Chapter 138 Hou Tonghai preaches the Holy Cause in Kyiv
Hou Tonghai rode a cross between an Arabian horse and a Mongolian horse. It was not only fast, but also had strong endurance and could travel three to four hundred miles a day.
Because every step of the way, you can encounter the Mongolian inns built in front of the castles in various places, where you can change the tired horses and people can rest, so Hou Tonghai walked very fast, and arrived in Slavia in less than a month.
Kiev, the ancient capital of mankind.
Along the way, we also saw many bandits from the Western Regions and Eastern Europe. Especially after entering Eastern Europe, there were many forests in the plains, and from time to time a group of bandits wearing no clothes would appear.
However, although Hou Tonghai lost an arm, he practiced hard for more than ten years, and because of cultivating his mind and nature, he gave up many desires and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation. The martial arts he practiced in these fifteen years was comparable to the previous twenty years.
, but his martial arts improved greatly, more than doubling compared to when he was healthy.
Therefore, even if he faced at most hundreds of Slavic bandits, Hou Tonghai still killed them all and fled. When he arrived in Kiev, he had unknowingly gained a huge reputation in the green forests of Eastern Europe. He was
People call it the "one-armed triceratops".
After Hou Tonghai arrived in Kiev, he first paid a visit to the Mongolian general Khutul who was granted the title of Prince Guyu in Kiev. After attending the reception banquet at the Kiev Palace, Hou Tonghai randomly selected two servants of the former Principality of Kiev who were proficient in Slavic and Mongolian.
As a personal servant, I then took my two servants to the northwest of Kiev to demolish the Cave Monastery, the oldest Orthodox building in Eastern Europe, and rebuilt the Emmanuel Temple on the old site.
When Hou Tonghai arrived at Lingguang Temple, the gate of the Taoist temple was closed, and there were 100 Mongolian soldiers and more than 200 guards sent by local converted nobles to set up tents outside the Taoist temple to protect him.
This grotto monastery has a history of more than 200 years. It was one of the first churches built after the Orthodox Church entered Eastern Europe. Under the current Lingguang Temple are two kilometre-deep tunnels going east that have been closed by Sun Zhixun, the previous temple owner.
It is said that the grotto tunnel is where all the Orthodox patriarchs and priests of the past dynasties are buried. It is also a holy place of the Orthodox Church, so it was closed by Sun Zhixun, and the Patriarch Hall and Sanqing Hall were built at the entrance to suppress the demons.
.
Hou Tonghai didn't know about these situations, and he had no intention of understanding them. He poured out the light in front of the gate of Lingguang Temple. The Mongolian soldiers on duty came forward to salute. Then the middle door of the Taoist temple opened wide, and more than ten disciples and Taoist priests from the Taoist temple came out.
Kneel down to greet the viewer.
Hou Tonghai saw that among the dozen or so disciples wearing gray preaching robes, the first two should be Mongolians, and the rest looked like local Slavic serfs, who should have been hired by Sun Zhixun to work as coolies.
Hou Tonghai has learned a lot of Mongolian for many years in the Western Regions, but he is not familiar with the Slavic language. He immediately said in Mongolian: "Priest Sun Zhixun was assassinated by the remnants of the Orthodox Church. I am the leader of the Western Regions who is in charge of teaching affairs."
The Lord of the Qing Palace, Mr. Yin Daoye, sent Lao Hou here. I am not a polite, gentle and moral practitioner. I also started my career in the business of killing people and selling goods in China!
Although he has long since changed his ways by following Qingxuan Zhenjun, he came here this time to avenge Taoist Master Sun Zhixun. Firstly, he wanted to clear out all the Orthodox thieves in the Kiev area. Secondly, he wanted to capture the Orthodox Patriarch and kill him in memory of him.
Taoist Master Sun Zhixun, you are all my disciples of Lingguang Guan. From now on, follow me, Lao Hou, and work hard. Follow me and we will have a good life, make money, and have women...
Uh, bitches, you can't take it anymore. I have martial arts training. My Lao Hou's martial arts are not bad. If you are loyal to your work, I will select a few people to be my disciples and pass on the martial arts of my Yellow River Gang to you. When the time comes, your martial arts will be so strong that you will be able to win in Europe. Then you can come and go as you please, and gain both fame and fortune..."
Hou Tonghai spoke loudly for a long time, and the Mongolians naturally understood it. However, the Taoist Taoists looked eagerly at the two servants behind Hou Tonghai. These two servants who were proficient in Mongolian and Slavic languages hurriedly stumbling to translate.
After a while, everyone understood what Hou Tonghai meant, and also realized that this old Taoist with horns on his head, who looked ferocious and ugly, was not a pure and virtuous Taoist like Sun Guanzhu, but a character like a living bandit.
However, the two Mongolian disciples in Lingguang Temple had just practiced cultivation for less than half a year. On the contrary, they liked Hou Tonghai's words even more and hurriedly agreed loudly.
