Golden Greenery

One hundred and forty years ago, Qian Chu, the last emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom, a separatist force located in Minzhe and Jiangnan, built a masonry tower on the Leifeng of Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of the West Lake to celebrate the birth of his seventh son.

The official name is ‘Huang Fei Pagoda’, but everyone still calls it Leifeng Pagoda according to the location.

In the second year after the pagoda was repaired, Zhao Guangyi, who had just become emperor, asked Qian Chu to go to Bianliang to talk about it. He didn't dare not go, but he was detained when he went. In order to survive, Qian Chu led South Vietnam to join the Song Dynasty, and was granted the title of King Xu by Zhao Guangyi.

Qian Chu's seventh son Qian Weiyan later became a famous official and scholar in the Song Dynasty, a representative of Xikun style poets, and also served as Minister of War and Privy Council. However, Kou Zhun hated him all his life.

The Leifeng Pagoda is seven stories high and is made of bricks and stones wrapped with wooden buildings. Because of its remote location, the incense has never been very prosperous, which is far worse than the temples such as Lingyin Temple, Fahua Temple and Liuhe Temple.

Leifeng Pagoda did not become a separate temple because of the pagoda. Prior to this, monks had been stationed by Lingyin Temple. The last resident monk, Yuan Hui, returned to Lingyin Temple to collect rice noodles for the month. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked down Xizhao Mountain, he was robbed by a vicious thief who suddenly jumped out.

The evil thief robbed Yuan Hui of his monk's robes and almost stripped him naked. Yuan Hui was almost frightened to death. In his panic, he thought he had met a lewd thief. The evil thief left two cents of silver for Fang Hui, making the robbery more like a forced purchase and sale in nature.

The frightened monk Yuanhui never returned to Leifeng Pagoda. Since then, it has become a temporary residence for ascetic monks or temporary monks, and it is basically in a state of neglect.

As soon as Yang climbed to the top of the peak, he stood in front of the closed tower door with a Qingfeng sword in his hand.

When he saw the writing on the wall of his junior brother Lu Yan's home, he knew that the enemy was coming for him. He didn't know how powerful the enemy was, but since he could kidnap Xiao Lu, who was very good at swordsmanship, to Leifeng Pagoda, it meant he was quite strong.

I don’t know what the enemy wants to do with me, but Xiao Lu has been implicated by me. I hope it’s not too late.

Yang Yi pushed open the door of the tower, and there was a great monk sitting inside. There was a Zen staff made of fine steel beside the chair.

Fahai Zen Master Deng Yuanjue! When Lu Yan and Bai Niangzi got married five years ago, Yang Yi met him.

"Taoist Priest Huang Shang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Where is my junior brother?"

Deng Yuanjue pointed upward: "At the top, he is still alive, don't worry..."

Before he finished speaking, the sheep swung his sword and stabbed out of distraction. Deng Yuanjue reacted very quickly.

In an instant, he took a step to the side to avoid Yang Yi's attack. He also picked up the Zen staff and the two of them fought together.

A connoisseur will know if it is there as soon as he reaches out his hand. After only ten moves, Yang Yi knew that he was in serious trouble today. Deng Yuanjue's martial arts was definitely superior to his own, and no less powerful than Xiao Feng and his son in the past.

Why have we never heard of such a martial arts master before? How mysterious is Mingjiao?

Yang Yi has always adhered to the principle of 'run if you can't fight', but today he not only couldn't run, but also couldn't retreat, because Xiao Lu didn't know whether he was alive or dead on top.

The narrow attic did not seem to affect Deng Yuanjue's ability to wield his mighty Zen staff at all, and his martial arts moves were very weird. With Yang Yi's extensive experience, he had never seen this style in the Central Plains.

After thirty moves in the fierce fight, Yang Yi made a feint and suddenly rushed up the stairs, but Deng Yuanjue behind him was not in a hurry to catch up.

There is also a person on the second floor, Li Tianrun, the general of Fang Lajun Town. He is holding a nine-section steel whip.

Sheep always felt that his scalp was full of hair. Li Tianrun's martial arts was as good as Deng Yuanjue's. When did these top-level ruthless characters appear in the Central Plains martial arts world?

After another thirty moves, Yang Yi rushed to the upper level again. On the third floor, Qian Zhenpeng, holding the steel knife tightly, was waiting for him.

