Longevity begins with a proud smile

Songshan Mountain and Wudang Mountain are located in the west of Henan and the other in the north of Hubei. Starting from the northwest, it was originally on the way.

But now that the world is in chaos, the Mongol soldiers are searching closely, and it is difficult for the brigade to move. In order to avoid trouble, the Emei faction only scored points and marched.

Miejue Shitai took Zhou Zhiruo and Bei Jinyi's two disciples, Zhuo Lingfeng followed them, and they galloped on Ganliang Avenue for several hours at a stretch.

Suddenly hearing the noise ahead, several people galloped through a bend in the road, and saw a fork in the road, surrounded by a large group of people.

A Mongolian officer rode on a horse and led sixty or seventy soldiers. The Yuan soldiers each held a big sword in their hands, shouting and drinking, very majestic.

A large group of common people with their families and mouths, all with yellow and thin faces, knelt down and kowtowed as they passed in front of the officer's horse.

A Han interpreter asked, "What's your last name?"

When the man answered, a Yuan soldier next to him kicked his ass, or slapped him across the face, and the commoner hurried past.

When asked about a commoner who replied that his surname was Zhang, the Yuan soldiers immediately grabbed him and ordered him to stand aside.

Some men are very stubborn and don't want to kowtow, the Han interpreter scolded: "Thieves and barbarians, don't understand the rules, why don't you kowtow quickly when you see an adult?"

There was another commoner with a newly bought kitchen knife in a basket, and the interpreter shouted, "Boldly harassing the people! You want to rebel!" Yuan Bing also grabbed him aside.

Juejue and others originally wanted to rush to Wudang Mountain as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble, but seeing the Mongols oppressing the Han people like this, it was really sad and unbearable.

Rao Zhuo Lingfeng knew that the Han people were not living like human beings under the rule of the Mongol Yuan. Seeing this scene, he was very angry and shouted: "You should be killed!"

As he spoke, he was about to gallop out of the horse, Jue Jue said: "No", stretched out his left hand, and placed it on Zhuo Lingfeng's horse's back.

The horse was hit by Juejue so much that it couldn't move an inch.Zhuo Lingfeng looked back, but seeing Miejue Shitai calmly and coldly, he asked, "What's your intention, Shitai?"

"What do you want?"

Miejue Shitai took a look at him and raised his eyebrows: "Did you kill them?"

Zhuo Lingfeng frowned slightly: "Shouldn't he be killed?"

Juejue said coldly: "Of course the Mongols should be killed!"

"But what about after killing?

We can just leave, but not only are these people hard to survive, even everyone in their village will be retaliated by the Mongolian soldiers. What's more, they will kill every single man in the radius of ten miles. Thought? "

Zhuo Lingfeng was taken aback immediately, and murmured, "Is that so?"

Seeing Zhuo Lingfeng's bewildered face, Zhou Zhiruo whispered, "Young master Zhuo has been practicing martial arts in the mountains for so many years, so he doesn't know much about the viciousness of Mongolian Tartars.

Today, the world is in chaos, and these Mongolian soldiers saw wealthy people burning, killing and looting, causing the countryside to be barren and corpses everywhere.

Even in those prosperous towns in the past, every house was closed, and the Mongols would enter the house to search and rebel, but in fact they robbed. The people seldom complained, and they killed them in the name of rioters.

Once any team is killed, they don't care who the murderer is, they will kill all the middle-aged men within a radius of ten miles, and the women will be snatched away.

This is why although the Mongols were few, they were able to rule the Central Plains for a hundred years, relying on this kind of bloody method, which made people fear from the heart and did not dare to resist. "

He paused for a while, glanced at Master, and said again: "It is precisely because of this kind of scruple that although Master Zhang said that he dedicated his life to killing Tartars, when Hanshui rescued me and Chang Yuchun from the Demon Sect , Never killed the Mongol Tartars!
Later, I told the master about this matter, and after listening to her interpretation, I understood the deep meaning of Master Zhang.

