The first sixty-three chapters encounter Yang Ming mistakenly for life
November 21, the sixth year of Zhaoguang in the Song Dynasty
Under the howling cold wind, heavy snow fell from the sky and covered the Central Plains and desert grasslands. Even Jiangnan, Jingxiang and other places were covered with snow. After one night, countless poor people and refugees froze to death in the countryside and in the streets of the city.
.
Yang Ming still went out to look for Bodhisattva snakes that day, planning to kill them and take the snake gallbladder to practice internal energy. However, after walking around the valley, he couldn't find a single snake, so he headed towards the deepest place that he rarely went to.
Go to the quiet valley bottom.
As he walked, Yang Ming frowned and said, "Have I eaten up all of them in the past four years? My puppet magic skill is about to be completed now, but there are still some entrances that cannot be opened in the second line of Ren and Du. What if it is really gone?
All we can do is rely on water grinding..."
After living in the valley for four years, Yang Ming worked hard on his internal skills every day and pondered how to practice the Dugu Nine Swords. Now he still can't figure out the Dugu Nine Swords except for the last "Qi-Breaking Style". However, Yang Ming knew that it was because his skill was not enough.
, you should be able to understand the samadhi after you master the magic of puppets.
Yang Ming touched his long hair and beard, and said solemnly: "I have been trapped in the valley for four years, but the forest at the entrance of the valley is obviously weird, and I always get lost in it, and I can't get out no matter what.
Now that all the Bodhisattva Snakes have been eaten, my skills are not weak, and I may be able to catch up with my mentor back then.
There's no point in staying any longer. Since I can't get out, I'll climb the mountain tomorrow. No matter how steep the stone wall is, I can always find a fulcrum by inserting the Qingfeng Sword into the stone wall. You can give it a try."
After making up his mind, Yang Ming turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly a gust of wind blew in his face.
Yang Ming didn't have time to look, so he rolled over to avoid it. He drew his sword and turned sideways to see a big snake, as thick as a sea bowl and several feet long, swooping down from a big tree. It was the snake that bit him just now.
I saw this giant python swimming toward me with its mouth spitting out worms, at a very fast speed, and the poisonous gas coming from its mouth hit my face from a distance.
This was the first time for Yang Ming to see such a giant python, and he guessed that this giant python was a variant of the Bosi Snake, because he had eaten the gall bladders of hundreds of Bosi Snakes in the past four years.
It has long been known that the Bosi Snake is only a few feet long at its maximum, but this giant python is so huge. Although its body is covered with golden light, it has no horns on its head. It is probably a cross between the Bosi Snake and other pythons.
However, this strange snake was blowing fishy wind from its mouth, and its infinite suction force made people unable to help but fall forward. Yang Ming knew that the strange snake was very powerful, so he did not dare to get close to it, so he had to use Qinggong to dodge left and right.
Yang Ming's current skills are extraordinary, and he uses the Tiangang Beidou Formation's position-grabbing movement technique. His ability to spin and move in a small area is unparalleled in the world, so no matter how the weird snake swims, it can't catch up with him.
After a while, Yang Ming saw that the strange snake seemed to be stunned by him, and its movements were slightly sluggish. He hurriedly walked around behind it, stepped forward and struck with a sword.
"Qiang!"
There were crisp sounds of metal and stone clashing one after another, and Yang Ming felt that the blade of the sword was deflected. Although it still cut open the snake scales, the snake scales were tough and smooth, almost iron scales, so the strange python only suffered some skin trauma.
The strange python roared, then jumped forward a foot, and its four fangs fell towards Yang Ming's head.
Yang Ming did not fight with it, but turned around and hid behind a tree, then circled again to look for opportunities.
Although the strange python is magical and powerful, it is still a beast. Yang Ming played with it for a long time. As the blood flowed more and more, it lost strength, shook its head and tail, and was about to leave.
However, Yang Ming was not willing to let it go. He stepped forward and stood on the waist of the strange python with a slight leap. Before it had time to react, he stabbed down with both hands, and a half-foot sword glow appeared on the Qingfeng sword.
He stabbed the giant python seven inches and pinned it firmly to the ground.
The giant python roared and swung its tail, hitting Yang Ming in the back of the heart and knocking him away.
The giant python was severely injured but struggled but could not move. After hissing a few times, it lowered its head and struggled for a long time without making any sound.
Yang Ming was hit by the giant python, as if struck by lightning, and fell into the bushes four to five feet away and almost fainted. However, after all, he had profound skills, and it was because he had no experience and could not use his skills to protect his body that he was seriously injured.
