Longhu Mountain is located in Danleng, Meizhou.
During the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was prevalent in this area, which was known as the "Three Palaces and Nine Religions".
Chongzhen Palace is one of the three palaces. The entire palace is located on the hillside of Longhu Mountain.
Sichuan and Shu are unique and beautiful, and the dragon and swan are the most fairy-like.
This immortal refers to the people who live here. Most of these people are monks with long sleeves and high buns.
In Chongzhen Palace, there is a very quiet and elegant courtyard.
It is midsummer, and the flowers are in full bloom.
There is a pavilion in the courtyard, a platform in the pavilion, a zither on the platform, and a woman is playing it.
The person who strokes the flower is like a fairy, and the fairy music lingers around. Bees and butterflies dance along with the fairy music.
The grass outside the pavilion is green.
The goddess holds a sword in her hand, looking graceful and elegant, with the sword soaring into the sky as if she is about to fly.
The one playing the zither was none other than the Grand Palace Master Cheng Lianshi of Chongzhen Palace; the one dancing with the sword was none other than the most beautiful woman of all five dynasties, Wang Yueyao.
The music flows along the mountains with the water, and the sword roars across the universe with flowing light.
The sword is like light, the beauty's eyes are full of enchanting light that captivates the soul, the sword is like a dream, the dream is not over yet and the person is frozen.
The sword chases the soul, the target's ghost, the broken soul that is chilled to death. The sword is as fast as lightning, and if it strikes down, the person will have a hard time surviving.
The sword is a good sword, named Yuchang.
The martial arts method is also a good one, a sword with two sides, the unpredictable girl of Yue.
It is said that the Yue women practiced sword skills. One sword could enchant, and the other could chase souls.
If seduction fails, then fight to the death. The sword technique that Wang Yueyao practices is the Yuenu Sword.
The sword stopped playing, and Master Cheng, who was as graceful as a fairy, stood up leisurely, looked at Wang Yueyao lying on the grass, and sighed: "Fool, the sword is now trained, and it's time for you to go down the mountain."
Wang Yueyao, who was incomparable in appearance and graceful, put away her sword and stood respectfully, saying, "Master, I have only practiced sword for a year. Can I really beat Yuchi Jin?"
The reason why Wang Yueyao learned martial arts was to defeat Yuchi Jin.
Now she directly asked her master whether he could defeat Yuchi Jin, which meant that Master Cheng Lian also knew Yuchi Jin.
As a woman, Master Cheng Lian devoted herself to practicing Taoism and seldom traveled. Even so, she had close friends. In the Tang Dynasty, the most famous female Taoist was naturally Yuchi Jin's master, Song Huayang.
The relationship between Master Cheng Lian and Song Huayang was obviously similar to that of best friends in later generations. Master Cheng Lian naturally knew about Song Huayang's most beloved little disciple Yuchi Jin.
Wang Yueyao is now Master Cheng Lian's little disciple, and has also won the master's love. Facing his beloved disciple's question, Master Cheng Lian didn't know what he was thinking about, and sighed again, comforting her: "I don't know what level of martial arts Jin'er has reached now, so I naturally can't answer your question."
"But don't be discouraged. If you were an ordinary person who started practicing sword at the age of nineteen, it would be hopeless to reach the peak in your lifetime. But you are different. You have practiced dancing since you were young, so your muscles and bones are strong."
"I have found some elixir for you to bathe in, and I have also used our sect's secret method to help you break through the barrier. Once the barrier is broken, your achievements in martial arts will no longer be dependent on your physical fitness. What kind of achievements you can make in the future will mainly depend on your understanding."
"But Master, my disciple..." Wang Yueyao looked at Master Cheng Lian with a pitiful and touching expression of worry, but she was interrupted by Master Cheng Lian before she could finish her words.
"If you don't have the confidence to beat that girl Jin'er, you might as well go find your senior sister. Her name is Qian Muran. If you run into a scruffy, runny-nosed little girl on the street, it must be her."
"Before leaving the mountain, that girl coaxed and begged my master to take my patchwork clothes away. She also swore that if she couldn't find her true love, she would never take off the patchwork clothes for the rest of her life." Master Cheng Lian shook his head, seeming helpless towards Qian Muran.
"It's not that I don't want to keep you in the mountains to continue your hard training. Your sword skills have already reached the highest level. If you continue to practice hard in seclusion, you won't gain much."
"If you want to continue to improve, you must fight with others to the death. Only in desperate situations can you improve your understanding and progress rapidly. The Yuchang Sword is the weapon that I used in my early years. It is also a famous sword. I will give it to you so that it can help you defend yourself."
After Master Cheng Lian finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Yueyao to continue speaking, he picked up the guqin on the stone platform, turned around and walked towards a door, as if he had said everything and there was no need to continue.
If separation is inevitable, why not let each other go in a free and easy manner? Master Cheng Lian obviously doesn't want to see both sides get hurt.
"Master!" Wang Yueyao looked at Master Cheng Lian's back and suddenly shouted loudly, her voice choked with sobs, which made people feel sad.
Parting is always hard for some people, and parting with close ones makes people feel inexplicably sad.
"Go, idiot, remember this sentence: 'Sincerity to others and sincerity to your heart will move mountains and open rocks.' True love cannot be snatched away, and if it can be snatched away, it is definitely not true love."
The kind words, carried by the gentle breeze, had already lingered in Wang Yueyao's hair and ears, like a warning or a sigh.
Kaiyang.
When Guo Qizuo received the news of Zhu Li's return, he hurried to the general's mansion.
But when he stepped into the general's mansion, Zhu Li had already left a long time ago, riding alone and heading east.