He was afraid that killing people would bring disaster to the people near the Hanshui River, so he used the words of "an old man dedicated to killing Tartars all his life" to reveal his identity, so that they would know that there is a grievance and a debtor. The Yuan soldiers were released. "

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly realized that in his previous life, many people criticized Zhang Sanfeng in this part of the story, saying that he was merciful and let Yuan soldiers go, but he still said that the old man dedicated his life to killing Tartars, which is simply a great irony.

But after hearing what Zhou Zhiruo said, he understood.

It's not because Zhang Sanfeng didn't kill him, but because the people around him couldn't kill him.

Miejue Shitai said kindly: "Young man Zhuo, you are a hot-blooded man, what you thought just now is not surprising!"

As he said that, the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "But this kind of thinking is also the same as those people in the Demon Cult.

It is also because of this that although they are fighting against the Yuan Dynasty with all their strength, we, the martial arts Zhengdao, do not agree with their actions and still want to fight against them.

This is not because we don't understand righteousness, but that they are no different from Tartars.

In today's situation, if people from the Devil's Cult encounter it, they will immediately kill these Yuan soldiers, just to make it easier for a while.

As for the consequences for this group of people, they never think about it, and they call it happy enmity.

What's more, they just want to provoke Yuan soldiers to retaliate, forcing the people to join their team and rebel together.

But not all ordinary people are fools. Such despicable coercion methods are as unpopular as the bloody and brutal coercion methods of Mongolia.

Therefore, Zhou Ziwang and others under the command of the Demon Sect raised up many times in the Jianghuai area, but they were quickly suppressed by the Yuan soldiers, because the common people could not see the difference from them from the Yuan court. "

Zhuo Lingfeng thought so too, Mingjiao has been rebelling since the Song Dynasty, the slogan is very attractive, but it has not been successful, and instead it has become a devil.

It is these people who use all means to achieve their goals, and the lives of ordinary people are worthless to them.

Now Yang Xiao, Fan Yao and other high-level officials act like this.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang was born, although he belonged to Mingjiao and acted ruthlessly, he was a real low-level people and knew what the people wanted.

Because his rebel army made the common people see the difference, and felt that he treated them better than Yuan Ting, so they naturally supported him.

You don't need to force me, and I am willing to rebel and seek a way out.

Zhuo Lingfeng was thinking to himself when he suddenly heard Bei Jinyi ask: "Master, could these people be deliberately arranged by that witch to delay us?"

Juejue took a closer look at the situation ahead, and said quietly: "These Tartars abused the people, and it may not be because of us.

Far away, you may not have heard, they are asking people's surnames, this is their daily behavior. "

Zhuo Lingfeng looked puzzled and said: "Master, do you have any explanation for the surname?"

Juejue sighed and said: "The Yuan Dynasty won the world and divided the people in the world into four classes. The Mongols are the first class, the Semu people from the Western Regions are the second class, and our Han people and those from the south of the Yangtze River are the third and fourth classes, the lowest.

Therefore, there are many rebels among the people, and some Mongolian ministers intend to kill all Han people like us, but they can't kill them.

Then Bayan, the grand master of the dynasty, once issued a torture order to kill all Han people with the surnames Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao in the world.

Because the four surnames of Zhang, Wang, Liu, and Li are the most common among the Han people, and the surname Zhao belongs to the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

Later, many of the people of the five surnames were demoted to be officials. Some Mongolian ministers persuaded the emperor to remove this extremely brutal massacre order, but countless people of the five surnames lost their lives because of it. up.

But now that the world is full of wars, these Mongols have started to torture people and kill lives again in order to maintain their rule! "

After all, Zhuo Lingfeng lacked historical knowledge. He knew that the Yuan people were divided into four classes, but he didn't know about the massacre order of the five surnames. At this moment, he bared his teeth and said, "Master, the Mongols use the strategy of entanglement to protect rule, are we really bound by his hands and feet, unable to resist?"