, but after all, there is a magical skill that protects the internal organs. Although the pain all over the body is like cracking and the bones all over the body seem to be loose, they are just superficial injuries.
When I got up, I saw the giant python bending its body on the ground. The ground was dyed red with blood. The fishy smell made me want to vomit. I felt relieved when I knew it was dead.
He stepped forward and pulled out the Qingfeng sword to peel off the skin and cut the flesh. He also took out the gallbladder as big as a fist from the python, bit the bile jacket and drank the bile.
After eating the snake gallbladder, Yang Ming carried the snake skin back to the wooden house, and then performed Qigong exercises to heal his injuries.
After completing the exercise for a week, Yang Ming felt that his internal energy had improved tremendously during today's practice, so he opened up more than ten acupuncture points in one go, leaving only twenty points to complete the magical power.
After finishing the exercise, Yang Ming opened his eyes. Because his breath had not completely calmed down, his eyes were shining like two bright lights.
Yang Ming felt that not only had his injuries healed during this practice, but the true energy in his body had increased by another 20%, he murmured to himself very happily: "The remaining key points and entrances will soon be conquered one by one. This Snake King is indeed very special."
Extraordinarily, one snake gallbladder is as effective as dozens of Bodhisattva snakes before."
After his skill greatly improved, Yang Ming was secretly happy. He took out the needle he had grinded with snake teeth when mending clothes in the thatched hut, and used the snake skin as thread to sew the snake skin and scales of the giant python into a piece of inner armor.
When he climbed up the mountain, he felt that it was light and comfortable and could block the damage caused by ordinary swords. He smiled and said: "With this scale armor protection, I can protect my vitals even if I fall when I climb the mountain."
As soon as it dawned the next morning, Yang Ming packed up, put on a scale armor and a tattered Taoist robe, carried dried meat in his arms, and climbed up the stone cliff above the waterfall with a Qingfeng sword in his hand.
After three or four feet, I realized that the rock wall was smooth and steep further up, with no uneven spots for climbing and landing.
Yang Ming had already planned, so he used his skills to insert the Qingfeng Sword into the stone wall, chipping off a piece of stone and creating a depression.
In this way, Yang Ming kept using the Qingfeng Sword to cut out concave and convex spots on the stone wall bit by bit, and then climbed up bit by bit.
After half an hour, Yang Ming felt a little weak in strength, but at this time, he was already dozens of feet high. If he accidentally fell, he would be shattered into pieces.
Yang Ming knew that life and death only lasted a moment, so he could only lie down on the stone wall to rest for a while, then gritted his teeth and continued climbing up.
After another half an hour, Yang Ming's true energy was exhausted again, and his arms were slightly sore. However, he looked at the top, which was only about ten feet high, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on for a while.
After climbing to the top of the cliff, Yang Ming stood up and looked around. He saw beautiful mountains and clear waters in the valley, shrouded in clouds and mist. Outside were the rolling hills, which became gentler and lower as they went outward.
Yang Ming first ate some dried meat on the top of the cliff, then meditated to recover his strength, and then he found a gentle path from the top of the cliff and slowly walked out of the valley.
…
After leaving the valley, Yang Ming saw many bones in the wilderness. He knew that there was a battlefield outside Xiangyang City. The fighting had been fierce in the past few years. These bones were either soldiers of the two armies or victims of the disaster who died under the iron heel of Mongolia.
“White bones are exposed in the wild, there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and hundreds of living people have left one thing behind. The thought of it is heartbreaking...
Hey, it is said that during the Jiading Zhongxing and Zhaoguang heydays of the Song Dynasty, the national power became much more prosperous in the past few decades. I wonder if they can defeat Mongolia?
Uncle Guo is serving as the general who defends the city in Xiangyang, and we haven't seen each other for almost ten years. Why not go to Xiangyang City to join him first, and then explore the location of Zixiao Palace and find his mentor."
Looking at the wilderness all around, Yang Ming made up his mind. Looking at the sun to identify the direction, he estimated that Xiangyang City was in the southwest, so he followed the horse's hoof prints to the southwest, preparing to go to the city to join Uncle Guo who was guarding Xiangyang City. , then have a good meal, rest and wash up, then slowly inquire about the situation of my mentor Yin Zhiping, and then I have to think about going back to Hetang Village to visit my grandparents, parents and sister.
Yang Ming met Guo Jing once when he was nine years old. At that time, Guo Jing came alone and stayed in Hetang Village for three days before leaving.
