After performing rituals for those who died in vain, Yang Zizai took off his ritual clothes, collected all the ritual items, and put them neatly together. The Black Iron Holy Fire Token was placed in the middle, along with all the other believers. Surrounded by these magical instruments, they worshiped three times very devoutly. Then, they put away all the magic weapons in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they had done it many times and were very skilled. After everything was over, Yang Zizai put away the Black Iron Holy Fire Token again and returned it to Chen Xiang with both hands. Chen Xiang put away the Black Iron Sacred Fire Order and had the entire process of the ritual written down in his mind. Using this method to transcend the resentment and negative energy of the dead souls can be effectively eliminated, which is already great news for Chen Xiang. But it would be a waste of time to rely on the way these believers hold rituals to achieve salvation. If a device could be created to naturally guide the holy fire in the Holy Fire Order to burn corpses and negative energy, then But that's great. Thinking of this, Chen Xiang carefully tried to figure out the process and capabilities of the Mingjiao rituals, while he greeted everyone to get on the road again and continue walking north. "Sir, according to Captain Hu's news, he should have joined the Mongolian army in Xiangyang City and worked as a jailer to look after the prisoners." Su Huaiyuan reported from the side. "Since the news came back a month ago, there has been no news about Colonel Hu. It is said that when the Zhang Hongfan family occupied Xiangyang City, they once spread rumors in the world that they had accepted the court's recruitment and announced that they would die for the Song army. And with the This was a banner calling on the heroes of the rivers and lakes to return to Xiangyang City to defend the city. Under the encouragement of Guo Fu, the heroes of the rivers and lakes returned to Xiangyang City again under the leadership of Guo Fu. Defend the city. However, they did not expect that there were no such top masters and military strategists as Guo Jing and his wife among the heroes in the world. Moreover, Xiangyang City had been in war for a long time and it was difficult to defend it. Therefore, it did not take long for Xiangyang City to fall again. In the hands of the Mongols. If I am not mistaken, the Mongolian Prime Minister Boyan is imprisoning them all and is preparing to force them to surrender. He thinks that their surrender will have a good impact on the Mongolian offensive, so he has not made preparations yet. Kill them." Chen Xiang nodded and said, "I hope the Mongols haven't taken action yet, and Captain Hu is safe and sound. If there hadn't been any news about him for a month, I wouldn't have gone north to find them. . Now we go to Xiangyang as quickly as possible and find a way to rescue them." After everyone listened to Chen Xiang's order. Only then did they realize that the purpose of their trip was to save the heroes in Xiangyang City, and then their faces became slightly embarrassed. Chen Xiang took a glance and knew what they were thinking. The Mingjiao has always been rejected by the so-called Jianghu righteousness. When Huang Shang destroyed the Mingjiao during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the hatred between the two parties has never been resolved. Now that the Mingjiao believers heard that the Venerable Guangming they wanted to follow actually wanted to save their enemies, they naturally felt embarrassed in their hearts. And now that everyone's common enemy is the Mongols, it seems reasonable to save the heroes in the same trench. ¡°Besides, they have just joined the Song Army¡¯s camp. If there is a dispute between them, there may be gaps. Although they are believers. But they are all Chinese, and there is no conflict between loyalty to religion and smoothness in life. Especially now that they are so down and out. He had just joined the little emperor's service, even earlier than those heroes in the world. It was the time when he needed to perform meritorious service to win the favor of the little emperor. They can give up their hatred for each other and join the little emperor's command. Naturally, they can also temporarily put aside their hatred to save those heroes in the world! After figuring this out, Yang Zizi naturally cooperated and sent out Mingjiao believers as scouts along the way to inquire about the current situation, making Chen Xiang's small team feel as if they were walking on their home court wherever they went. They can control the news around them anytime and anywhere, so that they will not fall into the Mongolian trap blindly. When they were about to march to Xiangyang, they already had a good grasp of the surrounding information. They even got in touch with some Beggar Clan disciples in the periphery and basically understood the current situation. It turns out that the Mongols put these heroes in cages without killing them. They not only wanted to persuade them to surrender, but also hoped that through constant competition, they would learn all their secret skills and then teach them to the Mongolian warriors, so that the Mongolians would have greater combat effectiveness. stronger. This strategy felt very familiar to Chen Xiang, as if she had seen it somewhere. If she thought about it carefully, wasn't it the same strategy used by the Mongolian princess Zhao Min many years later? "Haha, they are really a family. Even this plan is exactly the same. They are really Mongolians who live up to their reputation. On the other hand, it is the capture of these heroes, especially the leaders Yeluqi and Guo Polu.?Preached it everywhere, asking those loyal people to