swordsman in the heavens

Lujiazhuang is located on the border of Dashengguan. It is a landform surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountain behind it rises high and towers over the hills on the left and right. There is a large open wilderness in front, and a large river meanders through the wilderness.

The scenery is particularly beautiful. Standing in it and looking at the river makes people feel open and comfortable.

It was late autumn at this time, and the north wind was howling coldly, but in Lujiazhuang, thanks to the surrounding mountains, which blocked the cold wind to the north, it turned out to be a warm atmosphere. It seems that there is a reason to hold the Heroes Conference here.

Yes, firstly because of the good intentions of taking Dashengguan, and secondly because of the pleasant environment here.

After a long journey, Guo Jing has arrived at Lujiazhuang.

Peach blossoms are planted all around Lujiazhuang, and they are planted according to the layout of Peach Blossom Island. Although there are no flowers blooming due to the season, seeing these peach trees is enough to remind Guo Jing of missing Peach Blossom Island.

He got off the little red horse and sighed in his heart. Nearly five or six years had passed since he was invited to guard Xiangyang. After leaving Taohua Island, he never went back. He really missed him.

Many of the firsts in life happened on Peach Blossom Island, where he defeated Ouyang Feng and gained recognition from his father-in-law Huang Yaoshi, where he became sworn sworn brother with his adopted brother Zhou Botong, where he and Huang Rong had their first child, Guo Fu...

...Decades passed, and his wandering life ended on Peach Blossom Island, which was his first real home.

Alas, it's just that the country is in trouble, and he can't go back to his original leisurely life!

Then I thought of Huang Rong, a daughter of a famous family, who gave up her easy and comfortable life for a silly boy like me, and followed her to the frontier to suffer, and I couldn't help but feel guilty. I had to treat her well for the rest of my life and never let her go.

Feel a little wronged.

Guo Jing calmed down, took the little red horse, and strode towards Lujiazhuang.

At this time, the head of the Lu family, Lu Chengfeng, was already around sixty years old. However, due to his successful internal skills, rosy complexion, and energetic spirit, he did not look like an old man in his prime. However, his white hair and beard showed his true nature.

Age. At this time, Lu Chengfeng, who was living the life of a wealthy man, was quite leisurely. He gave birth to a son, Lu Guanying, who was a famous young chivalrous person in the world. He performed chivalrous acts all year round and earned Lujiazhuang the reputation of "Chivalrous Family".

Therefore, the heroes conference was held in Lujiazhuang, and people in the world had no objection. His daughter-in-law was called Cheng Jiayao, and she was the disciple of Sun Buer, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen. With this relationship, the Lu family had a higher status in the world.

It is stable and no one can underestimate it.

At this time, Lu Chengfeng can be said to have established a good family fortune, which is enough for him to be proud of. But what makes him even more proud is that he has one of the five best masters in the world, known as "Dong Xi"

"Huang Yaoshi. This is the fundamental reason why his Lu family is still standing in the world. It is also the reason why his son Lu Guanying has made more and more friends throughout the world instead of having few enemies who dare to provoke him.

According to his idea, as long as the situation continues to develop smoothly, his Lu family can become a martial arts family in the next generation. When the time comes, when the name of the Lu family is announced, people in the world will praise it. In order to achieve this goal

, he took the initiative to undertake all the arrangements for the Heroes Conference. In this way, the Lu family's reputation in the world will only become more famous.

Lujiazhuang is very large, with courtyards one after another and buildings one after another. The people who come to participate in the Heroes Conference will be arranged in the rooms in an orderly manner. When the conference starts, there will be another square for them.

A feast for all the tycoons.

At his side at this time was Master Wuse from the Shaolin sect. In response to Guo Jing's hero invitation, Master Wuse came to the meeting on behalf of Shaolin. He was originally a hero in the green forest, but later joined Shaolin. He was a forthright person with strong martial arts and Buddhist teachings.

He is exquisite and has a high status in the Shaolin Temple. He has been cultivated as the head of the next generation of Prajna Hall.

He came early and arrived at Lujiazhuang half a month ago. Lu Chengfeng received him. The two hit it off and hated each other. Lu Chengfeng was Huang Yaoshi's apprentice. He had learned hundreds of classics in his life, including Qimen Formation.

Dharma, the Book of Changes, Bagua, medical classics, poetry and music, etc., and Zen Master Wu Se was superb in Buddhism and had extensive knowledge and knowledge. The two of them knew each other as heroes, so they naturally sympathized with each other.

At this time, the two of them happened to be playing chess in the courtyard. As for the other people in the world, they had already been entertained by their son Lu Guanying after they met for the first time. Firstly, he wanted his son to make more friends;

He felt that those people in the world were of low status and reputation, so there was no need for him to entertain them personally.

On the chessboard, the black and white stones were fighting like a fire. Lu Chengfeng was holding the black stone and was painstakingly slaying the dragon, while the Wu Se Zen Master was moving step by step without giving the opponent a chance, and the fighting was in a state of turmoil. But after a while, the situation suddenly changed.

Master Wuse's Bai Zi unknowingly laid a trap, while Lu Chengfeng only focused on killing and fell into the trap without realizing it.

Zen Master Wu Se looked at Lu Chengfeng, who looked ugly, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu and I have played more than a hundred games in the past half month. We always lose more and win less. Can't you see why? You only care about killing.

Although my chess piece is brave and vigorous, it lacks stamina. If the two armies are facing each other, if they are evenly matched, they will not win with all their strength, but with a slow layout. Only in this way can they gradually encroach on the opponent's power and achieve the final victory."

