The new version of Yitian and Dragon Slayer

Chapter 2 The Unforgettable

"Spring outing is mighty, it's cold food every year, pear blossom season. The white brocade has no traces and is fragrant, and the jade trees are piled up with snow. The quiet night is heavy, the floating light is misty, and the cold dip melts into the moon. In the sky on earth, the rotten silver glow shines through.

It looks like a Gushe real person, with a beautiful appearance and a very noble spirit.Wanrui is not in the same rank as Qunfang.He is noble, noble, and talented, and it is difficult to distinguish him from the earth.When Qiongtai returns, Dongtianfang can see clearly. "

The author of this poem "Wu Su Nian" was a famous martial artist and a man of Taoism in the late Southern Song Dynasty.This person's surname is Qiu, his name is Chuji, and his Taoist name is Changchunzi. He is one of the seven disciples of Quanzhen, and he is an outstanding figure in Quanzhen sect. "Ci Pin" commented on this poem: "Changchun, the world's so-called immortals, but the Ci is so clear." , Said that she is "like a real person in Gushe, with a beautiful appearance and a very noble spirit", and said that she is "a noble spirit and a hero, with outstanding talents", and "not in the same rank as the others".The beauty praised in the poem is Xiaolongnv, the descendant of the Ancient Tomb School.She loved to wear white clothes all her life, she was really like the wind blowing on a jade tree, and the snow covering a bud, and she was cold in nature, so she really deserved the description of "cold soaked and melted into the moon". It can be said that it is very appropriate to present it with "no vulgar thoughts".Changchunzi Qiu Chuji lived next to her on Mount Zhongnan. When he saw her, he marveled that there is such a peerless beauty in the world, so he wrote this poem.

At this time, Qiu Chuji had passed away for a long time, and Xiao Longnv had also married Yang Guo, the hero of the carving, and lived together in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain.On the mountain road of Shaoshi Mountain in Henan, there is another girl who is reciting this word in a low voice.

The girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing light yellow clothes, riding a green donkey, slowly going up the mountain path, thinking in her heart: "Only someone like Sister Long is worthy of her." The word "he" naturally refers to Yang Guo, the Condor Hero.She didn't pull the rein either, and let the green donkey stroll up the mountain.After a long time, she whispered again: "Happiness is fun, parting is bitter, and there are even more idiotic children. You should have something to say, ten thousand miles of clouds, thousands of mountains and snow at dusk, who does the shadow go to?"

She hangs a dagger at her waist, and her face has a dusty look, which shows that she has traveled far away for a long time; her youth is like a flower, and she is in a happy and carefree year, but there is a faint melancholy in her face, which seems to be full of melancholy, and the heart is on the brow. , there is no way to avoid it.

This girl's surname is Guo, and her single name is Xiang. She is the second daughter of the hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong.With a donkey and a sword, she wandered alone, hoping to relieve her depression, but she didn't know that drinking wine added to her sorrow, but traveling alone in famous mountains usually only increased her sorrow.

Shaoshi Mountain in Henan Province is majestic and majestic, but the mountain road is a long row of wide stone steps, the scale is magnificent, and the project is really not small. It was excavated by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for the Shaolin Temple, with a total length of eight miles.Guo Xiang rode up on a green donkey, and saw five waterfalls on the opposite mountain, flying beads and jade, rushing down, and looking down at the mountains, they were like ants.Turning a corner along the mountain road, you can see a huge temple with yellow walls and green tiles.

She stared at the continuous room for a while, and thought: "Shaolin Temple has always been the source of martial arts in the world, but Huashan held two sword discussions, why is there no eminent monk from Shaolin Temple among the five masters? Could it be that the martial arts masters in the temple are not sure, afraid Falling into prestige, why don't you go to the meeting? Could it be that the monks are superbly cultivated, have lost their reputation, although their martial arts are high, they don't want to compete with others to win?"

She got off the green donkey and walked slowly towards the front of the temple, only to see a forest of steles shaded by dense trees.Most of the stone tablet has been destroyed, and the handwriting is blurred. I don't know what is written on it.I thought to myself: "Even the words carved on the stone tablet will disappear after a long time. How can it be engraved on my heart, but it will become clearer as time goes by?" It is the imperial letter bestowed by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty to the monks of Shaolin Temple, commending the monks of Shaolin Temple for their meritorious service to put an end to the chaos.The inscription says that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the King of Qin, he led troops to attack Wang Shichong, and monks from Shaolin Temple joined the army to make meritorious service.Among them, only one monk of the Tanzong sect was appointed as a general, and the other twelve monks did not want to be officials. Tang Taizong gave each one a purple cassock.She was fascinated by the imagination: "During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shaolin Temple's martial arts were already famous all over the world, and they have been striving for perfection for hundreds of years. How many masters there are in this temple?"

Since Guo Xiang broke up with Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv in Huashan, she hasn't heard from them for three years.She often thought about herself, so she told her parents that she would go out to visit the mountains and rivers. She expected that his wife and his wife would live in seclusion in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain, so she went to the ancient tomb to ask to see her.Two maids came out from the tomb, and said that Yang Guo and his wife had not come back, and Guo Xiang was entertained and stayed in the ancient tomb for three days.But Yang Guo and his wife didn't specify the date of return, so Guo Xiang came out to walk casually again. She traveled from north to south, and from east to west, almost half of the Central Plains, but she never heard any recent news about the eagle hero Yang Guo.

One day when she arrived in Henan, she remembered that there was a monk in Shaolin Temple, Zen Master Wuse, who was Yang Guo's good friend. On her 16th birthday, Wuse looked at Yang Guo and asked someone to send him a gift. He met him before, you might as well ask him, maybe he will know Yang Guo's whereabouts, that's why he came to Shaolin Temple.

Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the sound of iron chains clanging from behind the bushes beside the forest of steles, and one person recited a Buddhist scripture: "It is the time when the king of Yaksha is about to, and among the countless hundreds of thousands of millions of people, say Shengmiao Jiata : Out of love comes sorrow, out of love comes fear; if you are separated from the one you love, there is no worry and no fear..." Guo Xiang couldn't help but be infatuated after hearing these four lines of verse, and said silently in her heart: " From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear; if you are separated from the one you love, there is neither worry nor fear." Only the sound of iron chains dragging the floor and the sound of chanting to Buddha gradually faded away.

Guo Xiang said in a low voice: "I want to ask him, how can he be free from love, how can he be free from worry and fear?" He casually wrapped the rein of the donkey around the tree, pushed aside the bushes, and chased after him.Behind the tree was a path up the mountain. A monk picked up a pair of big barrels and was walking slowly up the mountain.Guo Xiang followed quickly and ran to a distance of seven or eight zhang from the monk, she couldn't help being surprised, she saw that the monk picked up a pair of big iron buckets, more than twice the size of ordinary water buckets, the monk's neck was in the middle , hands, and feet are covered with thick iron chains, and the iron chains drag the ground when walking, making non-stop noises.The pair of big iron buckets themselves probably weigh about two hundred catties, and the buckets are filled with water, the weight is even more astonishing.Guo Xiang shouted: "Eminent monk, please stop, the little girl has something to ask."

The monk turned his head, and the two faced each other, both startled.It turned out that this monk was Jue Yuan. Three years ago, the two met at the top of Mount Hua.Guo Xiang knew that although he was pedantic by nature, his inner strength was profound and he was not inferior to any master in the world, so he said, "Who am I? It turns out to be Master Jue Yuan. May I ask what training you are doing now?" Jue Yuan nodded, smiled slightly, He even saluted, turned around and left without answering.Guo Xiang shouted: "Master Jueyuan, don't you recognize me? I'm Guo Xiang." Jueyuan smiled back and nodded, this time he didn't stop.Guo Xiang said again: "Who bound you with iron chains? How could you treat you so badly?" Jue Yuan stretched his left palm behind his head and shook it a few times, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Guo Xiang saw such strange things, how could she not figure it out?She quickly chased after him, wanting to stop him in front of him, unexpectedly although Jueyuan was wearing iron chains all over her body and carrying a pair of big iron buckets, Guo Xiang quickly chased after him, but she still couldn't get in front of him.Guo Xiang's childlike heart was aroused, and she started her family's lightness kung fu, with her feet pointing, she flew up and stretched out her hand to grab the edge of the iron bucket. Seeing that she was sure to catch it, unexpectedly when she dropped her hand, she still missed by two inches.Guo Xiang shouted: "Great monk, with such a good skill, I must catch up with you." But Jian Jueyuan walked unhurriedly, the sound of iron chains clanging like music, the higher and higher he walked, until he reached the back mountain .

Guo Xiang went straight and got more and more breathless, but she was still about ten feet away from him, she couldn't help admiring her in her heart: "My father and mother are on Mount Hua, they said that this great monk's martial arts skills are extremely high, I didn't really believe it at the time, but when I saw him today, I knew my father Mom’s words are really good.” After Jian Jueyuan turned around and walked to a hut, he poured two buckets of water from the iron bucket into a well.

Guo Xiang was amazed and shouted: "Monk, what are you doing, carrying water and dumping it in the well?" Jue Yuan looked peaceful and just shook his head.Guo Xiang suddenly realized something and said with a smile: "Ah, you are practicing a profound internal skill." Jue Yuan shook his head again.

Guo Xiang was annoyed in her heart, and said: "I heard you chanting scriptures just now, and you're not dumb, why didn't you answer me?" Jue Yuan saluted, with apologetic expression on his face, without saying a word, he picked up the iron bucket Then go down the mountain.Guo Xiang probed the mouth of the well and looked down, saw that the well water was clear and there was nothing unusual, stared blankly at Jue Yuan's back, full of suspicion.

She had just been chasing after a while, feeling a little restless, sitting on the fence of the well, looking at the surrounding scenery, at this time she was already higher than all the buildings in Shaolin Temple, but she saw the cliffs of Shaoshi Mountain piercing the sky, horizontal like a screen, and the wind down the cliff The smoke is misty, and the bells in the temple are sent by the wind, which makes people feel bored and vulgar.After looking at it for a while, I thought to myself: "Since the monk refuses to tell, I'll just ask that young man. Where is this monk's disciple?" Walking down the mountain, he wanted to ask Jueyuan's disciple Zhang Junbao.After walking for a distance, he suddenly heard the sound of iron smelting, and Jueyuan carried water up the mountain again.Guo Xiang dodged behind the tree, thinking: "Let me secretly see what he is up to."

The sound of iron smelting approached, and Jue Yuan was still carrying the pair of iron buckets, but holding a book in his hand, reciting softly with all his concentration.Guo Xiang waited for him to come to her side, jumped out suddenly, and shouted: "Great monk, what book are you reading?"

Jue Yuan lost his voice and shouted: "Ah, I was shocked. It turned out to be you." Guo Xiang laughed and said, "You're pretending to be dumb, why are you talking?" shook hands.Guo Xiang said, "What are you afraid of?"

Before Jueyuan could answer, two gray-clothed monks suddenly appeared from the forest, one tall and the other short.The slender monk shouted: "Jueyuan, you don't abide by the precepts, and speak without permission, not to mention talking to strangers outside the temple, let alone talking to young women. This is the head of the precepts hall." Jueyuan hung his head and nodded. Nodding, followed the two monks.

Guo Xiang was very frightened, and shouted: "Is there still a rule that people are not allowed to speak? I know this master, and I am talking to him, what are you doing?" The thin and long monk rolled his eyes and said: "For thousands of years, Shaolin Temple prohibits women from trespassing [1]. Please go down the mountain, girl, so you don't make yourself miserable." Guo Xiang was even more angry, and said: "What about women? Are women not human? Why are you making things difficult for Master Jueyuan? Bind him with iron chains, and forbid him to speak?" The monk said coldly, "The emperor has nothing to do with the affairs of this temple. Why don't you ask me more?"

