Jianghuxing

After the county to the Hunyuan boundary, Heng Mountain seems to fall from the sky like appearing in front of you, than the previous see of the Wutai Mountain range and a lot more magnificent, in the snow full of pines and cypresses can hardly see where the end of the mountain is, the green mountain and the gray sky into a line, only thick clouds roll the wind and snow, blowing from all directions.

There is a small town at the foot of Heng Mountain, Huang Haitang ordered the coachman to rest and wait here, so he and I added another thick coat, wrapped our nose and mouth in cotton cloth, and entered the mountain in the wind and snow.

The two of us didn't say anything all the way, obviously each with their own thoughts. Although I don't know what she was thinking, my mind was full of the amazing stunt of Zhao Yun who stabbed seven people in Maocheng that day. Although I have also seen Liu Bei's Mozi swordsmanship, the ruthless swordsmanship of assassinating with Mozi swordsmanship under the guise of the dragon sword, it is simply not worth mentioning under Zhao Zilong's white silver spear. Whether it was against the miscellaneous soldiers and thieves, or the senior brother of the city lord and his fellow disciples, it seemed that Zhao Yun had never made a second move, and he stabbed the ground of Jiuquan with a unified gun, and the speed of the move was so accurate and ruthless that it was unbelievable. And today, I want to gamble my life with such a person. Originally, I didn't care if I died, I was dead, my skills were not as good as others, and I had nothing to say, but I was implicated in the master-apprentice dispute between Huang Haitang and Tong Yuan, who are famous in the world, if I couldn't even catch Zhao Yun's shot, I don't know how Huang Haitang should gain a foothold in this river and lake after I die.

In the remaining months, Huang Haitang didn't teach me anything new, and in addition to the usual pranayama and qi cultivation on weekdays, he continued to hone his basic skills. Huang Haitang means that the gap between the strength of me and Zhao Yun is too big, and instead of bothering to fight wits and skill with him, I fell into the trap of the other party. In Huang Haitang's opinion, Zhao Yun's gun path is a clever one, so if you want to take advantage of Zhao Yun technically, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and it is to show your shortcomings to fight others' strengths, and there is no chance of winning.

Therefore, Huang Haitang continued to teach me the most basic knife movement, with the goal of chopping wood and cutting trees every day, mastering the essentials, cutting one knife after another again and again, and the same knife method requires me to practice to the point that I can practice one-handed knives, left-handed knives and even backhand knives to make it like a fish in water, so as not to be scrapped by Zhao Yun and still maintain combat effectiveness after an arm. When Huang Haitang was basically satisfied with these things, she found a big shield for me and said: "I fought with your sword and shield once in Guo Yan's mansion, I think you still have some talent in this area, you might as well try this, as long as you can guarantee that you don't let Zhao Yun come up and stab you to death with one shot." Then

I practiced the sword and shield fighting diligently day and night, and before I knew it, I also achieved a small success, just when I was indulging in the little progress every day, the day came. On the way, I always wanted to ask "what if I can't beat it" or "what if I get killed by a shot", but when the words came to my mouth, I thought that if I couldn't beat it, I would definitely be dead, and at that time, I would care what to do and what to do, and I would be dead, and I just hoped that I would go to a peaceful and rich realm in the next world, and I would not have the leisure to care about these Raush things.

Halfway up the mountain, suddenly someone shouted the sound of drinking from the mountain. I was taken aback, and then went to see Huang Haitang, but saw that she seemed to be extremely receptive to this voice, and a faint smile appeared on her face, which made me even more surprised: Did she already know that there were people in this half of the mountain?

When the four saw us ascending the mountain, two of them hurriedly stood up and strode towards us. The other two got up unhurriedly and saluted Huang Haitang from a distance.

The two men ran to the front and realized that they were very burly, both of them were broad-mouthed, about thirty or forty years old, and they looked about the same age as Zhou Qian and Fu Kun. The two of them knelt down together and bowed to Huang Haitang and said, "Master, your old man is fine, I haven't seen you for several years since Jingzhou was separated

, and I miss it very much!" I was shocked, I didn't expect that these two big men were actually my senior brothers, and they were also Huang Haitang's disciples in the early years. Seeing Huang Haitang smile and return the salute, I gave him a hand: "Little brother Gao Shun, meet the two senior brothers." The two of them hurriedly bowed to me with respectful faces.

Since the year since I came out of Jinyang, most of the people I met were either despised or underestimated to me, and I had never been so polite and polite to me like his two senior brothers, which made me suddenly feel that I had become a big man in the rivers and lakes, and I couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, but more of gratitude and happiness, not for anything else, just for the kindness of the two of them, if they need my help in the future, it must be to risk their lives to help others.

