Golden Greenery

Yuan Tiangang died in the arms of his junior brother Yang Yi.

But before he died, he killed the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian with the Tiangang sword in his hand. The two martial artists with the highest attainments in swordsmanship in the Tang Dynasty met for the only time in their lives, and it also became the last time.

Zhang Zhongjian died first, and it seems that there is a conclusion about who is the best in the world, but the world has no way of knowing, because no one except Yang Yi saw their duel.

Top martial artists like Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Zhongjian will definitely avoid conflicts with each other and avoid competitions if not necessary. Zhang Zhongjian is not afraid of Yuan Tiangang, but he doesn't want to provoke him either.

Women are always very attentive, and Zhang Hongfu noticed that Yang Yi's appearance had not aged after twenty years.

Yang Yi has been in Cheng Mansion and Yulin Guard for 18 years. His life circle is fixed and small. There are only a few people he is most familiar with, so he doesn't notice when he sees him every day. Zhang Hongfu met Yang Yi twice, once when he followed Yuan Tiangang to Li Jing's house 20 years ago when he first left the mountain, and once when he was in the Cheng Mansion for his 17th year.

She told her husband Li Jing and her sworn brother Zhang Zhongjian about this discovery. Li Jing didn't pay much attention to it. There are always many strange people in this world. But Zhang Zhongjian cares. If Yang Yi is really immortal, it will be of great use to him.

There is a secret in Zhang Zhongjian, which not even Li Jing and Zhang Hongfu know. They only knew that Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts master was a Kunlun slave, but they didn't know that he was not an ordinary Kunlun slave.

Zhang Zhongjian took aim at Yang Yi and the secret of his immortality. But he didn't want to alarm Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Zhijie, both of whom were not easy to mess with. More importantly, he didn't want his actions to cause Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Zhijie to discover Yang Yi's secret.

Dark under the lamp, this is Zhang Zhongjian's understanding of Lao Yuan and Lao Cheng.

Therefore, he asked his sworn brother Li Jing to take action to first transfer Yang Yi from Cheng Zhijie, and then lead him northward quickly.

Li Jing will definitely help his sworn brother. This is a very small thing for him.

Before Lao Yuan returned to Sichuan, when he was passing by the Baohe Plank Road, suddenly dark clouds came over him and a strong wind blew up. He divined a hexagram, and the owner of the hexagram was very evil. So, Lao Yuan turned back to Chang'an to find Yang Yi, and then chased to Hexi, and then to Fuyu. He knew that Zhang Zhongjian's hometown was in Fuyu.

Hurrying slowly, Lao Yuan robbed sixteen other people's horses along the way, killed ten horses and paralyzed four horses, and finally arrived at the critical moment.

No need to talk nonsense at all, the two top martial artists directly launched a life and death duel, which was also the battle for the number one martial artist in the Tang Dynasty.

The bruised Yang Yi huddled in the corner of the burning hall,

Being on tenterhooks in front of the only audience, he didn't even have the strength to escape.

Yuan Tiangang's swordsmanship is upright and fierce, while Zhang Zhongjian's is strange and cunning, and it is obviously not the routine of Central Plains martial arts.

Aunt Gongsun's judgment was correct. After 90 moves, Yuan Tiangang gradually fell into a disadvantage. After 120 moves, Yuan Tiangang was already defeated.

But after all, the two of them were only separated by a millisecond. It would not be difficult for Yuan Tiangang to escape at this time, or even escape intact, but Yang Yi would be dead.

Yuan Tiangang struggled to support him, but Zhang Zhongjian threatened his life with his sword. But Yang Yi couldn't understand, he felt it was so intense, and watched the two fighting back and forth intently.

Gangzheng people are often very decisive in their decisions. Yuan Tiangang showed a flaw and let Zhang Zhongjian's Longquan Sword pierce his heart. Taking advantage of his surprise and shock, he raised the sword and the Tiangang Sword cut off half of Zhang Zhongjian's neck, including the major blood vessels and throat.