Guo Xiang said angrily: "This master is a honest and good man. You deceived him and tortured him like this. Humph, where is Zen Master Tianming? Where are the colorless and phaseless monks? You go and call them out. I would like to ask the truth."

The two monks were startled.Zen Master Tianming is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Zen Master Wushi is the head seat of the Arhat Hall of this temple, and Zen Master Wuxiang is the head seat of the Bodhidharma Hall. The three are revered. Master Motang", never dared to mention the name of the Dharma, but a young woman dared to go up the mountain to yell and denounce his name.

Those two monks are disciples of the head seat of the precept hall, they were ordered by the head teacher to monitor Jue Yuan, at this moment, hearing Guo Xiang's reckless words, the thin and tall monk shouted: "The female benefactor disturbs the pure place of Buddhism again, don't blame the little monk rude."

Guo Xiang said: "Am I still afraid of you monk? Quickly remove the iron chain from Master Jueyuan, then forget it, otherwise I will settle the score with old monk Tianming." The dwarf monk was speechless when he heard Guo Xiang's words. Seeing her dagger hanging from her waist again, she said in a low voice, "You leave the weapon behind, and we won't come to learn from you, so let's go down the mountain." Guo Xiang took off the dagger, held it up in both hands, and said with a sneer: " All right, I will obey Taiwan's orders."

The dwarf monk became a monk in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and he has always heard from his uncles and senior brothers that Shaolin Temple is the source of martial arts in the world, and he also heard that no matter how famous or how powerful a martial arts master is, he never dares to enter the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple with a weapon .Although this young girl has not entered the temple, she is already under the jurisdiction of Shaolin Temple, she thought she was really scared, so she obediently handed over the dagger, so she stretched out her hand to catch it.As soon as his fingers touched the scabbard, suddenly his arm shook violently, like an electric shock, a strong force was transmitted from the dagger, pushing him back sharply, he couldn't stand on his feet, and then fell down.He was on a slope, once he fell down, he rolled down several feet, and managed to hold on with great difficulty.

The slender monk was startled and angry, and shouted: "You have eaten the heart of a lion and the guts of a leopard, and you dare to come to Shaolin Temple to play wild!" He turned around, took a step, and punched out with his right hand, followed by a punch with his left palm on the right fist. Stepping together, it turns into a double palm downward chop, which is the No. 20 eight-style "turning over and chopping" in "Crossing Shaolin".

Guo Xiang grabbed the hilt of the sword and threw it at his shoulder with the sheath.The monk lowered his shoulders and returned his palms, grabbing the scabbard.Jueyuan watched anxiously, and shouted: "Don't do it, don't do it! You have something to say." At this moment, the monk had grasped the scabbard with his right hand, and was about to grab it with force, when he suddenly felt a shock in his hand. , his arms were numb, and he just yelled: "Not good!" Guo Xiang swept his left leg and kicked him downhill.The blow he suffered was much heavier than that of the dwarf monk, he rolled all the way, a lot of blood was wiped from his head and face, and then he stopped.

Guo Xiang thought: "I came to Shaolin Temple to inquire about big brother's information, and I fought with people for no reason, really for no reason." Seeing Jueyuan standing aside with a sad face, he immediately drew out his short sword and slashed at the iron chains on his hands and feet. go.Although this short sword is not a rare treasure, it is also an extremely sharp weapon. With a few clangs, the iron chain broke three bars.Jueyuan shouted repeatedly: "No, no!" Guo Xiang said: "What can't be done?" Pointing to the two monks, tall and short, who were rushing towards the temple, he said: "These two evil monks must be rushing to report the news, let's go quickly Where's your little apprentice named Zhang? Take him with you!" Jueyuan just waved his hand.Suddenly I heard a person behind me say: "Thank you for your concern, Miss, the little one is here."

Guo Xiang turned around and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy standing behind him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, but a childish face. It was Zhang Junbao who met on the top of Huashan three years ago.Compared to that day, he was much taller, but his appearance remained unchanged.Guo Xiang was overjoyed and said: "The evil monks here bully your master, let's go." Zhang Junbao shook his head and said, "No one bullies my master." Guo Xiang pointed to Jueyuan and said: "Those two evil monks chained you Master, don't even allow him to say a word, isn't that bullying?" Jue Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, pointed down the mountain, and signaled Guo Xiang to get away as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

Guo Xiang knew that there were countless people in Shaolin Temple who surpassed her in martial arts, but seeing the injustice in front of her, she couldn't just ignore it, but she was afraid that the masters in the temple would come out to intercept her, so she pulled Jueyuan with one hand and Zhang Junbao with the other. , stamped his feet and said: "Go, go, what's the matter, can't you go down the mountain and talk slowly?" The two just didn't move.

Suddenly, seven or eight monks rushed out of the side gate of the monastery on the hillside, carrying wooden sticks equal to their eyebrows, and shouted: "Wild girls from there, dare to come to Shaolin Temple to play wild?" Zhang Junbao raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, don't be rude, this The bit is..."

Guo Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't say my name." She thought that today's disaster seems to be serious, maybe it will be out of control if it continues, don't involve parents, and added: "Let's go over the mountain! Don't mention the names of my father, mother and friends." Only the sound of shouting from the top of the mountain was heard behind, and seven or eight monks came out.

Seeing monks appearing before and after, Guo Xiang frowned deeply, and said anxiously: "You two mothers-in-law and mothers are not manly at all! Are you going or not?" Zhang Junbao said: "Master, Miss Guo has good intentions..."

At this moment, four yellow-clothed monks sprang out from the side door below, rushing up the slope, they didn't have any weapons in their hands, but their movements were quick and their skirts were windy, obviously their martial arts were superb.Seeing this situation, Guo Xiang wanted to get away alone, but she couldn't, so she simply stood still and watched the changes.At that time, a monk rushed to a distance of four zhang from her, and said in a clear voice: "The head master of the Arhat Hall has issued an order: come, put down your weapons, and state the details in the reed pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and listen to the Dharma."

Guo Xiang sneered and said: "The great monks in Shaolin Temple are full of officialism, and their official accent is very nice. May I ask all the great monks, are they the officials of the Song Emperor or the Mongol Emperor? Or are they still the Dajin Emperor?" Officer?"

At this time, to the north of the Huai River, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty had already fallen, and it was originally under the control of the Kingdom of Jin. Now the Kingdom of Jin has perished in Mongolia, and the place where the Shaolin Temple is located has long been under the control of Mongolia. However, the Mongolian army has been attacking Xiangyang for years, and they are busy adjusting the situation. The soldiers dispatched the generals, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to the matter of the Jungle Temple, so the Shaolin Temple remained the same as it was before.The monk heard Guo Xiang's sarcasm, he couldn't help but blushed, and he felt that it was inappropriate to give an order to outsiders, so he said: "I don't know why the benefactor came to our temple, please put down your weapon and go to the next reed on the mountain Serve tea in the pavilion and talk."

Guo Xiang heard that his words were calm, so she wanted to take the opportunity to close the awning, and said: "You don't let me enter the temple, so I'm curious? Hmph, is there any treasure in Shaolin Temple, so I'll get it when I see it?" Xiang Zhang Junbao With a wink, he said in a low voice: "Are you going or not?" Zhang Junbao shook his head, and made a gesture towards Jueyuan with the corner of his mouth, meaning that he wanted to serve his master.Guo Xianglang said: "Okay, then I don't care, I'm leaving." Babu went downhill.

No.1 monk in yellow stepped aside. No. 2 and No. 3 monks in yellow stretched out their hands to stop them at the same time, saying in unison: "Put down the weapon." Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Monk No. 1 said: "We dare not keep the female benefactor's weapon. The female benefactor will return the sword as soon as she arrives at the foot of the mountain. This has been the rule of Shaolin Temple for thousands of years, please forgive me."

Guo Xiang heard his polite words, she hesitated: "If I don't leave the dagger, there will be a fight, I am alone, how can I be the opponent of the monks in the whole temple? But if I leave the dagger, wouldn't it be grandpa, father, mother , Big Brother, and Sister Long lost all face in one go?"

She hesitated for a while, when suddenly a yellow shadow flickered in front of her eyes, and one of them shouted: "When you come to Shaolin Temple, you bring a sword and hurt people, how can there be any reason in this world?" There was a strong wind, and five fingers grabbed the scabbard.If the monk didn't attack rashly, Guo Xiang would probably leave the short sword behind after some hesitation.She has a very different temperament from Naijie Guo Fu, although she is bold, she is not reckless, since the current situation is extremely unfavorable, she will hold back for a while, and discuss it with her grandfather and parents in the future to find the situation again.But the opponent suddenly flaunted his strength, how could he let him take away the sword?
The monk's grasping technique was both ruthless and skillful. As soon as he grabbed the scabbard, he thought that Guo Xiang would definitely grab it back. A monk and a young woman were pulling and tugging. And to the right.Guo Xiang gave him such a push and grab, but she really couldn't hold the scabbard firmly, she immediately grabbed the hilt, and with a "shua" sound, a cold light came out of the box.The monk snatched the scabbard with his right hand, but two fingers of his left hand were cut by the dagger. Under severe pain, he dropped the scabbard and stepped back.

When all the monks saw that their fellow monk was injured, they were all frightened and angry. They attacked together with sticks and sticks.Guo Xiang thought to herself: "If I don't do it, I won't stop, anyway, I can't do it well today." Using the "Luoying Sword Technique" handed down by her family, she rushed down the mountain.The monks lined up in three rows and blocked them head-on.

The Luoying sword technique was evolved by Huang Yaoshi from Taohua Luoying palm technique. Although it is not as exquisite as the Yuxiao sword technique, it is still unique in Peach Blossom Island. But seeing the green light surge, the sword flowers are like colorful fallen flowers, scattered in all directions. Suddenly, two more monks were injured.Several monks from behind followed suit, condescendingly attacking.It is reasonable that Guo Xiang could not resist, but the Shaolin monks are compassionate and strictly disciplined, they do not want to hurt her life, all the tricks they use are not killers, they only want to restrain her, admonish her, withhold their weapons, and chase her down the mountain go.But Guo Xiang's sword light is scattered, but it is not easy to attack close.

At the beginning, all the monks only talked about a young girl, so why not dismiss her easily?After seeing her excellent swordsmanship, I realized that if she was not a daughter of a famous family, or a disciple of a famous teacher, she would probably not be able to offend her, and her moves were more measured.

During the fight, a tall and thin old monk approached slowly, with his hands in his sleeves, watching the fight with a smile.Two monks walked up to him and whispered a few words.Guo Xiang was out of breath from the fight, her sword skills were messed up, she shouted loudly: "What is the source of martial arts in the world, it turns out that more than ten monks swarmed up and besieged a woman."

That old monk was the first Zen Master Wu Se in the Arhat Hall, upon hearing what she said, he said, "Everyone, stop!" All the monks stopped immediately and jumped away.Zen Master Wu Se said: "What's your surname, girl, who are your father and your master? I don't know what you can do when you come to Shaolin Temple?"

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "I can't tell you the names of my parents. I came to Shaolin Temple to inquire about elder brother's news, so I can't tell them in public. Now that the trouble has become like this, in the future, when parents and elder brother find out, they must Blame me, why not slip away quietly." Said: "I can't tell you my name, I just saw the beautiful scenery on the mountain, so I came up to visit and play. It turns out that the Shaolin Temple is more powerful than the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, and it can catch people's weapons at every turn. Excuse me, master, have I entered the mountain gate of your temple? Shaoshi Mountain was bought by the whole mountain of Shaolin Temple, right? Patriarch Bodhidharma passed down the martial arts back then, and I thought it was just teaching monks to strengthen their bodies so that they could practice meditation and become Buddhas. Unexpectedly, Shaolin Temple became more and more famous Big, the higher your martial arts, the more famous you are for being a bully. Well, if you want to detain me with a weapon, you will stay here. Even if you kill me, you will not be able to kill me. Today's incident will not be ignored in the world. People know."