Miejue Shitai said coldly: "Water can carry a boat and capsize it.

The Tartars used this method to dominate our country for a hundred years, which aroused the anger of heaven and earth and people's resentment.However, there are many Han people. If there are heroes and heroines who do great things and win the hearts of the people, the people will eat pots of milk to welcome the king's teacher, and the expulsion of the Tartars is just around the corner.

But it would be useless if only relying on quack methods.

For example, if we kill this Mongolian official and save these people, there will be at least ten times as many people buried with him. Do you think the people hate us, or do they hate the Mongols more? "

He sighed as he said this, and said with great embarrassment: "If the affairs of the world were only based on fighting and killing, the previous dynasty was full of heroes with strong martial arts, and the country would not be wiped out by the Mongols."

Zhuo Lingfeng instantly thought of his assassination of Kublai Khan in the Kunlun world, if it really succeeded.

Wouldn't the Yuan Dynasty retaliate?

They don't know how many people they have to kill to vent their anger.

Whether it will really destroy the Central Plains and treat it as a racetrack, Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but shudder, he didn't dare to think deeply.

Just listen to Juejue said: "We will go there first today, after the six major factions are rescued, we are discussing the matter of expelling the Tartars!"

As he spoke, he rode out on his horse, Zhou and Bei followed closely.

Zhuo Lingfeng also galloped out.

When the Mongolian soldiers saw the four horsemen rushing forward, they shouted to stop them, and some even shot bows and arrows.

The four of them were all highly skilled in martial arts, they swung their horsewhips to fend off the rain of arrows, and rushed over.

When Zhuo Lingfeng rushed past the Mongolian interpreter, he slapped the horsewhip hard on his face. After all, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

The four of them ran only a few tens of feet away, when they suddenly heard screams and cries behind them.

Several people turned their heads, but saw more than a dozen civilians who were pulled aside by Yuan soldiers, all of them were decapitated and their bodies were lying on the ground.

Zhuo Ling was so arrogant that he almost fell off his horse. As soon as the horse turned its head, it was about to charge up and kill the group of people.

Hearing Juejue sternly shouted: "Your whip is not enough, do you really want to let everyone here die?"

Zhuo Lingfeng's face turned red and then pale, and with a hey, he turned his horse's head again and galloped away, secretly making a heavy oath: "If I don't drive the Tartars back to Mobei in this life, I, Zhuo Lingfeng, swear that I will not be a human being."

After that, when they encountered a large number of Mongolian troops, they took a small path to avoid it, and Zhuo Lingfeng felt extremely depressed.

Along the way, Zhou Zhiruo and Bei Jinyi saw that his expression was not good and he was taciturn, and they were grateful for his kindness in saving each other.

In particular, Zhou Zhiruo knew very well that he made it clear that he taught Zhang Wuji the "snap finger supernatural power", which largely saved his life.Serving him is very considerate, such as fetching water for him when he is in the store, and the extinction will not stop him.

Zhuo Lingfeng was embarrassed to accept it, and declined every time.

When they arrived in Lanzhou on this day, several people galloped all the way, preparing to change their horses.

Lanzhou, also known as Jincheng, has mixed ethnic groups and fierce folk customs. Since ancient times, it has been a transportation hub and military fortress that "connects the four regions and leads thousands of miles".

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists. There have been major wars in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Jin, the Sui, the Tang, and the Song.

After entering the city, Zhuo Lingfeng and others went to change their mounts first, and then came to the restaurant by the Yellow River, ready to have a meal and have a tooth sacrifice.

The past few days have been eating dry food and drinking water, Zhuo Lingfeng's mouth is almost fading out of the bird,
There were not many people eating upstairs, a few people sat by the window, Zhou Zhiruo ordered a plain table, Zhuo Lingfeng groaned secretly, thinking: "It's an old crime to save someone this time." But It's hard to say anything.

