    Chapter 9 Re-entering Xiangyang()

    The next morning, he was practicing Qi, and when he was in a good state, he suddenly felt someone approaching. He calmly collected and dispersed Qi, and when he sensed it with his heart, it was Miss Guo, and the Wu brothers followed her slowly.  Quite reluctantly.

    Since she saw Xiao Yuesheng yesterday, Guo Fu has been feeling resentful in her heart. Although he is young, he is so valued by his parents. Looking at the Wu brothers who have been surrounding her, she sighs in her heart.

    The Wu brothers are handsome and talented, and their appearance is much better than him. The two of them stood beside him, but they were overshadowed. His deep and deep eyes, his calm and majestic demeanor made the Wu brothers look like childish children, shallow.  Incompetent, the love for the two of them has decreased a bit, but there is a bit of resentment towards Xiao Yuesheng. The thoughts of her daughter's family are really difficult to understand.

    Walking to the monastery where Xiao Yuesheng was resting, Guo Fu turned around and glared at the two of them with a pair of bright eyes. Then she gently knocked on the door and said softly: "Brother Xiao, are you there?"

    Suddenly there was no wind, the door opened, and Xiao Yuesheng was sitting cross-legged on the couch, looking at them with a faint smile.

    Guo Fu stepped into the room and said with a sweet smile: "I told you that Brother Xiao would definitely get up early. Brother Dawu and Brother Xiaowu didn't believe it. Brother Xiao, let's go out and play!"

    Xiao Yuesheng deliberately refused, but Guo Fu was still a child at heart and wanted to play all the time. He always felt that she and the Wu brothers were two generations apart, and there was an invisible barrier between them. Maybe this was the generation gap.

    Seeing that he didn't answer, Guo Fu hurriedly said: "Brother Da Wu and Brother Xiao Wu praised your martial arts skills and want to ask you for advice. Brother Xiao, please give us some advice."

    Xiao Yuesheng glanced at her, and then at the Wu brothers. They came into the room, looking quite cramped, stiff, and extremely uncomfortable. He smiled at them and said, "You studied under Guo Daxia, and you are the disciples of a master. Xiao  A certain martial artist is very good at ordinary times, so I dare not lie to myself. Moreover, these two martial arts masters are well-educated, and I am extremely envious of them."

    The two of them hurriedly clasped their hands, their faces flushed, and they were no longer the usual talkative self.  The two of them had seen Xiao Yuesheng's martial arts with their own eyes, so they naturally knew that his modest words contained a hint of rejection. However, in front of Xiao Yuesheng, the two of them were frightened by his majesty and were afraid of their hands and feet, and their usually flexible minds could not function.  , showing extremely flinching, Guo Fu looked on, greatly discouraged.

    Xiao Yuesheng said to Guo Fu, who had an angry look on his face: "Miss Guo, where is your father?"

    Guo Fu said: "My dad is practicing in the back garden."

    Xiao Yuesheng got off the couch and said with a smile: "I admire your father's martial arts very much. I just want to go and see it. Miss Guo, please show me the way."

    Guo Fu was happy when she heard that he wanted to see her father's martial arts. In her heart, her father was the best in the world. She was usually proud of being Miss Guo. Now let this guy see how powerful her father was.  She wishes.

    Yinjingshe is located in the west of Guo Mansion. There are several rooms next to it, separated by flowers and plants. It is simple and elegant, and the layout is good. Xiao Yuesheng guessed that Huang Rong must have done it, and Guo Jing was definitely not allowed to do it.

    We were walking to a small courtyard. There was a green bamboo grove in the courtyard, growing against the west wall. There was a small pavilion in the east of the courtyard with stone tables and chairs. It was quite interesting to sit here and watch the green bamboos rustling in the wind.

    Guo Fu walked in front, and when she arrived in front of the hospital, she called out softly: "Grandpa, are you up?"

    Qinglang's voice came from inside the house: "Fu'er, why are you here so early?"

    Guo Fu opened the door and walked inside, saying, "Grandpa, Brother Xiao is here too. He wants to see dad practice martial arts. Can you go with him?"

    Huang Yaoshi was dressed in a green shirt without a mask, revealing a face with slender eyebrows. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.

    He came to the courtyard and saw Xiao Yuesheng standing in it. He said with a cold face: "Brother Xiao, you are here."