come to the rescue, and then gathered around to help, preparing to completely bury all the Han knights under Xiangyang City. Because of Guo Jing and his wife, Xiangyang City has become a holy place for generosity and elegies in the hearts of heroes. Now it is being used by the Mongols and publicized. It is like a slap in the face of all Han people who think they are knights. With a slap, some Han knights who thought they were powerful and well-informed would come to Xiangyang City to die. They all think that they are real heroes. As long as they can go deep into Xiangyang City and snatch back Yeluqi, Guo Polu and others, they will definitely inherit the status of the leader of the world and become another super hero who leads the world after Guo Jing. ! Therefore, there are Han and Mongolians with ulterior motives everywhere inside and outside Xiangyang City, strangulating each other to death near the dilapidated city wall. In every corner, behind every wall, in every cellar, horrific killings and torture may be taking place. Although the Han knights are all-pervasive, the Mongols are also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, turning Xiangyang City into an absolute meat grinder of death, constantly devouring the flesh and blood of the Han knights. It sapped their fighting spirit and fighting strength. After hearing this situation, Chen Xiang just smiled lightly. Now he has invincible power. When facing knights, they can already crush them to an infinite degree, so they don't care about the Mongolian conspiracy. When meeting a disciple of the Seven Bags of the Beggar Clan, Chen Xiang made a suggestion, which was to gather all the Han knights who had been hanging around recently and attack Xiangyang City together to rescue those who were imprisoned. heroes among them. Disciples in the Beggar Clan are ranked according to the number of bags they carry. Generally speaking, the person with nine bags on his body has the highest status, and the person with only one bag has the lowest status. However, this seven-bag disciple of the Beggar Clan is obviously the highest-status Beggar Clan disciple near Xiangyang City, and has become the highest-ranking disciple in the neighborhood. A hidden leader among the people in the world. He has an unattractive appearance, about forty years old, and has two eyebrows. A pair of triangular eyes shone with light, showing that he was not a mediocre hand either. He had long internal strength and strange joints in his hands. It was obvious that he had very good skills in both hands. His name in the world is Wu Liang, the Iron Gate Killer, which means that the palm techniques used by his hands are as strong as a pair of iron gates. The weight is unbearable. Although it is difficult to be considered a first-class master, he can still be regarded as a well-known expert in the world, especially in the current war between Song and Yuan Dynasties, when all the good players were killed and injured, and the truth came to light. It also gradually pushed experts like him who were originally not on the first line to the first line. In addition, he is extremely cautious and pays special attention to his own safety. Therefore, he escaped with his life in the iron clutches of the Mongols several times, and gradually gained recognition from people in the world. Chen Xiang's team has no reputation at all. Even Yang Zizai and others are afraid of being discovered by others as members of the Ming Cult, so they hide and do not show their faces. Therefore, Wu Liang does not know them at all, and this one is less than ten years old. The boy actually made such a brazen suggestion, which only made me laugh! So what surprised Su Huaiyuan and others was that the other disciple, the Seven Bags disciple of the Beggar Clan, snorted with complete disdain and said very rudely: "You are just an unknown boy, why do you have the right to command the heroes? Do you think Who are you? You're just a young boy who is no more than ten years old!" Su Huaiyuan said angrily: "You! Do you know who you are talking to?" Use the sword to kill the arrogant Seven Bags disciple of the Beggar Clan in front of you! Su Huaiyuan has the internal strength foundation of Shenzhao Sutra and Blood Knife Sutra. In addition, he has practiced Zixia Divine Art and Dugu Nine Swords under the guidance of Chen Xiang. His skills are already good, and he is protecting His Majesty, whom he respects the most, so he is ready to draw the sword. At that time, there was really a terrifying murderous aura coming towards my face! Even Chen Xiang waved his hand lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, Huaiyuan, they don't know our identity, which means our whereabouts are relatively safe, it doesn't matter, gathering other people in the world just wants to absorb some new blood, everything is fine Let¡¯s see how it works.¡± After saying that, he was about to take the people away, and after walking a short distance, he separated from Wu Liang, a disciple of the Beggar Clan. At this time, Chen Xiang said lightly: "My friend, please come out of the shabby house with the red roof. The people from the Beggar Clan have left. There is no need to hide." After hearing this, a Huang Ba and Yang Zizai, who were silent, looked at each other and found that they and their opponent, the two people with the highest martial arts skills in the team, had not noticed the man. They were immediately ashamed on their faces and a little angry in their hearts. They immediately threw a red figure around them. Surrounded by dilapidated houses on the roof. Under the pressure of the two of them, at this time, a man of about ten people walked out from outside the broken wall with a red roof behind the team.He was a six-year-old