Bad guys never have the concept of dying together, so Zhang Zhongjian never expected that Yuan Tiangang would make such a choice.

Scarlet blood spurted out a foot high from Yuan Tiangang's chest. Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded man, died on the spot. His neck was like a fountain.

Yang Yi shouted like a madman: "Senior Brother——" He crawled to Lao Yuan's side using his hands and feet, and pressed his chest hard with his hands, but blood still continued to gush out from between his fingers.

"Brother, do you have any medicine? Where is the medicine? Where is it?"

"Yang Yi, senior brother is dying."

"Don't die, senior brother, don't die."

"Yang Yi..."

"Senior brother, don't talk, don't talk, medicine, medicine, medicine..."

"Yang Yi..."

"Don't talk, medicine, medicine, don't talk and don't make trouble."

"Yang Yi..."

"Don't say..."

"Do you want to piss me off first?!"

"Senior brother, tell me."

"Yang Yi, the death of a cultivator is called immortality. Senior brother, I want to ascend to immortality."

"Senior brother, don't be a god, I want you to live."

"Yang Yi, do you know why I met you twenty years ago?"

"You said you were going to Chang'an from Shuzhong, got lost in the mountains, and met me while wandering around."

"That's right and wrong." Yuan Tiangang said: "Everyone who practices Taoism has a destiny and a calamity. It was the destiny that guided me to meet you. Yang Yi, you are my destiny. When I see you, I will I know you are my disaster."

"Senior brother, I don't understand. Can you speak more plainly..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will understand in the future."

"Senior brother, I'm stupid. I didn't learn any of the swordsmanship you taught me before, and I can't understand what you said today."

"Yang Yi, my senior brother saved you today. It means you have fulfilled your destiny and overcome the disaster, so you can become an immortal."

"Senior brother, what do you mean... you should... thank me?"

Yuan Tiangang: "..."

"Yang Yi, senior brother is going to die. From now on, you can only rely on yourself."

"Senior brother..."

"You must...find who you are, and find...the way back. Junior brother, you have to go back...go back to your world...there are still people...waiting for you."

Yuan Tiangang died in Yang Yi's arms.

He lay on Lao Yuan's body and cried loudly. The heart-rending pain exceeded the pain caused by the wounds on his body.

At this moment, Yang Yi suddenly realized that after coming to this world, Yuan Tiangang was the only person who was truly good to him. Twenty years after leaving Zhongnan Mountain, he met countless people, including Cheng Zhijie and Luo Ji. Only Yuan Tiangang was the best to him.

However, this man is now dead.

"Senior brother--" Yang Yi looked up to the sky and screamed sadly.

.

Carrying the Tiangang Sword and Yuan Tiangang's ashes, Yang Yi spent two years walking from Fuyu to Sichuan, and buried Lao Yuan and his sword in Baihe Mountain. This is Lao Yuan’s hometown, and it is Lao Yuan’s last wish to return his soul to his hometown.

After spending a year with Lao Yuan in Baihe Mountain, Yang Yi spent another year returning to Zhongnan Mountain from Shuzhong. Because he is stupid, he always takes the wrong path.

He did not go to Chang'an, but hid directly in the original thatched hut. The thatched hut collapsed long ago, so Yang Yi built a new one, and then he still had one house, one spring and two ridges of land, just like before he met Lao Yuan, slowly and leisurely. Live a peaceful life.

There is a niche on the wall of the thatched house, and on the wooden board is written crookedly - Senior Brother Tiangang Zi Yuan Tiangang's Immortal Seat.

Every now and then, Yang Yi would burn a stick of incense for Lao Yuan, if he had any.

Day after day, month after month, year after year, time seemed to have lost its meaning to him. Yang Yi hid in the mountains and didn't want to go out. He was afraid of the world outside the mountains.

Sometimes he would climb up to the boulder on the top of the hill next to him and take a look at Chang'an City in the distance. That was all. He never wanted to go there again.