She used to be eloquent, and this incident was not entirely her fault, her words only made Zen Master Wu Se speechless.Guo Xiangjian judged her appearance and thought: "I am afraid that people will know about this nonsense, it seems that Shaolin Temple is even more reluctant to publicize it. More than ten monks besieged a young girl, what's the point of telling it?" Then he threw the short sword to the ground , at your fingertips.

Zen Master Wu Se stepped forward, flicked his robe sleeves, rolled up the dagger, held the blade with both hands, and said: "Since the girl does not want to show her family's inheritance, please take back this sword, and I will send it down the mountain respectfully."

Guo Xiang smiled sweetly, and said: "The old monk is still sensible, this is the demeanor of a famous artist." She took advantage of it, and praised Wu Se casually, stretched out her hand for the sword, and couldn't help being surprised when she mentioned it.It turned out that there was a suction force in the opponent's palm. Although she grabbed the hilt of the sword, she couldn't lift the blade.She worked hard three times, but she still couldn't take the dagger, and said: "Okay, you are showing your skills." Suddenly, she swung her left hand obliquely, and lightly brushed the "Tianding" and "Giant Bone" on his left neck. two holes.Wu Se's heart trembled, and he leaned to dodge, his energy relaxed a little, Guo Xiangying raised the dagger in his hand.

Wu Se said: "Such a handsome orchid blowing kung fu! How do you call the girl and the owner of Peach Blossom Island?"

Guo Xiang smiled and said, "Peach Blossom Island Master? I'll call him Lao Dongxie." The Peach Blossom Island Master Dongxie Huang Yaoshi is Guo Xiang's grandfather.He called his granddaughter "Little Dongxie", and Guo Xiang called her "Old Dongxie". Not only did Huang Yaoshi not feel disobedient, but he was delighted.

Wu Se was born in the green forest when he was a teenager. Although he has practiced Zen for decades and is superb in Buddhism, his heroic spirit is still undiminished. Otherwise, how could he become friends with Yang Guo?Seeing that the little girl refused to reveal her master's background, she wanted to try her out, and said with a bright smile: "Little girl, take ten tricks from me. Let's see how the old monk's vision is. Can you tell me about your school?"

Guo Xiang said: "If you can't see the ten tricks, so what?" Zen Master Wu Se laughed loudly and said: "If the girl can catch the old monk's ten tricks, then there is nothing to say, of course I just obey." Guo Xiang Pointing to Jueyuan, he said, "I had a relationship with this master once in the past, and I want to ask for a favor on his behalf. If you can't tell me who my master is in the ten moves, you must agree to me, and you can't do it again." It’s hard for the master.”

Wu Se is very strange, thinking that Jue Yuan is so pedantic, he has been in charge of books in the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion for decades, and has never interacted with outsiders, how could he become friends with this beautiful girl?Said: "We didn't make it difficult for him. The monks in this temple broke the precepts, no matter who they are, they must be punished. That's not a big problem." Guo Xiang flattened her mouth and said with a sneer: "Hmph, let's talk about it , you are still an asshole."

Wu Se slapped both palms and said: "Okay, it's up to you, it's up to you. If the old man loses, he will carry the [-] loads of water for Jueyuan Junior Brother. Be careful, girl, I'm going to make a move."

When Guo Xiang talked to him, she made a plan in her mind: "The old monk is as calm as a mountain, and his martial arts are superb. If he makes a move, I will try my best to resist, and I must show my parents' martial arts. Why don't I seize the opportunity first?" , make ten moves in a row." Listening to him say "be careful, girl, I'm going to make a move" these two words, before he raised his palm and raised his leg, with a snort, the dagger pierced straight through his chest, making peach blossoms One of the tricks in Dao's "Luoying Sword Technique" is called "Wanzi Qianhong". When the sword tip is thrust out, it can't stop shaking, so that the opponent can't see where the sword tip is attacking.Wu Se knew how powerful it was, so he didn't dare to attack, so he leaned forward and dodged away.

Guo Xiang shouted: "Here comes the second move!" The dagger turned around and stabbed from bottom to top, but it was a move of "Heavenly Lord Hanging Upside Down" in the Quanzhen School's sword technique.Wu Se said: "Okay, it's Quanzhen swordsmanship." Guo Xiang said: "That's not necessarily the case." The short sword missed, seeing Wu Se turned from defense to attack, he stretched out his fingers to grab his wrist, secretly surprised: "The old monk is really amazing. Under such a dangerous sword move, he can attack with bare hands." Seeing his fingers stretched out to the front door, the short sword swung a few times, and he used the "dog beating stick method" One of the tricks in the book is "evil dog blocking the way", which belongs to the word "seal".

Since she was a child, she had made friends with Lu Youjiao, the former leader of the Beggar Gang, and sometimes pestered him to compete in martial arts while drinking and guessing.Although there are rules in the Beggar Clan, the dog-beating-stick technique is a miraculous technique that cannot be passed down unless the leader of the beggar gang, but when Lu Youjiao started to use it, Guo Xiang finally learned a trick secretly.What's more, the previous leader Huang Rong was her mother, and the current leader Yeluqi is her brother-in-law. She has seen this dog-beating-stick technique quite a few times. Eyes and ears.

Just as the colorless fingers were about to touch her wrist, white light flashed suddenly, and the sword's edge came so miraculously that almost all five fingers were cut off at the same time. Finally, he had excellent martial arts skills, changed his moves quickly, and took two steps back in a hurry, but sneered With a scoffing sound, the dagger had cut a long hole in the left sleeve.Zen Master Wushi changed his color and looked sideways, a burst of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Guo Xiangda was very proud, and said with a smile: "What kind of sword technique is this?" In fact, there is no such sword technique in the world, she just secretly learned a dog-beating-stick technique and used it in her sword moves, because of the dog-beating stick technique It was too mysterious, and even though she made it seem plausible, she also shocked a famous Shaolin eminent monk full of doubts and stared blankly.

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "I just need to use a few more moves to hit the dog with the stick, and I will definitely kill the old monk. It's a pity that I won't do it again except for this moment." Waiting for Wu Se to calm down , the dagger flutters lightly, and he floats forward, with a posture that looks like a fairy.

The Jade Maiden swordsmanship was created by the heroine Lin Chaoying back then, and is rarely seen in Jianghu. Not only are her sword moves fierce, but she also pays attention to her richness and refinement, and her posture is elegant. The fierce way of waiting is completely different. In fact, in terms of swordsmanship, it may not be better than Shaolin's other swordsmanship. It's just that it is extremely beautiful at a glance, just like the Buddhist scriptures: "The appearance is graceful, the solemn It is elegant, upright and pleasing, and the viewers will never tire of it." The monks had never seen it before, and they were all surprised and delighted.

Although Zen Master Wuse had a good relationship with Yang Guo, he had never seen him use the Jade Maiden sword technique, seeing Guo Xiang's sword was so beautiful, he only wanted to see another move, so he leaned over and dodged, waiting for her to strike again.

Guo Xiang's sword moves changed abruptly, moving eastward and westward, slashing several swords in succession.Zhang Junbao was fascinated by the sidelines, and suddenly let out a "hey".It turned out that Guo Xiang's move was "extensible in all directions", three years ago when Yang Guo taught Zhang Junbao on the top of Huashan Mountain, Guo Xiang watched from the sidelines, so she used it at this time.What Yang Guo taught back then was palm technique, now Guo Xiang changed to sword technique, the power has weakened a lot, but the strangeness of sword technique is enough to make Wu Se secretly startled.

Qu Shuo thought, Guo Xiang had used five moves, but Wu Se couldn't see any clue.In his prime, he traveled all over the rivers and lakes and had a wealth of experience. He has been the head of Luohan Hall for more than ten years, and he has studied martial arts of various schools and schools.Therefore, he is confident that no matter how good the opponent is, he will be able to tell his background from the number of moves. He saw that Guo Xiang was young, and he made an appointment with her for ten moves, which left a lot of room for him.Unexpectedly, Guo Xiang's parents, mentors and friends are all first-class masters in the contemporary era, she intercepted a stance in each of them, and made a lot of miscellaneous remarks, only to be dazzled by the colorless, there is no reason for it.

Once the four swords and eight moves that "extend in all directions", Wu Se thought, "If I let her make moves, I'm afraid she will have a steady stream of strange moves, not to mention ten moves, even a hundred moves may not be able to see the clues. As long as I make a fierce attack, she will have to use her own martial arts to dismantle it." Immediately, she turned her upper body to the left and performed a move of "Shuang Guan Er".

Seeing how powerful his fist was, Guo Xiang didn't dare to block it, she twisted her body and slipped between her palms.Back then, she heard that Ying Gu had the "loach kung fu", which was slippery and could be used when the weak were no match for the strong. She once asked Ying Gu for some advice, and now she followed suit.Her physical strength and physical skills are not as good as Ying Gu's, but Wu Se Zen Master didn't really kill her, and let her slip away gently.

Wu Se cheered and said: "Good posture, catch me again." The circle of flowers on the left palm raised, elbows were bent to the chest, the tiger's mouth was facing upwards, it was the "Yellow Oriole Falling from the Frame" in Shaolin boxing.He is a martial arts master of Shaolin Temple, with different identities, although the variety of martial arts he knows is better than that of Guo Xiang, but every move and style he uses is pure and authentic martial arts.Shaolin boxing is upright, it seems ordinary, but when it is practiced to a deep level, it is really powerful.Guo Xiang felt his upper body was covered by the power of his left palm, and immediately turned the hilt of the sword upside down, using the sword as his finger, and used the "Yi Yang Zhi" move he learned from Wu Xiuwen to go straight Point the three acupoints of "Carpal Bone", "Yanggu" and "Old Age" on the colorless wrist.She has only learned a little superficial in the "one yang finger" acupuncture method, which is extremely superficial, but the technique of pointing three acupoints with one finger is the essence of one yang finger kung fu.

Master Yideng's Yiyang Finger Kungfu is famous all over the world, Chan Master Wuse knew it naturally, when he saw Guo Xiang's move, he was startled, and hastily withdrew his hands and changed his move.In fact, if Wu Se didn't hold back, let her bump into three acupoints in a row, she would immediately realize that this "one yang finger" kung fu is not genuine, but when both sides are fighting with all their strength, how can he easily take the risk of a world famous name?What's more, even if the other party sees the "one yang finger", it should have a long history, so it is advisable to let it go well.

Guo Xiang smiled sweetly, and said: "The Great Monk knows it really well!" Wu Se snorted, and hit out a move "Danfeng Chaoyang", this move opened his hands wide and wide, held high, with strength everywhere, Guo Xiang's hands Unable to hold the dagger, it fell to the ground.She clearly knew that the other party would not seriously attack the killer, so she didn't panic, her fists were interlaced, if there was nothing there, it was the old naughty boy Zhou Botong's masterpiece 72 Kongming Fist, the four "smart hands are empty".

This style of boxing was created by Zhou Botong himself, it has not been spread in Jianghu, even though Wu Se is profound, he doesn't know it.He drew an arc with his palms and sent out a stance of "Seven Flowers and Seven Stars". His palms were like lightning, and he cut into Guo Xiang's palm at once. If she didn't use her internal strength to fight back, her palm would have to be bent back and snapped off.This move of Shaolin School's basic kung fu "Seven Flowers and Seven Stars" seems slow but fast, light but heavy. Although it is a posture of "Crossing Shaolin", the inner strength of the mind comes from "deified Shaolin". It was originally the highest level in Shaolin boxing. realm.