Little did they know that the Emei School had always been simple, if it wasn't for taking care of him, this vegetarian banquet would not be willing to order it.Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo was considerate and even ordered a jug of wine for Zhuo Lingfeng.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhuo Lingfeng was in a daze. Is it too subjective to look at this woman with what has not happened yet?
But thinking about it again, she can do those things, which means that as long as the conditions are met, she will still do it.

There is nothing wrong with her perception.

Besides, we don't have much friendship or hatred, so let's face it.

While a few people were waiting for the food, watching the silt and yellow sand flowing eastward with the turbulent Yellow River from the window made people feel infinitely moved.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew well that the water of the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization, but it also caused the Chinese people to suffer all kinds of disasters and were displaced several times.Miejue and the others thought that now the country is in ruins, ordinary people are not human, and their families are not married, so they can't help but secretly feel sad.

After a while, the food and drink arrived, and several people passed the drug test, and they asked Bei Jinyi to eat first, before they moved their chopsticks.

This can't be helped, since seeing the power of "Ten Fragrance Ruanjin Powder", no one dares to be careless.

There are people of all nationalities here in Lanzhou. The dishes are very salty and spicy, but the portions are huge, and the wine is too spicy to drink.But Jue Jue and others lived in Sichuan for a long time, and they used to like spicy food the most.

Zhuo Lingfeng felt that this was much better than eating dry food himself, and he was not picky.

The four of them didn't speak much, they were all thinking about their own concerns.

Suddenly they heard the screaming from the sky, and several people stretched out their eyes to see a big eagle, full of energy, hovering above.

Zhuo Lingfeng and the others couldn't help being stunned. At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and the two riders galloped side by side. They got off their horses as soon as they got outside the restaurant.

The two were dressed as hunters, and they were exactly the characters in Zhao Min's eight gods of arrows that he had seen a few days ago.

Juejue's eyes suddenly became angry, and a fierce murderous aura burst out.

Zhuo Lingfeng was also taken aback, thinking about the whereabouts of the few of them, could it be that this big eagle has been watching them all the time?

The few of them changed their clothes along the way, Zhuo Lingfeng was dressed as a farmer, Miejue Shitai and the other three were all wearing gray cloth clothes, which were extremely low-key, and they also wore bamboo hats.

But looking at this posture, it was obvious that Zhao Min couldn't hide it from his eyes and ears.

As soon as the man came upstairs, he glanced around, walked straight to the table of Zhuo Lingfeng and the others, bowed his hands to the four of them, and said, "Master Zhuo is too benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't give way to men. Young hero Zhuo is young and promising, and he is a great hero." , I will never forget the last time we met.

The special villain invites you to go to our village to rest your horses to show your respect. "

Seeing that the Mongols didn't treat the Han people as human beings, Zhuo Lingfeng was furious at first, and after hearing the high-sounding words, it was obvious that he was going to harm some of his own people, let alone a single person, and shouted: "Aren't you afraid of death? "

The man didn't feel happy or angry when he heard the words, but he just replied: "Young Xia Zhuo, did you promise me that day that as long as she releases the Emei Sect and doesn't take the initiative to provoke you, you will not make things difficult for us. Are you going to break your promise? In the world?"

Miejue Shitai turned his cold gaze a few times on his face, and said coldly: "Go away, young man Zhuo won't make things difficult for you. Could it be that I can't kill you all because of Juejue?"

The man said sternly: "Jiejue Shitai's swordsmanship is superb, so killing a villain is naturally easy, but let me tell you a word, don't you want the Yitian Sword?"

Juejue Shitai's white eyebrows trembled, how could she not want the Yitian Sword?

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly understood the other party's malice.

Zhao Min wanted to use the vicious means he used against Zhang Wuji and the others to deal with himself, so he used the "Yi Tian Sword" as a bait to trick Jue Jue into his urn before arresting him.

