Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 684 Seeing the old friend again
Hundreds of years later, Yingzhou Knights Island officially set foot in the middle of the earth. As soon as it made a move, it swept through Wu County like a violent storm for more than a month. If it wasn't for the Tianxiang Pavilion as the frontier, it blocked the northward movement of the Knights Island in Yangzhou The road, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, is afraid that everything will fall into his hands.

On the west road, the power of Yingzhou is like destroying the ancients, and dozens of big and small forces have fallen into his hands, especially the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism have suffered heavy losses.Bingfeng attacked all the way to Yuhang, only to be barely blocked by Lingyin Temple and Abandoned Sword Villa, which had been exhausted by the elites, and was still in danger.

All the way in the middle of the road, the main force of Xiake Island was dispatched, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Pohanshan Temple, Miexuanmiao Temple, Baoen Temple, Chongyuan Temple, Shangzhen Temple and other Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were all burned.It crushed the major powers in Gusu like thunder, crossed Yixing, crossed Lishui, and threatened Danyang County (now Wuhu). Guangji Temple, the first of the four temples in Huidi, was the first to bear the brunt of it.

This action immediately caused an uproar in the court and the martial arts. Xuanguan Daojun remonstrated with the monarch in the court and made a generous statement, which finally attracted Ji Xi's attention. The five thousand Zhendong army went down from Jinling to the south, hoarded Zhenjiang, and pointed directly at Chongming. .

Unexpectedly, there are really capable people in the battle formation on Xiake Island, and with a feint shot by land, ten vehicles and boats, dozens of warships were dispatched by water, supplemented by giant eagle crossbowmen in the air, and they burned down the water village of Twelve Routes, and the Zhendong Army was defeated. , had to hide in Zhenjiang and dare not move rashly.

In the Great Hall of Shaolin, Zen Master Mingxing looked at the letter in his hand, sighed heavily after a while, and said in a low voice: "The cause of the past, the result of today! Xia Kedao treats other forces with equal emphasis on suppression and appeasement. , but they didn’t agree with each other, and started killing. Brothers, Guangji Temple asks for help, what should we do?”

The head wise Zen master of the Bodhi Court slowly opened his wisdom eyes, and said with a blank face: "What else can I do? Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, and the Knight Island is making a comeback this time. If we don't preemptively strike, should we wait for him to be full-fledged? Is it just a matter of taking things step by step and nibbling away gradually?"

Yunshuiliao's first Ming and Qing Zen master nodded and said with emotion: "Xuanguan Daoist persuaded the monarch to take action, although he ended up in a disastrous defeat. After all, it is a matter of Jianghu. After all, there is a big difference between military battles and Jianghu disputes. Xuanmen How can the Buddhist sect fall into disrepute after all the effort has been made?"

The two made a noise, Abbot Mingxing looked around at the group of monks in the hall, seeing them nodding, he sighed immediately: "Forget it! Back then Shaolin was also one of the main force to expel the Duanmu clan, this time it absolutely cannot fall behind the Taoist sect. Everyone, follow me to Nirvana Hall!"

All the monks stood up together and were about to move forward, when suddenly a middle-aged monk rushed into the hall, holding a letter in his hand, and shouted: "Master Abbot, it's not good!"

"Why panic?" Zen Master Mingxing frowned, and stopped, "The monks are all empty of five aggregates, so panicked, what are they like?"

The monk took a few breaths, hurriedly put his palms together in salute, and reported: "The news just came that Xiao Qianli, the head teacher of Chunyang Palace, went to Lingyin Temple with a single sword..."

All the old monks couldn't help being surprised. The head of the Longshuyuan saw the Zen master's body swaying, and said with a sad smile: "It really is a leak in the house and it rains all night. Lingyin Temple and Abandoned Sword Villa joined hands to barely block the line of Yingzhou West Road. The soldiers were lost, and even the abbot Xingbei was slightly injured, once Xiao Qianli came, who could stop him?"

Abbot Mingxing calmed down a lot after all, his face sank like water, he stretched out his hand to stop the discussion of the monks, looked at it, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked carefully from top to bottom, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. ! Who is Xiao Qianli? He is definitely not such an unwise person!"

All the monks were at a loss. The head Zen Master Mingfa of Luohan Hall clasped his palms to plead guilty. He wanted to write a letter. He concentrated for a while, nodded and said: "The letter only said that Xiao Qianli was going to Lingyin Temple, but did not specify the purpose of his visit. Considering him as a person Being a sect, although you are an enemy of Buddhism, you are not a person who will cause trouble. I think there must be another meaning!"

Abbot Mingxing nodded, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Mingfa's words are very true. In the current situation, it is reasonable for us to help Guangji Temple first!"

After all, Abbot Mingxing's insight was superior to all the monks, Xiao Qianli came to Hangzhou alone, and the major forces in the area knew of this person's arrival immediately, and were immediately surprised and delighted.Everyone in Lingyin Temple was worried, the abbot of Xingbei dragged his wounded body to the inn, entered the room and talked with Xiao Qianli for two hours, and then left in a meandering way.

