The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 8 Meeting Zhang Tianshi for the first time

Feng Jiuxiao lightly shook the sleeves of his robe, and stepped out of the Qianyuan gang.

As soon as Li Lanzhou's head was severed, the thunder fire aroused by the inner genitals in his body suddenly became exhausted and instantly turned into ordinary fire. The corpse began to burn, and thick smoke filled the air with the pungent smell of burning.The nanmu tables and chairs next to the corpse were quickly roasted.

It was night, and the chief rudder of the Qianyuan Gang, the largest gang in Yingtan, was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Smoke billows, and fire blazes into the sky.

Afterwards, according to the accountant Lao Zhaitou, judging from the weapons left at the scene, the golden fingers, jade pendants and other accessories scattered beside the corpses, and various clues, among the [-] corpses at the scene, Gangzhu Li and He Tutou were impressively listed. And all the corpses died from external trauma, and no one died from the fire.There was a fierce fight at the scene, and all the corpses were beyond recognition, some still had a human form, while some had turned into coke, and some were almost ashes.But Lao Zhai has always been conceited about his inspection methods, and he can see a lot of clues.Among them, thirteen corpses showed signs of broken sternum or ribs. According to years of experience, it was judged that it was caused by palm force.However, Gang Leader Li, He Butou and the other four died under the same sharp weapon. Judging from the mutilated wounds that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, the murderer was also the same person who killed the four people with some kind of knife-like weapon.The knife is short and thin.Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer had already fled the scene, and the murder weapon should have been taken away.

The case of burning the Qianyuan gang has become one of the most sensational events in martial arts recently.It was even more sensational than the assassination of Lord Qi Xiaohou.After all, Lord Qi Xiaohou just disappeared, but the head of the Qianyuan Gang disappeared overnight, and the head of the gang was killed in his own base camp.What's even more bizarre is that Li Lanzhou actually killed 16 of his subordinates before he died!And why the three He Butou also died in the Qianyuan gang, which made the whole thing more complicated and confusing.Some people say that the murderer must be Mi Xueyou, because the Qianyuan gang has issued a hunting order, notifying the martial arts that Mi Xueyou killed his fellow gang and defected from the gang.However, according to gossip, the disciples of the Qianyuan gang who sent the order at that time witnessed Mi Xueyou running away first, and the head of the Li gang issued the order to kill.Some people say that Mi Xueyou returned to the case halfway.But the paradox is that since he has the super strength to annihilate [-] people, why did he run away in the first place?

Some people also said that they had seen a young man who had been in and out of the Qianyuan Gang, but this young man was gentle and seemingly powerless. It is unbelievable to say that he is the murderer.But Six Doors emphasizes that "everything is possible", anyone is "suspected", and all possibilities will not be let go.The teenager is naturally also included in the list of suspects.It's just that evidence is needed in everything, especially this kind of fight in the rivers and lakes, and it must be treated with caution, otherwise the investigators themselves will have endless troubles.When some policemen proposed to arrest the teenagers, the prefect just oh, and then asked: "Is there any evidence?" The policeman replied: "Not now, just look for it." The prefect He squinted his eyes: "Then look for it first. When will the case be closed?" The policeman remained silent, thinking carefully.The prefect said: "I heard that Mi Xueyou and Li Lanzhou were at odds, and he was there before the fire broke out. It seems that there is both a motive for the murder and a time for committing the crime. The suspicion is not small." , Lord Prefect is eager to close the case.A few words and a few words solved the big problem. He really deserves to be an official who can "make the final decision" at a critical moment.The head catcher had no choice but to praise against his will: "Your Excellency is wise!" He couldn't help sighing secretly.

One will be incompetent, exhausting the three armies.

Fortunately, the prefect is not very capable of solving crimes, but his ability to be an official is not small. From a scholar, he has become the governor of a county, and of course he can be called the head of a county!You are very knowledgeable.When the policeman thought of this, he couldn't help showing a little admiration for the prefect.