    Xiao Yuesheng cupped his hands and said with a calm smile: "Island Master Huang, how are you doing lately?"

    Huang Yaoshi looked at the rest of the people, frowned, and said: "Very good, I'm sorry, Fu'er, you and these two boys are running around everywhere instead of practicing hard, and your mother doesn't care about you!"

    The Wu brothers were glanced at by Huang Yaoshi's stern gaze. They were frightened and speechless. Guo Fu's slightly raised mouth pouted and she said softly: "Grandpa, we are just thinking of practicing with Brother Xiao."  ."

    Huang Yaoshi snorted and said: "You guys go and practice martial arts first. I have something to do with him. I just want to play all day long. How can I practice martial arts well? Go practice martial arts quickly!" He pointed at Xiao Yuesheng and said coldly, here we are.  Later, there was a hint of harshness.

    Guo Fu pouted, her eyes were reddish, and she was so angry that she turned around and ran out.

    The Wu brothers hurriedly handed over to Huang Yaoshi and hurriedly followed him out.

     Huang Yaoshi snorted again and said: "These two boys hang around women all day long, they are so worthless!"

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled slightly and said: "Island Master Huang is too demanding. It is normal for their childhood sweethearts to be tired of being together all day long."

    Huang Yaoshi's expression softened slightly and he said, "Brother Xiao, why are you here? Why don't you see the girl next to you?"

    Xiao Yuesheng walked to the small pavilion, sat down on the stone chair, patted the one-foot-thick stone table, and said with a smile: "She has become my wife and has not come out at home."

    Huang Yaoshi was a passionate person. He chuckled when he heard this, and then he thought of his wife and felt sad.

    Seeing his expression, Xiao Yuesheng knew that he thought of his loving and loyal wife, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. However, she passed away for such a long time that she might not be able to save her life, and she felt very sad in her heart.

    The two of them were silent, and the sound of rustling in the bamboo forest could be heard clearly, adding a bit of elegance.

    Huang Yaoshi pulled himself out of his sadness for a long time and suddenly asked: "Brother Xiao, I have always been curious about why you are so young and so good at martial arts. It is really unbelievable."

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at the green bamboo swaying in the wind and said softly: "Actually, Xiao's martial arts is not outstanding."

    Seeing that Huang Yaoshi was about to speak, he stretched out his hand to stop and said with a smile: "I know Island Master Huang will definitely say that I am too self-effacing. Don't you know that this is what I say from the bottom of my heart?"

    He looked at Huang Yaoshi who had a thoughtful look on his face. He stood up with his hands behind his hands and looked at the horizon. A faint voice sounded: "People always think that the most powerful murder weapons in the world are swords and martial arts. In fact, this is a big mistake!"

    Huang Yaoshi sat on the stone bench and asked: "Oh? What do you think¡ª¡ª?"

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at him, smiled, and said, "It's Taoism. In terms of power, martial arts is far behind Taoism."

    Huang Yaoshi sneered and said: "Taoist magic? Haha, those are just ghost talismans to fool the people, how can they have any power."

    Xiao Yuesheng shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "The island owner is wrong. Taoism has been passed down for hundreds of years, how can it be summed up in one word like a ghost drawing a talisman. There are countless wise men in the world, but if Taoism is just a lie, how can Taoism prosper like this."

    Huang Yaoshi stood up and said: "When Wang Chongyang was discussing swords in Huashan, why didn't he use Taoism? Instead, he only used martial arts?"

    Xiao Yuesheng didn't expect him to be so stubborn. He didn't want to continue the argument, so he smiled and said nothing.

    But Huang Yaoshi didn't let it go and asked, "Does Brother Xiao know Taoism?"

    Xiao Yuesheng said nothing, and tapped the stone table with his palm. There was a "boom" sound, like thunder exploding in his ears, and the foot-thick stone table turned into powder.

    He waved his sleeves, and a breeze blew away the stone powder, leaving only the bare bottom pillar standing there.

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at Huang Yaoshi, who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "What I just used was the thunder in my palm. It is a Hinayana method of thunder. How powerful it is, please let the island owner taste it."

    Huang Yaoshi sighed lowly and said: "I was wrong. I didn't expect the power of Taoism to be as strong as this. If you put it this way, isn't this world the world of Taoist priests?"