Yang Ming was deeply impressed by Uncle Guo. At that time, he was very kind to himself and his sister, and treated his family as close relatives.
In Yang Ming's mind, the closest relative besides his family is his master Yin Zhiping, and the others who are trustworthy are Uncle Guo and the two mother-in-laws and Aunt Long from the ancient tomb.
At this time, I had just come out of the valley, didn't understand anything, was penniless, and was closest to Xiangyang, so I could only think of seeking refuge with Guo Jing.
It was afternoon when we walked to Xiangyang City. When Yang Ming entered the city, he saw the bustling crowds at the city gate. The people going in and out, no matter they were dressed in shabby clothes or rich, whether they were walking with burdens or riding horses and riding sedans, all had smiles on their faces and were beaming with joy. There were also many people with swords and swords coming in and out.
Yang Ming was confused and saw a few beggars squatting at the city gate begging, and suddenly thought of the Beggar Gang.
It was said that his Aunt Huang was the leader of the Beggar Gang. Ninety-nine percent of these beggars in Xiangyang City were disciples of the Beggar Gang. So he walked over to a young beggar, forced a smile, raised his hands and asked: "How do you do, brother? The elder is friends with Guo Daxia and Gang Leader Huang. I met a gangster on the road and was penniless. I was very hungry when I first arrived in Xiangyang. I came here to ask to see Guo Daxia and Gang Leader Huang and Guo Daxia. I wonder if they are okay?"
The Taoist robe Yang Ming was wearing was in tatters, and the color and shape could not be seen. His hair was messy, and his beard was long. He looked to be in his 30s. The beggar thought he was also a disciple of the sect, and when he saw that he spoke and behaved like As someone with a good family background, he did not dare to be disrespectful. He stood up and said, "My younger brother, Zhao Liu, a second-generation disciple of the Beggar Clan, may I ask my elder brother what your surname is and where it comes from?"
Yang Ming said politely: "My younger brother, Yang Ming, is from Lin'an. He is coming from Shaanxi this time."
Zhao Liu nodded and said: "What sect is eldest brother from? Do you have any hero posts?"
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "My younger brother is a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and his tutor is Taoist Master Yin Zhiping, but I don't have any hero status."
Zhao Liu frowned when he heard this and pondered for a long time, obviously not believing it.
Yang Ming immediately used two moves of Quanzhen boxing. Zhao Liu's eyes lit up, and then he bowed and said: "It turns out that Mr. Yang from the Quanzhen sect has arrived. Your master is the master of the Quanzhen sect. How come you have ended up like this?"
Yang Ming shook his head slightly and said: "I met some bad guys and got lost with my master. It has been four years."
After hearing Yang Ming's words, Zhao Liu's expression changed and he said with a smile: "Could it be that you are the son of Uncle Guo's sworn brother?"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Brother Zhao has also heard of my younger brother?"
Zhao Liu laughed and said: "In the past few years, Gang Leader Huang and Uncle Guo have been ordering us Beggar Clan disciples to look for you, Young Master Yang. At first, they said that you were kidnapped by the Jueqing Valley, but later they found Jueqing Valley two years ago.
, Uncle Guo and Zhenren Yin went into the valley to ask for you, Mr. Yang, from their valley master. It was said that it was a good battle, and finally they chose the flag of Jueqing Valley. Their valley master was also replaced by a crippled old woman, but in recent years, you
But there is still no news. Uncle Guo and the Quanzhen Sect have been looking for you these years...
Thank God you are okay. Master Yin is said to be coming in two days. Gang Leader Huang and Uncle Guo are in the city to receive heroes from all over the world. I will take you there right now, Master Yang."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
Yang Ming thanked him, and Zhao Liu had already picked up the broken bamboo pole and bowl and entered the city.
Yang Ming hurriedly followed him, and the two walked through the streets and alleys, and after a while they arrived in front of a tall mansion.
Along the way, Yang Ming inquired about the situation with Zhao Liu, and found out that the reason for the joy in Xiangyang City was that Uncle Guo defeated the Mongolian army last month and personally charged into the battle and killed several Mongolian generals. Now that Mongolia has retreated to the Central Plains, it is no longer able to move south.
, it is natural to be overjoyed after achieving a great victory.
As for the large number of people in the martial arts world, it is because Gang Leader Huang is not feeling well and is preparing to pass the position of gang leader to Gang Leader Lu, so a Beggar Clan meeting will be held in Laba next month.
