The heavens are happy

Chapter 56
"Xia Yizhang? Which faction is this?" Zhou Dian asked curiously.

"Ahem! This is Xiayizhuang, a small village near HD. I once met Cheng Kun here. Later, I followed him and found that he went to the Ruyang Palace. Now Cheng Kun has taken refuge in Ruyang King."

"What? King Ruyang! It's him!"

"Cheng Kun actually joined Yuan Ting?"

All the people here are high-level people in the Ming Cult, and they have dealt with this King Ruyang for many years.Therefore, as soon as Yang Xiao said the name of King Ruyang, everyone's expression changed.

Ruyang King Chahantmuer, the official residence of the Taiwei, is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. He has been fighting against the Mingjiao army for these years. Mingjiao's several uprisings have been put down by this person. It can be said that the throne of Ruyang King belongs to Mingjiao. Paved with blood.

"That's right, it's our old friend King Ruyang. Because our religion has been engaged in the anti-Yuan cause, we have fought against the government many times. Therefore, the court hates us like a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and wants to get rid of it quickly. The old thief Cheng Kun also It is a lifelong long-cherished wish to destroy this sect, so the two really share the same taste, and they are in collusion, and they hit it off, and they are in the same boat!" Yang Xiao shook his head and sighed while talking.

"I didn't expect Cheng Kun to join forces with King Ruyang. If Yang Zuoshi didn't say anything, our brothers would still be kept in the dark!"

"Brothers, because of this, in addition to the martial arts sects, the Yuan Dynasty government has long been eyeing our Mingjiao. It's just that we have many masters of Mingjiao, and the rebel forces in our various places are huge. Therefore, if the Yuan Dynasty directly attacks For us, the consumption is too great, so we join forces with Cheng Kun to use various schemes.

As far as Yang knows, Cheng Kun and King Ruyang have been inciting Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong and other famous sects to be enemies of our sect. In addition, he has continued to provoke the relationship between our sect. Over the years, our Ming sect has been defeated by him. It was a mess and a mess.

It is precisely because of such news that Yang has decided to reorganize the sect, unite the five scattered people and the Dharma Kings, organize the religious affairs together, and fight against the imperial court. The current situation is extremely critical. If we are not careful, the foundation of Mingjiao will be lost! "

"I see, I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed! Zuo Yang is dedicated to the public, and he has worked so hard for the great cause of our religion. We are actually in trouble with Zuo Yang. It's really... hey!"

He sighed heavily while speaking.

"Yang Zuoshi, you have paid so much for our religion, and the surname Zhou insulted you like that before, and you treated me like this regardless of the past, I... I am sorry for you!"

As Zhou Dian said, he slapped himself fiercely on the face, and Yang Xiao hurriedly slapped him with a yang finger force, blocking the blow.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing! Why is this so? We are all brothers in this religion, regardless of you and me. I blame Yang Xiao for not explaining the situation earlier."

"However, it is precisely because of this that I have the opportunity to find out about Brother Fan again."

"What? News about Fan Yao?" After being bombarded with so many heavy news by Yang Xiao in one day, everyone felt a little numb, but when they heard Yang Xiao's sudden announcement of Fan Yao's news at this moment, everyone was shocked. Still exclaiming in succession.

"Yes, it should be Fan Youshi!"

"Should? How do you say that?" Wei Yi smiled and wondered.

"Yes, Yang Zuoshi, Fan Youshi, is he alive or dead?"

Yang Xiao said: "At that time, in order to trace Cheng Kun's whereabouts, I followed him all the way into the Ruyang Palace, because there are many masters in the Ruyang Palace, and I didn't dare to trust him, so I hid my figure and lurked in the dark. .

In the palace, I saw a person from a distance, although that person's appearance was ruined, but I think his figure is very similar to Brother Fan.You must know that Brother Fan and I spend the longest time together in this teaching, and we have the best relationship.The name of the Second Immortal of Xiaoyao is known to everyone in the Jianghu, so I felt that this figure was too familiar from a distance, so I paid attention to it. Later, I saw him use martial arts moves, and I became more and more sure of it in my heart. , but one reason was that there were many masters in the Ruyang Palace at that time.And looking at Brother Fan's appearance, he should be lurking in the Ruyang Palace, so I dare not go forward to confirm. "

"So that's the case. If Fan Youshi is the real one, then he must be in the Ruyang Palace to inquire about the news, so as not to harm our religion."

"And it is very likely that Fan Youshi's appearance was destroyed by himself."

"Hey, the two Immortals of Xiaoyao have suffered so much for our religion all these years. On the other hand, we have achieved nothing all these years and we have been against Yang Zuoshi everywhere, hey!" Monk Peng sighed again as he said.

"Brothers, everyone is here to promote Mingjiao. Over the years, the Wusan people have been running around to preach, and they have continued to develop congregants and spread the teachings in different forums all over the country. Many uprisings are due to the work of the Wusan people. When we settle down After finishing the teaching affairs on the Bright Peak, Yang will naturally go down the mountain to check again, and if it is really Fan Youshi, let him return to the Bright Peak."

