Chapter 58:

The Journey to the Shanzhai

People in the Jianghu


At the afternoon of the third day, Shunzhu Road remembered that Xu Fu had not come to the temple to find him. He asked Master Yunwu if there were three people in the temple to find him. The Yunwu Monk immediately summoned the deacon to ask. It turned out that no one was coming. Taoist Shunzhu was very strange.

Monk Yunwu asked about the origin. He just told his old friends one by one about his experience in recent months and the details of the Jianghu Wulin's desire to jointly wipe out the "Demon Sect".

"There is a group of strong men who occupy the mountain as king in Bashan. Is it related to them?" said the Yunwu monk.

"What is the origin of these people?"

"Although it is a gangster, it is also chivalrous and righteous. It never interferes with the common people. Our temple is still protected by them. The pilgrims come up and down the mountain are safe."

"I'm going to inquire," said Taoist Shunzhu.

There is only one inn in "Dujiang Town". When you go to the inn to inquire about it, the boss says that he doesn't know, and that there are no three people in the inn. Old Taoist Shunzhu looked at the words and colors, and seemed to think that the owner of the inn was deliberately evading. He was suspicious. After a little thought, he stayed in the inn.

How could I expect the night to pass safely? There was no movement in the store. Old Taoist Shunzhu felt so confused that he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

The next day, he walked to the "Bashan" stronghold alone. The mountain stronghold is far from the main road. Although there are many hidden posts along the way, they ignore the travelling Taoists. The Taoist priest secretly explored the situation around the mountain stronghold and recorded all directions.

At night, the old Taoist priest launched his lightness skill and ran straight to the mountain stronghold. The old Taoist priest's lightness skill was very accomplished and walked like the wind. The sentinels along the way only felt the shadow shaking, and then disappeared.

There are many houses in the shanzhai. The Taoist priest hides under the eaves of the main hall. Looking inside, there are several people sitting in the main hall, and they are talking. The first two people are obviously their leaders.

"What statement did the three prisoners have the day before yesterday?" said the man on the right.

The next person said, "Tell the big stronghold leader that the three people have been swearing and swearing since they woke up."

The man next to the stronghold leader said, "What do they say?"

"They..." the caller muttered: "It's terrible to scold. What robbers and thieves? I have scolded enough!"

The man on the left raised his eyebrows and said angrily with his eyes wide open: "Shit! Aren't you easy to execute?"

"Their martial arts are excellent, and their subordinates may have an accident!"

"They are not good things. I think we should just send them away!"

The stronghold leader said: "Don't be reckless, my dear brother. I'm afraid these people have some history. They can't be beaten!"

"How do you know they are not the people of the 'Demon Sect'?" It turned out that this Bashan was a small Bashan, not the master of the Demon Sect. Only then did Taoist Shunzhu react.

"No, if it is a devil thief, the stronghold will not be so peaceful. Besides, if it is a devil thief, it will certainly carry out the sign of 'Demon Sect' to scare people. When they are calm, let me meet them in person."

"I'll just listen to your brother." The man on the left.

When Taoist Shunzhu heard this, he calmed down and thought to himself: "Since these people dare to fight against the 'Demon Sect', they are afraid of having secret affairs. Why not? Having a few friends is good for big things." After thinking about it, he did not need to save people and left the mountain stronghold immediately.

The next day, Taoist Shunzhu came to the mountain stronghold alone, but there was still no one to stop him. Go straight to the gate of the village, and then two gatekeepers stop and ask questions.

Taoist Shunzhu asked, "Is your stronghold master in the mountain stronghold? I will meet him."

"Please wait a moment," one of them said, and immediately ran to the people and reported.

In a short time, more than ten people came out of the main hall. The two in the middle were the two in the main hall last night, that is, the stronghold leader.

The minions who went in to report came up and said, "Please!"

Walk quickly along the old bamboo road to the front of the hall, and stop a few feet away from them. Looking up at the big stronghold leader, I saw that the man was eight feet tall, thin and capable, with bright eyes and protruding cheeks, which showed that his internal power was not weak. He put his hands together and chanted the name of Buddha.

"Buddha of Infinite Life! Is that the big stronghold leader coming ahead?"

The stronghold leader said positively, "I'm right, Taoist Priest, what can I do for you?"

Taoist Shunzhu announced the name of Buddha again, "Infinite Buddha! The Taoist priest has three friends who were taken up the mountain by the stronghold leader for no reason. Can you ask them to come out and meet the Taoist priest?"