Guo Xiang's palm was restrained, she thought to herself: "Could it be that you are really going to break my metacarpal bone?" With a wave of his hand, he used the "Iron Pu Fan Hand" move, palm to palm, and counterattacked.She learned this trick from Wu Xiuwen's wife Wanyan Ping, and it was a method handed down by Qiu Qianren back then.This iron palm skill is said to be the most vigorous and powerful among all the martial arts palms. Zen Master Wusei studied the palm skill intensively, how could he not know?Seeing this young girl suddenly use this iron palm gang's housekeeping palm technique, she can't help but be surprised, if she uses her palm force recklessly, firstly she doesn't want to hurt her, and secondly, she doesn't want the opponent to hit herself.He is loyal and heroic by nature, seeing that Guo Xiang's every move looks like it, he didn't expect to master the martial arts of so many schools for a while, how can this young girl under 20 years old be able to do it, knowing the opponent's strength Limited, still hastily withdrew his palm and retreated half a zhang.

Guo Xiang smiled sweetly, and shouted: "The tenth trick is here, what school do you think I am?" Raising his left hand, he leaned against his body, and stretched out his right hand, to hold the colorless jaw.Wu Se and the monks in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.This stance of "turning back from the sea of ​​bitterness" is exactly a stance in Luohan Boxing, the authentic boxing art of Shaolin School, which is unique to other schools.The purpose of this move is to hold down the top of the enemy's head with the left hand, hold the enemy's chin with the right hand, and twist his head and neck. In severe cases, the head and neck will be broken, and in light cases, the joints will be dislodged. It is a very powerful killer.

Seeing that she performed this move of Arhat Fist, Zen Master Wu Sei could not help being angry and funny when he saw that she was actually reading the Book of Filial Piety in front of Confucius, and Lu Ban was holding a big ax at the door.He has mastered this style of boxing dozens of years ago, and when it comes across it, he responds without hesitation. Even if he is asleep, he may be able to dismantle this style of boxing, and immediately steps forward. His left hand stretched across Guo Xiang's body, and he clasped her right shoulder with a flip of his hand. His right hand was as fast as lightning, and reached out to the back of her neck.This move is called "Holding the Mountain to Surpass the Sea", and it is the only way to dismantle the move "Bitter Sea Turns Back". With one lift of both hands, the enemy's body can be lifted off the ground.Guo Xiang could have used the "elbow crossing" position to press his elbows back, which could not only escape the predicament, but also counter the enemy, but Zen Master Wu Se's move was too fast, her body was already lifted in a blink of an eye, and her body If you fall into the hand and leave your feet off the ground, you will naturally lose.

Zen Master Wuse restrained Guo Xiang casually, and was stunned: "Oops! I was only interested in winning, but I didn't expect to identify her master's sect. She used ten different martial arts in ten strokes, how do you say that? I can't say She is from the Shaolin School!" Guo Xiang struggled hard and shouted, "Let me go!" There was a clang sound, and something fell from her body.Guo Xiang called again: "Old monk, are you still going to let me go?"

Zen Master Wu Se saw that all living beings are equal, not to mention that there is no distinction between men and women, even horses, cattle, pigs and dogs, he treated them equally, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, the old monk will let you go!" , throwing her two feet away.

Although Guo Xiang was restrained in this move, Wu Se couldn't recognize her sect within ten moves, and was about to give in, when she lowered her head, she suddenly saw a dark mass on the ground, which were two small iron casts arhat.

Guo Xiang stood still on the ground and said, "Great monk, do you admit defeat?" Wu Se raised his head, beaming with joy, and said with a smile, "How could I lose? I know your father is the hero Guo Jing, and Lingtang is the heroine Huang Rong." , your grandfather is the owner of Huangdao, Peach Blossom Island. Miss Guo Er's name is a word for "Xiang" in Xiangyang. Your lord is also the head of the Seven Monsters in the South of the Yangtze River, Peach Blossom Island, Nine Finger Beggars, and the Quanzhen School. Guo Er The young lady has a long history of family education, and her skills are really extraordinary."

Guo Xiang was dumbfounded by these words, she was speechless for a while, she thought to herself: "This old monk is really evil, my ten tricks are messed up, but he still recognizes them."

Seeing that she was at a loss, Zen Master Wuse picked up the pair of small iron arhats with a smile, and said, "Miss Guo Er, the old monk can't lie to you, child. I recognize you because of this pair of iron arhats."

Guo Xiang was stunned, and suddenly understood, and said: "Ah, you are Wuhui Zen Master, this pair of iron arhats is your birthday present to me, so I recognize it naturally. I offended you by being rude just now, Master, please forgive me." She said Yingying Bow down and salute.Wu Se returned the salute with a smile, and even said: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!"

Guo Xiang said: "Master, have you seen my eldest brother and sister Long? I came to the treasure temple because I wanted to see you, and to inquire about their whereabouts. Ah, you don't know, I said elder brother and sister Long Sister, it is Yang Guo and Yang Daxia and his wife."

Wu Se said: "A few years ago, Yang Daxia came to our temple for a few days, and he got along very well with the old monk. Later, he fought against the enemy in Xiangyang, and the old monk was called by him to serve a little. I don't know where he is right now. where?"

Both of them wanted to know about Yang Guo's news, you asked, I asked, but neither of them answered the other's question.

Guo Xiang stayed for a while, then said: "You don't know where my big brother is. But who knows?" She collected herself and said, "You are my big brother's good friend, no wonder you are so good at martial arts. Well, big brother Master, I bring your birthday gift with me. I am very grateful to you and respect you very much. I can see you today, so I thank you face to face." Wu Se smiled and said: "We really don't know each other. You When you see you Brother Yang, don't say that the old monk is bullying the young." Guo Xiang looked at the distant mountain peak and said to himself: "When will we see him?"

On the day of Guo Xiang's 16th birthday, Yang Guo suddenly had a whim, and invited fellows from all corners of the country to gather in Xiangyang to celebrate her birthday.At that time, countless martial arts masters in the white and black ways, most of them were invited to congratulate Yang Guo for the sake of Yang Guo's face. Whether they came to Xiangyang in person or not, they all gave rare gifts.The birthday present that Zen Master Wu Se invited someone to bring was this pair of arhats made of refined iron.The belly of this pair of Iron Arhats is equipped with a mechanism, after tightening the spring, they can dismantle ten Shaolin Arhat Fist moves from each other.It was made by a strange monk in Shaolin Temple more than a hundred years ago with countless painstaking efforts, and it is extremely dexterous and exquisite.Guo Xiang thought it was fun, so she took it with her, unexpectedly fell out of her arms today, and finally recognized her identity for Zen Master Wu Se.The last Shaolin boxing move she used just now was learned from this pair of iron arhats.

Wu Se smiled and said: "Because of the temple regulations passed down from generation to generation in our temple, you can't invite the second girl Guo to the temple to rejoice, please forgive me." Guo Xiang said sadly: "That's nothing, what I want to ask, anyway, I have asked. "Wu Se pointed to Jue Yuan again and said: "As for this junior brother, I will explain to you slowly. Well, the old monk will send you down the mountain respectfully, let's find a restaurant and let the old monk be the host, and eat well What do you think of the last meal?" Zen Master Wuse has a very high status in Shaolin Temple, he respects such a young girl so much, he wants to personally send her down the mountain and treat her grandly, all the monks are secretly amazed after hearing this.

Guo Xiang said: "Master, you don't have to be polite. The little girl didn't know the severity of her actions, and she offended several great monks. I'm really sorry. Don't let it go, there will be a later date." Said and bowed in salute.All the monks returned the gift together.Guo Xiang and Jueyuan said goodbye, then saluted and apologized to the few monks who had touched her, and turned to go downhill.

Wuse smiled and said: "You don't want me to give it, I want to give it too. On the girl's birthday that year, the old monk was ordered by Yang Daxia to burn the forage and gunpowder of the Nanyang Mongolian army, and then went back to the temple. He didn't come to Xiangyang to celebrate her birthday. I'm already uneasy. If I don't respectfully send you another [-] miles when I visit our temple today, is that the way to treat a distinguished guest?" Seeing his sincerity, Guo Xiang liked his bold words, and was willing to form a long-term friendship with him. Jiao, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go!"

The two went downhill side by side, and after passing through a reed pavilion, they could only hear the sound of footsteps behind them. Looking back, they saw Zhang Junbao following far away, but they didn't dare to approach.Guo Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, are you here to see the guests down the mountain too?" Zhang Junbao blushed and replied, "Yes!"

At this moment, I saw a monk in front of the mountain gate running down in big strides, he actually used his lightness kung fu with all his strength, and ran very hastily.Wu Se frowned, and said, "What are you making such a fuss about?" The monk rushed to Wu Se, bowed, and whispered a few words.Wu Se's face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "There is such a thing?" The monk said: "Abbot, please go and discuss."

Guo Xiang saw the perplexed look on Wu Se's face, and knew that there must be something important to do in his temple, so she said, "Old Zen master, friendship is the most important thing to know. What are these common etiquettes? Please go back if you have something to do. We will meet again in the world someday. , let's talk about martial arts again, why not?" Wu Sexi said: "No wonder Yang Daxia values ​​you so much, you are indeed a hero among men, husband among women, the old monk made you a friend." Guo Xiang smiled slightly, Said: "You are my eldest brother's friend, you have been my good friend for a long time." At that moment, the two saluted and said goodbye.Colorless back to the mountain gate.

Guo Xiang went down the mountain along the road, Zhang Junbao was behind her, five or six steps away, he did not dare to walk side by side with her.Guo Xiang asked: "Brother Zhang, what are they doing to bully your master? Your master has superb internal strength, why are you afraid of them?" Zhang Junbao took two steps closer and said: "The monastery is strictly disciplined. To be punished is not to deliberately bully Master."

Guo Xiangqi said: "Your master is an upright gentleman. There has never been such a good person in the world. What would he do? He must have suffered on behalf of others. Otherwise, something went wrong." Zhang Junbao sighed: "This The girl actually knew the whole story, and it wasn't because of the "Langa Sutra." Guo Xiang said, "Ah, is it the scriptures stolen from Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi?" Zhang Junbao said, "Yes. That day at the top of Mount Hua, under the guidance of the great hero Yang Guo, the villain personally searched the two men's bodies. After going down Mount Hua, they were nowhere to be found. My master and apprentice had no choice but to go back to the temple and report to the abbot The "Langa Sutra" is based on the original version of the Bayeux Sutra brought by Bodhidharma Patriarch when he came to the east. The head of the precept hall blamed my master for being careless in guarding it, which resulted in the loss of this priceless treasure. He deserved a heavy punishment."

Guo Xiang sighed, and said: "That's called unlucky, what do you deserve?" She was only a few years older than Zhang Junbao, but she pretended to be a big sister, and asked: "For this reason, you are punishing your master not to speak?" Zhang Junbao said : "This is the precept passed down from generation to generation in the temple. You are not allowed to speak when you carry water in shackles. I heard from the old Zen masters in the temple that although this is punishment, it is actually very beneficial to the person who is punished. If a person does not speak, he will cultivate In order to be easy to improve, carrying water in shackles can also strengthen the body." Guo Xiang smiled and said: "In this way, your master is not punished, but is practicing, but I am troublesome." Zhang Junbao hurriedly said: "Miss Master and I are very grateful for your kindness, and we will never forget it.”

Guo Xiang sighed lightly, and said to herself, "But others have forgotten me completely."

There was only a bray of a donkey in the forest, and the green donkey was grazing in the forest.Guo Xiang said: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to see me off." With a whistle, he called the green donkey to come closer, Zhang Junbao was quite reluctant to leave, but he had nothing to say.

Guo Xiang handed him the pair of iron-cast arhats in her hand, and said, "This is for you." Zhang Junbao was startled, not daring to reach out to pick it up, and said, "This...this..." Guo Xiang Said: "I tell you, you accept it." Zhang Junbao said: "I... I..." Guo Xiang stuffed the iron arhat into his hand, jumped onto the donkey back.