    Huang Yaoshi has an arrogant personality. It is not easy for him to say that he is wrong. His temperament means that even if he knows that he is wrong, he will not admit it.

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at Guo Jing and the others who came over after hearing the sound, and kept silent.

    Huang Yaoshi was just about to listen to what he said. Seeing his expression, he knew he didn't want others to hear him, so he stood up and said in a loud voice: "Jing'er Ronger, you can go out, don't make a fuss."

    Guo Jing and the others were already standing at the door. He said, "Father-in-law, what happened? My son-in-law just heard a loud noise. I don't know why?"

    Huang Yaoshi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go out, go out, and don't disturb our conversation."

    Huang Rong tugged at his lapel to signal that there was no need to say anything more. Guo Jing had no choice but to leave.  Guo Fu and the Wu brothers were also among them. When she saw Xiao Yuesheng standing behind her grandfather with his hands behind his back, smiling as if looking at her, she felt ashamed in her heart, then got angry, followed her parents hatefully, and walked out.  When he was about to turn the corner, he couldn't help but glance back secretly. He saw that Xiao Yuesheng had turned around and was talking to his grandfather. He couldn't help but snorted, turned his head and disappeared around the corner.

    Xiao Yuesheng, who was talking, felt something in his heart, glanced around the corner, shook his head, and ignored it.

    Xiao Yuesheng continued to talk to Huang Yaoshi: "Island Master Huang need not worry. Cultivating Taoism is a thousand times more difficult than practicing martial arts. Excellent Taoism cannot be taught by people other than the Si Sect. Even the most distant Taoist sect, the Si Sect.  Heavenly masters rarely acquire superior Taoist techniques. I have been cultivating Taoism in the mountains since I was a child. With the blessing of heaven and encountering a strange fate, I have achieved this level of success. This is a natural achievement and cannot be achieved by human beings."

    Huang Yaoshi firmly believed what he said. This was only reasonable. He had never heard of such a strange person as Xiao Yuesheng. In fact, he had never heard of it.Unbelievable.

    In fact, most of what Xiao Yuesheng said are lies. To control Taoism, one must have the inner elixir and the five qi to reach the Yuan. Only the legendary gods in ancient and modern times have reached this state. It is impossible for anyone in the world. He said this to belittle his own strength.  Just self-protection.  He is familiar with human nature and knows that the greater the ability, the more dangerous it is.

    Huang Yaoshi sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be in such a situation. Then who did Brother Xiao's martial arts come from?"

    Xiao Yuesheng said: "My martial arts are normal. They are just used to strengthen the body when practicing Taoism. They are not on the stage. It's just light kung fu that is worth mentioning."

    Huang Yaoshi nodded. He heard his daughter say that Xiao Yuesheng's Qinggong was unpredictable and unpredictable.

    He was thinking for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about.  Xiao Yuesheng also fell into deep thought. In the original era, he read all the Taoist canon, which was an amazing act. Since the Taoist canon was cultivated, almost no one has been able to read it all. Because it is too huge, it would be impossible to complete it if he did not have magical powers at that time.  , but many Taoist books have been lost. Now here is a rare opportunity. I am very excited to have the opportunity to regain those lost Taoist books.

    In the days to come, the two would often get together to have a drink. Although Guo Fu was bold, she was afraid of her grandfather and did not dare to disturb him.  Huang Yaoshi is knowledgeable and Xiao Yuesheng is knowledgeable. When they talk, they often feel like they are close friends. In their spare time, they study the art of the Five Elements together and both benefit a lot.

    On this day, after Xiao Yuesheng had breakfast, he walked in the back garden and saw Guo Jing sitting in front of the withered flowers, frowning and thinking.

    He stepped forward and said: "Master Guo, what is upsetting you? Is it the defense of Xiangyang?"

    Guo Jing got busy, asked him to sit down, sighed, and said: "Exactly, the Mongolian elite soldiers are strong, but our Song soldiers have always been weak, which is really worrying."

    Xiao Yuesheng sat next to him and said: "Master Guo, you have led an expedition and are proficient in military affairs. In your opinion, can Xiangyang be defended or not?"

    Guo Jing sighed deeply again, shook his head sadly, and said: "I just hope that winter will come early. By then, Mongolia will have difficulty supplying food and grass and will have no choice but to retreat."