The man on the left: "That's not the case!"

Old Taoist Shunzhu saw that this man was a head lower than the big stronghold leader, with a beard all over his face. He looked short, black and vulgar. He said, "Don't tell lies in front of real people. The stronghold leader should be more clear and hand over the people."

The short black man said, "Hey hey, why? Why should we have trouble with our brothers? Are you afraid of your nose?"

"The Buddha of Infinite Life!" said the Taoist priest, "Almsgiver, you are not welcome!"

The short black man laughed, "Ha ha, is the old ox's nose going to fight? I'm itching. To tell you the truth, if you have the ability, you can take it."

Taoist Shunzhu said, "What do you want to say, please two benefactors draw down the path and the Taoist priest will accompany you."

The stronghold leader said positively, "Taoist Priest is an outsider. Why do you have to see Brother Zhang? Can't you tell me clearly? Do you have to do it?"

Taoist Shunzhu said in a loud voice, "You two secretly use tricks to take people up the mountain without any reason. I'm afraid I can't tell you why!"

The stronghold leader listened to his main words in a blunt tone and was a little angry in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Taoist Priest must see a true chapter. My brother is not afraid of others. How confident is Taoist Priest?"

Taoist Shunzhu smiled coldly and said, "Hum, I'm afraid you two benefactors can't get much cheaper!"

The man surnamed Zhang was already fuming with anger, and said angrily, "Don't use your tongue! If you have the ability, let's see the martial arts. Brother Fang, let's go!"

Taoist Shunzhu said in a deep voice, "Two benefactors, please move!"

You say that this Taoist Shunzhu is the elder of the "Huashan Sect" and the ancestor of a generation of Great Xia Luo Tianqiu. Why do you take such a bold action in his identity today? In fact, he did it on purpose to irritate the other party and try their kungfu.

Those who can fight against the "Devil Sect" thieves and demons are not weak in martial arts, but how many layers of hard kung fu are there? It needs to be compared to understand. This is his real intention, and it is also for the sake of Qiu Er. In the future, when the "Devil Sect" is encircled, how many first-class experts are easy to be good, and Qiu Er can also make arrangements according to different people.

As soon as the words of the old Shunzhu Taoist priest were finished, the stronghold leader Zhang could not wait to meet him. His fist was a long fist called "Danfeng Chaoyang". It was powerful and windy. The figure of Shunzhu Taoist priest flashed to avoid the coming trend.

The leader of the Fangzhai Village did not neglect it. He jumped along the side of the Taoist Bamboo, clapped his left palm at the "Jingmen acupoint" on his waist, and his right palm met the "Shouyan acupoint". This is a move of "Beatles Chasing the Moon", which is more aggressive than before. Seeing the perfect cooperation between them, the Taoist priest didn't dare to be careless, so he flicked out the "flying god crazy" trick of "fighting across the river". The stronghold leader knows how powerful it is. Fortunately, it is extremely dexterous to move backward without finishing the move.

The main business of Zhangzhai has been attacked by Taoist Shunzhu. The two people are like shuttles and fists. Although Taoist Shunzhu has excellent martial arts, it is difficult to deal with it. He thought that the joint moves of the two people would be very successful. Instantly stabilize your mind to display the "cloud blowing and lightning palm". This "cloud blowing and lightning palm" is his unique palm technique newly practiced in recent years, which has not been used yet. Today, the ox knife was tested for the first time, and the real qi spread all over the body, and the sleeves were waved continuously. Fang and Zhang saw that their palms were overlapping, forcing them to suffocate. They were busy adjusting their breath with luck, and then came back again. The old Taoist put his qi into his sleeves, waved his sleeves to each other, and his sleeves spread out like a broadsword and iron plate. Under the opposite move, they were shocked and their hands were numb before they knew they had met the top master. Fortunately, their moves are exquisite, well coordinated, and their internal power is excellent. They barely managed to move under him, but only a few moves.

Go on, even though their moves match perfectly, they can't resist the powerful attack of the old Taoist priest.

The two stronghold owners saw that they were unable to meet their needs, and each move was like hitting the stone with an egg. Taoist Shunzhu's "Cloud and Lightning Palm" is the result of his decades of intensive study and lifelong practice of martial arts.

Strange to say, the two were excited by the words of the Taoist priest. They were so ambitious that they wanted to fight with the Taoist priest. Knowing that this action is beyond our measure, we will not admit defeat, and will only attack hard and fight with death. After a few moves, the two people have the same intention. The moves show the unique killer skills of both sides.

