Chapter 751 Xu Fengnian is visiting Wudang, and the royal family is seeking to attack Beiliang
The rivers and lakes of Beiliang have never been so lively.
With Xuanyuan Qingfeng’s help, many martial arts heroes were already heading north to the border with blood. At this moment, news came out of Wudang Mountain that a new Buddhist debate was going to be held, which gave many people in the martial arts world who didn’t want to get involved in the battle between Liangmang: Let’s not wander in the muddy waters, but just take a detour to Wudang Mountain to see the excitement. Everyone knows that the scenery of the eighty-one peaks on the top of the mountain is extremely spectacular, not to mention that Lu Zu and the immortal Hong Xixiang riding a crane to the south of the Yangtze River are all here to practice Taoism, so it’s better to eat the fairy spirit. For a time, there were many people from outside the country who were hiding into the two prefectures of Youliang. As the local snake in Beiliang, under the personal management of the leader Liu Nirong, the gang members not only took the initiative to lead the way for friends in the martial arts world and bear all the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also if someone thinks it is not good enough to travel with others, then as long as they rely on the road to be named in the branches of the various counties of the Yulong Gang, they can get a heavy car and horse fee. As for whether they really go to Wudang Mountain, whether they are drunk or have a big fish and meat halfway through, the wealthy Yulong Gang will not really care about it. This invisibly also improved the Yulong Gang’s status in the Central Plains. It is true that there are not many top experts in the Yulong Gang, but they can’t stop others from being rich enough to rival a country. If you want to be comfortable in the world, you just rely on your fists and your waist bags to be bulging. Otherwise, you think you are the King of Beiliang in Yushu. I heard that he was the one who was looking for revenge on Qingliang Mountain in his early years before practicing martial arts. From then on, he was willing to be hidden in the golden house in the wutong courtyard of the royal palace… The great master of martial arts can be counted with one hand, the Tao Sword God Deng Tai’a was too divine dragon but not the tail, and the great official Cao Changqing was not young after all, and Tuoba Bodhisattva was even a natural and unpleasant barbarian. Then Xu Fengnian, who was in his prime and feats, became the most interesting topic of conversation for the people of Liyang Jianghu after dinner. Many martial arts heroes and green forest heroes who have just gone to Beiliang are even more eye-opening. The brothels are a big shot, so they say that they have warmed up for Xu Fengnian. Any fortune teller on the roadside of Liangzhou dares to say that they have tested the divination for our prince back then. The wine shops and teahouses also shouted that the King of Beiliang was very praiseworthy about his signature goods, especially those shops selling rouge and water powder, and they even swear that Xu Fengnian had bought things for their confidantes. What made the young hero and the young master feel the most sad is that this is obviously a bully of the store, but the female heroes and fairies accompanying him are like ghosts. They bought a lot of bottles and jars that are expensive and unpaid in those shops. The key is that the real suckers who are like money, and they are the masters who protect them.
When the rivers and lakes of Beiliang were hustle and bustle, it happened to be the time when the custom of Beiliang would fall to the willows was the most prosperous. Children of wealthy families in Northern Liang would ride horses and shoot in the countryside or martial arts field, hang any object on the branches, and put a bow to shoot it down, which is called rolling willows. When those men from other places saw many women from Northern Liang, they alsoAfter being skilled in the bow and horse, I was inevitably a little scared. I used to hear that the people in Beiliang were strong, but now I am sure what I said is not false. Most of the men and women in Northern Liang tied white hemp silk on their arms. After asking, they found out that the people in Northern Liang had to tie hemp to pay tribute to their deceased relatives within one month after taking off their mourning clothes. This is somewhat similar to the Central Plains family’s arms tied with colorful silk threads in the middle of the summer season to prevent ghosts and cure diseases. This is also shocking. Could it be that Beiliang really died in the border of Hutou City and Youzhou Hulukou. Why did so many people die in the hometown of Central Plains before that the Beiliang border army faced the embarrassment of a million troops in Beimang? It either retreated without fighting or collapsed at a touch. I heard that the two Liaos, who were in charge of the Dazhu Kingdom, and his son-in-law Yuan Tingshan, both had good news. After entering Beiliang, I saw with my own eyes that except for the children of Beiliang who were riding and shooting, it made people feel ashamed, and the patrol racquets drawn from the troops in Beiliang were awe-inspiring. These cavalry, which are said to have far inferior to those of the border cavalry, if they really take them out to fight the so-called elite troops in the hometown, they would not be like a top master in the first-class realm crushing the second-class master.
