"Such a conspiracy was discovered by the benefactors of the Emei Sect. Unexpectedly, Chen Youliang, a disciple of Chengkun, jumped over the wall in a hurry and detonated the gunpowder, thunderbolt and thunderbolts that had been laid in the Western Regions, intending to wipe out all the martial arts people from all the martial arts factions present."

Hearing Abbot Kong's words immediately aroused panic among the martial arts practitioners present.

"How could this be? It is rumored that only a small thunderbolt from the Western Regions is needed to cause an earth-shattering explosion. As the owner of Shaolin Temple, he didn't realize that such a dangerous thing was buried?"

"Cheng Kun is a traitor, he deserves to die. If I find out, I will cut him into pieces to vent my hatred."

"Shaolin Temple is simply a joke. The abbot was imprisoned in his lair and a trap was set..."

Just when the heroes were boiling, Jingxuan appeared with Chen Youliang on his back, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"I would like to thank all the benefactors of the Emei Sect for their help. If you hadn't acted out of righteousness, my Shaolin Temple would have been almost destroyed, and even my fellow martial artists would have been implicated. It's a sin, a sin!" Kong Wen saluted and thanked him solemnly. …

"Master Abbot speaks too seriously, and I'm just following orders." Jingxuan replied, "If you want to thank you, please thank me, Senior Brother Song!"

"Senior Brother Song? Do you mean Song Qingshu?" a disciple of the Kongtong Sect asked.

"That's right!" Jingxuan said loudly, "I, Brother Song, presided over this matter."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the scene immediately cooled down. During the day, Lizhou swept the crowd with his own power, and killed eighteen heroes from various factions on the spot. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are enemies everywhere.

Seeing the attitude of the Jianghu people present, Jingxuan snorted coldly and said: "The man has a clear sense of grievances and grievances. I didn't expect that my Senior Brother Song kindly saved your lives, but you are so ignorant of good and bad. You are really wolf-hearted."

"In that case, it's useless for me to stay longer."

As she spoke, she greeted the other Emei disciples present, "Let's go."

The Jianghu people present looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Kongtong sent a disciple to stand up, breaking the weird atmosphere of the scene.

He went straight in front of Zhou Tong and Zhou Zhiruo, and said loudly: "Song Qingshu, you saved the lives of 27 people from the Kongtong Sect. This is such a great favor that the Kongtong Sect will definitely pay back even if we go through fire and water in the future."

"But you killed the five elders of the Kongtong Sect. We will avenge such a great enmity."

"A manly man, act aboveboard, I will repay the favor first, and then take revenge, lest someone say that my Kongtong faction is a wolf-hearted dog."

These words immediately aroused the applause of countless people from all walks of life present.

Many martial arts figures followed suit, and the Jianghu sects present stepped forward one after another, thanked Zhou Tong, sorted out their grievances, and threatened to repay their kindness first and then revenge.

After such a commotion, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

"Master Kongwen, now the Shaolin Temple has been bombed into ruins, what do you think will happen to this lion-slaying hero?" Zhang Wuji was worried about his adoptive father Xie Xun, and asked proactively.

Kong Wen saw that many people from all walks of life were attracted by the word Xie Xun, he pondered for a while, and said: "Today's martial arts competition, the Emei School's martial arts skills are world-class, and the martial arts of the Song Dynasty is overwhelming. The golden lion king Xie Xun should be in charge of the Emei School."

Before Kong Wen finished speaking, Zhou Tong got up slowly, "In that case, can Master Kong Wen listen to me?"

"Hero Song, but it's okay to say." Kong Wen replied politely.

Zhou Tong shook his head, and said: "I, Song Qingshu, have not acted chivalrously in the arena, and secondly, I have not done any great things to benefit the country and the people. I am worthy of the title of hero."

"However, since all the heroes are here today, I was lucky enough to win a half move and get the right to dispose of the golden lion king Xie Xun."

"Then there is something to say, don't spit it out!"

At this time, all around, martial arts figures from various factions in the rivers and lakes lit torches one after another, illuminating the dark night brightly.

Emei, Shaolin, Mingjiao, Wudang and other great sects from all corners of the country were flocked to the center, and at the core were Kong Wen and Zhou Tong, the abbots of Shaolin Temple.

At this time, Zhou Tong was filled with emotions, countless worries, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind one by one.

He died unexpectedly in his previous life and came to this world, but he was always in danger of life and death. If it wasn't for his extraordinary talent and the help of fate's choice, he would have died countless times already. …

He never thought that Zhou Zhiruo, who was only willing to use Zhou Zhiruo in the beginning just to survive, had unknowingly left a deeper and deeper imprint on his heart.

Until it is unforgettable!

Ask what love is in the world, and it's called life and death.

"I, Zhou Tongben, am a man of the most affectionate nature, how can I live up to the beauty's kindness?"

He looked at Zhou Zhiruo, and thought that he would go to Wudang Mountain to kiss Zhang Sanfeng in the near future, and then he might have to experience life and death again.

Zhou Tong felt disgusted and unwilling from the bottom of his heart to this situation where life and death could not be controlled by his hands.