Hou Tonghai entered Lingguang Temple under the respectful welcome of all his disciples, and then asked his disciples to prepare a banquet for the Mongolian soldiers and local chieftains who were guarding the outside.
Not two hours later, the Huo Gong Taoists presented a lot of cooked and roasted beef and mutton, as well as a lot of wine. Hou Tonghai and everyone had a feast in Sanqing Hall to eat and drink.
After an hour, suddenly the local chief came in with his family and gifts. The gifts were just ordinary cattle and horses, some silver coins, and a honey cake made by his unmarried daughter.
In the high-latitude Kiev region, there are no sugar cane and fruits, and the only way to consume sugar is honey and some berries. Therefore, the locals are obsessed with sugar and regard it as the most luxurious and precious food.
Hou Tonghai never liked sweets. Although he had never seen honey cake, when the chief's daughter approached with the cake, he refused to let her bring it to him. First, he stared directly at the girl's face behind the cake. The location of a field of white flowers.
After a while, he glanced at the fair-skinned girl, shook his head and said: "Naizi is not young, but it's a pity that she looks too weird. That's all. I, the old Hou, are at this age, so I should be a Taoist with a low heart. "
After muttering a few words, Hou Tonghai waved his hand and said in Mongolian: "Thank you Chief Urgai and your daughter for your kindness. I will accept this cake. Please come and have a few drinks."
After the Ulgai family bowed and sat in the corner, Hou Tonghai waved his hands and ordered the honey cakes to be distributed to the Mongolian soldiers guarding the Taoist temple and local believers. He himself had eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he had no intention of tasting the barbarian cakes. .
When a dozen or so people only had a dozen breaths after eating the honey cake, they suddenly started to bleed from their orifices and screamed to death.
The cheerful atmosphere of the banquet was instantly broken. Hou Tonghai stood up suddenly, glared at Urgai, and cursed: "What a thief, you poisoned the cake!"
The Ulgai family instantly took out weapons from their clothes and rushed towards the Mongols and converted Slavs around them. Ulgai himself flew towards Hou Tonghai brandishing a short sword.
Hou Tonghai slipped on his feet and used the Yellow River Gang's highest light skill to shift positions to avoid Wuergai's sword. Although Hou Tonghai's shift skills were far inferior to Sha Tongtian's, Wuergai's swordsmanship was very rudimentary, but Even if his external skills are stronger, Hou Tonghai can still easily dodge.
Gusong
After Wuergai staggered and put back his sword and stood still, before he could change his attack, Hou Tonghai made a big swing with one arm and slapped Wuergai in the face. This palm had no move at all, it was completely Hou Tonghai's. Thanks to Tonghai's decades of skill, he was extremely fast, which made Urgai unable to dodge.
Normally, a person in the martial arts world would die on the spot after receiving such a blow, but Urgay fell to the ground but just shook his head and got up again.
"I've long heard that people in the European martial arts community don't practice internal martial arts, but only practice external physical training. You old boy can really stand up to a beating."
Hou Tonghai grinned and said: "Lao Hou will give you a punch of 'Nine Bends of the Yellow River' to see if you can withstand it."
As he said that, Hou Tonghai took a step forward, and then punched out with a long fist. Seeing the fierceness of Hou Tonghai's punch, Wuergai knew that he would be seriously injured if he was not killed. However, his expression remained unchanged, and he tried his best to hit the punch, and in his hand
The dagger stabbed Hou Tonghai in the heart.
Hou Tonghai was so frightened when he saw that Urgai was not afraid of death that it was a killing move that would kill both of them. He used the body-shifting technique to dodge as soon as his footsteps moved. At this moment, he thought about missing one arm and used the other hand to circle around.
Not as good as it was, but Hou Tonghai had not wasted his more than ten years. He used the "Wanli Jin" secretly taught by the Yellow River Gang with a shoulder push, and hit Urgai's chest. He instantly spit out blood and flew backwards. After landing,
After struggling for a few times, he lost his breath.
Hou Tonghai turned around and saw that most of the Ulgai family were dead, and a few people were also surrounded by Mongolian soldiers. He snorted coldly, took out a handful of silver coins from his arms, and with a flick of his wrist, he used the money that Brother Peng had taught him.
Using some "Thousand-Hand Dart Technique", the silver coins flew out and embedded themselves in the bodies of several assassins who were stubbornly resisting. As soon as they were slow, they were killed by the sword and died on the spot.
Hou Tonghai said in a deep voice: "This Orthodox Church must be at odds with our Quanzhen Sect. I will go and talk to Grand Duke Hutur, and we must eliminate all the Orthodox Church's participation."
Soon, the persecution campaign against Orthodox Christians and their hearts suddenly began throughout Eastern Europe. Hou Tonghai did not have any mercy. He regarded these ugly Eastern Europeans as not good people, and regarded the Orthodox Church as evil heretics, constantly representing the Quanzhen Church.