Most people from other places heard two legendary new news when they started climbing the mountain or approaching Wudang: King Xu Fengnian of Beiliang led the ten thousand cavalry of Youzhou to fight outside Hulukou, and this time he was single outside Hutou City, killing Dong Zhuo, the king of Beimang South Court. The notorious Northern Liang guard Chu Lushan personally led 8,000 cavalry troops from Huaiyang Pass to the northeastern border of Liuzhou, and overcame 30,000 Dongjia private troops. Everyone hates the evil people, but if this evil person is his own family, it is actually quite reassuring to think about it. Chu Lushan, the big devil who made children cry, was the most suitable place to place it in the border of Beiliang. It would not harm the Central Plains, but also make the Beimang barbarians feel bad. From this point of view, Xu Fengnian became the King of Northern Liang. If he didn’t mention other achievements, it would be a great merit just to be able to subdue Fatty Chu and let him stay outside Liangzhou Pass.
For this Buddhist and Taoist battle that should have been held at the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Demon Slaying Platform two years ago, Xu Fengnian specially rushed from Huaiyang Pass to the Liangyou junction from Huaiyang Pass. Of course, he was not showing off to come to Wudang Mountain, but the Fushuifang spies said that two groups of people were coming here to join in the fun. One side was Duanmao Deng Mao and Yelu Dongshu who followed Luoyang into Liyang. They seemed to no longer deliberately hide their whereabouts after entering Youzhou. The other side is even more strange. It is a couple who can be called the only one in the world. Xu Fengnian pays more attention to it than the couple in Huyan Daguan, because the man is Li Nangxin, a monk in white, the nominal abbot of the two Zen temples that have been sealed off the mountain gate, and the father of a girl who has long been determined to be a female hero.
The arrival of the monk in white has largely made Xiaolianfeng’s debate on Buddhism and Taoism legitimate. Otherwise, since the head of Wudang, Li Yufu, was not on the mountain, the Taoist man who debated with Buddhism was a Taoist priest who had never heard of even many people in Northern Liang. He was a disciple of Song Zhiming. It is rumored that this person had just beenThe small pillar peak is built to practice. There are eighty-one peaks in Wudang. There are Taoist Taoist temples and Taoist temples in the peaks, and most of the peaks are kept in the deep boudoir and people are unaware of them. There are only twelve peaks in Wudang Mountain, among which the Big and Big Lotus Peak is the most famous. Yuzhu Peak, known as “the world’s internal strength produces jade pillars”, is also very famous. From this, it can be seen that the Taoist priest named Han Gui can be regarded as being able to stand alone. I think there should be some Taoist practices. In addition, Qingshan Temple was invested in Qingliang Mountain to the later gift of treasured classics by the King of Northern Liang, and the status of Xiaozhu Peak naturally rose. Wudang Mountain is one of the Taoist ancestral courts that have been separated from Longhu Mountain from north to south for hundreds of years, and the highest generation of gods, Wang Chonglou first passed away. Hong Xixiang, who had a great cultivation level, had to reincarnate himself for some reason. The sword-fierce Wang Xiaoping blocked the road, Wang Xianzhi died heroically on the banks of the Guangling River. Song Zhiming, who had lived two more karma, also died. Now only the real person of the ruler Chen Yao, and Yu Xingrui, who laughed at himself as “not being able to cultivate immortals, he had to cultivate his strength”. The latter was also the person who knew the wise eyes of the pearl and brought Li Yu Axe to Wudang from Donghai. There are more than 20 Taoist priests of the Wudang generation with Li Yufu and Han Gui. There are more than 60 Taoist priests of the next generation of Qing, Ning, Ling and Zhen, especially the Ling and Zhen generations. Unlike the rivers of Longhu Mountain, the silence of Wudang Mountain has become increasingly prosperous. There are more than 600 Taoist priests of the Zhen generation, which are now unwilling to accept disciples.