boy, dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked a little thin, but his spirit was very strong, which was eye-catching. He felt that he must not be an ordinary child. His face was filled with the look of hunger and cold, but his hands were white and tender. I don't know how he took care of his hands in such a troubled world. He stared at Chen Xiang closely, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the Mingjiao people who were surrounding him slightly nervously. They stood with their feet unsteady, obviously ready to fight. Just fight, be prepared to run if you can't beat. In Chen Xiang's eyes, this kid obviously has unique qualifications. His muscles and bones are all natural and his meridians are lively and natural. He is like a newborn without any impurities. He also has abundant internal energy, almost like someone who has been cultivating advanced internal energy for decades. Master. ?Looking at the luck on his head, it turned out to be a powerful force of clear energy! ! This shows that this person is not in the world of mortals, and his final destiny will still be to become a monk. It just so happens that he still looks so young. Naturally, it was because of his excellent qualifications and the secrets of some famous teachers he encountered. That¡¯s why we have achieved this today. "Who are you? Why are you following me?" Chen Xiang stopped his men from subduing the young man and asked calmly. The young man did not relax his preparations for counterattack at all. He swallowed nervously and said, "II am Zhang Junbao. I, I saw that you were in contact with that Wu Liang, and I wanted to give you a warning." Zhang Junbao? Zhang Sanfeng? Founder of the Wu-Tang Clan? Chen Xiang was slightly surprised. ?According to the subsequent history, Zhang Sanfeng was a very upright man. He is tolerant and calm, with an air of immortality. He is an unparalleled martial arts wizard in the world. He invented his own Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword, and promoted the Wudang sect. His fame spread far and wide, and all martial arts heroes worshiped him. He is a martial arts master of a generation, and more likely a top master who has already embarked on the path to immortality. His disciple Sun Zhang Wuji is also a master of the generation. He also encountered many strange encounters and practiced the Nine Yang Manual and the Great Shift of the Universe, which should not be underestimated! Zhang Junbao was originally a young novice monk in the Shaolin Temple. When Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, taught him four martial arts moves, three of which were "Introduction to the Heart", "Extending in All Directions", and "Who Will Die?", he defeated two long-famous Westerners who invaded the Shaolin Temple. . This shows how good his qualifications are. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng, whose real name is Zhang Junbao, was the apprentice and master of Shaolin fire master Tutuo Jueyuan. He was kicked out for violating Shaolin's prohibition against learning martial arts without permission. Later, Zhang Junbao heard his mentor recite " Part of the Nine Yang Manual. Coupled with Jue Yuan's usual teaching, the "Nine Yang Zhen Jing" is extremely pure. This also laid the foundation for his peerless master. Later, he adapted Shaolin Kung Fu and founded the Wudang Sect. It seems that in Chen Xiang¡¯s eyes, the young man¡¯s inner strength is endless, which must be due to the strong internal strength he gained from practicing part of the Nine Yang Manual. According to later legends, Zhang Junbao founded the Wudang Sect based on a part of the "Nine Yang Manual" he remembered, and wrote the "Xianjia Yi Jin Jing", which was born out of the Shaolin School's "Yi Jin Jing" and became He became a martial arts master, a top master and the Taishan of the martial arts world. He enjoyed a lofty status. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was a transcendent figure who led the world. There are also legends that Zhang Sanfeng originated from Shaolin, mastered the five fists and eighteen styles of Shaolin, and integrated them into the ten sections of Mian Changquan. He changed the combat method into a method of defense against enemies, and his style was closely related to that of Shaolin masters. To be different, he became unique and created the Wudang sect; also known as the inner family. After ten years of success, his reputation was greatly enhanced, and Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua and other branches were spread. Now standing in front of Chen Xiang was such a future great master, which also made Chen Xiang a little excited. He smiled slightly and said: "It turns out to be Zhang Sanfeng! You are not allowed to be rude! Master Sanfeng, you can go It doesn't matter if we talk closer." Yang Zizai and others had no choice but to put down their posture and let this inexplicable boy go. Zhang Junbao was a little surprised, laughed again, and said: "How do you know my name Sanfeng? I just changed it as a joke. And I am not famous yet, at least compared to that of Iron Gate Killer Wu Liang He is much less famous! Why are you so cold to him and so warm to me?" Seeing Chen Xiang's kind attitude, he became more relaxed and no longer so reserved. Such a demeanor is really hard to believe. In such an environment, he can still talk and laugh so happily. Although it is still a bit raw, he has already taken the shape of a great master. Chen Xiang couldn't help but admired secretly, and she even had plans in her heart to recruit Zhang Junbao under her command. Chen Xiang laughed and said: "Your qualifications are top-notch. If you cultivate them carefully, you will definitely become a great master, so I assert this. You will definitely become a great hero." Zhang Junbao