The church and Mongolian high-level leaders worked together to carry forward their style and killed thousands of people with machetes. Finally, half a month later, Kiev and even the entire Eastern Europe were left with no visible Orthodox church strongholds and believers.
However, Hou Tonghai has been assassinated more than ten times, but the martial arts of these assassins are far different from Hou Tonghai, so they have not hurt him at all so far.
During the last assassination, Hou Tonghai also captured the assassins. After interrogation, he found out that they kept assassinating Sun Zhixun and himself because Lingguang Temple was built on the holy land of their Orthodox Church. The grotto under Lingguang Temple stored hundreds of years of Orthodox Christianity.
Of course they couldn't tolerate the corpse of a saint.
So these assassins are no longer limited to Eastern Europe, but more of them are assassins sent from the Constantinople General Altar.
After learning the details, Hou Tonghai laughed angrily. He snorted coldly: "You Orthodox Church wants to take back the Holy Land and protect the bodies of the saints in your bullshit holy tombs. Humph, Lao Hou will dig up all our saints now."
Come out and throw it into the countryside to feed the dogs!"
Hou Tonghai has always been a man of action. Back then, he competed with Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia in order to catch ghosts and get excrement and urine. Now that he wants to humiliate the Orthodox Church, he naturally does what he says.
Returning to Lingguang Temple, Hou Tonghai ordered people to find the entrance to the underground grotto tunnel in the Patriarch Hall. After ordering people to remove the stone slabs at the entrance, Hou Tonghai did not know if there were monsters and ghosts inside.
.
To be on the safe side, he asked his disciples to go to the latrine to get a bucket of dung, and also asked him to bring a dung pitchfork. Then he was worried that ordinary disciples would lose their lives if they went down, so he ordered: "You should guard the entrance of the cave. If there are two
Before I come out after the hour, you will seal the entrance of the cave and invite the true preacher of Yuqing Palace to come and destroy the demons."
After saying this, Hou Tonghai put the candlestick on his head, picked up the dung fork and carried the dung bucket, walked down the cave with firm eyes and steady steps.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, he felt the soothing wind. Hou Tonghai walked forward boldly. After a while, he saw narrow caves beginning to appear on the stone walls on both sides. There was a mummy placed in each small cave.
The clothes of each corpse had rotted away.
Hou Tonghai turned around and saw that there were only corpses, so he relaxed, and then pulled out all the mummies. Some dropped gold and silver crosses and scepters, while others had rotten scriptures beside them.
Hou Tonghai smiled and gathered up the gold and silver scriptures, etc., took off his Taoist robe, wrapped it up, and carried it out.
When he came out and saw that the disciples were all nervous, Hou Tonghai smiled and said: "Go ahead and carry out all the dead people in the grotto and throw them outside."
After everyone agreed and went down, Hou Tonghai called his two personal servants and went back to the bedroom. He first put the gold and silver away, then took out dozens of scriptures and asked: "Look, what are written in these scriptures?"
What is it?"
The two servants didn't know much about literacy, so they read through it together for a long time, then bowed and said, "Master, most of them are the Gospels and Revelation of the Orthodox Church, and there are some that we can't understand. They seem to be called Paladin exercises."
"Oh? Paladin, isn't he a master who fought in the Christian Church in Jerusalem for nearly a hundred years? The Paladin's physical training method must be the outer martial arts of people in the martial arts world in this far west, and Urgai can only write superficial skills.
There is no internal strength in his moves, but he has a strong body and seems to have the skills to protect his body. I am afraid it is similar to this Paladin's body training method."
Hou Tonghai's heart suddenly moved and he happily asked the two of them to carefully translate the Holy Knight's physical training method. Then seeing that the two of them could not translate it, he asked Hutur, the Grand Duke of Ten Thousand Households in Kiev, to send several scholars.
Let them translate the Paladin Exercise Method.
After a week, I finally translated all the scattered seven or eight Paladin exercises. Some of them were repeated, and some were slightly different. Hou Tonghai was considered a martial arts master. Even after reading it,
After finishing the order, I organized and translated it into Chinese characters.
Hou Tonghai was already very familiar with this "Paladin Body Training Technique" at this time. Compared with the martial arts of the Central Plains that he knew, he felt that this was a miraculous skill that was different from that of the Central Plains. It was no better than the martial arts of the Yellow River Clan. He even looked at it.
It seems a bit rough, but after practice it seems to get stronger with practice.
Once you learn it, you will be able to practice excellent horizontal kung fu, and your muscles and bones will be strong, and your strength will become greater and greater. Even if you don't have internal kung fu, you can become a master of external kung fu. If you can practice to the level of the pinnacle of external kung fu, you may still be able to master it.
Turning from the outside to the inside, by that time, even if you can't compare with the four great masters, it will definitely be easy to catch up with the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.
