Fish swimming around the world

This name is quite ordinary, but his reputation in the world is anything but ordinary, it is shocking.

It is said that this old man was originally an orphan picked up under a big poplar tree when the Holy Lord came out of the mountain for the second time, so he casually gave him a surname of Yang.

But the Holy Lord has never thought about what to call him. He kept shouting Yang Laoer, Yang Laoer, all day long, who asked him to rank second among his disciples?

Later, this guy grew up and became a tall man, eight feet tall. He felt that Yang Laoer didn't sound very nice, so he simply changed his name to Yang Bachi.

But everyone knows that Yang Bachi is not just because of his height. There is a saying in the world that if the Taoist master is nine feet high, I will be eight, and this is what he is talking about.

It is said that this person is said to be invincible under the Taoist realm, and he is only one foot away from the Taoist realm. This is the true meaning of Yang Bachi's name.

Although the Holy Lord has only been out of Taihua three times in his life, basically everything he did not do was done by this second disciple.

That's a prestigious name! That's a thunderous sound!

Just mentioning a few things will suffice.

One hundred and fifty years ago, this old man was only 40 years old. He heard that a group of thieves came out of Western Xinjiang, named the Seven Wolf Cavalry of the Desert. They were led by five saints and two great sages and three thousand bandits, and they robbed five people. During the Chinese business trip, Yang Bachi went to the Western Regions with his single sword, killing two of the Four Saints in one battle, and then chased the remaining one and the three thousand horse bandits for thousands of miles until they were all killed by the sword. It lasted for a total of seventy-two days and caused a sensation in Western Xinjiang.

A hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Heavenly Demon Palace in southern Xinjiang. The old man single-handedly challenged the demon lord with a single sword, and forcibly suppressed the demon lord back to Leigong Mountain. Since then, the demon lord has not been around in the world for nearly a hundred years. Of course, after finally coming out once, he was beaten by the empress again, and then he passed the throne to future generations in frustration.

More than fifty years ago, when Northern Xinjiang was in chaos, this old man led 6,000 Taihua disciples to hold off King Hunxie's 100,000-strong army at Guiyan Pass in Mangshan Mountain. In the end, he did not let down Hunxie, one of the four kings of Northern Xinjiang. The old jackal takes a step into the beautiful realm.

…

Needless to say, just a few things showed how tyrannical this person was.

These legends are talked about by the world, and Jiang Fan has naturally heard of them. In particular, most of his major achievements were in the Three Frontiers. He has a reputation in the world of "Chinese people have heroes, and they can control the Three Frontiers with eight feet". Even Jiang Fan is also full of respect.

But I didn't expect that what I saw today was an old man in his twilight years, who was out of breath even when he was sweeping the floor.

"...It's really unexpected...it's you, the old man." Jiang Fan sighed with emotion.

Yang Bachi slowly walked to the stone table and sat down, "Why... the dignified Yang Bachi is now a decrepit old man. Are you disappointed?"

Jiang Fan quickly shook his head: "Young men don't dare. Senior Ba Chi controls the three frontiers. He is a well-known hero of our Chinese people. Who doesn't respect him greatly?"

Yang Bachi chuckled twice: "It's just a false name, kid... who are you?"

Jiang Fan said: "Junior, Jiang Fan, be polite."

Yang Bachi's eyelids moved: "...Are you the kid who entered Northern Xinjiang twice?"

He didn't mention so many things about Jiang Fan. He only talked about his two visits to Northern Xinjiang, which made Jiang Fan feel close to him.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Compared with the seniors, it's just the light of a firefly."

Jiang Fan said with rare humility.

"Hmph -" the old man seemed dissatisfied: "Boy, you are the first person from our Chinese tribe to take the initiative to attack Northern Xinjiang. Although your achievements are not great, your achievements are of great significance. I am not as good as you!"

Although he was old and his voice was slow and even breathy, his tone was extremely firm and unquestionable.

Jiang Fan didn't dare to argue, but he admired him even more in his heart.

Yang Bachi said: "Baby, sit down and talk."

Jiang Fan then sat sideways.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Fan smiled awkwardly: "No... I just admire the Holy Lord and wanted to come here to pay my respects..."

Yang Bachi's nose twitched: "You kid is not telling the truth."

Jiang Fan opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

Yang Bachi said: "As long as the thief doesn't escape, I will grant you something."

After saying that, he took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms.

"Write what I have cultivated throughout my life on it, take it away."

"Ah?" Jiang Fan was surprised and quickly declined: "How does this make..."

"Take it!" Yang Bachi said: "I have said it all my life, just take it as you are told. I am old and can't see the day when the three frontiers will be pacified. I like you as a younger generation. Don't imitate them. They only know how to live in their nests." opposite."

These words made Jiang Fan excited, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly came up.

"Taihua is decayed and has forgotten that the world is not at peace. You are a young man with great ambitions, but don't forget the justice of the nation."

Jiang Fan stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, take it, kid. I will definitely choose the best successor for you."

"Um……"

Yang Bachi coughed a few times: "You are not good at martial arts, but you have a good disciple. Last time I came to Taihua to practice the inner demon path, I was very happy with it. I heard that he recently joined the army in the north. He is a good material, so I gave it to him." Bar."

Jiang Fan hurriedly thanked Meng Yi. Unexpectedly, Meng Yi's reckless attack on Taihua and his party would give them such a great opportunity in addition to the path of inner demons.

"Meng Yi is so lucky. The younger generation will definitely convey it to him and let him worship him as a disciple."

"No offense!" Yang Bachi was weak, but still so decisive: "Qin State and Taihua are incompatible with each other. It is inevitable to be in trouble. There is no need to tell him where he comes from."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Since you know that Qin and Taihua are at odds with each other, why..."

Yang Bachi waved his hand: "Internal strife is internal strife, and foreign enemies are foreign enemies. Don't be confused."

Respect arose in Jiang Fan's heart: "Yes."

"Especially your kid..." Yang Bachi raised his old eyes and stared at him: "I value you the most. If one day you can pacify the three frontiers, it must be you. Don't forget your righteousness and don't lose your heart. "

Jiang Fan was stunned, not wanting this boss to value him so much.

"I know that many people in Taihua regard you as the great monster in the world, but remember, not everyone, and don't deny the whole of Taihua just because the vast majority are so hostile to you. The Holy Land... also has unspeakable secrets."

Jiang Fan's heart suddenly moved, this old man's words had a profound meaning.

"You don't have to think so much now... just do whatever you have to do. If necessary, you don't need to be soft on Taihua. Holy Land... In the end, too many people have forgotten why the Holy Land was established. It's not for that. The pinnacle of power in the world——"

He looked at Jiang Fan seriously: "Remember, Taihua is a tool, a powerful tool, like a peerless sharp sword. Those with the Tao can hold it, wipe out the world's demonic obstacles, and purify the world. But those without the Tao can wield it, and it can bring disaster to the people." ”

When Jiang Fan heard this argument for the first time, he suddenly felt his hair standing on end and was extremely shocked.

tool? Taihua... is a tool? Is it a sword? Whose tool, whose sword?

It was as if there was a huge secret waving to him, as if it was about to be unveiled.

However, Yang Bachi said: "Don't ask too many questions. What you can get by asking is not as good as what you experience. The truth is never told orally. Apart from you, I have only talked to two people in Taihua."

The veil floating from the infinite darkness faded away again. Jiang Fan was sweating a little and said respectfully: "Follow the elders' wishes..."
