Golden Greenery

It is said among the people of the Song Dynasty that the king is no better than Xiang, the general is no more than Li, and the boxer is no more than gold.

Xiang is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, Li is Li Cunxiao, the thirteenth eunuch, and Jin is Jin Tai, the hero of the divine fist.

Jintai traveled all over the Central Plains throughout his life. He once defeated the Liao Kingdom without any rivals, and also killed pirates in the south so that they did not dare to land. Wherever there is injustice in the world, there is him. The lone hero is admirable.

He led his hometown people's brave warriors to join the army collectively, blocking the Khitan in the north and the grass bandits in the south. All the evil thieves were frightened by the news. He was once recruited to the capital by the official Zhao Xu's order to personally protect the ruling Prime Minister Wang Anshi and escort the reform.

When he was old, he accepted Zhou Tong as his disciple. He was a closed disciple and taught him all his invincible boxing skills throughout his life. More than 20 years ago, Jin Tai passed away at the age of eighty.

Jintai is praised by the people as "the best hero in the world".

With Zhou Tong's story at the bottom, Yang Yi is no longer surprised at how the Jintai hero turned out to be, but what puzzles him is what happened to the smart monk Yang Wulang and the 'evil thief' Jintai.

Lu Yan had never met Jin Tai, but after recalling it hard, he remembered that Zhou Tong had told some stories about his master when he was young. The source was naturally dictated by Jin Tai during his lifetime.

When Jintai Wushu Dacheng first started training, he met an evil monk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who claimed to be from Songshan Shaolin Temple and was ordered by his master to go out to beg for alms. But as a Shaolin monk, it is very unreasonable to go to the nearby big cities such as Bianliang and Luoyang instead of going to the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away.

In the name of alms, the evil monks are actually doing extortion, which is no different from forcing donations. If any big family didn't pay, they would either come to the house and force them to do it, or they would simply kidnap the family's son or even their daughter who had not left the palace. Although she did not commit adultery, it was enough to ruin the reputation of a young girl, and several of them drowned themselves in the river after they came back.

Believe it or not, the only monk who could make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just three or four years was the only monk since the founding of the world.

Yang Yi thought back to the unreliable Yang Wulang, and felt that it was indeed very similar to his style, and he could definitely do it. Yang Wulang was so unscrupulous in begging for help, probably not to make money for himself, but definitely because he wanted to show off after returning to the Shaolin Temple.

But Yang Wulang must have known that this was against the rules, so he stayed far away from the sight of the Shaolin Temple. Because he only relied on promoting Buddhism and talking nonsense, he did not have the ability and could only take shortcuts.

How could Jintai, who had sworn to be a chivalrous and righteous man all his life, let go of such an evil monk? After tracing him, he started a fierce battle with him. Lingxiu monk Yang Wulang came from a family of generals, and his martial arts skills were quite high, but he was still unable to defeat Jintai, so he could only abandon the hidden money and flee in panic.

Monk Lingxiu said to Yang Yi,

His martial arts skills were greatly reduced because he was seriously injured in the Battle of Golden Beach. In fact, no, he was severely injured by Jintai and became worse than before. Otherwise, he would not have been able to walk back to the Central Plains from Champa for more than 40 years.

Jintai beat Monk Lingxiu to the sea in one breath, and gave up after seeing his boat capsize in the wind and waves with his own eyes. After he left, Monk Lingxiu was rescued by pirates, and then he drifted to the country of Champa.

Yang Yi believed this story, not in Jin Tai, who he had never met, but in Lu Yan.

"Senior brother, you are totally wrong. Do you know who Jintai is? He is the disciple of Sword Immortal Li Xiaoyao~~~, the direct disciple, Zhou Tong is Li Xiaoyao's direct disciple. Senior brother, look at it What have you done?"

Yang Yi really wanted to crash him to death on Mount Huashan.

Li Xiaoyao is called Sword Immortal. In fact, his martial arts knowledge is very complex because his master Yang Yi is very complex. But because Li Xiaoyao had mastered the art of swordsmanship, his reputation for swordsmanship was so great that it virtually obscured the glory of his other martial arts.

It can also be said that although Li Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was led to the high-level gate by Yang Yi, because of his own continuous innovation and sublimation, the new swordsmanship he learned was actually his own thing. Li Xiaoyao's other martial arts, including spears, clubs, fists and kicks, are actually inherited from Yang Yi.