This baffled Taoist Shunzhu. He only wanted to try their kung fu. How could he expect them to fight with each other. It is not difficult for them to fall down, but it is difficult for people to fall down and be healthy. You should know that the move of the 'cloud and lightning palm' is very powerful, and it can be killed or injured at one time. Unless there is a body-protecting magic skill, such as TianQiu's "Haoyang Qi" and Long Ling's "Jiuyou Yin Qi" and "Xuanbing Magic Skill", the general master can be injured by the "Flying Cloud and Lightning Palm" even if he practices an external skill such as iron cloth shirt.

Old Taoist Shunzhu has a lot of knowledge and knows that the combination of the two is an excellent match in the Jianghu, and first-class experts can't beat them.

Today is really a dilemma.

After all, the Taoist priest is an expert. He had a good idea in a moment. Look at him with his sleeves full of air. A move of "Dapeng Spreads its Wings" rushed to them like a hurricane wave. Its momentum was unstoppable. The two men were forced to step back, unable to hold a stake, and tottering. This "big roc spreading its wings" is a unique skill of the "cloud and lightning palm", which is intended to hit the enemy in the moment when the opponent is unable to parry. The move is set in the middle, the move is fierce, and there is a hidden killer behind it. The surprise is prominent.

Taoist Shunzhu followed the move, but before he hit the killer, he closed the move and changed the move at the moment when he could not cover his ears. He gathered the "cloud and lightning palms" and stepped up quickly. He waved his hands together and hit the two people's acupoints. The two moves were as fast as the wind, and they both fell to the ground without thinking.

The Taoist priest stabilized his body and said to the two men, "The two stronghold leaders are polite! What the Taoist priest did today is really helpless. It's only good to forgive!"

Stronghold Leader Zhang opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "If you want to kill me, I will kill you. My brother will admit it. What are you talking about?" After that, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

The old Taoist priest was happy and ashamed to see them so powerful and unyielding. I'm glad that they have excellent martial arts and extraordinary temperament, but I'm ashamed that I didn't declare my righteousness in advance, but I won over others with my martial arts. Feeling guilty, he immediately waved to relieve their acupoints. He was seen holding his hands together and chanting the name of Buddha.

"The Buddha of Infinite Life! The Taoist priest didn't come here to hit the mountain this time. He invited the two stronghold leaders to come out and help Luo Tianqiu to wipe out the 'Demon Sect' together. It was just a whim. He wanted to try the martial arts of the two stronghold leaders. He acted recklessly. I hope the two stronghold leaders will forgive me!"

Stronghold Leader Fang heard that he was asking his brother to go out of the mountain and help Great Xia Luo to wipe out the "Demon Sect". He was overjoyed. He quickly bowed and said, "Don't be too modest, Taoist Priest. Since you want to wipe out the evil thieves, I will go through fire and water, and I will never die. Please tell me in the Taoist Priest Hall!"

The three men rushed to the hall. The two stronghold leaders held Taoist Zhu Shun on the head and the servants offered tea.

The village leader said, "The Taoist Priest just talked about Luo Tianqiu. Is it the Great Xia Luo who is famous all over the world?"

The Taoist priest nodded slightly. "The Taoist priest came here at the order of Luo Tianqiu."

The main way of Fangzhai said, "How do you call the Taoist Priest's name? What's the matter of this visit to Dujiang Mountain Stronghold? Can you tell me?"

Taoist Shunzhu looked at the two men and smiled, "The old Taoist is Taoist Shunzhu, the elder of the 'Huashan Sect'. This time, he was sent by Luo Tianqiu to investigate the situation in the main altar of the 'Demon Cult' in Bashan. Later, he invited the two stronghold leaders to go to the Danxin Stronghold to jointly destroy the 'Demon Cult'.

They heard that he was Taoist Shunzhu, the elder of the "Huashan Sect", and quickly got up to pay a big salute. Taoist Shunzhu hurriedly held them with both hands and said, "Don't be polite to the two stronghold leaders. I'm sorry for you. Could you please ask the two stronghold leaders to call out my three companions and see them all."

Stronghold Leader Zhang repeatedly said, "Oh, damn it! The Taoist priest didn't mention it. I was so happy that I almost forgot the three brothers. Come on!"

The men rushed to the rear. In a moment, the three were in the hall. Taoist Shunzhu introduced them to the two stronghold leaders one by one.