After many years of Buddhist training, Zen Master Wu Se has long been indifferent to winning and losing. He has a sense of "letting go of the east, west, north, south," so he is always not arrogant towards Lu Chengfeng, who is as resourceful as himself.

He was impatient and slowly fell, regardless of temporary gains and losses, and finally set a trap for Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng put down the black stones in his hand, suddenly stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "I made you laugh, but I am happy and carefree. I never care about the rules when playing chess. If I am restricted, what's the point of playing chess? It's like walking in the rivers and lakes.

, If you can't be happy with your grudges and ride your horse freely, but you have to behave yourself, it will be more uncomfortable than death."

This is exactly the two people's different outlook on life. In their decades of experience, it is this outlook on life that guides their lives. They cannot simply talk about who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they see each other's achievements and make a difference.

After a lot of family business, a person who is about to become the head of the Prajna Hall of Shaolin Temple should be right.

They both know this and appreciate this in each other, which is why they have become close friends.

At this time, a servant suddenly came in from the courtyard door and hurriedly rushed to the two of them. Lu Chengfeng's face was a little dissatisfied, and he was in a hurry, how could he behave in front of the guests, but the servant's words surprised them all.

Interspersed.

The servant said: "Sir, Daxia Guo has arrived at Zhuangzi from Xiangyang and is waiting in the front hall now."

Lu Chengfeng and Zen Master Wu Se stood up suddenly, with surprise on their faces. Especially Lu Chengfeng, who threw away the words of blaming the servants that he had planned in his heart, and walked quickly towards the front hall with Zen Master Wu Se.

Guo Jing should be Lu Chengfeng's brother-in-law based on seniority, because Lu Chengfeng is Huang Rong's senior brother. But this is not the most important reason why Lu Chengfeng values ​​Guo Jing. It dates back to more than ten years ago, when the Kingdom of Jin was not destroyed.

At that time, Yang Kang was still the little prince of the Jin Kingdom. He was ordered to go south to the Song Dynasty and passed by Taihu Lake to Guiyun Village. It was really a catastrophe for Guiyun Village. If it weren't for Guo Jing and Huang Rong, there would also be several masters of Guo Jing's Jiangnan Seven Monsters.

If we help each other, there will be nothing like what happened to the Lu family later on.

Therefore, he was very close to Guo Jing. As soon as he heard that Guo Jing had come to Lujiazhuang, he happily ignored the fact that he had lost his composure in front of his guests and servants.

As for Zen Master Wu Se, he has a heroic temperament and respects heroes who are loyal, righteous and courageous like the people in the world. Who in the world doesn't know that Guo Jing is a first-class man and hero?

The two walked quickly. Lujiazhuang was very big, with courtyards one after another. This was Lu Chengfeng's great pride, but now they felt that the courtyard was too big and they couldn't see Guo Jing immediately. Finally, they arrived at the front hall.

, Guo Jing appeared in front of the two of them.

Over the years, Guo Jing's skills have become more and more profound. He has integrated the "Jin Guan Jade Lock Jue" and "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" he learned from the Quanzhen Sect, as well as the "Nine Yin Sutra" taught to him by Zhou Botong, and opened the door to Ren Du Er.

Internal energy circulates through the main meridians of the body, so the internal energy cultivation has surged sharply, and he has become one of the top masters in the world. What is reflected on the outside is that the aura is as high as the mountains and the abyss, giving people an incomprehensible feeling.

Meaning. Over the years he has been in charge of the army, his power has been astonishing, and his temperament has changed greatly. As the saying goes, "A good place to live is a good place to live, and a good body to be nourished." He has an awe-inspiring leader's demeanor all over him.

This made Lu Chengfeng and Zen Master Wuse shine, secretly thinking what a great hero Guo!

Before Lu Chengfeng arrived, he had already started shouting: "Junior Brother Guo, I'm rude for not saying anything in advance when I'm here. I really deserve a beating." As soon as he finished speaking, the person arrived in front of Guo Jing, and he smiled.

His face was full of the feeling of fighting.

Guo Jing smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lu, do we still need to be so polite in our friendship?"

Although Guo Jing was not Huang Yaoshi's apprentice, because of Huang Rong's relationship, they called each other brothers.

Lu Chengfeng said: "That's natural. You and I really don't need to pay attention to these false etiquette."

At this time, Zen Master Wu Se had also arrived in front of Guo Jing. He smiled and clasped his hands together and said, "Hello, Mr. Guo. I have heard about Mr. Guo's reputation for loyalty for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed a dragon among men."

Guo Jing saw Zen Master Wu Se's steady steps and the bulging temples on his forehead, so he knew that the master had deep internal energy. Looking at the cassock on his body, he could clearly tell that the master was an eminent monk from the Songshan Shaolin Temple. In the Shaolin Temple, there were many eminent monks who had attained enlightenment. After all,

Which one he was, he didn't know.

Guo Jing immediately returned the gift and said: "Master came from Shaolin to work for the righteousness of the world. Guo Jing would like to thank you here."

Seeing that Guo Jing was so respectful to him, Zen Master Wu Se was even more delighted.

Lu Chengfeng introduced: "Junior brother, you guessed it right. This is Zen Master Wuse from Shaolin Temple. He has profound cultivation and is generous. You two will definitely get along."

Just as the three of them were about to sit down and talk in detail, another servant hurried over and said loudly: "There are...three Mongolian soldiers coming towards our village."