Suddenly a person on the stone steps on the hillside shouted: "Miss Guo Er, please stop." It was Zen Master Wusei who ran out from the gate of the temple again.Guo Xiang thought to herself: "This old monk is too polite, why must he send me off?" Wu Se walked very fast, and arrived in front of Guo Xiang in a short while.He said to Zhang Junbao: "Go back to the temple, don't wander around in the mountains."

Zhang Junbao bowed and agreed, stared at Guo Xiang, and walked up the mountain.

Wu Se waited for him to go away, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said, "Miss Guo Er, do you know who wrote it?"

Guo Xiang got off the back of the donkey, and when he took a look at it, he saw it was a piece of poetry paper. The ink was dripping on the paper, and there were two lines written on it: "The martial arts of the Shaolin School have dominated the Central Plains and the Western Regions for many years. Ten days later, before the three sages of Kunlun Come and learn together." The strokes are straight and vigorous.Guo Xiang asked, "Who are the three sages of Kunlun? The tone of these three people is very tight."

Wu Se said: "It turns out that the girl doesn't know them either." Guo Xiang shook her head and said, "I don't. Even the name 'Three Sages of Kunlun' has never been mentioned by my parents." Wu Se said: "It's so strange Here." Guo Xiang said, "What's so strange?"

Wu Se said: "Girl and I hit it off right away, so I can tell you the truth. Where do you get this piece of paper?" Guo Xiang said, "Was it sent by the three sages of Kunlun?" Wu Se said: "If you send someone to send it, it's not surprising. As the saying goes, the Dao tree attracts the wind. My Shaolin Temple has been known as the authentic martial arts in the world for hundreds of years, so there are always masters coming to the temple to challenge the martial arts. Every time someone from the martial arts comes, we always treat them well. When it comes to martial arts contests, try to decline if you can. We monks pay attention to not being angry or angry, and not to try to win by force. If we fight with people every day, are we still Buddhists?" Guo Xiang nodded and said: "That's true .”

Wu Se said again: "It's just that since the martial arts masters come to the temple, they are always unwilling to accept if they don't show their skills. The Arhat Hall of Shaolin Temple is doing this business of receiving foreign martial arts." Guo Xiang smiled and said: "It turns out The great monk's job is to fight with people." Wu Se smiled wryly and said: "No matter how strong the martial arts are, the disciples in this hall can always handle it, and there is no need for the old monk to fight. Today, I saw that the girl is very skilled, so I came here by myself. Give it a try." Guo Xiang smiled and said, "You really think highly of me."

Wu Se said: "Look where I'm dragging my words. To be honest, this piece of paper was taken from the hands of the statue of Arhat descending the dragon in the Arhat Hall." Guo Xiangqi said: "Who put it in the Arhat?" Like the one in your hand?" Wu Se scratched his head and said: "I just don't know. There are more than a thousand monks in my Shaolin Temple, if someone sneaks into the temple, how can no one see it? This Arhat Hall has eight disciples on duty. It continued day and night. Someone saw this piece of paper just now and reported it to the old abbot. Everyone thought it was strange, so they called me back to the temple to discuss."

When Guo Xiang heard this, she understood what she meant, and said, "You suspect that I have colluded with the three sages of Kunlun. I made trouble outside the temple, and those three guys went to the Arhat hall to put this note. Is that right?"

Wu Se said: "Since I have met the girl, I have no doubts about it. But there is a coincidence, as soon as the girl left the temple, this piece of paper appeared in the Arhat Hall. The abbot and Wuxiang Junior Brother couldn't help but suspect it." On the girl." Guo Xiang said: "I don't recognize these three guys. Monk, what are you afraid of? If they dare to come, you can compete with them." Wu Se said: "Scared, of course not. Since the girl has nothing to do with them, I don't have to worry about it."

Guo Xiang knew that he really had good intentions, and he was afraid that the three sages of Kunlun knew each other personally, so he had many scruples when he did it, fearing that he would offend his good friend, and said: "Great monk, they came here to learn martial arts in a polite manner, that's all. Otherwise, give them a hard time. The tone of this note is very arrogant! What do you mean by 'learn together'? Do these three guys have to 'learn together' for the 72 unique skills of the Shaolin School?"

When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and said: "Maybe someone in the temple colluded with them, and it is not surprising to secretly put such a note." Wu Se said: "We have thought about this matter before, but we are determined No. The fingers of Jianglong Luohan are more than three feet high from the ground. Usually, to sweep away the dust on the Buddha, a high shelf must be erected. It is rare for someone to jump to such a high place. There will be no such good work."

Guo Xiang became curious, and really wanted to see what kind of characters the three sages of Kunlun were. He wanted to see who would win when they competed with the monks of Shaolin Temple, but Shaolin Temple did not accept female visitors. It seemed that this good show could not be witnessed see you.

Seeing that she was thinking sideways, Wu Se only thought that she was planning for Shaolin Temple, and said: "Shaolin Temple has experienced countless turmoil and storms for thousands of years, and it is still there today. If the three sages of Kunlun decide to make trouble with us, Shaolin Temple will always follow them." Play around. Miss Guo, after half a month, you will hear the news in Jianghu, let's see if the three sages of Kunlun can pick Shaolin Temple." Speaking of this, the pride and enthusiasm of the prime of life can not help but be full of excitement.

Guo Xiang laughed and said: "Elder Monk, don't be angry, don't be angry. The way you speak, can you be regarded as a disciple of Buddhism? Well, after half a month, I will wait for a good voice." As he spoke, he turned on the back of a donkey.The two looked at each other and smiled.

Guo Xiang urged the green donkey to go down the mountain, but he made up his mind that he had to watch the commotion.

She thought to herself: "How can I figure out a way to sneak into the Shaolin Temple in ten days and watch this wonderful show?" She also thought: "I'm afraid that the three sages of Kunlun may not be people with any real talents. If the monks are knocked down, there will be no excitement. As long as they are half as capable as grandpa, father, or big brother, this 'Three Sages of Kunlun Raid Shaolin Temple' will be something to watch."

Thinking of Yang Guo, my heart is depressed again.In the past three years, I have searched everywhere, but it has always been deserted. The ancient tomb in Zhongnan Mountain has been closed for a long time, the flowers in Baihua Col have fallen silently, the empty mountains in the Unfeeling Valley are silent, and the cold moon is dark in Fenglingdu.She had already thought about it a thousand times in her heart: "Actually, even if you found him, so what? Didn't it add to lovesickness and troubles? The reason why he quietly seduced him was not for my own good? But knowing that It’s a dream come true, but I can’t not think about it, I have to look for it.”

Let the green donkey walk, wandering in Shaoshi Mountain, all the way to the west, you have entered the territory of Songshan Mountain, and you can look back at Shaoshi East Peak, which is so green and majestic.After swimming like this for several days, on this day I came to the platform of three rests, and said in my heart: "Three rests, three rests! But I don't know which three rests? Life is a thousand rests, and there is more than three rests?"

Turning to the north, after crossing a ridge, I saw more than three hundred cypresses, all of which are straight and beautiful. Beside the root tree of the Lingxiao vine, it is the top of the cypress, which is as bright as the clouds.Guo Xiang was watching by herself, when she suddenly heard the faint sound of a qin coming from behind the mountain depression, she was surprised: "In this remote place, there is actually an expert playing the qin here." Yes, although she has only superficial knowledge, but she is intelligent by nature and loves to be imaginative, so she often has unique opinions when discussing piano and books with her mother, and Huang Rong is also very happy to discuss with her.At this time, when I heard the sound of the piano, I became curious, let go of the green donkey, and followed the sound to find it.

After walking for more than ten feet, I could only hear countless birdsong mixed with the sound of the qin. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when I listened carefully, the sound of the qin seemed to respond to the birds' language, intermittently turning off and turning.Guo Xiang hid herself behind the flowers and trees, and looked towards the place where the sound of the qin came from, and saw a man in white sitting with his back under three big pine trees, with a burnt-tailed qin on his lap, playing by himself.The trees around him are full of birds, including orioles, cuckoos, magpies, starlings, and many others whose names are unknown. They ask and answer with the sound of the piano, or sing in unison.Guo Xiang thought to herself: "Mom said that there is a song "Birds in the Empty Mountains" among the qin tunes, which has been lost for a long time. Could it be this song?"

After listening for a while, the sound of the zither gradually became louder, but the more it reached the sound, the more mellow it became. Resting on the top of the tree, or flying up and down, the feathers are colorful, which is a spectacle.The sound of the zither was peaceful and upright, with the hint of a king.

Guo Xiang was surprised: "This person can gather birds with the sound of the zither, so could it be that this song is "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix"?" She thought to herself that it's a pity that grandpa is not here, otherwise it would be a real harmony with his unparalleled jade flute. It can be called the double uniqueness of the world.

After the man played the piano, the sound of the piano gradually faded, and the resting birds on the tree circled and danced together.Suddenly there was a bang, the sound of the piano stopped, and the birds flew for a while, and then slowly dispersed.

The man casually played a few short notes on the strings, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Smooth the long sword, raise your eyebrows, how can the clear water and white stones be separated? In the world, there are no friends. If you live for thousands of years, what's the benefit?" At this point, he suddenly pulled out a long sword from the bottom of the piano, and saw a blue light shining in the forest.Guo Xiang thought to herself: "It turns out that this man is all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. I don't know how good his sword skills are?"

He walked slowly to an open space in front of the ancient pine, touched the ground with the tip of his sword, and drew one stroke after another, one stroke after another.Guo Xiang was amazed: "How can there be such a strange sword technique in the world? Could it be possible to defeat the enemy by slashing the tip of the sword in the ground? The strangeness of this person is really hard to fathom."

Counting the sword moves silently, I saw that he made nineteen horizontal strokes, followed by vertical strokes, a total of nineteen strokes.The sword moves are always the same, no matter vertical or horizontal, they are all straight.Following his sword posture, Guo Xiang stretched out his hand and slashed on the ground, and then almost laughed, what kind of weird sword technique he used, but it turned out that the tip of the sword was used to draw a chessboard with [-] vertical and [-] horizontal lines on the ground.

After drawing the chessboard, the man circled the upper left and lower right corners with the point of his sword, and then drew a cross in the upper right and lower left corners.Guo Xiang already saw that what he was drawing was a Go board, she also thought that he was laying out stones at the four corners, the circles were white pieces, and the crosses were black pieces.Then I saw him circle the upper right corner three squares away from Shizi, and crossed two squares below the circle. When he got down to No. 20, he leaned on the ground with his sword and bowed his head in meditation. It is never decided whether to abandon the child to gain power, or to strive for the edge.

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "This person is as lonely as I am. He plays the piano in the empty mountains, and uses birds as his bosom friends. He has no opponent in chess, so he has to play against himself."

The man thought for a while, Baizi refused to give up, started a fierce fight with Heizi in the upper right corner, all of a sudden there were different ideas, from north to south, they gradually reached the hinterland of the Central Plains.Guo Xiang was fascinated, and gradually approached, and saw that Bai lost a move in the layout, and was always at a disadvantage. On the No.90 three moves, he encountered a series of calamities, and Bai's power was already in danger, but he still tried his best to support it.As the saying goes: "The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear." Although Guo Xiang's chess skills are mediocre, he also saw that if the white chess does not abandon the chess, it will inevitably be wiped out in the middle, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Why don't you abandon the Central Plains and take the Western Regions ?”

The man froze, he saw that there was still a large open space on the west side of the chessboard, if he took advantage of the robbery to play two pieces in a row to occupy the key point, even if he lost the robbery and abandoned the middle, he could still try to win an undefeated draw.The man was reminded by Guo Xiang, he looked up to the sky with a long smile, and said: "Okay, okay!" After counting, he suddenly remembered that there was someone nearby, he threw the long sword down, turned around and said: "That expert pointed out I am very grateful." He said and bowed to Guo Xiang's hiding place.

