Golden Greenery

Yangyi calculated that Ruda is 74 years old this year.

Xu Zhu has spent half his life hiding on the snowy plateau, which is almost the horizon to the Central Plains, not only to hide from his wife Li Qinglu, but also to avoid the right and wrong of the martial arts world in the Central Plains. He is actually isolated from external things.

But as soon as Yang heard the word "Black Iron Heavy Sword", he immediately knew that this guy was Rudar Zhishen.

But Luda, who came to the Guge Kingdom a few years ago specifically to compete with Xu Zhu, didn't say his name, didn't wear a monk's robe, he just looked like a burly old man.

Xu Zhu asked Luda: "How did you know I'm here?"

Ruda said: "I defeated your sworn brother Duan Yu at Dali Shuanglong Temple, and he told me that you were hiding here."

Xu Zhu suddenly realized that only Duan Yu knew.

The Guge Kingdom is in the west of the Tubo Plateau, and the Dali Kingdom is in the east of the plateau. Although the journey is far away, you don't have to go through Xixia and the Central Plains. Xu Zhu has visited Duan Yu several times in Dali during the decades of hiding.

Xu Zhu said that Duan Yu had been the king of Dali for more than 30 years and was finally bored. When his four sons grew up, they fought openly and secretly all day long, and the Dali court became full of chaos. Duan Yu simply abdicated the throne to his eldest son Duan Zhengxing, and became a monk in Shuanglong Temple with the Buddhist name "Guanghong".

The old Duan family has a tradition of becoming a king first and then a monk, which is not unusual.

Shuanglong Temple is the royal temple of Dali and the foundation of Dali martial arts. After Duan Yu became a monk, he no longer had to worry about the secular world. He was obsessed with Buddhism and martial arts, and he improved in martial arts. Xu Zhu knew this.

But such a powerful Duan Yu actually lost to Lu Da, Xu Zhu was really surprised. It was probably because Duan Yu suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Da and was a little unconvinced that he 'betrayed' Xu Zhu and asked Xu Zhu to help him vent his anger.

Lu Da told Xu Zhu that he had defeated all famous and unknown sects in the Central Plains, including the Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Clan, without losing a single one. He really couldn't find an opponent, so he remembered legendary figures such as Duan Yu and Xu Zhu.

The two immediately began to spar, and the fight lasted all day and night, regardless of the outcome.

After resting for two days, Luda put down the black iron heavy sword in his hand and sparred with Xu Zhu again with his bare hands.

Lu Da said that he realized that he had no sword in his hand but a sword in his heart. He finally realized his own swordsmanship under Xu Zhu's strong pressure.

Luda, who seemed to have a sword without a sword, defeated Xu Zhu after one hundred and fifty moves. He was the real number one in the world.

Xu Zhu was sincerely convinced by Lu Da.

Luda was also very grateful to Xu Zhu for helping him realize the way of swordsmanship. The two old men cherished each other and talked about martial arts here for half a year before Luda said goodbye and left.

Xu Zhu asked him what his name was, and Lu Da said: "I forgot my name, the past me is dead. My master is a nameless person, and I have no name like him."

"However, Brother Xu Zhuzi, if you hear about a person named Dugu Qiubai in the future, it will be me."

Ten Thousand Swords returned to the sect, turning all eighteen weapons into sword skills, and then turning all sword skills into no swords. Luda cultivated his swordsmanship and became Dugu Qiubai.

Dugu Qiubai walked away carrying his black iron heavy sword, saying that he would leave this sword to a destined person in the future.

"Master, do you know who this Dugu Qiubai is?"

Yang Yi laughed so hard that he was out of breath. "Hahaha... Xu Zhu, this bastard is your junior brother, hahaha... your own junior brother who is stepping on your shoulders, hahahaha..."

Xu Zhu was not frightened this time, he was used to it.

.

Half a year after the master-disciple reunion, Xu Zhu left the Guge Kingdom and returned to the Central Plains. It was not that he wanted to go to Dugu Qiu for another competition, but after being enlightened by Master Yang Yi, he finally let go of his psychological burden and returned to the Beggar Clan with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Dog Beating Stick Techniques.

The Dragon Subduing Palm and Dog Beating Stick Techniques are the unique martial arts skills of the Beggar Clan and are also the secrets of the Beggar Clan.

The industry of beggars has a long history. The founder is Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the transformation from beggars to an organized gang of beggars took place during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. At that time, the world was in constant war and people were displaced, creating social conditions for beggars to gather on a large scale.

Zhuang Yifang was a general under Huang Chao. He first organized the homeless people who had no food and clothing in the Dongting Lake area. Later, Huang Chao died, and Zhuang Yifang was regarded as the first leader of the Beggar Clan by his descendants.

Zhuang Yifang had good boxing and kicking skills. After that, the Taishan Red Eyebrow Ancestor combined his Ten Red Eyebrow Palms with Zhuang Yifang's palm techniques to form a special martial art for the leader of the Beggar Clan, with a total of twenty-eight moves. The original name was Paiyun Palm. .

