Splendid Liyuan

After the fast meal, Zhang Songxi came over suddenly, before he could catch his breath, he begged to see Zhang Wuji, the heroes didn't ask any more questions, and waited with him in the main hall.

Zhang Wuji hurried out, came to the main hall, bowed down to Zhang Songxi, saw that his expression was the same, he was relieved, and asked: "Grand Master is well?" Zhang Songxi said: "Master, the old man is well. I got the message at the foot of Wudang Mountain [-] Yuan soldiers and iron cavalry came to Shaolin Temple to get a glimpse of their intentions, obviously they wanted to harm the hero meeting, so they came here to report the news." Zhang Wuji said: "Let's go and tell the abbot to know."

At that moment, the two went to the backyard together and told Kong Wen.Kong Wen pondered and said: "This matter involves a lot, and it should be discussed with all the heroes." So he ordered the monks to ring the bell and invited all the heroes to the main hall.

When the heroes heard the news, they immediately talked about it.With a strong blood, he said: "Let's take advantage of the fact that the heroes of the world are here, let's go down the mountain and kill him by surprise." The old man said solemnly: "It's normal for Yuan soldiers to come and go, and they may not come to embarrass us." Zhang Songxi said He said: "I can listen to Mongolian, and I have heard the orders of Tartar officers with my own ears. They are indeed coming to Shaolin Temple." At that time, Mongolia had occupied the Central Plains for more than a hundred years, and there were not a few Han people who knew Mongolian.Zhang Songxi is smart and wise, quite good at speaking the local dialects of various places, and he is also very fluent in Mongolian.

Kong Wen said: "Heroes, it seems that the imperial court heard that we are gathering here, and it is not good for the imperial court, so they sent troops to suppress it. We all have martial arts, so we are not afraid of the Tartars. Covered by the earth, what's the point..." Before he finished speaking, some people among the heroes cheered.Kong Wen continued: "It's just that we heroes are used to fighting alone. We are not good at fighting with weapons, fists, or hidden weapons. We are not very good at fighting with halberds and halberds immediately. According to the old monk See, why don't all the heroes just disperse?" The heroes looked at each other and remained silent.

Zhang Wuji said: "If we just leave here, firstly the Tatars will only think that we are afraid of them, and we will inevitably increase their ambitions; secondly, how about the masters in Shaolin Temple?"

Kong Wen smiled and said: "Yuan soldiers came to the temple and saw that the temple is full of monks and there are no powerful men, so there is nothing to be done. This is called coming in a good mood and returning in a bad mood."

The heroes knew about Kongwen, so they said this out of good intentions, this hero conference was invited by the Shaolin School, Ya didn't want to cause trouble, and cause the heroes to splatter Shaoshi Mountain with their blood.But the heroes are all bloody people, and they are determined not to retreat from the enemy.

What's more, since the imperial court has dispatched a large army, they must not rush back with a whole team, they must harass Shaolin Temple, most likely they will kill and capture all the monks, and burn the temple down.Mongolian soldiers have always been tyrannical, killing people and setting fires is a common practice.Yang Xiao said: "The Tartars are tyrannical, and all Han people are responsible for resisting the enemy. In my opinion, we can't lure the Tartars away, and fight them well in other places, so as not to prevent the thousand-year-old temple from being destroyed. The fire of war." The heroes all applauded, saying: "It should be so."

While they were discussing, they suddenly heard the clatter of horseshoes outside the gate of the temple, and two horses galloped towards them.The sound of hooves stopped abruptly outside the door.Followed by two men hurriedly walked into the hall under the guidance of Zhike monk.When the heroes looked at their clothes, they knew that they were the followers of Mingjiao.The two walked up to Zhang Wuji and bowed to salute, and one of them reported: "I would like to report to the leader: Five thousand Tartar soldiers attacked the Shaolin Temple in the vanguard, saying that all the masters in the temple gathered to rebel and wanted to destroy Shaolin. All light... light... Kong Wen smiled and said: "You want to talk about the bald monk, don't you? You don't have to be taboo, but you just say it." The man said: "A lot of great monks have been killed by the Tazi soldiers along the way. The Tartars said:' People with bald heads are not good people, and people with hair are not good people, as long as they have weapons around them, they will be killed."

Many people screamed and said: "If you don't fight the Tartar soldiers to the death, you are ashamed to be the descendants of the Yellow Emperor." Although the Song Dynasty had fallen for nearly a hundred years at that time, the reckless heroes always regarded the Mongolian officers and soldiers as barbarians and refused to obey. Its control.At this time, when they heard that the Mongolian soldiers had arrived, everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they were all eager to fight.