"Yeah, we heard Yang Zuoshi was right."

"Brother Yang, just now you said that in Ruyang Palace, there are many masters, even you dare not act rashly, I don't know what kind of master you are with your martial arts."

Hearing Wei Yixiao's question, Yang Xiao pondered for a while and said: "According to Yang's investigations over the years, the masters in the Ruyang Palace include Xuanming, the apprentice of the Hundred Damaged Taoist, the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, and Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San and others, these people are all first-rate masters in the martial arts world."

"Hundred damage Taoist?" Wei Yixiao exclaimed?The five scattered people couldn't help but looked at each other, looked at Wei Yixiao and then looked at Yang Xiao and asked: "Yang Zuoshi, Wei Bat King, I don't know who these Baishang Taoist and Xuanming are? This Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San And who is the master, why haven't we brothers heard of it."

Wei Yixiao opened his mouth and said: "Taoist Baishang is a martial arts figure who is almost in the same period as Zhang Sanfeng. It is said that Taoist Baishang once fought against Wudang Zhang Sanfeng decades ago. You can imagine the skill of this person. Their martial art is called the insidious martial art of "Xuan Ming Shen Palm".

"Xuan Ming Shen Palm? What kind of martial art is this, and what kind of insidious method is it?" Zhou Dian asked curiously.

Wei Yi smiled with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said slowly: "Xuan Ming God Palm is an incomparably sinister palm technique, the power of the palm is like overwhelming mountains and seas. The whole body is bone-chillingly cold, green five-finger palm prints appear on the recipient's body, the cold poison enters the body, the tentacles are icy cold, as if touching a piece of ice, a spot on the vest looks like burning coals, but the surrounding area is bone-chillingly cold, the cold poison enters the body, seizures The pain was unbearable, and he was close to death."

Because the kung fu practiced by Wei Yixiao is also a yin and cold way, and he is also practicing the kung fu of the evil school, so he has heard of this Taoist who has suffered a lot.

"Then what about Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San? Who are they? I have never heard of such names in the martial arts world!"

"I haven't heard of this either, I don't know if Yang Zuoshi knows?" Wei Yixiao shook his head and said.

"It's normal that you brothers haven't heard of it. After they took refuge in King Ruyang, they became the servants of King Ruyang, and their original names are no longer in use. Ada's original name was Fang Dongbai, and he was titled "Eight-armed Sword". The former elder of the Beggar Clan and the head of the four elders." Yang Xiao looked at the curiosity on everyone's faces, and said slowly, no longer trying to keep a secret.

"What? So it's him!" Monk Peng was taken aback.

"Who is it? Monk Peng." Zhou Dian asked curiously.

"Among the four elders of the Beggars' Clan, there is one named Fang Dongbai. Because of his excellent swordsmanship, he is famous all over the world, and his sword is extremely fast, as if he had seven or eight arms. Therefore, he was granted the title of Eight-Armed Excalibur. Nickname. It is rumored that Dong Bai died of a serious illness three years ago, and everyone felt sorry for him at the time, unaware that he was still alive, and he even took refuge in the Ruyang Palace!"

Monk Peng said with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Then who is this Ah Er? Is he also an elder of the beggar gang?"

"Ah Er is a disciple of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions. He practiced external skills from the outside to the inside, and realized the superior internal strength that the Vajra Sect did not have. Originally, the Vajra Sect's external skills were mainly the internal strength. This Ah Er has practiced from the outside to the inside. Vajra subduing demons supernatural power is far superior to ancestor Huogong Toutuo's internal cultivation."

"Hey, who is this Huo Gong Toutuo?" Zhou Dian has never felt so ignorant like today, Yang Xiao said one after another big news that made him subvert his cognition, and the rest of the Wusanren also looked at each other in blank dismay. .

"The Vajra Sect of the Western Regions is a sect that popped up in the Western Regions in recent decades. This sect has few disciples, but their martial arts are very high. I once met an ordinary disciple of his sect who sucked him clean. Later, his sect A lot of people came out to deal with me, I didn't want to get entangled with them, so I left. These bald donkeys have thick skin and tight flesh, but they are not good at light work. There are several guys who are comparable to the martial arts of the Shaolin Kongzi generation. .I don’t know about the others.” After Wei Yixiao finished speaking, he stopped talking, and everyone turned their eyes to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao coughed lightly and said: "It's been a long time since I said this. At that time, Shaolin was still the abbot of Kucheng Zen Master. At that time, the Shaolin Dharma Hall was composed of the abbot, Dharma Hall and Luohan Hall. Disciple martial arts, check what progress has been made in the past year. After all the disciples have finished performing their skills, Zen Master Kuzhi, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, came up to comment. Suddenly, a leader Toutuo came out of the crowd and said loudly, the words of Zen Master Kuzhi I don't understand nonsense, I don't know what martial arts are, and it's shameful to be the chief of the Bodhidharma hall. This person is Huogong Toutuo. After he finished speaking, he defeated the nine Shaolin disciples in a row, and all he learned was Shaolin martial arts. It turned out that this Tutuo was lighting a fire under the stove, and the monk who supervised the Xiangji Kitchen was extremely irritable. The fireworker Tutuo was beaten until he vomited blood three times in three years. Under the accusation, he secretly went to learn martial arts secretly. He has practiced excellent martial arts, and did not decide to take revenge until that day. Shaolin Kuzhi Zen Master personally fought with Kuzhi to Wubai. Later, he broke Kuzhi's left arm bone and four ribs in front of his chest. , died of serious injuries that night. Before this was over, the fireworker Toutuo sneaked into the temple again, and beat to death the five monks who supervised Xiangji Kitchen and Heping Su, who had a relationship with him.