Guo Xiang saw that this man had a long face, deep eyes, thin bones, and was about 30 years old.She has always been careless, and ignored the suspicion of men and women. She walked out from the flowers and said with a smile: "Just now, I heard the master's elegant music, the birds singing in the empty mountains, and the birds came to court. I really admire it. I also saw that the master painted the ground as a scene. The confrontation between black and white is fascinating, and I get carried away for a while, I can't help talking, I hope you will forgive me."

The man saw that Guo Xiang was a young girl, he was very surprised, but when she heard the qin rhyme, she was not bad at all, he was very happy, and said: "Young lady has a deep understanding of qin theory, if you don't give up, I would like to hear the clear tone."

Guo Xiang smiled and said: "Although my mother taught me to play the piano, it is far behind your superb skills. But since I have heard your wonderful songs, it would be a bit unreasonable not to answer one. All right, I'll play as soon as I play, you mustn't make fun of it!" The man said: "How dare you?" Holding up the Yaoqin with both hands, he brought it to Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang saw that the qin had beautiful ancient patterns, obviously it was a long time ago, so she tuned the strings of the qin and started to play, playing "Kao Pan".Her technique was not surprising, but the man was rather pleasantly surprised. Following the sound of the piano, he meditated on the words: "The exam is in the stream, and the width of a man is so wide. If you sleep alone and speak, you will never give up." "The Book of Songs" is a hermit's song. It says that a man wanders among the mountains and comes alone. Although he is lonely and has no partner and looks haggard, his ambition is noble and will never change.The man could not help but feel very grateful when he heard the sound of the qin playing in his own mind. After the qin music was over, he was still standing there in a daze.

Guo Xiang gently put down the Yaoqin, turned around and walked out of the pine valley, and sang loudly: "The examination plate is on the land, the axis of a great man, I sleep alone, and I will never tell you." He recruited a green donkey to ride on, and went to the deep mountain forest Go to a secret place.

Guo Xiang wandered in the world for three years, and experienced many strange things, the man's melody of the qin and birds, and his playing with the ground, to her, it was just a fleeting moment, and the wind and ducks gathered and scattered, and there was no trace in her heart.

A few days later, Qu Zhi counted it as the tenth day of her troubles in Shaolin Temple, and it was the day when the Three Saints of Kunlun agreed to compete with Shaolin monks in martial arts.Guo Xiang couldn't figure out how to sneak into the temple to watch the excitement, she thought to herself: "Mom turned her eyes around something, and thought of seventeen or eight clever plans. I'm so stupid, I can't even think of a single plan. Okay, no matter what How about going outside the temple to have a look first, maybe they were in a hurry to deal with foreign enemies and forgot to stop me from entering the temple."

After eating some dry food indiscriminately, he rode a green donkey and headed towards the Shaolin Temple. About ten miles away from the temple, he heard the sound of horseshoes, and three horses came riding in succession on the mountain road on the left.The three horses walked swiftly, passed by Guo Xiang's side in a blink of an eye, and went straight to Shaolin Temple.Immediately, the three of them were all elderly men in their fifties, wearing short green cloth jackets, and cloth bags for weapons were hung on the saddles.

Guo Xiang had a thought: "These three people have martial arts, and today they brought weapons to Shaolin Temple, they are probably the three sages of Kunlun. If I'm a step late, I'm afraid I won't see a good show." He stretched out his hand on the green donkey's buttocks. Clap, the green donkey raised its head and let out a neigh, ran quickly, and chased after the three riders.

Immediately the passengers swung their whips to urge the horses, and the three horses galloped up the mountain, their feet were very strong, they threw Guo Xiang's green donkey far away in an instant, and they couldn't catch up anymore.An old man looked back with a slight surprise on his face.

Guo Xiang drove the donkey for another two or three miles, but the three riders were nowhere to be seen. The green donkey ran fast, but it was already breathing heavily and couldn't hold on.Guo Xiang scolded: "A useless beast, usually loves to lose its temper and lose its strength. When the girl really wants to use you, she can't catch up with him." Seeing that it was useless to urge you, she simply rested in a stone pavilion beside the road. After a while, let the green donkey drink from the stream beside the pavilion.After a while, the sound of horseshoes was heard suddenly, and the three riders turned around the valley and came back.Guo Xiang was amazed: "Why did these three people turn back as soon as they went up, could it be that they are so vulnerable?"

The three horses raised their manes and hooves, and rushed straight into the stone pavilion, and the three passengers got off their horses.When Guo Xiang looked at the three people, he saw a short old man with a face like cinnabar, a nose as red as wine lees, and a gentle and amiable smile; an old man with a stature like a bamboo pole, his face was ashen, and there was a faint greenness in his pallor , It seems that the sun is out of sight all year round, the two people's personalities, descriptions and appearances are all completely opposite.The third old man has an ordinary appearance, only his face is sallow and slightly sick.

Guo Xiang became curious, and asked: "Three old gentlemen, have you arrived at Shaolin Temple? Why did you come back after going up?" The blue-faced old man gave her a sideways glance, as if blaming her for talking nonsense.The red-faced dwarf with rosaceous nose smiled and said: "Miss, how do you know that we are going to Shaolin Temple?" Guo Xiang said: "From now on, where will we go if we don't reach Shaolin Temple?" The red-faced old man nodded and said: "That's not bad. The girl Where are you going?" Guo Xiang said: "If you go to Shaolin Temple, I will naturally go to Shaolin Temple." The blue-faced old man said: "Shaolin Temple never allows women to step into the mountain gate, and outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons into the temple." His tone was arrogant.He was very tall, his eyes looked over Guo Xiang's head, and he didn't even glance at her.

Guo Xiang was annoyed, and said: "Why are you carrying weapons? Isn't the cloth pouch next to the saddle a weapon?" The blue-faced old man said coldly, "How can you compare with us?" Guo Xiang sneered and said, "So what about the three of you? Why are you so arrogant? Hey, have you three sages of Kunlun fought against the old monks of Shaolin Temple? Who wins and who loses?"

The faces of the three old men changed slightly.The red-faced old man asked: "Little girl, how do you know about the Three Sages of Kunlun?" Guo Xiang said: "Of course I know." The blue-faced old man took a step suddenly and said sharply: "What is your last name? What are you doing here at Shaolin Temple?" Guo Xiang raised her pretty face and said, "Can you control it?"

The blue-faced old man was irritable, raised his palm, and wanted to slap her, but then he thought it was disgraceful to bully the young, and bully the young, how could he be as knowledgeable as the girl's family with his status?With a slight sway in his figure, he reached out and took off the dagger hanging from Guo Xiang's waist.The speed of this attack is indescribable, but Guo Xiang felt the cool breeze blowing, and the figure flickered, so he snatched the saber away.

She was caught off guard, and suddenly fell into other people's tricks, which was something she had never done since she was in the rivers and lakes.In fact, based on her martial arts experience, it is not enough to break through the rivers and lakes, but nine out of ten people in the martial arts know that she is the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Xiao, even if it doesn't hurt Guo Jing and Huang Rong's face, she doesn't want to offend Yang Guo.Although everyone has heard her name, they may not know her, but she is beautiful, generous and hospitable, even if she is a chariot seller in the market, a dog slaughterer and a seller, she treats them equally, and often buys wine to treat her. They share a drink.Therefore, despite the perilous turmoil in the rivers and lakes, she has never suffered a big loss.At this moment, the blue-faced old man suddenly snatched her sword, which made her at a loss for a while, if she stepped forward to snatch her sword, she thought that her martial arts were far inferior, but if she gave up like this, how could she be willing?

The blue-faced old man held the scabbard of the dagger between the middle finger and index finger of his left hand, and said coldly: "I have withheld your sword for the time being. If you dare to be so rude to me, it is because your parents and teachers have lost discipline. You If you want them to come and get the sword from me, I will have a good talk with them and teach your parents and teachers to be more careful."

These words made Guo Xiang flushed with anger. Listening to this person, she regarded her as an urchin without a tutor, thinking: "Wow! You scolded me, my grandfather and parents, you Do you really have the ability to reach the sky, so that you are not afraid of the sky and the earth?" She gathered herself together, suppressed her anger, and said: "What's your name?"

The blue-faced old man snorted and said, "What is 'what's your name'? I'll teach you, you should ask: 'Don't dare to ask the old man's name?'"

Guo Xiang said angrily: "I want to ask what your name is. If you don't tell me, don't tell me, who cares? What is this sword worth? You are disrespectful, and I don't want to steal from others. It's gone." Then he turned around and was about to walk out of the stone pavilion.

Suddenly, a red shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and the red-faced dwarf stood in front of her, smiling Mimi said: "The girl's temper must not be so big, and she will be a daughter-in-law at her in-law's house in the future, don't tell me you have to be petty?" Okay? Well, let me tell you, we are three brothers and sisters, and we just came to the Central Plains from the Western Regions after traveling thousands of miles in the past few days..."

Guo Xiang pursed her lips, and said, "I'll know if you don't tell me, we in the Central Plains of Shenzhou don't have the brand names of your three."

The three old men looked at each other.The red-faced old man said: "Excuse me, girl, who is the respected master?" Guo Xiang refused to say the names of his parents in Shaolin Temple, at this moment he was really annoyed, and said: "My father's surname is Guo, and the only name is 'Jing'. .My mother’s surname is Huang, and the single name has the word ‘Rong’. I don’t have a master, but my parents taught me some random things.”

The three old men looked at each other again.The blue-faced old man murmured, "Guo Jing? Huang Rong? Which sect are they from? Whose disciples are they?"

Guo Xiang's anger is really serious, she thought to herself that my parents are famous all over the world, not to mention people in martial arts, even ordinary people, how many Guo heroes are there who don't know how to guard Xiangyang?But looking at the expressions of the three old men, they didn't seem to pretend to be ignorant.As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly realized: "The three sages of Kunlun are far away from the Western Regions, and they have never been in the middle land. With such high martial arts, their parents have never mentioned their names, so they really don't know their parents, and they don't know who they are." It's not surprising. They must live in seclusion deep in the Kunlun Mountains, practice martial arts diligently, and never pay attention to foreign affairs." Thinking of this, she immediately felt relieved, and her anger disappeared. , Said: "My surname is Guo and my name is Xiang, which is the word 'Xiang' in Xiangyang City. Well, I have told you. May I ask the names of the three old gentlemen?"

The red-faced old man smiled and said: "Yes, the little girl is very good, and she can learn it as soon as she is taught. This is the principle of respecting the elders." Pointing to the yellow-faced old man, he said: "This is our big brother, his surname is Pan. , my name is Tiangeng. I am the second senior brother, my surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Tianlao." Fingering the blue-faced old man, he said: "This is the third junior brother, surnamed Wei, and named Tianwang. We have three senior brothers, all of whom are in the ranks. A word 'day'."

Guo Xiang said "Yes", memorized it silently, and asked, "Are you going to go to Shaolin Temple? Have you ever competed with those monks in martial arts? But whose martial arts is stronger?"

The blue-faced old man Wei Tianwang let out a "huh" and said sharply: "Why do you know everything? We are going to compete with Shaolin monks in martial arts. Few people in the world know. How did you know? Tell me, tell me!" Pushing towards Guo Xiang, he clenched his fist with his right hand and glared at her viciously.

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "How can I be intimidated by you? It doesn't matter if I tell you, but the more evil you are, the more I won't tell." She also stared at him, and said coldly: "Your name is not good. , why not change it to 'Heavenly Evil'?" Wei Tianwang said angrily, "What?" Guo Xiang said, "It's really rare for such a vicious person like you to steal my things and be so tyrannical. Is the evil star descending from the heavens?" Wei Tianwang groaned a few times, making a sound like a beast, his chest suddenly doubled in size, and it seemed that his hair and eyebrows were standing on end.