He also knew what the Yitian Sword meant for extinction, and he was afraid that she would be fooled, so he said immediately: "Master, the Yitian Sword is just a sharper sword, and it's not too important. Let her take it for a few days first, and there will be more opportunities to get it in the future." .

It should be known that Zhao Min is sinister and vicious, and I don't know what conspiracy and tricks are waiting for us.Compared with her scheming, Shixiang Ruanjinsan is the kindest. "

Zhou Zhiruo also said: "That's right, Master, that demon girl is full of tricks, and she must have bad intentions when she invited me."

Juejue slightly nodded: "Not bad!"

Looking at the two of them, he said, "Tell that witch, the Yitian Sword is my Emei's property, and I will get it back sooner or later!"

Zhuo Lingfeng secretly rejoiced: "This nun is not a reckless person!"

Seeing Jue Jue and Zhuo Lingfeng not accepting the invitation, this person smiled wryly and went downstairs.

As soon as the two met, each of them whistled, and Zhuo Lingfeng saw the falcon flapping its wings to the east above his head.

Zhuo Lingfeng frowned slightly, and said, "Master, how many days have passed since the battle at Guangmingding?"

He was afraid of giving Juejue and the others a sense of deliberately exposing scars, so he never asked about it.

But now that Zhao Min is obviously not willing to die, he has no choice but to ask.

Juejueshi didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that he shouldn't be joking with Emei, he looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo."

Zhou Zhiruo pondered and said: "We were fascinated on the third day after we came down from Guangmingding. When we met Mr. Zhuo, we had already walked for four days. We walked out of the Gobi to Yumen Pass for four days, and now it has been another three days. , almost half a month."

Zhuo Lingfeng murmured, "Half a month?"

He was thinking that in the original trajectory, the Mingjiao, including Zhang Wuji and others, were seriously injured. After the six major sects left, the Beggars' Gang and other gangs also went to the Bright Summit.

Zhang Wuji and the others spent some time in the tunnel recuperating, and then came out to fight off some gangs before rushing to the Central Plains.Then go to Green Willow Villa and meet Zhao Min.According to this time calculation, it will take a month anyway.

But now if only half a month has passed, it means that it will take half a month to wait for Zhang Wuji and the others to come.So Zhao Min should think to himself that he has plenty of time, and after tidying up himself, it's not too late to deal with Mingjiao again.

But he knew that Zhao Minna at this meeting was also going to wipe out the Mingjiao. In his eyes, he might be just an annoying fish, but he was also a fish that could ruin her event, so he could only send himself to the west. .

Zhou Zhiruo and the others looked at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning of what he said, so they signaled Zhou Zhiruo with their extinct eyes.

Zhou Zhiruo immediately asked: "What? Mr. Zhuo, is there something wrong?"

Zhuo Lingfeng thought for a while and said: "It's nothing, just think about Zhao Min's itinerary. It seems that no matter how fast her subordinates are, Shaolin Temple and Wudang School should be fine within half a month. We also have enough time."

Juejue and the others thought what he said was true, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Several people paid for the drinks, went downstairs, and left Jincheng. At dusk, when Yongdeng was approaching,

Two more people galloped ahead, with falcons flying above their heads, and they got off their horses and waited for them from a distance.

Zhuo Lingfeng and the others ignored them, passed by, and heard someone say: "Young Master Zhuo, Miejue Shitai and Miejue Shitai are both masters in the world, are you really so afraid of a weak woman?"

Juejue's eyes sharpened, he reined in the horse's reins, and the mount under his crotch let out a long hiss, and immediately stopped.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that this nun hated Zhao Min as much as Mingjiao, and was afraid that she would not be provoked, so he laughed loudly and said, "Tell Zhao Min that she doesn't need to belittle herself, she is a weak woman, she is too weak to make people feel sad .”

Juejue knew that he was blocking himself, so he continued to gallop out after thinking about it.

