Only I know the rivers and lakes

Chapter 60
As early as more than [-] years ago, Huashan sent brothers Yue Su and Cai Zifeng to the Putian Shaolin Temple as guests, during which time they secretly read the peerless martial arts "Sunflower Treasure" in the temple.

Due to the rush of time, they didn't have time to read the whole book, so the two had to memorize half of it each. When they returned to Huashan to study together, they couldn't match each other.

Due to the differences in the precious scriptures they saw, they differed in their martial arts by emphasizing qi and epee, and passed them on to their disciples, which later led to the division of the Huashan School into two schools of qi and sword.

Jian Zong Kung Fu is easy to master and has very quick results. After practicing the two sects for ten years each, Jian Zong gained the upper hand.

After 20 years of practice, those who practiced Qizong Kungfu gradually became stronger and stronger.

After 30 years, those who practice Jianzong Kungfu will no longer be able to hold a candle to Qizong.

However, the disciples of the Sword Sect were stubborn to the end and refused to admit defeat. They were completely defeated in the sword competition on Jade Girl Peak 25 years ago, but most of them committed suicide with their swords. The remaining ones who survived quietly went into seclusion and never showed up in the martial arts world again.

These stories are not secrets. It can be said that people who have reached a higher level basically know it, and there is another thing related to it.

The abbot of Putian Shaolin Temple, Hongye Zen Master, noticed that Yuesu and Cai Zifeng secretly read the treasured book. Zen Master Hongye did not pursue the responsibility, but sent his proud disciple Du Yuan to Mount Hua to persuade Yue and Cai not to study the treasured book. of martial arts.

However, Monk Duyuan learned some precious scriptures from Yue and Cai. After leaving Huashan, he recorded the incomplete scriptures on his cassock.

After Du Yuan returned to vulgarity, he took the name Lin Yuantu. He learned 72 ways of warding off evil swordsmanship from the fragments of "Sunflower Treasure", and founded the Fuwei Escort Bureau, which was wiped out by Qingcheng in March this year.

However, there is a little-known secret hidden in this series of well-known allusions.

More than thirty years ago, a martial arts family in Huangshan had a grudge against the Huashan sect and was almost exterminated except for a stunningly beautiful woman, Li Qi.

In order to avoid disaster, Li Qi took a merchant ship east to Fuso, and later married Iga Ryuten Kaede Jushiro while he was ill.

After getting married, Li Qi had another adventure, and in just a few years she learned an amazing martial art, which she kept from Tianfeng Shishilang.

After giving birth to two boys for Tianfeng Shishilang, Li Qi, who was eager for revenge, left without saying goodbye when the eldest son was six years old. Feng Qingyang, the strongest martial artist, pursued and killed him from the mountain.

Because of this, Huashan Sword Sect's strength was greatly damaged, and the Yunv Peak Grand Competition was completely defeated. Afterwards, Li Qi disappeared, and Feng Qingyang also disappeared. No one knew what the result of the thousand-mile chase was.

This is the link between Li Zhidao's "Xiaoao" and "Liuxiang".

Why are these old stories suddenly brought up?
Because of Nangong Ling.

When Li Qi left Dongying, his youngest son was still in his infancy. Tianfeng Shishilang brought his two children to Central Earth in grief. He searched hard for a year, but found nothing.

In desperation, Tianfeng Shishilang makes an appointment with Master Tianfeng of the Shaolin Temple in Putian, begging Master Tianfeng to adopt his eldest son at the price of a hard palm, and then repeats the same trick and entrusts the youngest son to Ren Ci, the elder of the beggar gang.

Nangongling is the second son of Li Qi and Tianfeng Shishilang.

More and more plot characters appeared on the stage, and Li Zhidao was still not sure whether it was a problem with the restriction of the plot rating, or the result of the system's deliberate adjustment after increasing the difficulty.

It's okay if it's the latter, but if it's the former, it's the prelude to the collapse of the plot.

If the plot really collapsed now, with his strength as a top-notch master, there is no hope of turning it around, and this Zhongwu plane is not far from the end.

After discussing with Master Ziyang and Ren Ci in the living room for a while, Ren Ci ordered Nangong Ling to take Master Ziyang and Li Zhidao to the guest room to rest.

After settling in the guest room, Taoist Master Ziyang meditated and adjusted his breath to heal his injuries. Li Zhidao, under the leadership of Nangong Ling, became familiar with the defense layout of Xingzi Forest. Because of Huang Rong's request, he also had to bear a share of the responsibility.

Xingzi Forest covers an area of ​​[-] to [-] mu. Even though there are a large number of Beggar Sect disciples, it is impossible to completely monitor them. We just spread some eyeliner around the perimeter, and focus on deploying defenses around the sub-helm.

The guest room where Li Zhidao was staying was in the West Wing, so Nangong Ling took him to inspect from here first.