Just as he frowned and was about to turn around and leave, he happened to meet Yuchi Jin who came hurriedly. Yuchi Jin had obviously also received the news that Zhu Ning'er was in trouble, and without even bothering to reunite with his mother, he rushed to the general's mansion.
Seeing Guo Qizuo, Yuchi Jin ignored him and walked straight to Dong Ningyang and asked directly: "The general has left, when did he leave?"
Dong Ningyang looked at the lady with complicated eyes. He just arrived and found out that Zhu Li had left. She was indeed the best candidate for the future wife.
But at this time, he had no time to sigh, and immediately said with shame: "It took less than a quarter of an hour. However, the general was riding the Red Hare. Even if my wife chased him now, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to catch up."
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jin turned to Guo Qizuo and said coldly, "Sir, you need to give me an explanation."
Looking at Yuchi Jin with a gloomy face, Guo Qizuo felt very embarrassed. Last time, because of his neglect of Lu Yong, he almost killed this lady.
Now, because he was busy with the preparations for the construction of Shanyang and neglected to pay attention to the General's Mansion, Zhu Li's sister was kidnapped. One can imagine how he felt.
Although he was not to blame for this matter, after Zhu Li left, he was the most powerful person in the entire Shuozhou. If something like this happened, who else could Yuchi Jin blame but him
"This is my negligence. I have nothing to say." Guo Qizuo did not shirk responsibility, but looked at Yuchi Jin frankly and admitted it frankly, "However, the most important thing right now is to quickly find a way to support the general and not let the general fall into danger. After resolving this incident, Guo will definitely let my wife deal with it."
"Humph." Although Yuchi Jin was still angry, he knew the seriousness of the situation. He turned to Dong Ningyang again and asked solemnly, "Did the general leave any words before he left?"
Before Dong Ningyang could speak, Zhu Chun came out and immediately said, "When Dalang learned that Ning'er was kidnapped, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Alas, it's all because of me, Alang, who is useless and can't even take care of my own little wife."
Zhu Chun, with a bitter face, complained to himself and continued, "Da Lang asked Jing Ming, Wang Chong, Yi Jiangnan, and Li Gufeng to lead the ghost guards and sneak into the grassland immediately, ready to meet him at any time."
"He plans to leave from Gubeikou and head directly to Muye Mountain. I heard that's where the Khitans' lair is."
"That's right." As soon as Zhu Chun finished speaking, Guo Qizuo echoed, "The Khitan's Shangjing is located east of Muye Mountain and west of Hundong River; most of the nobles of the eight Khitan tribes live in Shangjing." (Hundong River: now Songhua River)
"Yanmujin, Yuelixin, and Xiaoxiala are all Khitan nobles. They kidnapped Madam Ning'er and will definitely go to Shangjing. The general went directly to Shangjing. It seems that he intends to rescue Madam Ning'er before they attack her."
Zhu Chun and Guo Qizuo's words made Yuchi Jin frown even more.
Shangjing was the Khitan's stronghold. Zhu Li was eager to save his sister, so he rushed to their stronghold alone. Where did he put himself
How can it not make people worry
After thinking for a moment, Yuchi Jin suddenly asked, "Where's Zhao Wu?"
Zhao Wu is one of the three ghost guard commanders in Shuozhou. Since Wang Chong and Jing Ming were ordered to sneak into the northern border, the entire Shuozhou should be under Zhao Wu’s control.
"Ah..." Before Yuchi Jin finished speaking, Zhu Chun sighed again and said bitterly, "Those two witches bewitched Ning'er to travel outside the Great Wall. Zhao Dalang was worried, so he followed her secretly to protect her at any time."
"But the incident happened too suddenly. Zhao Wu was aware of the Khitan's conspiracy and led his men to charge forward. However, Ning'er had already been surrounded by the Khitan's elite cavalry. Zhao Wu fought desperately and was shot by several arrows, but he was only able to rescue Hei'er."
Hei'er naturally refers to Lin Hei'er. Ever since Lin Hei'er moved into the general's mansion and was adopted as a daughter by Zhu Chun and Zheng, she has been inseparable from Zhu Ning'er.
Yan Mujin persuaded Zhu Ning'er to travel outside the Great Wall, and Lin He'er naturally went with her. If Zhao Wu had not fought desperately to rescue her, Lin He'er would have been kidnapped by the Khitans just like Zhu Ning'er.
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jin frowned again, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhu Chun, saying in a gentle voice: "Uncle, Zhu Li should have brought back a general, right? Where is that person?"
Zhu Chun came to his senses immediately after hearing this, and asked quickly, "Is Jin'er talking about a big square-faced man named Geng?"
"That's right." Yuchi Jin said quickly.
"He was sent to the army by Dalang, who asked him to transfer 30,000 elite troops from General Yang Zaixing and head to Wohu Mountain." Zhu Chun answered honestly.
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jin's face changed and he immediately turned to look at Guo Qizuo. Guo Qizuo also looked at him at this time. They both saw Zhu Li's plan from each other's eyes.
Zhu Li is a kind young man, but this time, he was really angry and could not control his rage.
No matter what, Geng Xin had just arrived and was not going to lead the army, so it would not be his turn anyway. However, Zhu Li designated Geng Xin and asked him to lead the troops.
Yuchi Jin and Guo Qizuo both knew that Geng Yan was a killing god.
Zhu Li was indeed kind to the people of the Central Plains, but due to the influence of Wu Dao, he never wanted to be polite to foreigners in his heart. This time the Khitans kidnapped his sister, which obviously touched his reverse scale.
When an ordinary man gets angry, blood will flow for five steps; when a king gets angry, his corpses will float to the surface.