The Quanzhen Sect has good relations with the Beggar Clan. Thinking that the war between Mongolia and Song Dynasty has reached a stalemate, Uncle Guo wants to use the Beggar Clan Conference as an excuse to invite heroes from all over the world to join forces with martial arts to fight against the Mongols. So he came
The people in the martial arts world are all people in the martial arts world who participate in the conference.
After listening to Zhao Liu's words, Yang Ming realized that the Song Dynasty had won a great victory, and that on the day of Laba, a beggar gang meeting would be held in Xiangyang City to form an alliance to fight against the Mongols.
Yang Ming's young mind was quite fascinated after hearing such a grand event. While waiting for the concierge's reply, he asked: "Since it is an alliance, 80% of the time we have to nominate the leader of the martial arts alliance. I don't know whether it is senior Beibei Hong or the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Where is the Master of Quanzhen?"
Zhao Liu, a disciple of the Beggar Clan, was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to say, "How do you know that you can't recommend Guo Daxia and Gang Leader Huang?"
But as I spoke, I felt that among the world's elites, in terms of seniority, the one who everyone admired was the Quanzhen leader Qingxuan Zhenjun, the Great Heavenly Master, followed by the leader of our gang, Mr. Hong.
Uncle Guo and Gang Leader Huang were the juniors of these two, so they couldn't help but admire Yang Ming very much, saying: "Master Yang, you are really wise. I think we, our disciples, argued for more than ten years before we came up with someone who has the qualifications and authority to lead the righteous way of martial arts in the world."
Only Quanzhen Cult Leader and Hong Lao Gang Leader, you hit the nail on the head, you are really smart!"
Yang Ming waved his hand gently and said, "Brother Zhao Six is so complimentary."
Zhao Liu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Old Hong gang leader Shenlong has never seen the end of the world. He has long since issued a message not to ask about the affairs of the world. Quanzhen leader Lin Tianshi is a land golden immortal and has long since stopped asking about trivial matters in the world.
, I haven’t been seen for many years, but I heard people say that he has ascended to heaven.
Now the person in charge of the Quanzhen Sect is Yin Zhenren, the master of the Palm Palace, your revered master. He has a sworn relationship with Uncle Guo. In the past few years, our Xiangyang has fought against Mongolia, and the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect have also contributed a lot. I guess this
The next leader of the martial arts alliance is either Uncle Guo or Zhenren Yin."
Yang Ming smiled and asked about other situations in the world. The Quanzhen sect was his mentor who made the real palm seal. His uncle Guo Jing had been steadily guarding Xiangyang City. In recent years, the Song Dynasty had defended on the western front and attacked on the eastern front.
They won consecutive victories. It is said that Nanjing Yingtianfu and Shandong and other places have been captured, and the East Road army seems to be attacking Bianliang, Tokyo.
Yang Ming was about to ask Mr. Liang Ziwen about his situation when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe walking out quickly. Before he saw Yang Ming, he started shouting: "Ming'er."
Guo Jing has met Yang Ming twice over the years. The first time was when he and Huang Rong got married and took his mother to Hetang Village to visit Yang Tiexin, Bao Xiruo and Yang Kang. Yang Ming was only two years old at that time.
Later, when Guo Jing left Taohua Island and was ordered to go to Lin'an to meet Zhao Kuo and Zhao Xiyan, he paid homage to Yang Tiexin once and stayed for a few days before going to Xiangyang to defend the city.
At that time, Yang Ming was pestering Uncle Guo all the time, and Guo Jing also taught him some of the techniques for building the foundation of the Quanzhen Sect.
However, Yang Ming was only nine years old at the time, and is now nineteen. In total, they have not seen each other for about ten years, and they have not seen each other for seven or eight years. However, Guo Jing and Yang Ming recognized each other when they met.
When Yang Ming saw that Guo Jing saw a lot of wrinkles on the corners of Uncle Guo's eyes and forehead, he thought that his parents and grandparents had no idea how old they would be.
Yang Ming, meet Uncle Guo."
Guo Jing stepped forward to help Yang Ming up. He didn't mind that he was sloppily dressed and smelled bad. He held him in his arms and said happily: "I finally found you Ming'er. Where have you been these years? It's so easy to find.
Your grandparents, parents, your master and I are all very anxious..."
Yang Ming was quite moved and said: "Uncle Guo...Uncle Guo, how are you and your aunt? How are my parents and grandparents? How is my master?"
Guo Jing led Yang Ming into the courtyard. When he turned around, he bowed to Zhao Liu and thanked him: "Brother Zhao, please come in and have a rest."
Zhao Liu bowed and said, "I won't disturb Young Master Yang and Uncle Guo as they reminisce about old times." After saying that, Zhao Liu turned around and left.
