Can's tens of thousands of troops.
He made a mistake at the first moment and failed to capture the master of the Coffin Palace, and thus fell into a tough battle.
In the end, the masters of the holy land had no choice but to retreat.
Master Bu Tan, one of the four great Vajras of Jingnian Zen Temple, was captured by Zhou Laotan and put into a large vermilion coffin in the chaos, and his life or death is unknown.
More than 20 eminent monks were captured alive.

Everyone in the martial arts world has set their sights on Nanyang County.