Guo Xiang saw Wei Tianwang's situation, if he made a sudden move, it would be unstoppable, so she couldn't help feeling afraid.

The red-faced old man Fang Tianlao hurriedly called out: "Third Brother, don't get angry!" He pulled Guo Xiang's arm back and pulled her back a few feet, and he was already separated between the two.

Wei Tianwang drew the sword out of its sheath with his right hand, and clamped the blade flatly with two fingers of his left hand, the knuckles were pierced with force, and with a click, the blade snapped in two, and then put the half-cut sword back into the scabbard, saying: "Who wants Your useless dagger?"

Guo Xiang was even more astonished to see how powerful his fingers were.

Seeing her change of color, Wei Tian was very proud, raised his head and laughed loudly, the ear-piercing laughter made the tiles on the stone pavilion rattle.

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound, the roof of the stone pavilion broke and a large piece fell down.Everyone was taken aback, even Wei Tianwang was also surprised.He exerted enough internal energy and let out a laugh that could shake the roof tiles. In fact, there was no joy in this laughter, it was just a matter of exerting energy and shouting "haha, haha" a few times, it was able to shake the roof , can't help but be amazed and surprised, I didn't expect that my internal strength has improved so much recently without knowing it.When I looked at the things that fell, I was even more surprised. I saw a man in white, holding a Yaoqin in his hands, lying on the ground, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Guo Xiangxi said: "Hey, you are here!"

This person is exactly the man who played the piano and played the piano that she met in the mountain a few days ago.

When the man heard Guo Xiang's words, he jumped up and said, "Girl, I have been looking for you everywhere, but I met you here again." Guo Xiang said, "Why are you looking for me?" Your surname." Guo Xiang said: "What's your surname? I don't like to listen to sour prose." The man was stunned, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right! The more you talk about empty words and put on airs, the less real you are. In fact, it would be the best thing for this kind of person to deceive the old man from the countryside." After speaking, he stared at Wei Tianwang and sneered.Guo Xiang was overjoyed, she never expected that this person would be so knowledgeable and help her like this.

Wei Tianwang stared at him, his livid face turned even greener, and he said coldly, "Who is your honor?"

The man ignored him, and said to Guo Xiang: "Girl, what's your name?" Guo Xiang said, "My surname is Guo, and my name is Xiang." The man applauded and said, "Ah, if you really have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, It turned out to be Miss Guo, who is famous all over the world. Her father, Guo Jing, Guo Daxia, and her father, Huang Rong, Huang Xia. Except for the ignorant and those who don't know what is good or bad, no one in the world knows, who doesn't know? Both of them are both civil and military, with swords, guns and swords Halberd, fist and palm qigong, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems and songs, all of them surpassed the past and the present, and were unsurpassed at that time. Haha, there are a bunch of fools, and you don't know his two famous names."

Guo Xiang was delighted: "So you hid on the top of the stone pavilion and heard the conversation between me and these three people. It seems that you don't know what kind of people my parents are. I'm a second class, but you call me Miss Guo, He also said that my father is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, which is really a joke." He smiled and asked, "Then what's your name?"

The man said: "My surname is He, and my name is 'Zhu Dao'." Guo Xiang laughed and said, "He Zudao! Why is it? This name is very modest." He Zudao said: "Compared to the sky and the earth, he is not ashamed to speak so much. , Self-important kid, the mere name is not easy to be disgusting."

He Zudao kept sneering at Wei Tianwang and the other three.When the three saw him breaking through the roof of the pavilion, they looked unusual, and they were patient at first, wanting to see what the origin of this strange man in white was.But hearing his words becoming more and more harsh, Wei Tianwang couldn't hold back any longer, he slapped him on the left cheek with his backhand.

He Zudao lowered his head and slipped under his arm.Wei Tianwang only felt a slight numbness on his left wrist, the dagger he held in his hand had been snatched away by him.When Wei Tianwang snatched Guo Xiang's dagger, his movements were so fast that people couldn't see clearly. At that time, Guo Xiang was caught by surprise and had no precautions, but He Zudao just slipped by and took the dagger casually. However, body gestures are nothing special.

Wei Tianwang was startled, he rushed up, stretched out his finger like a hook, and grabbed his shoulder.He Zudao slanted his body to dodge slightly, and the grab brushed past him.Pan Tiangeng and Fang Tianlao suddenly jumped out of the pavilion.Wei Tian looked at his left fist and right palm, and with the whistling of the wind, he made seven or eight moves in an instant.He Zudao dodged left and right, but he didn't even bring the corner of his clothes.Holding the dagger in his hand, he never tried to fight the enemy's stormy punches, he only turned slightly, and Wei Tianwang's punches fell through the air.

Guo Xiang is limited by her age, although she is not very good at martial arts, she is very knowledgeable, because many of her relatives and friends are the world's first-rate martial arts masters, seeing He Zudao lift weights lightly, and use extremely ingenious movements to dodge extremely fierce enemies Tricks, this kind of martial arts and body style is another family, and it is different from the famous martial arts of various schools and schools in China, so I can't help but look more and more strange.

Wei Tianwang fired more than [-] moves in a row, but he couldn't force the opponent to make a move, he suddenly let out a low cry, his punching method suddenly changed, his moves were slow, but the punching force was dignified and strong.Standing in the pavilion, Guo Xiang gradually felt the pressure of the fist wind on her body, and retreated to the outside of the pavilion step by step.

At this time, He Zudao didn't dare to just dodge and not fight back, he inserted the dagger into his belt, stood firmly with both feet, and shouted: "You know hard work, so I can't?" Waiting for Wei Tianwang to push with both palms When he arrived, he counterattacked with his left hand, using hard kung fu against hard kung fu, with a bang, Wei Tianwang swayed and took two steps back.He Zudao stood still.

Wei Tianwang believed that there were few opponents in the world with hard skills from outside sects, but he didn't know that the opponent counterattacked head-on, and did not take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation, and actually knocked himself back with hard skills.Unconvinced, he took a breath, shouted loudly, and struck out with both palms again.He Zudao also yelled fiercely, and counterattacked with a palm, the crackling sound passed away, only shaking the mud and sand in the hole on the roof of the pavilion.

Wei Tianwang took four steps back before he started to stand still.After facing these two palms, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were protruding, he hugged his dantian with both hands, he took a few breaths, his chest was sunken, his belly was distended like a drum, his joints were rattling, and he slowly moved towards He Zudao step by step. Come slowly.Seeing his momentum, He Zudao didn't dare to be negligent, he adjusted his true energy and waited for the enemy's momentum.

Wei Tianwang walked four or five feet away from the enemy. He was supposed to make a move, but he still didn't stop, and took two steps forward until the two stood facing each other, almost breathing, and then he moved his palms together. He raised his palm, hit the enemy's face with one palm, and pressed the other palm against the opponent's lower abdomen.This time he struck with both palms in a wrong way, trying to disperse the opponent's strength.The momentum and palm strength are extremely fierce.

He Zudao also stretched out both palms, crossing his left palm to meet his left palm, and his right palm to meet his right palm, but there is one strong and one soft in the palm force.Wei Tianwang only felt that the palm that hit the opponent's lower abdomen seemed to hit an empty space, but the right palm that hit his face seemed to have hit a copper wall, just as he felt something was wrong, he was suddenly hit by a huge force, sending him straight Outside the stone pavilion.

This blow was still head-to-head with force against force, the weaker would be injured, there was no room for maneuver, no matter if Wei Tianwang stood still with the stake, or fell down, his own palm force would come back, what's more His palm strength must have forced him to squirt blood.Pan Tiangeng and Fang Tianlao shouted in unison: "Shoot!" They jumped up at the same time, grabbed Wei Tianwang's arms and lifted them up quickly, only then did He Zudao's forceful palms disappear.Although Wei Tianwang was not injured, his five internal organs were twitching, and his bones seemed to be shattered.The red-faced dwarf Fang Tianlao saw his younger brother suffer so much, secretly startled and furious, he said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency's palm strength is rare in the world, I admire, admire."

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "When it comes to the force of the palms, who can compare to Dad's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? You three sages of Kunlun are in a remote barren hill, watching the sky from the bottom of a well, Yelang is arrogant, one day I will teach you what to see and see." People from Middle Earth." When she thought of this, her heart suddenly felt sore, it turned out that the person from Middle Earth she wanted Fang Tianlao and others to see was not her father, but Yang Guo.

Fang Tianlao said again: "I am not talented, I want to learn your sword skills." He Zu said: "Brother Fang is very polite to Miss Guo, I don't blame you, we don't need to compare."

Guo Xiang was taken aback: "You gave that Wei a hard time because he was rude to me?"

Fang Tianlao walked to the side of his mount, took out a long sword from the cloth pouch, drew the sword out of its sheath with a swipe, stretched out his finger and flicked on the sword, the buzzing sound lasted for a long time.With a sword in his hand, his smile suddenly faded, he squeezed a sword formula with his left hand, and pushed it out flat, with his fingers raised upwards, and the sword in his right hand was facing the sky without moving.

He Zudao said: "Since Brother Fang is going to do something, I'll use Miss Guo's dagger to try a few tricks with you." As he spoke, he drew out half of the dagger.The short sword was only about one foot long, after Wei Tianwang cut it off with his finger, only seven or eight inches of the blade remained, and it had a flat head and no edge, not even a dagger.Still holding the scabbard in his left hand, he raised the half-broken sword in his right hand and rushed to attack suddenly.

This move was extremely fast, a white shadow flickered in front of Fang Tianlao's eyes, He Zudao had already attacked three times in a row, although the broken sword was too short to hurt him, Fang Tianlao was secretly startled: "These three moves are well done. Hurry up, it's really difficult to parry, what kind of sword technique is that? If he is holding a long sword in his hand, I'm afraid my blood will be splashed on the spot right now."

After He Zudao's three moves, he fled to the side and stood still.Fang Tianlao unfolded his swordsmanship, half defending and half attacking, and rushed forward.He Zudao dodged to dodge, but instead of fighting back, he suddenly attacked three times, forcing Fang Tianlao to be in a hurry, but he had already jumped away.Fang Tianlao's sword made the general come forward, the white light was shining, and the strike was very quick.

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "This old man's moves are fierce and fierce, the same way as that surnamed Wei's palm technique, but with three points of agility, but more powerful..." Just thinking of this, Suddenly he heard He Zu shouting: "Be careful!" Just as he blurted out the word "A", the scabbard with his left hand quickly surpassed the lightning, and with a soft puff sound, Fang Tianlao's long sword was covered with the scabbard. He raised his head, followed by the broken sword in his right hand, pointing directly at his throat.

Fang Tianlao couldn't free his long sword, he couldn't turn back the sword to parry, he watched the broken sword approaching his throat, had no choice but to let go of the long sword and roll away on the spot, only to avoid this move.Before he jumped up, the figure flickered, and Pan Tiangeng had jumped over, grabbed the hilt of the long sword, shook it and pulled it out of the scabbard.He Zudao and Guo Xiang shouted at the same time: "Good posture!" This old man with a sick face has never said a word, and his martial arts is actually the best among the three.

He Zudao said: "Your Excellency's great skill, I admire you very much." Turning back to Guo Xiang, he said: "Miss Guo, since I have to listen to the girl's elegant performance a few days ago, I have composed a set of pieces, and I would like you to comment on it." Guo Xiang said: " What tune?" He Zudao sat down cross-legged, put the Yaoqin on his knees, trimmed the strings and tuned the rhyme, and started to play the piano.

Pan Tiangeng said: "Your Excellency defeated two of my juniors in a row, and the one surnamed Pan still wants to ask for advice."

He Zudao shook his hands and said, "I've tried the martial arts competition, and there is no aftertaste. I want to play the piano for Miss Guo. This is a new song. You three like to listen, so please sit down. If you don't understand, please feel free." The left hand twisted the string according to the rhythm, and the right hand played it.