Qian Zhenpeng's martial arts skills were not as good as those of Deng Yuanjue and Li Tianrun, but they were not much lower. If Yang Yi wanted to kill him, he would have to wait a hundred moves.

After fighting thirty more moves with Pang Wanchun, the 'Little Yang Youji' on the fourth floor, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh: With just these four people, not only Lu Yan couldn't escape, but he himself couldn't escape either. In the Central Plains martial arts world, No one can escape from their siege.

The 'National Protector General' Si Xingfang on the fifth floor was shot down by Lu Yan. Xiao Lu rushed down from the top floor when he heard the news of his senior brother coming up to kill him. In fact, Si Xingfang's martial arts skills were basically on the same level as Deng Yuanjue and Li Tianrun. He just didn't want to fight with Lu Yan.

The seven-story Leifeng Pagoda hides five peerless martial arts masters from the Fang Laming Sect. No wonder Lu Yan can't escape. And I don’t know how many such powerful characters there are around Fang La in Hangzhou. It’s no wonder that the Liangshan Martial Arts Group suffered a big loss from them.

.

"Brother, you shouldn't have come. Their target is you." Lu Yan was injured, but it was not fatal.

"Everyone is here for the Chinese New Year." Yang Yi said, "How is White Snake?"

"Fortunately, she and Xiaoqing are both alive and up there."

Sheep breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person was alive. Deng Yuanjue and others slowly caught up and guarded the stairs. Yang Yi asked him: "What do you want from me?"

Deng Yuanjue proclaimed the Buddha with one palm and saluted: "I have admired the name of Taoist Huang Shang for a long time, and by the order of the leader, I invite Mr. Huang to join our Ming Cult and follow the Holy Fire of Light together."

"Okay." Yang Yi said without hesitation: "Let my junior brother and his family go, and I will join the Mingjiao." As Yang Yi, who lived from Li Tanghuo to Zhao Song, he didn't care at all whether he rebelled or not. He only cared about his children. Lu's safety.

Yang Yi agreed so simply, which was beyond the expectations of Deng Yuanjue and others. However, although the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered in strength, Lu Yan was not inferior in terms of momentum. He asked Deng Yuanjue: "Why did you take such pains to lure my senior brother here?"

Fahai monk Deng Yuanjue no longer concealed it at this time: "Immortality."

Brothers Yang Yi and Lu Yan suddenly realized this, but they couldn't help but despise the powerful enemy in front of them. Yang Yi said disdainfully: "Pindao originally thought that only idiots like Zhao Ji would believe in the theory of immortality. I didn't expect that Fang La and Zen Master, who seemed to be relatively normal people, would also believe such absurd rumors."

Deng Yuanjue didn't pay attention to Yang Yi's ridicule: "Huang Shang, where did you come from? Eighteen years ago you suddenly appeared out of thin air. Where were you before? Who were you before?"

This involves Yang Yi's most secretive story, and of course he will not tell the truth.

"It's useless to talk more. Let my junior brother and his family go, and I will join you in the religion."

Deng Yuanjue smiled slightly and didn't rush to ask. He took out a yellow pill from his arms and handed it to Yang Yi. "Swallow him, and Daochang Lu's family can leave safely."

"What is this?"

"Three Corpse Brain Pills." Deng Yuanjue said: "It is the same as the Xiaoyao Sect's Broken Muscles and Rotten Bone Pills. It will not kill you, it is just to ensure that you will not apostate."

Duanjin Fugu Pill is a poison developed and invented by Tianshan Tonglao. After taking it, you must get the antidote regularly every year, otherwise you will suffer severe pain all over your body and then die of decay. Tianshan Tonglao used it to control the thirty-six cave masters and the seventy-two island masters in Jianghu who were led by Lingjiu Palace.

But after Xu Zhu became the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, he abandoned this vicious control method and eradicated the toxicity of the Broken Muscle and Rotten Bone Pills for both the Thirty-six Cave Masters and the Seventy-two Island Masters.

However, Fang La's Mingjiao got the formula of Duanjin Fugu Pills from nowhere, and made Sanshi Naoshen Pills by changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Sheep doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't have to die, as long as Lu Yan can be safe, let alone taking medicine, he can eat shit now, even if he has to take it and swallow it.

Lu Yan was horrified: "Senior brother, you must not do it. If you eat it, you will never be able to go back."