Li Xiaoyao taught martial arts to many people throughout his life, most of whom were just disciples, and most of these people learned swordsmanship. His boxing skills have never been truly passed down.

It was not until he was about to leave the Central Plains for the Tianshan Mountains that Li Xiaoyao discovered Jintai, a good boxing talent, and passed on the boxing techniques he had learned from Master Yang Yi.

Jintai is the last disciple Li Xiaoyao accepted in the Central Plains. The real inheritance disciple comes from the inheritance of Yang Yi.

Li Xiaoyao is so immortal that he is regarded as the supreme in the martial arts world, and the people even look up to him as a god. Jin Tai, on the other hand, is more down-to-earth. His chivalrous stories happened close to the common people, so he was the "number one hero" among the people of the Song Dynasty.

In his later years, Jin Tai passed on the boxing technique to Zhou Tong, who then systematized and standardized it, making the basics of entry clear and easier to spread. This is the Red Fist, and Zhou Tong is also known as the 'Red Fist Master'.

No wonder that when Yang Yi and Zhou Tong were fighting for their lives, he always felt that his boxing skills were very similar to his own, both taking a fierce and domineering approach, but how could he have imagined the profound origin of this.

Yang Yi personally beat to death his direct great-disciple, a famous and extremely innocent great-disciple.

Sheep rolled on the rocks on the ground in annoyance, beating his chest and stamping his feet. I'm sorry for Zhou Tong, I'm sorry for my beloved disciple Li Xiaoyao.

When he got tired of rolling, Lu Yan continued to roll and howl, and the two of them repeated this.

Finally, both of them were tired, and the stone was almost polished into a mirror surface.

"Xiao Lu, what should we do now?"

"Oh, what else can we do? Everyone is already dead..."

"Where is Zhou Tong's home? I will go to your door to apologize."

"Absolutely not. Brother, don't let people know that you killed Zhou Tong, otherwise you will face the pursuit of all the martial arts masters in the Yanzhou Western Army and the Forbidden Army, as well as the Xiaoyao Sect, and even the entire martial arts world will not let you go. If you get past you, there will be no place for you in the Central Plains."

"Alas -" Yang Yi sighed: "Then I'll leave. It's better to go back to the west."

"It doesn't have to be like this. Senior brother, let's do it like this. We can only hide this matter against our will and treat him as if he is wandering around the country without a trace. You don't have to worry about the Zhou family, I will order people to make proper arrangements."

"Xiao Lu..., is there any way I can compensate you?"

"You accept the child I brought as your disciple, in the name of Zhou Tong."

"How to do?"

"Don't you have a human skin mask? In this way, let's..." Lu Yan, who was quick and active in thinking, began to make suggestions for his senior brother Yang Yi to make up for his mistakes.

The stout young man brought by Lu Yan was from Weizhou. In the early Tang Dynasty, the place was called Pingliang. It is now near the border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia. The boy's family was killed by the Western Xia army. He fled to Yanzhou alone, hoping to surrender to the Western army to kill the enemy and take revenge.

But because of his young age, he was given to Chunyangzi Lu Yan, an old acquaintance who happened to be here, by the prime minister of the Jinglue Mansion, Daoshi Dao, and asked him to help take him to Guanzhong and hand him over to Zhou Tong. When he grew up and mastered martial arts, Come join the army again.

In fact, fourteen-year-old boys were not unable to fight in the Song Dynasty, but they would obviously die very quickly. Both Zhong Shidao and Lu Yan felt that this child was a good martial artist and had the potential to become a famous general. It would be a pity if he died early.

.

A few days later, Lu Yan took the young man down Huashan Mountain. On the way outside the mountain, he 'encountered' the 'Master Zhou Tong' and became his disciple on the spot. The simple and simple young man almost knocked his head to the point of bleeding.

The young man's name is Luda, and his ancestors are Shatuo people who were included in the Tang Dynasty. He became Yang Yi's fourth disciple and Zhou Tong's nominal fifth direct disciple.

As a result, Yang Yi, wearing a middle-aged human skin mask, transformed into Zhou Tong, and began traveling around the world with his junior brother Lu Dongbin and his apprentice Lu Da, teaching martial arts while traveling.