Guo Xiang only listened to a few verses, she couldn't help being both surprised and happy.It turns out that part of this piano piece is "Kaopan" that he played, and the other part is the poem "Jianjia" by Qin Fengzhong. The two tunes are completely different, and he mixed them together in an ingenious way. One answer and one answer, saying It's wonderful and beautiful, but listening to the rhyme of the piano, it says: "The examination board is in the stream, and the width of a man is wide. The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water... The width of a man is as wide as a man. The breadth of man··············································································· "..." Guo Xiang's heart suddenly moved: "The 'Yi Ren' he said in the piano, could it be me? Why is this piano rhyme so lingering, full of yearning?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blushed slightly.But this qin piece is really ingeniously composed, the original rhyme of the two pieces "Kaopan" and "Jianjia" is not lost at all, and the responses to each other are uneven, but they are greatly rich and beautiful.She had never heard such music in her life.

Pan Tiangeng and the other three didn't understand at all.They didn't know what to say, they were crazy, and they were quite bookish. After composing a new song, they rushed over to ask Guo Xiang to listen to it. What's more, the song was indeed composed for her, and immediately forgot everything else. back.But seeing him concentrating on playing the piano, he didn't pay attention to the three of himself, obviously he despised him very much, is it tolerable or unbearable?Pan Tiangeng pointed his long sword at He Zudao's left shoulder, and shouted: "Stand up quickly, I'll make gestures with you!"

He Zudao immerses himself in the melody of the piano, seems to see a wild man wandering in the mountains, and sees a gentle girl standing on a small island in the water from a distance, so he ignores the obstacles of the mountains and waters, and just keeps going. see her in the past...
Suddenly there was a pain in his left shoulder, he was startled and raised his head to see Pan Tiangeng's long sword pointing at his shoulder, piercing a little bit of skin, if he didn't fight back, he might stab someone with his sword. But before the qin melody was finished, ordinary people were harassing each other, it was really distasteful, at that moment, his left hand drew out a half-trunk sword, and with a bang, he separated Pan Tiangeng's long sword, while his right hand continued to play the qin.

At this moment, He Zudao finally showed his unique skills. He played the qin with his right hand and wielded the sword with his left. He couldn't press the string, so he gathered energy and blew it down on the fifth string. , playing with the right hand, the sound of the piano is high and low, and everything is smooth and smooth.

Pan Tiangeng rushed to attack with several tricks, He Zudao responded smoothly, staring at the strings with his eyes, fearing that the part of the blow in one breath would not match and the rhythm of the piano would be messed up.Pan Tiangeng became angrier, and his sword moves became more and more urgent, but no matter where the long sword stabbed, he always blocked it lightly.

Guo Xiang listened to the sound of the zither, the music flowed in her heart, she didn't care about Pan Tiangeng's sharp sword attack, only the sound of the two swords intersecting disturbed the sound of the zither.She slapped her hands lightly, beat the beat, frowned and said to Pan Tiangeng: "The speed of your sword strikes is completely different, don't you understand the rhythm at all? Well, you listen to the beat and strike the sword, and you will be caught in the sound of the piano." Not bad."

How does Pan Tiangeng treat her?Seeing the enemy sitting on the ground, only holding a half-cut sword in one hand, staring at the strings of the zither, but I can't do anything to him, and I am even more anxious. Suddenly, the sword technique changes, a round of fast attack, and the sound of weapons clashing immediately It is like dense rain.This stringy and urgent sound is not in harmony with the gentle and lingering qin rhyme.

He Zudao raised his eyebrows and passed the broken sword vigorously. With a clang sound, the long sword in Pan Tiangeng's hand broke in two, but at this moment, the fifth string on the lyre also snapped.

Pan Tiangeng's face was ashen, without saying a word, he turned and left the pavilion.The three of them got on their horses and galloped up the mountain.

Guo Xiang was very surprised, and said: "Hey, these three people lost the battle, why did they still go to Shaolin Temple? Are they really going to fight to the end?" Looking back, he saw He Zudao with a frustrated face, stroking the Yaoqin, as if to say Can't help feeling uncomfortable.

Guo Xiang thought to herself: "If a string is broken, what is it?" He took the Yaoqin, untied the half-broken string, lengthened the string, and retuned around the column.He Zudao shook his head and sighed, and said: "It's in vain that I have practiced for many years, but I can't calm down after all. I broke his weapon with my left hand, but my right hand also broke the strings of the piano."

Only then did Guo Xiang understand that he was frustrated that his martial arts were not perfect, and said with a smile: "You want to attack the enemy fiercely with your left hand and play the piano with your right hand. This is a method of distraction and dual use. In today's world, only three people can do it. You haven't practiced this There is no need to be sad." He Zudao asked: "Who are those three?" Guo Xiang said: "The first is old urchin Zhou Botong, the second is my father, and the third is Mrs. Yang Xiaolongnv. Apart from the three of them, even my grandfather Taohua Island Master, my mother, and the Condor Hero Yang Guo, etc., no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't do it." He Zudao said: "There is such a strange person in the world, when will you give it to me? Introduction, introduction."

Guo Xiang sadly said: "It's not difficult to see my father, the other two, I don't know where to find them." Seeing that He Zudao was in a daze, she kept thinking about the matter of breaking the string just now, and comforted him: "You defeated him in one fell swoop. The three sages of Kunlun are enough to look down on the world, why should they be unhappy over the trivial matter of breaking the strings?"

He Zudao was startled and asked, "Three Sages of Kunlun? What did you say? How do you know?"

Guo Xiang smiled and said: "Those three old men are from the Western Regions, so they are the three sages of Kunlun. Their martial arts are unique, but they are too presumptuous to challenge Shaolin Temple..." He Zudao's expression of astonishment became more and more intense, and he couldn't help asking: "What's so strange?"

He Zudao murmured: "Three Sages of Kunlun, He Zudao, Three Sages of Kunlun, that's me."

Guo Xiang was taken aback, and said, "You are the Three Sages of Kunlun? What about the other two?"

He Zudao said: "There is only one of the three sages of Kunlun, there have never been three. I made a little name in the Western Regions, and my local friends said that I am a master of piano, sword and chess. , Chess Saint. Because I lived in Kunlun Mountains for many years, I was given a nickname, "Three Saints of Kunlun". But I think this word "Saint" is not easily called? Although others give me shame I can't pretend to be unsuspecting when posting gold, so I changed my name and called it 'Zhu Dao'. Together, it means 'He Zudao, the Three Saints of Kunlun'. People will not say that I am arrogant and conceited. big."

Guo Xiang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "So that's the case. I only think that since they are the Three Sages of Kunlun, there must be three people. Then what about the three old men just now?" He Zu said, "Are they? They are from the Shaolin sect."

Guo Xiang was even more surprised, and said: "It turns out that these three old men are Shaolin disciples. Well, their martial arts are indeed fierce. Yes, yes, that red-faced old man did not use the Bodhidharma sword technique? That's right, that yellow The sick man's last attack was not the Wei Tuo Demon Sword? But he added a lot of changes, and I didn't see it for a while. Why did they come from the Western Regions again?"

He Zudao said: "There is a reason for this. Last spring, I was playing the piano on the top of Jingshen Peak in Kunlun Mountains. Suddenly I heard the sound of beatings outside the hut. When I went out to see, I saw two people wrestling together. Each was mortally wounded, but they fought hard. I told them to stop, but neither of them would give up, so I dismantled them. One of them rolled his eyes and died immediately, but the other was still alive. I rescued him back to the house, gave him a Shaoyang pill, and treated him for a long time. Finally, he was too injured and the pill could not last. When he was dying, he said his name was Yin Kexi... ·”

Guo Xiang said "ah", and said: "The one who fought with him is Xiaoxiangzi? That man is tall and thin, and his face looks like a zombie, isn't he?" He Zudao said: "Yes, what are you doing Do you know?" Guo Xiang said: "I've seen them too, I never imagined that this pair of living treasures would fight each other to death in the end."

He Zudao said: "Yin Kexi said that he had done many evils in his life, and when he was dying, it was too late to repent. He said that he and Xiaoxiangzi stole a scripture from Shaolin Temple. Let the other party read it first, for fear that the other party will get rid of himself after learning martial arts, and monopolize this scripture. The two eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed, and they are really inseparable. The other party plotted against each other, fearful, restless, and afraid of being pursued by the monks of Shaolin Temple, so they fled far away to the Western Regions. When they reached Jingshen Peak, the two of them were exhausted, knowing that going on like this would eventually lead to exhaustion, and finally struck Get up. Yin Kexi said that Xiaoxiangzi's martial arts was originally superior to his, but even though Xiaoxiangzi slapped him first, he had the upper hand in the end. It was only later that he remembered that Xiaoxiangzi had been seriously injured in Huashan. The vitality has never returned. Otherwise, if the two of them hadn't had their own taboos, they wouldn't have been able to reach Kunlun Mountain."

After hearing these words, Guo Xiang imagined the scene of the two people being terrified and tortured along the way, she couldn't help but feel pity, and sighed: "It's not worth it for a scripture!"

He Zudao said: "After Yin Kexi said these words, he was out of breath, he finally begged me to come to Shaolin Temple for a while, and asked me to tell a monk Jueyuan in the temple, saying that scriptures are in oil. I heard it strange, what scriptures are in the oil? I wanted to ask for more details later, but he couldn't bear it any longer, and passed out. I plan to wait for him to sleep well, and then ask him when he wakes up. I didn't wake up again. I wondered if the scriptures and books were wrapped in oilcloth? But I searched around the two of them carefully, but there was no trace. Entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty. After a while, I came to Shaolin Temple."

Guo Xiang asked: "Then why did you go to the temple to fight again, saying that you want to compete with them in martial arts?"

He Zudao smiled and said: "It happened from the three people just now. These three people are lay disciples of the Shaolin School in the Western Regions. According to people in the martial arts in the Western Regions, they are the generation of 'Heaven' and the abbot of Shaolin Temple. Zen Master Tianming is of the same generation. It seems that their ancestors had a disagreement with the brothers in the temple, and went to the Western Regions in a fit of anger, passing down the Western Regions branch of the Shaolin School. Originally, the Shaolin School of martial arts was born by Master Bodhidharma from Tianzhu It is not surprising that it spread to the Middle Earth, and then from the Middle Earth to the Western Regions. These three people heard my title of "Three Sages of Kunlun" and wanted to compete with me. Known as the qin sage and chess sage, that's fine, but they absolutely can't tolerate the word "sword master" and they have to force me to take this title. Only "two saints" and "three saints" won't work Just at this time I ran into Yin Kexi, thinking that I would go to the Shaolin Temple anyway, I would do a lot of work, so I sent someone to make an appointment with them to meet at the Shaolin Temple, and then I came to the Central Plains by myself. It's so fast, and the one who is connected with the front foot has also arrived."

Guo Xiang smiled and said, "So that's the case, but I guessed wrong. The three old men have returned to Shaolin Temple at this time, what are they talking about?"

He Zudao said: "I've never met the monks in Shaolin Temple, and we haven't had any holidays. I made an appointment with them for ten days. I will wait for these three old men to arrive before we start. Now we've already fought, let's go up together Let me go down the mountain after I pass the word." Guo Xiang frowned and said, "The rules of the monks are very strict, women are not allowed to enter the temple." He Zu said: "Bah! What is the stinking rule? We just broke in , can you kill someone?"

Although Guo Xiang is a good thing, but since he has established friendship with Zen Master Wu Se, he has no hostility towards Shaolin Temple, he shook his head and smiled, "I'll wait for you outside the mountain gate, you can go to the temple to spread the word, which saves a lot of trouble."

He Zudao nodded and said: "That's it. I haven't finished playing the song just now, I will play it again for you later."