The prefect had someone post a notice on the city wall, with a portrait of Mi Xueyou drawn on it, to the effect that there was a gangster named Mi Xueyou, who later joined the Qianyuan gang, and finally defected from the Qianyuan gang, killing ten Six people escaped with their lives, and those who know the truth will be rewarded with a certain amount of silver, and those who are captured will be even more rewarded.

In fact, Mi Xueyou didn't dare to go far that night.When Feng Jiuxiao came out, he immediately greeted her.The two talked while walking.Feng Jiuxiao persuaded Mi Xueyou to either travel north with him, and finally go to the capital to make plans, or go to Hengyang Qi Mansion to explain the situation to the big steward, and ask the big steward to cancel the killing order in the name of the young master.As long as the young master doesn't show up for a day, Feng Jiuxiao dares to bet that the housekeeper will not dare to publicly betray the Tiandaomen for a day!Once openly betrayed, at least half of the people will rebel against his chief steward!It is estimated that he has to guard against being assassinated by others every day!You have to sleep with your eyes open!So now, every time he does something, he has to make people look like the little lord is the only one who follows the lead, and everything is in the interests of the little lord.Little Hou Ye's status in the world is not just paper, and all of Xiao Hou Ye's friends have not died!Many eyes are staring at the movement here!

Mi Xueyou weighed the pros and cons, and decided to gamble in Qi Mansion!Life can have a few back stroke?If you don't succeed, you will succeed.After talking about some contact information, the two finally said goodbye.

The third day after the Qianyuan fire.

The sky is high and light, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

Feng Jiuxiao strolled along the post road, her robe sleeves fluttering, very chic.He once promised Taoist Baihe to visit Tianshi's mansion, and now the three-day period has come, and he is ready to keep the appointment on time.

Yingtan City is more than 36 miles away from Shangqing Town, not far or near.There are many tourists along the way, and it can be concluded that most of them are from the clothes and accents.field.Shangqing Town is the birthplace of the ancestral home of Taoism, and there is Guixuan Siyuezhentian Guigu Cave, one of the 72 caves nearby, and two of the [-] blessed places, one of which is Longhu Mountain here, and the other One is Shangrao Lingshan.A blessed place in the cave, a fairy mountain.Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be many tourists and pilgrims.

Walking westward for several miles through the ancient town of Shangqing, you will come to the Tianshi Mansion, which has a prominent position in Taoism.The gate of the mansion faces south from the north, and stands beside the river, with a magnificent momentum.Above the middle gate hung a plaque with five gold characters: Sihan Tianshi Mansion!On the two pillars in front of the gate, there are couplets with gold characters on the black background.There were two Taoist boys standing outside the door, about the same age as Feng Jiuxiao, both of them had delicate features, dressed in soap-colored Taoist robes, holding whisks, walking back and forth in front of the door from time to time.Occasionally, a Taoist who wandered here came forward to report his name or hand over his degree, and the Taoist boy interrogated him and basically let him enter the gate of the mansion.Walking forward slowly, the Taoist boy on the left saw that his brother was dressed like a Taoist, so he said: "This is the important place of the Tianshi Mansion, please go to other places to play, the temples of Longhu Mountain. You can come in and out as you like." Feng Jiuxiao said: "I'm here to find someone. Please let Xiantong and Daoist Baihe of your mansion inform you that the junior surnamed Feng is here to visit. Daoist Baihe invited me three days ago." To reduce unnecessary cross-examination and long-windedness, the last sentence obviously accentuated the tone.The two Daotong glanced at each other, quite strange, wondering how this young man knew Martial Uncle Bai He, but since the other party had pointed out that Uncle Bai He had invited him, they couldn't lose their courtesy.The Taoist boy on the left said: "Okay, then you are equal, I will report to Master Baihe immediately."