Zhang Wuji said loudly: "Heroes, today is the time for men to kill the enemy and serve the country. The Shaolin Temple Heroes Conference has been famous for thousands of years since then!" Cheers and shouts in the main hall resounded.

Zhang Wuji said: "We just want to back down and do good, but we can't, so we ask Abbot Kong Wen to give orders. We Mingjiao, all the people, follow orders." Kong Wen said: "Where did the leader Zhang say? Although the monks of our sect have learned it After a few fights, I don't know anything about marching and fighting. In recent years, the Mingjiao has created a great cause, and no one in the Jianghu has heard of it? Only the Mingjiao people are strong enough to fight against the army of the Tartars. We publicly recommend Zhang Jiaozhu to issue orders and lead the heroes of the world. Deal with the Tartars."

Zhang Wuji was still waiting to resign, but the crowd had already cheered loudly.Although Zhang Wuji is too young to convince the public, his martial arts is strong, and he was already seen by everyone when he was fighting against the three Shaolin monks. However, Mingjiao Han Shantong, Xu Shouhui, Zhu Yuanzhang and other people from all walks of life rose up in Huaisi, Yu'e and other places to attack the city. , the momentum is booming.Previously, the five-element flag showed its skills in the square, and this kind of group fighting ability is beyond the reach of other sects.The nobles of all factions and gangs thought that apart from Mingjiao, no one could take on this important task.

Zhang Wuji said: "I'm using soldiers together, I'm really not the director, please recommend another capable person." While being modest, suddenly there was a loud shout from the foot of the mountain, two Shaolin monks galloped into the hall, reporting: "Enlightenment Report to the abbot, the Mongolian soldiers have come up the mountain."

Zhang Wuji said: "Ruijin and Hongshui two banners, block the front first. Mr. Zhou Dian and Taoist Tieguan, you two each support one banner." Zhou Dian and Taoist Tieguan came out in response.At this time the situation was urgent, Zhang Wuji was not allowed to refuse any more, so he had to be sent to say: "Master, please take my holy fire order to send reinforcements from our sect to the nearest place, and go up the mountain to help."

All the heroes in the hall heard that Yuan soldiers were coming, each drew their weapons and rushed out one after another.

More than a thousand pioneers of the Mongolian soldiers had already attacked the mountainside, and were driven back by a round of hard crossbow javelins from Ruijin Banner.Looking far away, groups of Mongolian soldiers came windingly, and their military capacity was very strong.It was far away from the time when Genghis Khan and Batu were powerful in foreign lands, but the Mongolian iron cavalry was well-trained, and they were still unparalleled elite soldiers in the world.

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the left side, many nuns and men and women fled up the mountain, but it was the Emei sect who thought they met Mongolian officers and soldiers on the way down the mountain and were forced to come back.More than a dozen men were carrying stretchers and other things, and were surrounded by Mongolian soldiers. Zhou Zhiruo led Jingxuan and Jingzhao to charge and kill them several times. Although they killed dozens of Mongolian officers and soldiers, they were still unable to rescue their fellow soldiers who were trapped in the siege.

Seeing the critical situation, Zhang Wuji led his men into the group of Yuan soldiers and rescued all the disciples of Emei. Zhou Zhiruo was covered in blood and her hair was disheveled, looking extremely embarrassed.

Hundreds of yuan soldiers lined up and rushed up.Peng Yingyu shouted: "Let's do it!" The members of the Fire Banner sprayed oil from the nozzles, rockets shot out, and the flames rushed, and more than [-] yuan soldiers caught fire first, and rolled down the mountain like balls of fire.Over there, poisonous water was sprayed from the water dragon of the Hongshui Banner, and hundreds of Yuan soldiers were also doused, resulting in many casualties.Commander Wan of Yuan Bing ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, take soldiers to change the front team into the rear team, shoot with a strong bow, and retreat slowly.Peng Yingyu sighed: "Although the Tartar soldiers are defeated, they are indeed the best soldiers in the world." I saw the Yuan soldiers retreated to the foot of the mountain and spread out like a fan. It seemed that they would not attack again for a while.

Zhang Wuji ordered: "The three banners of Ruijin, Flood, and Liehuo guard the main road up the mountain. The two banners of giant trees and thick soil quickly cut down and move up to build barriers to prevent the enemy from attacking." Command subordinates to arm.