Go up the mountain to burn incense. In the past, whether it is the relatively rich people of Lingzhou or the pilgrims of Jihe, they all climbed from the South Shinto, which is the most beautiful scenery and the best way to go. Xu Fengnian chose North Shendao to go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the great appeal of the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism. Apart from the 700-800 Jianghu people, most of the rich people from the three states of Beiliang arrived on bicycles and horses, and even many people came to Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road, burning incense and watching the battle. The mountain road in Wudang North Shendao is not wide, and it is even more coincidental that it started drizzling from early morning today. The rainy weather did not block the road, but the muddy road caused people to suffer. Coupled with the continuous trampling of those who are moving forward, the 20-mile rugged mountain road is even more tiring than walking on the 50-mile official road.
Xu Fengnian did not follow him when he arrived in Wudang Mountain. In order to hurry, he did not even ride a horse. Instead, he chose a secluded path and flew like a bird, so he seemed particularly dusty. He was wearing a blue shirt and two knives hung from his left and right waist. One was the crossing of the river that he “snatched people’s love” from Jiang Fuding’s hand, and the other was an ordinary standard scorch.
At noon, Xu Fengnian took a break in a simple restaurant on the entrance to the entrance of Beishindo. The restaurant’s name is also interesting, called “Gucun Store”, probably to remind pilgrims who have come from afar that will not have this store after passing through this village. The restaurant was already crowded, all of whom were hoping to get up the mountain as soon as possible to climb the main peak of Wudang as soon as possible. Xu Fengnian could only sit with more than ten people on the small bamboo stool under the eaves to hide from the rain. If you want to eat hot rice and drink hot wine, you have to wait in line. Xu Fengnian asked for a pot of tea. The tea was under the banner of Wudang’s “Tao Tea”. A pot of tea the size of a palm dared to speak out loud, asking for a price of 25 cents!Xu Fengnian held a pot in one hand and the cup in the other. After a few sips, she drank it all. Then she added water to the restaurant clerk, and had to pay another five cents. Obviously, not only Xu Fengnian felt that he was slaughtered, but the pilgrims around him also complained a lot. Several young and bad-tempered people even felt disgusted with Wudang, saying that Ye Zhiqiu was like this at the foot of the mountain, and the Wudang Taoist priests on the mountain thought that they were so stinking. They all heard their accents, and some local pilgrims in Beiliang who often go to the mountains to burn incense frowns. An old man smiled and persuaded him a few words, saying that even the incense candles were given by Wudang when he went to the mountains to burn incense, and he did not charge a penny for the pilgrims. Of course, how much incense is willing to give in the future, whether it is a penny or a few taels, it is nothing more than doing what you can. The old man also said that he had come here to burn incense three or four times a year since he was young, but he really didn’t meet a Wudang Taoist who took the initiative to ask him to pay.
When the old man spoke, many outsiders who were curious about Wudang Mountain became interested. Someone asked the old man if he had seen Wudang leader Li Yufu. The old man laughed and said, “I have seen him, why haven’t I seen him? Not only Master Li, but I have seen him from Master Wang who cut off the river with one finger to Master Hong who rode a crane to the south of the Yangtze River. I have seen him, especially Master Hong, who had signed the sign for me back then. This is not my boast. In fact, I have seen many pilgrims. You may still meet Master Chen or Master Yu to explain the sign for you. Unfortunately, I heard that Master Li went down the mountain and traveled far away.”
“Then it is true that you King Beiliang had practiced martial arts in Wudang Mountain back then.”
“Of course, I have asked two real people of the Qing generation who have been familiar with for many years. It is true. It is said that our prince had been close to Master Hong a long time ago. One person practiced martial arts and the other practiced Taoism on the mountain, and strengthened each other. That relationship is really good.”
A young girl from another place asked shyly: “Old man, isn’t you Beiliang really as romantic as the outside world?”
“How can this be fake! The son of the general and the princess have no appearance! Haha, you don’t have to be ashamed, this little girl. There are so many women in our Beiliang who want to marry the prince.”
When the old man said this, he pointed at Xu Fengnian who was sitting not far away drinking tea, and joked with the little girl, “Look, our prince is as handsome as this young man.”