Before he came back, Feng Jiuxiao chatted with the Taoist boy on the right for a while.Knowing that the Taoist names of the two are Yunlong and Fenghu, the person who went to report is Fenghu, and I am Yunlong. "The same sound corresponds, and the same gas seeks each other. When the water is wet, the fire is dry. The cloud follows the dragon, and the wind follows the tiger. The sage works and everything fades."Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Master must have taught you two sets of Liangyi swordsmanship." Yunlong couldn't help asking in surprise: "How do you know?" Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Hehe, I guessed it." Actually The two can see their master's thoughts from the names.Furthermore, the two of them are similar in age, so they are more suitable for practicing swordsmanship similar to joint practice.But there are not many swordsmanship suitable for two people to practice in this world, only Liangyi swordsmanship is the most suitable for people of the same sex, so one guess is right.Yunlong couldn't help looking at the young man in front of him with admiration, and said: "Young master, does he also understand Liangyi swordsmanship?" Feng Jiuxiao said: "I saw a few words in a friend's study, but I dare not understand it." Yunlong said: "Young master I'm too modest, I don't know what your master thinks, Yunlong is here to sincerely ask for advice." After saying that, he folded his fists with both hands and bent down to offer a big gift.What he said was to ask for advice, not to learn from each other. He really wanted Feng Jiuxiao to share his views.Feng Jiuxiao said: "Easy to have Tai Chi, it is to produce two ceremonies. The so-called Dao produces one, one life two, and this two refers to yin and yang. I guess the original intention of your master is that you two are about the same age, and your personality is just opposite. Practice these two rites." Swordsmanship allows the two of you to make up for each other's lack of personality. Through the interdependence and mutual cooperation in swordsmanship to balance the profit and loss, the two of you who are too irritable can become more peaceful, and those who are too negative and pessimistic can become more peaceful. Optimistic and positive. Right?" Yunlong said: "Yes!" Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Liangyi swordsmanship is the most important combination. Your master must have talked about this a lot, so I won't say more. Do you know that Liangyi produces four images? "Yunlong said: "Of course I know. Taiji produces Liangyi, and Liangyi produces four phenomena. The master said that when two people work together to a perfect fit, they can exert the power of four people." Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then you say it is one One person or four people?" Yunlong said: "Of course four people are more powerful." Feng Jiuxiao said: "Actually, I think one person is more powerful. If a general wants to win a war, he must command thousands of troops like this." Use your arms and fingers, otherwise everyone will go their own way, and it will be a mess, no matter how many people there are. Two people become four people. On the surface, the power of attack is increasing, but the vulnerability exposed must also increase. The highest state of Liangyi swordsmanship should be Two people are like one person, the power is doubled and the weakness is halved. Four images belong to Liangyi, and Liangyi belongs to Taiji." Yunlong pondered for a while, as if his master had said similar words before, but he seemed to have said that before the two of them were 30 years old. It is very good to be able to reach the realm of two appearances and four images.It is estimated that one must wait until the age of 40 to return to basics and achieve the state of Liangyi and Tai Chi.It seems that he will need to practice more with Fenghu in the future.

The two chatted for a while, before Feng Hu came out of the mansion, followed by a middle-aged Taoist who was Bai He.

Bai He stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Young Xia is indeed a believer."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The Taoist priest is too famous."

The white crane led the way, and the two walked towards the mansion one after the other.Bai He briefly introduced the buildings of Tianshi Mansion, mainly including Xuantan Hall, Zhenwu Hall, Tiju Office, Fazhu Bureau, Zanjiao Hall, Wanfa Zongtan, lobby, family temple, etc., covering a very large area.The two walked and chatted.Feng Jiuxiao listened to Master Baihe's narration of the legends of the Tianshi Mansion through the ages. Looking around, she felt that the Tianshi Mansion was large in scale, majestic and magnificent, and the buildings were quite gorgeous. Although the mansion of the young master is not small, it cannot be compared with it .In the courtyard, there is a forest of camphor trees, with towering ancient trees and thick shade.Taoist priests in twos and threes passed through from time to time.