"Whether it's for Zhiruo, for our children, or just for myself to survive, I absolutely can't continue to sit and wait like this."

"A man should carry a three-foot sword and make an incomparable feat!"

"One day, the power will be in your hands. No matter what Mingjiao, Wudang, Zhao Min, Yuan Ting, or Zhang Sanfeng, they will be like chickens and dogs in front of millions of soldiers, and they will be destroyed with one order!"

Zhou Tong stepped out slowly, glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and her lower abdomen, then turned around, looking around with solemn eyes at the presence of martial arts figures from various sects in the rivers and lakes.

He thought silently in his heart: "My Zhou Tong's road to become king starts today."

"In the future, the yellow robe will be added to the body, so that the beloved woman will be the mother of the world, and my children will be respected and favored, and thousands of people will worship."

"Only in this way can I live up to this life!"

Chapter 40 The Fire Under the Night

Songshan, the open space of Shaolin Temple Square, thousands of torches are like fire dragons, burning the dark night brightly.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of heroes, Zhou Tong agitated with pure yang energy, making his voice resound in everyone's ears like a grand bell in the night.

"Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the dragon-slaying sword, the martial arts supreme, commands the world, who dares not to obey, relying on the sky to come out, who will fight against it?"

"For the Dragon Slaying Saber that can command the world, the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes killed each other, causing countless bloody storms."

"As for the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun, because he got the Dragon Slaying Knife, he was exiled on a deserted island and lost his eyesight. Even if he returned to the Central Plains by luck, he still has no life and has attracted the attention of the world."

"It's just that even if Xie Xun has been sitting on the Dragon Slaying Saber for decades, has he ever understood the mystery of this treasured sword? Does anyone in this Jianghu know the origin of the Dragon Slaying Saber and Yitian Sword?"

At this time, an elder of the Beggar Clan didn't like Zhou Tong's prominence in front of everyone, so he sarcastically said: "Could it be that you, Song Qingshu, know the origin and mystery of the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber?"

Zhou Tong said without hesitation: "Yes, I am afraid that no one in the world is more qualified to know the secrets of Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword than my Emei Sect."

As soon as this remark came out, the martial arts people present were in an uproar.

Someone immediately shouted impatiently: "Song Daxia, since you know the secrets of the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Saber, why don't you tell them so that everyone can gain insight."

"Yes, yes!"

"Song Daxia, please don't hesitate to enlighten me, I will listen with all my ears."

Zhou Tong spoke, his voice was like thunder, echoing in the night, suppressing the voices of others.

"Everyone doesn't know, a hundred years ago, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Guo Jing, a hero of the previous generation, called on the heroes of the world to defend Xiangyang City together."

"At that time, there was a great hero named Yang Guo, with a dark iron epee, who once killed a Mongolian iron cavalry and turned his back on his back. He was honored as one of the five wonders of the world."

"After the hero Yang Guo achieved great martial arts, he gave his black iron epee to the hero Guo Jing, wishing him to drive out the Tartars."

"It's a pity that there were many Tazi soldiers at that time. Seeing that Xiangyang City was about to fall, Guo Jing and Huang Rong asked someone to smelt the dark iron epee, and added Western fine gold to cast the Dragon Slaying Sword and Yitian Sword."

At this time, it was only a hundred years before the end of the Song Dynasty, and many people from the Jianghu present had heard of the heroic deeds of Guo Jing and respected him deeply.

Zhou Tong then said: "In the Dragon Slaying Saber, the hero Guo Jing hid a piece of art of war, which is the "Wu Mu Suicide Note" by the former famous general Yue Fei and the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon".

"If someone can obtain the art of war and martial arts inherited from this dragon-slaying sword, expel the Tartars, restore the rivers and mountains, and save the Han people in the world, they will naturally be honored in the martial arts world and order the world. No one dares not to obey."

Zhou Tong's words immediately made the Jianghu people present look at each other in dismay. Some people sighed with emotion, some sighed, some were relieved, and some were skeptical.

Zhou Tong ignored everyone's thoughts, and then said: "And there is a peerless miracle "Nine Yin Manual" hidden in the Yitian sword."

"The saber and sword were passed on by Guo Daxia to his son Guo Polu and daughter Guo Xiang respectively."…

"The purpose is to enable future generations to use the military books and martial arts secret books in it to expel the Tartars, reorganize the land, save the people of the world from the fire and water, and achieve a great cause."

Zhou Tong looked at the heroes of the rivers and lakes who were gradually quieting down, and said in a serious tone: "The heroine Guo Xiang is the founder of my Emei School, and the Yitian Sword is also a sword passed down from generation to generation in my Emei."

"Naturally, no one knows the origins and mysteries of this better than my Emei Sect."

"The dragon-slaying knife and the Yitian sword were originally the behest and sustenance of the heroes of the predecessors, but they never thought that they would lead to mutual killings in the Central Plains martial arts."

Zhou Tong said in a sad tone: "If the ancestors knew it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be peaceful under the Nine Springs."

Zhou Tong saw thousands of heroes present in silence, soaring up into the air, landing on a collapsed wooden shed, looking down at the heroes, so that everyone can see his figure, and then shouted: "Fang, come down today!" In great chaos, the Mongolian Tartars regarded our Han people as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, wantonly slaughtered and humiliated, and all kinds of evil deeds are too numerous to write down."