Zhou Zhiruo rode up to Zhuo Lingfeng's side, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Zhuo, you seem to be very afraid of this Mongolian woman?"

Zhuo Lingfeng straightened his face and said, "That's right, I'd rather fight with Zhang Zhenren than deal with this woman."

Zhou Zhiruo curled her lips: "If she loses her identity, without the help of masters like Xuan Ming and Fang Dongbai, she is nothing special."

Zhuo Lingfeng knows that the struggle between women is sometimes more inexplicable than that of men, especially those talented and pretentious women.

She smiled and said: "That's right, Miss Zhou is extraordinary in martial arts, and she has a beautiful heart. Naturally, she doesn't need to take it seriously. So I am afraid of you two to death."

Zhou Zhiruo was startled immediately, thinking: "What can I make him afraid of?"

The few people borrowed a night at a family near Yongdeng, and continued to set off the next day. At noon, they were almost at Hongchengzi, and there were horseshoes in front of them. Still respectful.

One person said: "Master Miejue, I said that she has the same purpose as yours, both of which are to destroy the Demon Cult. There is a lot of room for cooperation between us."

Jue Jue said coldly: "The Demon Cult will be destroyed, and the Yuan Court will also be destroyed. If you want to cooperate with the poor nun, she is also worthy?!"

The man said: "Mijue Shitai, my lord can tell me, if I can't invite you again today.

She destroyed the Yitian Sword, and she wanted to see if this sharp weapon would not sink even if it was thrown into the Yellow River, even if it was cut continuously by the knife and would not melt in the fire! "

Juejue raised his eyebrows and shouted, "She dares?"

Qiqi Qiqi, who is not good at arrows, snorted coldly, his disdain beyond words.That means, if she dares, you can try.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that Zhao Min was probably bluffing, but he also knew that the secret of the Yitian Sword was important for extinction, so he hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, Zhao Min will destroy the sword long ago.

Now it's just to trick us into going to her territory, you must not be fooled.

And she never came by herself, why? She was afraid that we would do something here and make her a prisoner, but once we went to her territory, maybe we would have to be lambs to be slaughtered and chickens and ducks to cook! "

Seeing Zhuo Lingfeng's stern expression, Shenjian Baxiong thought: "It's just the first time for the princess to go out as a master, and he knows that he can capture the six major sects only by using Shixiangruanjinsan.

But how could someone surnamed Zhuo be scared like this? "

Is it because he knows all the tricks of the Princess Princess, or is he cowardly in his bones?
As soon as I thought of this, I thought to myself: "I have been blinded by the world's invincible martial arts for nothing."

Extinction, Zhou Zhiruo and Bei Jinyi were also puzzled.

They saw that Zhuo Lingfeng was not afraid of facing Zhao Min and Xuanming Erlao and other masters last time, but why did they keep secret about whether to go on a date this time?

It's as if a few people go, they will definitely fall down.

Miejue Shitai said in a low voice: "Do you know something, or do you have other ideas?"

Zhuo Lingfeng also whispered: "Master, it has nothing to do with what I know.

Believe me!
Even if the two of us went to the palace, Ruyang Palace, it would be safer than following them to Zhuangzi arranged by Zhao Min.

Have you seen it, this is the only way to go back to the Middle Earth from the Western Regions.

I don't know how many of the six major factions who returned from the Western Expedition died here. "

Zhou Zhiruo raised her eyebrows, and said in a concentrated voice: "You mean, the six major factions don't know her identity, she pretends to be a member of the Jianghu, pretends to be a clean-up for the heroes who have returned from the expedition, and uses traps to trap them I took them all."

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded and said: "Of course, this is only a possibility, so we are determined not to go.

No matter where we confront her, we are not afraid, but when it comes to her home court, we can't be sure.

We can't point at her and play against us.

Who knew that she didn't have a more powerful poison than Shixiangruanjinsan?Or a more powerful organ trap? "