The real Baihe said: "Pindao once mentioned Feng Shaoxia to Zhang Tianshi. The martial arts of Shaoxia originated from Wudang. Although they don't practice Huang Lao's skills, they belong to the same line of Taoism. It is also predestined. Zhang Tianshi said that if you come here, he will meet you. your side."

Feng Jiuxiao was indeed a little surprised, and said humbly: "How can the boy, He De, be able to alarm the celestial master?"

Master Baihe smiled and said: "Hehe, your martial arts technique is quite strange. From the inside, it is the authentic inner strength of Wudang Xuanmen, but the masters of the same realm can't exert the power like yours, so it is very strange, even more strange. It was you who broke through three realms in a row at that time, little friend, don’t hide it from me, hehe, Tianshi and I are both martial idiots, we just have a strong interest in this, and there is absolutely no malice, so don’t worry about it. Tianshi Although I am pedantic about heaven and man, I still can't figure out why this is so. Then follow me."

The two of them traveled quickly, and they arrived at the Zhenwu Hall in an instant.The gate of the hall is high and wide, and there are three golden characters "Zhenwu Hall" written on it.

Entering the main hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a statue of Emperor Zhenwu, holding a huge mahogany sword, looking into the distance, majestic.

Emperor Zhenwu, also known as Xuantian God and Yousheng Zhenjun Xuantian God, is a well-known Yujing god among Taoist gods.In front of the seat of the idol sits a Taoist in his fifties wearing a hibiscus crown and a purple Taoist robe. The Taoist has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, five long beards, and is resting with his eyes closed.As soon as the two entered the hall, the Taoist opened his eyes, slowly got up from the futon, smiled lightly, and greeted the two with his sleeves fluttering like a fairy.Feng Jiuxiao hastily stepped forward to salute, and said: "You have disturbed the celestial master." Zhang celestial master smiled, and said, "Please tell me about the young man's bookstore." The three came to the bookstore to divide the guests and hosts.Zhang Tianshi said: "Although my Tianshi Mansion is good at cultivating the truth and alchemy, I am far less advanced in martial arts than the Wudang schools, but I have been obsessed with martial arts since I was a child." Pointing to the bookshelves around the house, he continued: "I dare not say I know the world well Martial arts, but since the 20-year-old Zhang Tianshi started his experience in the world, he has come into contact with strange people and strange things in the past 60 years. Yes, except that I have never heard of someone who forcibly improves his skill in fighting with others. The young hero seems to be stimulated by external forces, and the true energy in his body is induced to break through the barrier forcibly, thus greatly improving his skill. The four characters "nian" couldn't help being shocked, and said: "Dare to ask Tianshi, is this year Guigeng?" Zhang Tianshi smiled slightly: "Eighty." Heavenly Master, please forgive me for being rude. Heavenly Master is really a god and man, exactly as Heavenly Master expected, almost inseparable."

Zhang Tianshi stroked his long beard and said with a chuckle: "I guessed the external appearance correctly, but I still can't figure out the internal mechanism, which is far from my ancestor's cave. Bai He, did you lead Feng Shaoxia around the mansion just now? I'll look around for a while, and then go to the private courtyard to taste the secret Taoist wine of my Tianshi mansion, and I'll have a drink with my little friend at noon." Ever since Zhang Tianshi saw Feng Jiuxiao, he was very kind, and he felt a sense of deja vu. The long period of 60 years is like a drop in the ocean in the long river of history, but for a person, the change of dynasties in the world and the vicissitudes of the rivers and lakes in the past 60 years are enough for a person to see through the world of mortals and read the vicissitudes of life.With Zhang Tianshi's current Wugou Glazed Realm, which is close to the level of supernatural powers of land gods, he should no longer be haunted by the world.It's a pity that there is also a saying in Buddhism: If my Buddha Tathagata is not sentient, why should I save life?Daozu also said to follow the trend.Since we met today, it is fate. Since there is fate, why don't we have fun?

Doing nothing, but it is not doing nothing, but Taoism follows the trend naturally.Doing nothing is also doing.