took a few steps forward and said, With a big grin, he said: "YouThat's a really good saying. Several seniors have already commented on me like this, but I'm still just a little guy. I don't even know if I can survive until tomorrow. I just want to tell you one thing this time, that is, Wu Liang is not a good person. We suspect that he has been bribed by the Mongols and used as a bait to catch heroes from all walks of life, but we have no definite evidence yet. , so I¡¯m just reminding you. " Chen Xiang raised his eyebrows and let out a surprised sound. When he was in contact with Wu Liang just now, he had already felt that the other party had evil intentions in his heart. He was just afraid of the strength of his side and did not act out. He did not expect that This kid actually pointed it out so directly: "Did you find it? Who else is behind you? "Chen Xiang asked naturally. Zhang Junbao was startled again, and he laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about who is behind me. As long as you really want to save those anti-Yuan martyrs, you will naturally be able to see the people behind me. . " Chen Xiang smiled lightly and said, "I know even if you don't tell me. Because I can already smell the black iron! Come out! "Speaking of which, the wall somewhere suddenly broke, a golden light flashed out from the smoke, and a sharp long sword suddenly flew out from the concealment and fell straight into Chen Xiang's hand. It was The sharpest long sword in the world, the Yitian Sword! Then the figure of a girl flew out, and the Yitian Sword appeared, so the identity of this girl was revealed! She was the second daughter of Guo Jing and his wife, Guo Xiang! Xiangyang City was in a melee; at that time, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu took the child from Huang Rong's arms, intending to use her in exchange for the antidote to the love flower poison, but Yang Guo later gave up on this idea. When Li Mochou saw Guo Xiang, she misunderstood that she was the child of Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo, so she snatched little Guo Xiang away and tried to kidnap Yang Guo. But little Guo Xiang was innocent and cute, and Li Mochou was young. She wanted to have a child, so she didn't kill her and took good care of Guo Xiang. When Huang Rong recovered, she was anxious when she heard that the child had been snatched away by Li Mochou. Li Mochou fought with him. Li Mochou was concerned about Guo Xiang in his arms (at this time, he did not know that the baby was the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong), so he did not fight with all his strength. Later, he fell into the trap set by Huang Rong. When Huang Rong was on the verge of life and death when she was poisoned by the hidden weapon she sent out - the Ice Soul Silver Needle, Huang Rong had to choose between herself and Xiao Guo Xiang to survive; but this murderous female demon was hesitant. It was not easy, so Huang Rong spared her. At this time, Yang Guo happened to pass by; because of his hatred for Guo Fu, he took the child back to the ancient tomb, and fed the child with jade honey jelly together with Xiao Longnu. People came to Zhongnan Mountain and entered the ancient tomb to find the child. When they accompanied Yang Guo, Xiao Longnv and others to the Jueqing Valley to obtain the antidote, they were almost enlightened by Master Yideng, a layman whose real name was Qiu Qianren. Fortunately, Huang Rong was clever and pretended to be Master Yideng's concubine before becoming a monk, Yinggu, in a stupid way, and deceived Ci'en and rescued the child in Fengling. After Du Guoxiang heard about the deeds of the Condor Heroes, he wanted to see Yang Guo. Then Uncle Shi just needed treatment from the nine-tailed fox in Black Dragon Pool, so he followed Yang Guo to help them capture it. Yang Guo took Guo Xiang to Black Dragon Pool and met Ying Gu, the owner of the place. Yang Guo explained his purpose of coming, but he didn't agree. Yideng and Ci'en appeared and finally agreed to bring Zhou Botong from Baihua Valley. Then Yang Guo took Guo Xiang through some twists and turns and brought Zhou Botong so that the two could meet again. Hand over the spirit fox. Before her sixteenth birthday, Yang Guo gathered all the powerful people to buy birthday gifts for her. On her birthday, he personally led all the powerful people to celebrate her birthday. Later, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu broke their hearts in the Jueqing Valley. Reunion by the pool at the bottom of the cliff. When Emperor Meng Ge of the Yuan Dynasty personally led an army to attack Xiangyang, Guo Xiang was taken hostage by the Mongolian master Jinlun Dharma King; he was tied to a burning tower and was later rescued by Yang Guo in the third Huashan Discussion. The Sword Queen Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu went into seclusion side by side, and separated from everyone in Huashan. From then on, Guo Xiang began her journey to find Yang Guo's traces in the rivers and lakes. Four years later, twenty-year-old Guo Xiang passed by Shaoshi Mountain and wanted to visit Shaolin Zen Master Wose. It happened that He Zudao, the founder of the Kunlun sect, was entrusted by Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi to come to Shaolin to spread the message. He Zudao's skills shocked the whole Shaolin party. However, during the fight, he met the monk in charge of the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of the Shaolin Temple¡ª¡ª Zhang Junbao, a disciple of Master Jueyuan, followed Master Jueyuan to practice the Nine-Yang Sutra (Nine-Yang Divine Skill), a Chinese annotation of the Lankavatara Sutra, and his internal power became profound and he felt deeply ashamed, so he returned to the Western Regions.