    Xiao Yuesheng also sighed secretly. It was only a matter of time before the Mongols broke the city, and they were extremely cruel to the enemy. If the city did not surrender, it would be massacred after the city was broken. He couldn't bear to think about how miserable it would be at that time.

    He said: "The elite Mongolian soldiers have accounted for half of the country, and all the cities they attack are invincible. Only Xiangyang cannot be attacked for a long time. When the city is broken, their anger will burn to the people. What a tragedy it will be then, Daxia Guo  Have you ever thought about it?¡±

    Guo Jing¡¯s expression was even more sad, and he was in a daze.

    Xiao Yuesheng sighed, stood up, and left the garden. His heart was extremely heavy. Although he had no sense of belonging to the Southern Song Dynasty, seeing the Han people being brutally slaughtered did not feel good either. He had thoughts of saving the world in his heart.  Bilie suddenly became murderous.

    It was night, in the Mongolian tent, six butter lamps were placed around it, making the tent as bright as day.  Kublai Khan is holding a book and reading quietly.

    Suddenly I heard someone say: "But His Highness Prince Kublai Khan?"

    Kublai Khan was stunned and looked up. He was shocked, but his face was calm.

    I saw one person standing in the tent with his hands behind his back, smiling.

    He asked calmly: "That's the little king. Who is your husband?" He thought secretly in his heart that his tent was guarded by elite Mongolian warriors. Although it could not be called a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, it was different. This man could know the gods and ghosts.  Entering the big tent suddenly, I have never seen such skills before, and I dare not act rashly.

    This person was none other than Xiao Yuesheng. He smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Yuesheng, I heard that Kublai Khan, the prince of Mongolia, is brave, courageous, and extremely intelligent, so I came here to see him."

    These words were so convincing that Kublai Khan felt quite uncomfortable and frowned slightly.

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled and said: "Your Highness must think that I am arrogant, so I will be arrogant for once. I want to make a gentleman's agreement with Your Highness."

    Kublai Khan sat firmly beside the table, gently picked up a bowl of milk tea on the table, and asked, "Oh? I wonder what the agreement is?"

    A flash of light flashed in Xiao Yuesheng's eyes, and he suddenly raised his left hand. Suddenly, his heart moved, his thoughts changed, he restrained his murderous intent, and smiled slightly. The milk tea in Kublai Khan's hand broke free from his hand and flew towards Xiao Yuesheng without spilling a drop.  After catching it steadily, he smiled and said: "Thank you for the milk tea, Your Highness. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it. The guards outside the tent have already taken a nap and will not wake up for a while."

    Kublai Khan was a little desperate. He wanted to throw a cup as a signal to call all the warriors to come, but he didn't expect that this man was so skilled that he knocked down all his guards silently.  As for this hand that shoots objects in the air, he doesn't understand martial arts, but he still knows how clever it is.

    Xiao Yuesheng chuckled lightly, put the milk tea into his mouth, took a sip,Enduring the discomfort, he gently returned the bowl to the table. He didn't expect that the milk tea tasted so bad and he was not used to it.

    He calmed down and said: "I take your Highness's head, just like picking something out of a bag. Your Highness must no longer doubt this, and the same is true for Your Highness taking the heads of common people." At this point, he stopped and looked at it.  Kublai Khan, seeing that he did not show any anger, nodded secretly.

    Xiao Yuesheng continued: "I would like to make a gentleman's agreement. Your Highness must agree not to kill people indiscriminately, and I can train the guards around you to be masters to ensure the absolute safety of Your Highness. I wonder if Your Highness has any doubts?"

    Kublai Khan is a little funny. Massacring the people is not just a shock, but also a need. The Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled, but the number is too small after all. Even if the Song people are weak and their numbers are huge, they are still a threat. Massacring the people, although cruel  , but it is the most effective means of control.

    Seeing the hesitation on his face, Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't rush to answer now. I'll come back tomorrow night to wait for the news. I offend you so much, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive me. Oh, I have something to say in parting, and it's outside your Highness's tent.  Although the guards are the only warriors in the army, they are really not worth mentioning to people in the martial arts world. Your Highness must choose carefully. With that said, I say goodbye!"

    After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared.