The leader of Fangzhai clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "The three brothers forgive me. The mountain fastness acted recklessly and let the three brothers be wronged.

At present, evil thieves are acting wildly. Dujiang Mountain Stronghold is close to Bashan. It's really a secret. Please forgive me! " After that, he ordered his men to set up wine to receive the wind.

Before the banquet, Taoist Shunzhu told Fang and Zhang that the four of them had gone to Bazhong and Bashan to spy on the details of the "Demon Cult". They were surprised. The two listened to Taoist Zhu and went into the tiger's den freely. He thought: "This skill is so awesome!" He thought that it was not unfair to be defeated by him.

Taoist Shunzhu looked at them and said thoughtfully:

"You two have extraordinary skills. I don't know who is your master. Can you tell me?"

"We are the disciples of Chen Haonan, the leader of Songshi Stronghold in southern Henan." The leader of Fangzhai said, "Su Yu, younger martial brother Zhang Daming.

'Pine Stone Stronghold' was looted by evil thieves, and my brothers escaped by chance and wandered into the Jianghu. They fell in the 'Dujiang Mountain Stronghold'. They wanted to gather their strength to revenge with their teachers, and thought they were not rivals of evil thieves, so they had to act secretly. The previous time, it was said in the Jianghu that Great Xia Luo defeated the Dharma Protector of the Demon Sect in the 'Danxin Stronghold'. We are not happy. We wanted to go to the 'Danxin Stronghold', but no one introduced us. Today we have to meet the Taoist Priest. It's a great honor! "

Taoist Shunzhu listened to him and looked up and sighed: "Chen Haonan, the 'Iron Arm Ape Man', is a famous disciple of the Wulin. The Taoist priest had a meeting with him more than ten years ago. His' Return to the Divine Palm 'has been quite popular. How could a generation of famous disciples succumb to the evil thief! Alas, speaking of the evil thief, the Wulin is really angry, but I don't know if he has a future?"

Fang Suyu said, "All have been killed by evil thieves! We were ordered to work in Jinling to avoid this difficulty."

"Did you two fight with me just now?" the Taoist priest asked Fang Suyu.

"Shifu has a deep affection for us. In addition, our martial brothers are extremely friendly and fraternal. Shifu created a unique set of 'Flower Piercing Wind Palm', with the 'Return to God Palm' movement inside, and encouraged us to join hands. However, this is not easy to attack under the Taoist Priest!"

Taoist Shunzhu laughed and said, "What's the matter? This' Flower and Wind Palm 'move is exquisite. If the Taoist priest doesn't fight it with' Cloud and Lightning Palm ', it's really difficult to win. However, the strength is not enough. The two can work hard in internal skill cultivation. This' Flower and Wind Palm' can compete with any first-class master. We can have time to compete with each other in the future."

Fang and Zhang heard that Taoist Shunzhu intended to teach them internal mental skills. They were very happy. They immediately left the seat, bowed and bowed, and said: "Taoist is generous to teach, I feel deeply!"

They prepared wine and meat to entertain four people. Every day, everyone talks about the past and the present while drinking, and studies martial arts. The two elder martial brothers, Fang and Zhang, are even more reverent to Taoist Shunzhu. The Taoist priest saw that they were sincere and taught them a set of internal mental skills. The two men memorized each other and practiced hard night and night.

Stay in "Dujiang Mountain Stronghold" in such a happy way, life is easy, time is like a arrow, and Taoist Shunzhu feels that if it goes on like this, he will make people stay and forget to return. He is happy to miss Shu and reminds everyone that it is important for everyone to remember, and hurries to pack up and set off to return to "Danxin Stronghold".

Fang Suyu and Zhang Daming took care of the affairs of the mountain stronghold, entrusted a competent subordinate to manage the mountain stronghold, and vowed to destroy the "Demon Sect" and then return to the mountain stronghold to enjoy with everyone

All the heroes in the Danxin Stronghold listened with great interest. Finally, they met with the brothers of the Chopper family and the brothers of the Fangsuyu division.

Elder Shanyun looked at Taoist Shunzhu, shook his head repeatedly and said, "You ox nose, this time you are really impressed! Not only did you go to the gate of death, order the genealogy of ghosts and gods, but also invited several first-class experts. This time, you will be recorded in the merit book as the first great merit!"

Taoist Shunzhu laughed and said, "Well, don't put gold on the face of those who are not dead. Let's listen to Qiu Er about their harvest."