As he was walking, Li Zhidao's sharp eyes saw a group of people walking through the forest in the distance. They were in official official uniforms.

"That's it, the official army?" Li Zhidao asked in surprise.

"That's right." Nangong Ling's face was calm, and she didn't seem to feel that there was anything surprising about this matter.

But in fact, although the imperial court and the rivers and lakes cannot be said to be inseparable from each other, at least they are clearly distinct.

The government and the imperial court want to control the forces in the rivers and lakes. Because chivalry is prohibited by martial arts, people in the rivers and lakes are unwilling to be restrained, pursue freedom and casualness, and laugh at those who defect to the court as eagles and dogs.

But in this area where the beggar gang is defending, there are government troops patrolling?
"Guangzhu Huang's decision to cooperate with them this time is to set aside a piece of land for them to be responsible for." Nangong Ling slightly explained.

Li Zhidao nodded, it seems that this time the Beggar Gang really hurt their muscles and bones.

For example, Wudang and Shaolin will also visit each other to share news and so on, but for Shaolin to send people to help defend Wudang Mountain, how critical must it be?
Has the beggar gang reached this point?

"Probably not."

Li Zhidao pondered: "Maybe it's to take precautions before they happen. This time I was targeted by the Demon Gate, so it's not wrong to be more prepared. But, I'm afraid it's easier to ask the gods than to send them away. Unless... Huang Rong foresees the future A few years of big changes?"

Turning a corner, there is a sudden sense of openness in front of my eyes, as if I deliberately opened up a flat open space in the forest.

Li Zhidao asked: "Where is this?"

"There are five places in the forest where the disciples of the gang usually practice martial arts, and they are all around." Nangong Ling replied.

"Practice martial arts?" Li Zhidao's heart moved and he said to Nangong Ling: "Now that we are here, I wonder if Brother Nangong is willing to have a few moves with me?"

"Huh?" Nangong Ling turned to look at Li Zhidao.

"How about we just spar, limited to ten moves?"

"Alright."

Li Zhidao wanted to roughly estimate the strength of everyone in "Liu Xiang" based on Nangong Ling's strength to see if there was any discrepancy with what was reserved in the script. Nangong Ling also wanted to see if Li Zhidao was strong enough to guard this line of defense. , so the two hit it off.

Greeted to the Beggar Clan disciples at the nearby guard post, so as not to misunderstand, the two took each side and opened up their posture.

With the circulation of zhenqi, the five senses are obviously strengthened, and in an instant, the wind is calm and the forest is quiet.

Wudang is good at defending, Nangong Ling naturally knows, and at the same time he is good at attacking, so he said: "I come first?"

"Please."

Step, step in, punch.

Li Zhidao had already checked Nangong Ling's information, and knew that he had two short swords hidden in his sleeves, which could use eight kinds of weapon moves, such as acupuncture forceps, judge pen, and water-dividing thorn, called Ruyi Eight Dozens.But at this time, since it was a sparring session, they didn't use swords and weapons, so they used fists and kicks instead.

The cloud hand greeted each other, and at the moment of contact, he switched to a single whip and dismantled the move, raised his step diagonally, and pushed forward with his left hand, meeting the left fist of Nangong Lingbian's attack.

"boom!"

Both of them took a step back.

The first move, evenly split.

"Come again!"

This time the Nangong Lingquan came out like the wind, like a storm, urgent and heavy.

In the first move, he had tried out that Li Zhidao's skill was not much weaker than him, so he had to go all out to test Li Zhidao's limit.

There was a sudden "crackling" sound, and in an instant, the two had exchanged blows thirteen times.

Compared with the downpour, which is more dense, like the rapid and fierce fists of rocks collapsing and mud flow, even if the five senses are strengthened, Li Zhidao still has a feeling of being dizzy. Within the arms, amidst the surge of true energy, a strong wind blows to the face, blowing away the long hair on the temples, and making the clothes rattle.

Fortunately, not long after, Nangong Ling's rapid offensive stopped after No. 13 hits.

There was a muffled "poof", and the two took a step back with the force of the shock, and opened the distance.

"Huh..." Li Zhidao's pure Yang Wuji Kungfu has already been accomplished quite a bit, and he recovered in just one breath. On the contrary, Nangong Ling, because the internal energy he cultivated is not a perfect skill, his face was a little flushed, and he calmed down after three or four breaths. .

"Brother Li's kung fu is really powerful." Nangong Ling praised.

Li Zhidao clasped his hands and said, "Don't be ashamed. Brother Nangong is worthy of the reputation that the blue is better than the blue. The younger brother is just taking advantage of Yu Yin from the teacher's school."

Now that they already knew the details of each other, there was no need to continue this discussion. After a few polite words, the two continued to embark on the inspection route.