The Dragon Subduing Palm got its name from the third-generation gang leader Wu Tieqiao. Some people say that his true identity is Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Zhao Kuangyin. That night, after the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle, Zhao Kuangyin's head was missing. Everyone in the palace surrendered to Zhao Guangyi. Only Zhao Dezhao cursed and then hit a pillar and committed suicide.

It is said that he did not die, but was smuggled out of the palace by eunuchs and lived in the world. Later, he changed his name and became the leader of the Beggar Clan. He named the gang leader's special palm technique 'Dragon Subduing Palm', so it was self-evident who it was aimed at.

The dog-beating stick rules come from Yang Yanhui, Yang Silang, a member of the Yang family. In the Battle of Jinshatan Beach, Yang Laolinggong died in battle, and Yang Wulang became a monk and later became a clever monk in Shaolin Temple. Yang Silang was captured, and later he changed his name to Mu Yi and became a couple with Princess Tiejing of the Liao Kingdom for more than ten years.

When Shiro visited his mother, he met Wu Tieqiao by chance in the Central Plains. He recognized who he was, so he combined his Yang family's marksmanship with the Beggar Gang's Liuhe Spear, turned the gun into a stick, created the dog-beating stick method, and taught it to the martial arts leader.

Since then, the Dragon Subduing Palm and Dog Beating Stick techniques have become special martial arts techniques passed down from generation to generation by the Beggar Clan leaders, and they are also the status symbols of the Clan leaders. Qiao Feng is the ninth generation gang leader. He inherited the Dragon Subduing Palm and Dog Beating Stick techniques from Wang Jiantong, the eighth generation gang leader.

Traditionally, the previous successor passed down the succession to the next, but something happened when Qiao Feng came here. He was expelled from the Beggar Clan because his identity was exposed. He had no chance to teach these two martial arts to the next You Tanzhi, so after Qiao Feng, he was expelled from the Beggar Clan. No one knows how to be a gang leader.

Qiao Feng is a hero. Although he is a Khitan, he is full of feelings for the Song Dynasty and the Beggar Gang. He has always wanted to return these two unique skills to the leader of the Beggar Gang.

So, when he went to Xixia that year, he told his sworn brother Xu Zhu about this. Moreover, Qiao Feng was a great talent in martial arts. He thought that the twenty-eight moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm were a bit complicated and should be more refined, so he invited Xu Zhu to help him study the details.

Xu Zhu is also a martial arts prodigy. In a short period of time, he learned the Dragon Subduing Palm and Dog Beating Stick techniques from his elder brother Qiao Feng. He promised not to use them himself and would find an opportunity to pass them on to the leader of the Beggar Clan.

Once I find this opportunity, I will spend most of my life. After Qiao Feng died, Xu Zhu had already simplified and refined the Dragon Subduing Palm into eighteen moves, which he called the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he himself was also embarrassed to go to the Central Plains.

He truthfully told Yang Yi about his mental disorder. Knowing that Yang Yi was going back to the Central Plains, he said: Master, can you learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique? Give it to the current leader of the Beggar Clan, so that the disciple's worries can be settled, and he can be worthy of Brother Qiao Feng.

Yang Yi rolled his eyes at him and said directly that he was not interested.

"Xu Zhu, fulfill your promise by yourself. I have never taught you to break your promise."

Xu Zhu blushed with embarrassment. Yang Yi was actually motivating him to go back. It was really heartbreaking for such a good little old man to die on the plateau.

So, the 88-year-old apprentice left the Guge Kingdom with his 24-year-old master and his wife. Yang Yi didn't know how old he was, so he simply followed his wife A Ke.

There was also Adiao Lindatra, and the four of them walked down the plateau and headed towards the Central Plains. Of those who followed the Saint from Persia, after the battle with Salamon half a year ago, only seven were left. Later, they died of their injuries, and three more died one after another.

There are four people left, three men and one woman. They are all a bit older and have quite good martial arts skills. They were tired of the fighting in this world and planned to spend the rest of their lives in this paradise. They asked the saint to allow them to stay.

Xu Zhu gave them the National Master's Palace on the Bugda Ban Peak, and asked his sworn brother Dezugu, the King of Guge, to confer on them the title of 'Guardian Protector'. Yang Yi also gave them the Holy Fire Order seized from Salamon. This thing was useless in the Central Plains. It was left to them just so that the martial arts of the Persian Zoroastrian Cult would not be lost.

Salamon originally had four Holy Fire Tokens, two of which were used as weapons in the hands of the Dark Messenger. They were taken away by Okili during the Sun-Moon War, and the other was lost by Salamon when he escaped.

Xu Zhu still had some martial arts writings in the secret room under the Imperial Master's Palace, and they were all handed over to the four people who shared life and death with the Saint.

Before parting with tears, they asked the saint to light the fire niche in the hall with her own hands, which represented the holy fire and the saint who was inseparable. In the snowy mountains five thousand miles away from the main altar of Zoroastrianism in Persia, a lonely holy fire was lit.

"Holy Girl, Holy Fire God of War, please give this place a name."

"The sun and the moon shine together, and the light lasts forever. It's called Guangmingding."