Yang Ming and Guo Jing didn't stop calling him again.
After a few words of praise, the two entered the house, sat down in the study and talked for a while. Only then did Yang Ming realize the real changes in recent years.
It turned out that after he accidentally entered the valley and disappeared, Master and Liang Ziweng joined forces to fight against the Jueqing Valley disciples. Not only did the Quanzhen disciples arrive to support him, but Uncle Guo saw the rocket and knew that the Quanzhen sect was in danger and went to help.
However, after the disciples of Jueqing Valley were repulsed, everyone searched for him for more than ten miles but could not find him, so they concluded that Jueqing Valley had kidnapped him.
After that, Master and Liang Ziwen were recuperating in Xiangyang, and the Beggar Clan and Quanzhen Sect have been looking for the location of Jueqing Valley.
However, Jueqing Valley seems to know that the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan are looking for them, so the Jueqing Valley disciples have not shown up for more than two years.
Later, the Beggar Clan disciples discovered the creek and the secret passage leading into the valley. Then on August 15th of the year before last, Uncle Guo and his master went into the valley to look for themselves, and then had a big battle with the owner of the valley, causing many things.
After the great battle, Jueqing Valley gained a new Valley Master named Qiu Qianchi.
Gongsun Zhi, who is extremely skilled in martial arts, is hiding in the world. Because Qiu Qianren died at the hands of Guo Jing back then, Qiu Qianchi and Jueqinggu are now enemies of the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan. No one can tell what the relationship between the couple is.
Will this meeting be detrimental to both factions?
…
After talking about the feelings of separation and the changes over the years, a girl with a beautiful face and elegant temperament came over and bowed: "Master, Mr. Yang's wing has been tidied up."
Guo Jing smiled and said: "Ming'er, this is Cheng Ying, the disciple your Aunt Guo accepted. Back then, your master and your Aunt Huang caught up with Wu Santong's revenge on Lujiazhuang, and the two children in their village all worshiped him.
There is another person under your aunt, Lu Wushuang, who will be introduced to you later, as well as your sister Fu'er, who you just met outside the Lujiazhuang, so we need to talk to you later..."
Yang Ming agreed and stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "Hello, Senior Sister Cheng."
Cheng Ying smiled slightly and returned the greeting: "Hello, Brother Yang."
After the ceremony, Yang Ming went back to wash up, and after a while he put on clean clothes and came out.
It was almost night at this time, and the hall was all lit with lights.
When Yang Ming walked into the flower hall, he saw Guo Jing and a beautiful lady sitting on the upper floor, and he knew it was Aunt Guo.
He rushed forward to meet Guo Jing and Huang Rong again.
Guo Jing helped Yang Ming up, waved his hand and said, "Fu'er, why don't you pay homage to your brother Yang Shi? There are also Shuang'er."
A girl with bright eyes, white teeth, and beautiful face is Guo Jing's daughter Guo Fu. Next to Guo Fu is a pretty girl with an oval face. Although her appearance is also very beautiful, her complexion is slightly dark. Together with another Cheng Ying, she is even more beautiful.
Qi Guo Fudu is slightly inferior.
Guo Fu and Lu Wushuang came forward to pay homage to the elder brother, and Yang Ming returned the greeting. Guo Fu and Yang Ming recognized each other as the boy and girl they met once in Jiaxing many years ago.
Yang Ming recalled that Guo Fu was handsome and wealthy back then, which was unforgettable. Guo Fu also recalled that Yang Ming told ghost stories to scare him, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
These three girls have followed Huang Rong to practice martial arts on Peach Blossom Island since they were young. In the past few years, they have rarely encountered outstanding young talents in Xiangyang City. At this time, they were a little shy when they suddenly saw Yang Ming, but Cheng Ying was really
He was too shy to even look at Yang Ming.
One of Lu Wushuang and Guo Fu looked at Yang Ming quietly, while the other stared at Yang Ming provocatively. They looked more aggressive and generous than the other, but their slightly red faces still betrayed their shy nature.
Yang Ming spent his adolescence in the valley and did not know how to get along with women. After giving the gift, he stepped aside in embarrassment.
At this time, Huang Rong was already pregnant with Liujia. She sat on the main seat and said something to Yang Ming.
Seeing that he was handsome, well-spoken, and even more rare for his family background, I couldn't help but look at my daughter Guo Fu, and then at my husband Guo Jing, and I no longer resisted Guo Jing's decision to betroth Fu'er to Yang Ming.