All the heroes previously thought that even if they couldn't kill all the Tazi officers and soldiers, if they wanted to protect themselves, it would not be difficult.But just after a while of confrontation, after seeing the might of the Yuan army, I realized that marching and fighting is quite different from single-handed martial arts competitions, tens of thousands of people swarmed up like a tide, such as Zhou Zhiruo, a person with extremely strong martial arts, In the crowd is also useless.There are swords, guns, swords and halberds in all directions, hacking and killing randomly, and the usual tricks, internal strength and external skills, all of which are not needed.If it wasn't for the Five Elements Banner of the Ming Cult to resist the formation with formations, the top of Shaoshi Mountain would have been miserable at this time, and Shaolin Temple would have been reduced to rubble in the raging fire.On the contrary, the Shaolin monks are quite regular. Teams of young monks hold Zen sticks and knives, and under the leadership of senior monks, they guard various important places, but they are outnumbered, and it is difficult to stop the attack of [-] Mongolian elite soldiers.When the Yuan army retreated, the heroes talked about it, and then they understood why so many heroes and heroes with strong martial arts in the previous dynasty had lost the great country to the Tartars.

Zhang Wuji gently placed Jingjia on the ground. Although Jingjia's arms were injured, she was conscious and fine. He turned around to call Zhou Zhiruo over, but there was no one there. He asked, "Where's Miss Zhou?" In the Yuan army, no one paid attention to where Zhou Zhiruo had gone.At this time, the Emei group's disciples also lost some hostility towards Mingjiao, and they all said that they had not seen the head of the sect.Zhang Wuji saw that Jingjia was wrapped in layers of white cloth, making it difficult to move, so he untied the white cloth wrapped around her body, Jingjia wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

She was wrapped in three layers of white cloth, and when the second layer was untied, four broken weapons fell out with a few clangs.

Zhang Wuji was taken aback, and shouted: "Dragon Slaying Saber, Yitian Sword!" All the heroes surrounded him one after another, but they saw that the two magical blades of Dragon Slaying Saber and Yitian Sword had been broken in two.He raised the broken knife, only to see that the broken part was hollow; it can be hidden, and the same is true for the Yitian sword.There is nothing in the sword and sword. If there was anything hidden, it would have been taken away by someone.

Zhou Zhiruo's strange martial arts all came from secret books hidden in the sword.There are many strange people in the Ming Cult, and the people in Ruijin Banner continued the Dragon Slaying Saber, but they were unwilling to continue the Yitian Sword. Zhang Wuji didn't want to force it, so he handed over the two cut swords to Jingxuan.

Jin Yi looked at the two severed swords. When Master was alive, he loved these swords more than his life, and he couldn't take his eyes off them.At first, Jinyi thought that it was only because this long sword was a rare magic weapon in the Jianghu, and it was passed down by Master Guo, that he paid so much attention to it, but who knew it was because there was a unique skill hidden in it.

Zhang Wuji took the dragon-slaying knife, pondered for a moment, and said to Kong Wen: "Abbot, this knife was obtained by my adoptive father. Now my adoptive father has converted to the Three Jewels and belongs to Shaolin. This knife should be handled by Shaolin sect."

Kong Wen shook his hands and said: "This knife has changed its owner several times. In the end, Master Zhang snatched it from thousands of troops. Everyone can see it with their own eyes. It is the noble brother Angkor who has been restored one after another. What's more, today the heroes of the world are all together. Promote Zhang Jiaozhu as respect, discuss talents, virtues, origins, and fame, this sword should be controlled by Zhang Jiaozhu, that is justified."

All the heroes echoed in unison, saying: "Everyone expects it, and there is no need for Master Zhang to refuse."

After Zhang Wuji accepted the sword, the heroes said one after another: "Your Majesty in the martial arts world, the sword slays the dragon, commanding the world, there is no one who dare not obey!"

Everyone has been busy for a long time, and they are all hungry.Half of the monks of Mingjiao Five Elements Banner and Shaolin Temple guarded the main roads, and the rest were brought into the temple by the monks to eat fast.

Waking up early the next morning, Abbot Kongwen summoned a group of heroes.Heroes from all walks of life came to the hall.Zhang Wuji stood in the middle and said, "Right now the Tatars are gathering at the foot of the mountain, and it is expected that they will attack the mountain in a big way soon. Although our small victory yesterday has dampened the enthusiasm of the Tartars, if the Tartars swarm up without regard for their lives, it will be our fault. It's hard to resist. I'm not talented. I was recommended by all the heroes to temporarily serve as the coach. Today the enemy is united in hatred, please listen to the order." The heroes said together: "But there are orders, and you should obey them, and dare not disobey them. "

Zhang Wuji made some assignments, and the group of heroes acted according to the plan. Although it was a bit dangerous at the beginning, reinforcements arrived soon, and all Yuan soldiers were wiped out.

That night, there were thunderous cheers at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and the Mingjiao Rebel Army and heroes from all walks of life celebrated their victories.All the heroes ate vegetarian food in Shaolin Temple for several days, and their mouths were already so sad. At this time, they were feasting on wine and meat.All the heroes drink happily until they get drunk.In the afternoon, all the heroes bid farewell to Kong Wen and Kong Zhi.