Although Zhang Tianshi has the supreme authority to order the various sects of Taoism in the world, he follows his heart in everything, so his style of acting is very approachable.However, there are not many people who can arouse the interest of Tianshi, but this young man actually brought back many memories of his youth.

Feng Jiuxiao obeyed the instructions of the celestial master, and visited several other houses with Bai He, and learned a lot about the history of the celestial master's mansion and the deeds of the various generations of celestial masters.

At noon, the Taoist secret brew really had a unique taste, and Feng Jiuxiao was full of praise for the unique Tai Chi Banquet in Tianshi Mansion. Masters are truly extraordinary.Bai He said: "They are all home-cooked dishes. Although they are difficult to enter the elegant hall, they are in line with the avenue of being pure-hearted, ascetic, obedient, and doing nothing." Feng Jiuxiao said: "Exactly, this banquet is like a poem. In short, these dishes are also natural, but they were discovered by accident. The method of cooking and the method of proportioning. This is a modest word. On the other hand, if you can’t read thousands of volumes, how can you write with spirit? There are more than billions of people in the world People, only those who have broken thousands of volumes can get the articles that are made that day." Baihe praised: "Little friend is really insightful. Although our Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain are good at spells and incantations, we still have to go to fight demons and eliminate demons." You need to be strong and strong. Just like Maoshan School, it also attaches great importance to the practice of martial arts. Only a strong body can gather yang energy! You may only see the level of his martial arts, but I am a practitioner of Longhushan In people's eyes, a person's external appearance is not only the level of martial arts, but also the intensity of righteousness and evil in the body. Today, if you have a fate, I might as well talk to you more."

"Thank you, Daoist. I'm about to ask for advice on righteousness and evil. Is there evil in good people?"

"Of course. Everyone has good and evil, and so does you. There is a demon deep in everyone's heart, such as the evil dragon lurking in the abyss, we call it the demon of the heart."

Feng Jiuxiao's heart skipped a beat, "Demon?"

"Don't be nervous, everyone is like this, and so am I. As long as we are dedicated to goodness, restrain demons, practice Taoism diligently, help the poor, save the world and help the people, we can maintain a righteous spirit, and evil spirits will not be able to corrode. Be firm in the Dao heart, and finally achieve the Dao.”

"Been taught a lesson."

Zhang Tianshi remained silent, and said at this time: "My Taoist inaction is actually great achievement. Buddhism emphasizes that all things are empty. This is actually a disguised escape and a method of self-hypnosis. Royal emperors are most happy for the people to believe in Buddhism. People who believe in Buddhism usually believe in reincarnation of cause and effect. When they encounter setbacks, they will accept it and accept it. Do justice for the sky! However, this is also a double-edged sword. The emperor is enlightened and the world is in great order, and the emperor is stupid and the world is in chaos. Great rule is the wise king with the right way, and great chaos is the incompetent and incompetent king. Killing the Hunjun is also doing justice for the heavens, so all dynasties have to establish a good relationship with me, Longhushan, just to fight for a righteous name! What is a true dragon emperor, it is in line with the orthodoxy!"

A few people were chatting, and a Taoist outside the door came in to report, "To Heavenly Master, Taoist Master Wuchen of Kongtong Mountain is asking to see you."

Zhang Tianshi said: "Let him go to the study in the West Wing to wait for a while, I will go there in a while."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Since the Taoist priest is busy with important matters, it is inconvenient for the boy to bother you. I will leave after dinner, and I happen to be on my way to the capital."

Tianshi said: "I have already seen that the young hero has a heavy responsibility, so I won't delay your trip, and I will come often in the future. The white crane will give the young hero the "True Martial Sword Art" in a while, and the young hero will be indispensable in the future. The feat of this book, rather than cherishing it with a broom, it is better to use the hands of young heroes to play its due role. I will take a step ahead." After saying that, the big sleeves fluttered like the wind and gradually drifted away.