Just when I was thinking about it here, one of the men said respectfully to Huang Haitang: "Master, the two of them are the two most prestigious apprentices under Tong Yuan, and the taller one is Zhang Xiu, the powerful man of the martial arts, and he is the one who is called the king of guns in the north by the people of the rivers and lakes." Recently, Nangong Boyu caused trouble in Xiliang, together with Bian Zhang Han Sui and others also followed the army, and a general named Lisheng under his command led the troops to attack Zu Li, and killed Liu Jun, the assassin of Nayizhou, this embroidery broke into the enemy camp with a single gun after learning about it, and shot Na Lisheng to death in front of all the soldiers and retreated, and recently his fame in the Xiliang area has skyrocketed, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while!" Huang Haitang heard it and smiled: "This is quite similar to the temperament of Tong Lao'er." The

man said again: "The one next to Zhang Xiu is his fellow disciple Zhang Ren, a native of Shu County, who is an official in Yizhou. This person is different from the heroic and unrestrained Zhang Xiu, very low-key, inconspicuous, and his official position is not very high, but he has a prestige in Yizhou, ranking second among the fourteen fierce generals in Xichuan. I heard that this person should be ranked first in terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, but he respects the veteran Yan Yan and voluntarily ranks behind Yan Yan, which is also very admirable. After hearing this, Huang Haitang raised his eyebrows and said: "I am not very old to have such a heart for the city, and my prestige will not be under Zhang Xiu in the future." After a pause, Huang Haitang asked again: "How do you compare with him?" The man's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "The prestige of martial arts is not as good as him." Huang Haitang snorted, obviously seeing that there was a hidden displeasure between his eyebrows, the man hurriedly knelt down in the snow, Huang Haitang pulled him up and said: "Alas, I can't blame you for this, I can only say that I, who is a master, is too playful." Other people's masters are paving the way for their apprentices and grandchildren in the imperial court, and it is no wonder that people are making steady progress.

At this time, another man who had not spoken on the side smiled and said: "Master Hugh wants to listen to Han Sheng's nonsense, he is not ambitious in Jingzhou, first, because there are too many local families in Jingzhou, and Han Sheng is not a local, so he will naturally be excluded; That

is called Han Sheng's displeasure and said: "Brother Liu Panyi has the grace of knowing me, if he hadn't been in front of King Liu Jingsheng at the beginning, I would still be farming in Nanyang now." Brother Liu Panyi was ordered to be stationed in Youxian, so I naturally wanted to help him. Huang Haitang listened and said to the laughing man: "Don't joke about it, your knife skills are not as proficient as Han Sheng, besides, people's blessings are first and late, and it may not necessarily be that Han Sheng's official position after Han Sheng is not as good as you." The man who was called Gongfu immediately smiled when he heard Huang Haitang say this, and said solemnly: "What the master said is true."

At this time, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren also came to the front and greeted Huang Haitang: "The younger generation has seen Uncle Huang." "Before this, although I knew that Huang Haitang was the master of the world, but I saw with my own eyes that the same world-famous Northland Spear King and the Xichuan Fourteen Fierce Generals were still so polite to Huang Haitang, and I really saw what the prestige of the world's four best people was.

Huang Haitang was slightly surprised and said: "You two are both officials in the court, and besides, the Xiliang area has not been restless recently, how can you two still have the kung fu to leave behind the military aircraft and run to this Tianfeng Ridge to join in the fun?"

Zhang Xiu and the two glanced at each other, and Zhang Ren said: " To tell you the truth, since the last time Uncle Li and my disciple Long failed to win, I have been depressed since I went back, and I learned that we had to come after the battle in Tianfengling, my master was afraid that he would suddenly hurt Zilong, so he wrote to me that the two of us must come to mediate, and his old man took Zilong to visit his old friend in Youzhou, in order to avoid Uncle Li.

Huang Haitang couldn't stop giggling when he heard this, and said: "This Senior Brother Li is so superbly used with a three-foot long sword, how can he be so petty and childish, how can he be so entangled with a junior? Besides, I killed more than 30 other people in the barren mountains and mountains that day, and today I am afraid that even I will seek revenge together." So

saying, we went up the mountain together. This embroidery and Zhang Ren originally came in disguise, both wearing the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary peasant families, presumably for fear of being recognized on the way and causing unnecessary delays. When you arrive at the top of Tianfeng Ridge, there is a vast field in the snow, and there are mountain temples in the forest, which are like being carved out on this cliff.

When I got closer, I saw that the plaque of the temple was written with four gilded characters of "Beiyue Zhenwu", but the years have been long, and only the glyphs have been peeled off by the wind and rain in the mountains. The stone lions on the left and right sides of the temple gate are more than one person high, squatting majestically at the extreme height of this Tianfeng Ridge. Entering the temple and coming to the main hall hall, a smell of roasting fire came to the face, and then the warmth slowly rose from the bottom to the top, and then saw a large brazier lit in the hall, thirty or fifty people looked at us silently in the corner of the hall, and in front of the brazier sat a thin old man, who was looking at us coldly.