Hangzhou Buddhism is headed by Lingyin Temple.Since Zen Master Xingbei has met Xiao Qianli, the rest naturally don't need to disturb him anymore.The rest of the forces are headed by the Abandoned Sword Villa. After Zen Master Xingbei left, Xia Zhengbing, the Patriarch of the Abandoned Sword Villa, came to visit immediately.After the two chatted for a while, Xiao Qianli left the inn and lived in the Abandoned Sword Villa on the outskirts.

Speaking of Abandoned Sword Villa, there is still a relationship with Chunyang Palace.Li Chengyuan, the third disciple of Chunyang Palace, grew up in the Abandoned Sword Villa before he joined the army. He and the second young master of the Xia family, Xia Qinghe, are brothers and sisters, and they are very close.

Song Shujian was caught in a trick, and Li Chengyuan was seriously injured after he died, and was accidentally rescued by the Kongtong faction.Xia Qinghe only thought that Li Chengyuan was dead, and he was so sad that he rushed all the way to the northwest wilderness. This kind of affection is really better than that of a brother.

After that, Li Chengyuan soared into the sky, and when he went down the mountain to practice, he also returned to the Abandoned Sword Villa to have a drink with Xia Qinghe.Although the two are thousands of miles apart, they still exchange letters from time to time, and they are as close as ever.

This is the first time for Xiao Qianli to come to the Abandoned Sword Villa, and he sees the waves of the West Lake, boats on the lake, lonely sails everywhere, and the mountains in the distance are empty.When I first saw it, I couldn't help being fascinated, and it seemed like a fairyland outside the world.

The head of the family, Xia Zhengbing, was over sixty years old, with gray hair and a dignified aura.As his personal companion, seeing Xiao Qianli praising the beauty of the West Lake, he immediately smiled and said, "Headmaster Xiao said that, if this great lake and mountain were to be affected by the flames of war, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Wen Xianyin knew the elegant meaning, Xiao Qianli smiled and said: "That's not the case, what is my seat doing here?"

He spoke so clearly, Xia Zhengbing was naturally overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The head teacher has a righteous mind, Xia admires it, please!"

The two came to the private room, the banquet had already been prepared in the hall, and several maids served the wine back and forth like butterflies wearing flowers, and the wine went through three rounds.Xiao Qianli said with a smile: "I often hear the young apprentice Cheng Yuan say that the old hero Xia has four sons, and everyone is the first-rate player in the Jianghu. How come we haven't seen any of them?"

Xia Zhengbing laughed, shook his head and said: "The head teacher is embarrassing Xia, the three names of the seven stars and eight apprentices under the Pure Yang seat are all rare young heroes, how can my few incompetent dogs compare The Supreme Commander, just in case?"

He sat up straight and clapped his palms together three times. Four people strode in from outside the hall.

The second one is Xia Qinghe who had met once, he recognized Xiao Qianli at a glance, his eyes immediately beamed with joy, he saluted with a long body, and said in a loud voice: "I have met Headmaster Xiao!" The other three also bowed down one by one. .

"No!" Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, flicked his robe sleeves, and lifted the four of them together with a gentle force, knowing it in his heart, and said with a smile, "What a young master Xia, I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has martial arts skills!" So refined!"

Xia Qinghe blushed immediately, and said in a low voice, "The teacher is absurd!"

The Patriarch laughed loudly and said: "It's no wonder that Qinghe, since Cheng Yuan fought with him, he has worked hard in the past few years. The last time Cheng Yuan went back to the villa for a while, he fought with him for a while. With the sword in hand, but it was just a match. So he became like a martial arts lunatic, he didn't even eat food every day except for practicing sword, and the battle with Yingzhou a few days ago was a lot of effort."

However, Xiao Qianli knew that Xia Qinghe and Li Chengyuan were indistinguishable in terms of talent alone, but the "Zuo Wang Jing" was extremely miraculous, far superior to the skills of Qijian Villa, and it also had the additional attribute of Tai Chi Square. Therefore, Li Chengyuan came first.Although they are both in the second level of congenital, if Li Chengyuan loses his temper, Xia Qinghe is not his opponent.

He smiled slightly and said: "Your sons are all rare martial arts geniuses, even Xiao is envious. In the past, Cheng Yuan was thanks to the Xia family's kindness, and I created a sword technique in my spare time. , I am very happy to meet some talented people today, so I might as well make it a meeting gift!"

Xiao Qianli reached into his bosom, and took out a handwritten "Seventeen Swords of Yuxu". Combined with the "Zuo Wang Jing", there are eight internal routes, nine external routes, and seventeen routes, which are extremely profound and mysterious in length and speed.

Although Xiao Qianli's words are humble, but his reputation as a great master of swordsmanship has already shaken the world. How can it be an ordinary way for a "scratch" swordsmanship to be named "Yuxu"?The four couldn't help being overjoyed, and even the Patriarch of the Xia family couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.

Xia Qinghe had just received the sword manual, only to hear the commotion outside the hall, someone rushed in and bowed to report: "Patriarch, the Knight Island is here!"