Almost all the Jianghu people present have seen the scenes of the Mongols torturing and killing Han people, and many of them have personally experienced the tragedy of their family members being killed.

Hearing this, many people thought of all the horrible and hateful scenes of those Mongolians who tortured and committed violence.

Although there is no shortage of profit-seeking people in this arena, there is also no lack of passionate and brave men. At this time, many people clenched their fists and knives, gritted their teeth, and were full of anger.

Zhou Tong looked at the pairs of eyes full of anger and flames in the night, and roared: "I practice martial arts, why?"

"It is the duty of a chivalrous man to fight for righteousness and help people in need, but this is just a small chivalrous man. I have heard Guo Jing's words that for the country and the people, the great chivalrous man is."

"Abbot Kongwen called me a hero. I really deserve to be called a hero. But now the world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, the political affairs of the Yuan court are in chaos, treacherous ministers are in power, and Yuan soldiers are burning, killing and looting. They do all sorts of evil. It is unbearable to witness."

"I, Song Qingshu, would like to join the army and fight on the battlefield from today. I only hope that one day I can expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains. I will become famous all over the world and become a true hero admired by all people."

Zhou Tong's voice was like thunder, deafening, making everyone's blood boil, and they couldn't control themselves for a long time.

"Thousands of heroes today, I, Song Qingshu, would like to be a villain and ask for kindness in return. I only hope that you can help me."

"As for the golden-haired lion king Xie Xun obtained by my Emei faction, I would like to present the precious sword, as well as the military books and cheats in it, to the heroes and warriors who are willing to expel the Tartars."

"Help us to drive out the Tartars one day and restore the Central Plains."

"One day, the great cause has been accomplished, and I, Song Qingshu, will be the head, and you can take it at will, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

These words were loud and sincere, which moved all the heroes present.

Immediately, a big bearded man jumped out and shouted: "I, Hai Sha Gang Du Sandao, have a deep blood feud with the Meng Yuan Tartars, and I owe you Song Qingshu a life. From now on, this life will be handed over to you."

"Haha, Du Sandao is not afraid of death, so why should I, Li Shouquan, be afraid of it? At worst, it's just death. I lost my head, and I will be a good man again after 18 years."...

"That's right, I, Li Laowu, would like to kill Tartars with Song Daxia."

"Count me in."

"Count me..."

Not long after, thousands of heroes responded one after another, and the boiling sound resounded through the night sky.

Zhou Tong raised his hand to stop the noise of the crowd, and all the heroes were watching, and the scene was completely silent.

"Since you don't give up and follow each other with death, then we will swear by this raging fire. Today we will be brothers, drive out the Tartars, recover the rivers and mountains, and never die!"

Zhou Tong picked up a wooden stick, lit the torch, and then threw it to the ruins of the wooden shed at his feet, letting it start to burn its raging fire.

"Yesterday's me is dead, today's me is reborn in this flame."

"Expel the Tartars, restore the mountains and rivers, and never die!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, even his voice was hoarse, his blood was boiling, and his murderous intent rushed into the night.

"Expel the Tartars, restore the mountains and rivers, and never die!"

"Expel the Tartars, restore the mountains and rivers, and never die!"

"Expel the Tartars, restore the mountains and rivers, and never die!"

……

Countless heroes of the rivers and lakes responded loudly, and then walked out one by one, throwing the torches in their hands onto the fire, making the raging fire burn more and more intensely, burning brightly in this dark night.

The raging fire reflected on Zhou Tong's face, making his eyes seem to be burning with flames.

That flame burns everything, ambition!

Chapter 41 The Chongming Army and the Three Shaolin Monks

In the early morning of the second day, Zhou Tong selected more than [-] young warriors from thousands of heroes in the world, and received more than a thousand horses and countless gold, silver and silk as gifts from the heroes and Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple called for all the heroes in the world, but almost put thousands of heroes in danger of life and death. Knowing that they were wrong, they would respond to every request.

When the sky was bright, Zhou Tong gathered his troops and horses, calling himself General Chongming.

Lin Yun from the Wudang School, Zhang Hu, a lay disciple from the Shaolin School, Du Sandao from the Sea Shark Gang, Li Shouquan from the Giant Whale Gang, and other eight well-known heroes with outstanding martial arts are the hundred generals, each commanding a hundred people.

Although there are eight hundred heroes gathered, they lack weapons, armor and horses, and they are untrained and do not know the art of battle.

Zhou Tong intended to boost the morale of the army, strengthen morale, and clarify rewards and punishments, so he immediately led eight hundred heroes to gather in the back mountain, and asked Shaolin Temple to release Xie Xun.

Kong Wen knew that Shaolin Temple not only lost its reputation this time, but also made wedding clothes for others, so he was naturally unwilling, so he said in a loud voice: "The golden lion king is imprisoned in the dungeon among three pines, and the dungeon is guarded by me. Send three elders."

"Song Daxia's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, as long as he wins against the three elders of our faction, he can break the prison and take people."