Under the great earthquake in Shaolin, dozens of masters were sent to search for it, but they searched all over Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but there was no trace of it.The senior monks in the temple even had a dispute over this matter, blaming each other.Zen Master Kuhui, the head of the Arhat Hall, left the Western Regions in a rage and founded the Shaolin School of the Western Regions.

After this battle, the martial arts of Shaolin Temple declined for decades.Since then, the rules of the temple have been established. Anyone who secretly learns martial arts without being taught by a teacher will be executed if he finds out. "Yang Xiao said so much in one breath, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of water.

Everyone listened to him telling such a secret thing about Shaolin, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses, Wei Yixiao looked at Yang Xiao and said: "Brother Yang said just now that Ah Er's martial arts are far better than Huogong Toutuo, didn't he mean that he is better than Shaolin abbot's martial arts?" Is it even taller?"

Yang Xiao nodded: "That's right, that's why I want all the brothers to know, and we must strengthen our resistance when we encounter this person in the future."

"What about Ah San?"

"Ah San is also a disciple of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, and he and Ah Er are brothers. He has practiced the most excellent "Vajra Subduing Demons" in Shaolin Kungfu, and his powerful Vajra Finger is not inferior to the four great monks in Shaolin."

Hearing Yang Xiao say this, everyone looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Yang Xiao said: "Besides these masters, there is another poison that we should be especially careful about. The Western Regions monks offered King Ruyang a poison called "Ten Fragrant Ruanjin Powder". This "Ten Fragrant Ruanjin Powder" is colorless. Tasteless, mixed in dishes, drinks, and food, it is extremely difficult to distinguish. Once the poison's properties take effect, the muscles and bones of the whole body will suddenly become weak. After a few days, although you can move as usual, you can't exert your internal strength at all. There is no antidote If so, it is no different from a useless person."

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the court would gather such a powerful force in secret. It's ridiculous that we are still kept in the dark." Monk Peng said with a look of shock.

"It's not just that. Brothers, don't forget that there is also Cheng Kun, who is highly skilled in martial arts, and has taken refuge in King Ruyang. Moreover, this person has an extremely vicious mind and is very familiar with our Mingjiao. This Cheng Kun is probably more harmful than him. The sum of the others is even bigger." Said in a serious tone.

"That's right!" Yang Xiao nodded, "It can't be said that what the master said is true. Brothers, you must not underestimate this Cheng Kun. This person has a vicious mind and doesn't care about anything but destroying the sect. In the future, brothers must be more careful. .”

Speaking of which, Yang Xiao stood up, looking at Wei Yixiao and Wu Sanren solemnly, "Today, Yang told you all these things to let everyone understand that our current situation is extremely difficult, Mingjiao has internal and external troubles, if we continue to fall apart like this Going down, I'm afraid there will be danger of extermination of the sect. Yang once said that his brother closed the door, said clearly, and then elected a deputy leader in a dignified manner, in order to expand the sect and reorganize the teaching affairs. Save the Holy Flame of the Ming Cult. Now that all the brothers know the whole story, Yang still said the same thing, are you willing to help me rebuild the Ming Cult?"

Everyone stood up excitedly, bowed their hands and saluted: "I wish to be Yang Zuo's envoy!"

"That's right, Hierarch Yang, we big fellows will only listen to your orders from now on, even if the five-element flags and the altar masters, or other dharma kings, no matter who is on the top of the light, all of us All of you will help Yang Zuoshi ascend to the position of leader, and no one will accept it except Yang Zuoshi."

Zhou Dian slapped his thigh and said excitedly, while watching the rest of the crowd, "Wei Bat King, Monk Peng, what do you say!"

"That's right, in the current situation, no one can be the leader except Yang Zuoshi."

"That's right, Yang Zuowai will not be the second choice for this matter."

Looking at the excited crowd, Yang Xiao waved his hands and said, "Brothers, we still need to discuss this matter with the Five Elements Banner and the altar masters, so we can make a decision together."

As soon as Yang Xiao finished speaking, Liang Feng came in, bowed and said: "My lord, under the flag of the Five Elements, Zhuang Zheng, who is in charge of the sharp gold flag, and Wu Jincao, who is the deputy in charge of the flag, have gone to the main altar, asking to see the lord and Bat King. "