Maybe it was because of his high spirits. Elder Shanyun had to joke with him at this time and said, "You can't forget your Chou Er. I'm afraid it's for Chou Er. You are so considerate. Ha ha!" That made everyone laugh, and was not active before the banquet.

Long Ling saw the two old elders talking about Brother TianQiu with an exuberant look, and her heart was filled with pride. It was like drinking a glass of ice water on a hot day in June, and she was extremely comfortable. She stared at Brother TianQiu without blinking, and wanted to run up and make love.

Song Ding looked at TianQiu and smiled. At this time, she had already recovered her daughter's dress. Take good care of TianQiu. It's really not to fight with each other. Zhang Wenxue has also been dressed up by her daughter as early as at the "Broken Soul Cliff". Although her heart is different, she still has a deep love for revenge. The four little brothers and sisters always gather together when they are free to talk and laugh and have fun. At this time, some elders were talking, and they didn't dare to interrupt. They just looked at TianQiu and smiled.

Luo Tianqiu also found out the details of his visit to "Dongchuan Road" in the past few days. Finally, he said slowly: "As for Mo Dongyu's' Ring Purple Elephant Divine Skill ', you don't have to worry. I have a solution, and I will know it then."

His words are obviously selling the beans. Although everyone here wanted to know about the Midnight, they all knew that he had other arrangements, perhaps for the sake of confidentiality, and did not ask each other, but a stone finally fell to the ground.

The group of heroes immediately talked about the plan to break the "Qionglai Sect". All the experts present here are experts from all schools and express their views. Some advocate going all out, and some think it is better to highlight the wonders; Some want to attack secretly, and some are willing to hit the mountain openly. There are different opinions, each with one reason. It was Luo Tianqiu, and Lin Xiaofeng said nothing with a smile. Luo Tianchou looked at Lin Xiaofeng and smiled as he spoke to others.

"Brother Gao, what's your opinion?"

First of all, Lin Xiaofeng smiled, and then said, "As far as the Great Xia is concerned, the 'Qionglai Sect' has a small number of people, but there are only two or three hundred of them, and there are only a few experts. However, only by relying on Mo Dongyu's' Huanhuan Purple Elephant Divine Skill ', can we be confident, let alone we have an internal agent."

"Brother Lin's implication is that we don't need too many people to go. We can fight openly!" Luo Tianqiu laughed.

"That's exactly what I mean." Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "Because they have a close relationship with the 'Demon Sect', our focus should be on preventing the possible reinforcement of the 'Demon Sect' and trying to destroy the connection between them. The best way to contact them is to send messages by flying pigeons, which is the 'Beggars' Sect's specialty. Naturally, we should ask Sect Leader Li to join us." Luo Tianqiu said:

"We can go to more than 20 capable experts at most, and they will never fight in groups until Mo Dongyu's' Ring Purple Elephant Divine Skill 'is broken. Once Mo Thief is killed, whether He Xixi, the elder of the' Qionglai Sect ', or Long Ling, has a certain appeal to the disciples of the' Qionglai Sect ', and they will not fight in groups easily. By then, Mo Thief has died, their hopes have been dashed, and there will be no war."

Luo Jiang frowned and said, "Just..."

"Brother Luo, if you have something to say, don't make trouble!" said Tian Qiu.

"Just," Luo Jiang said, "are we sure we can kill Mo Thief?"

Luo Tianqiu looked at Long Ling and smiled, saying, "Lao Luo's family is worried. I dare to say that I am 10% sure!"

Luo Jiangxi clapped his hands and said, "OK! Let's call for two troops to deploy. Let's start tomorrow without delay. How about that?"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Good!"

Luo Tianqiu immediately ordered a lighter group to go to "Dongchuan Road". Their "four big and small friends" took the lead, as well as the "three big swordsmen" apprentices, the Shushi brothers, the Fangsuyu brothers, and Xu Fu, a total of more than 20 people. He also sent Li Dongping and Yang 67 or more senior experts to "Dongchuan Road" to the mountain pass in Bazhong, cut off the contact between "Qionglai Sect" and "Demon Sect", and observe the movement. If the "Demon Sect" has reinforcements, immediately report to "Danxin Stronghold". Luo Jiang led most of the remaining people to sit in the "Danxin Stronghold", and the two sides met. The plan is certain. Everyone should take a rest immediately and just wait until dawn to do their own things.
