Chapter 1 A tiger comes from the north on a snowy night
Dayuan, to the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan marched against Japan with 20 "Jiangnan Army". Due to the raging sea wind, most of the warships were destroyed, and the main general Fan Wenhu abandoned his troops and fled.

Some generals said: "Kublai Khan made Fan Wenhu abandon me and let us wait for the southern army to die. It would be better to find Penglai Yingzhou in the north and rebuild the Great Song Dynasty if it is successful. It will not be a common trouble."

According to historical records: The boat is led away by the wind, and there are tens of thousands of followers.

Since then, Yingzhou (America) has added a mysterious country.

……

50 years later.

Dayuan Liaoyang Province.

The wind is howling and the snow is white.

The sky and the earth are vast, and the entire sky seems to be soaked in white mist, making people unable to open their eyes.

A stone house where the hunters rested temporarily while catching Haidongqing and sables released hot green smoke, rising faintly in the heavy snow, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky.

crunch.

One hand struggled to push open the stone house door.

Pfft, countless snowflakes blow in, the cold wind howls, creaking cracks in the stones, and blows sparks from the fire in the house, turning it into sparks all over the sky. Zhao Liangha, who has hundreds of people, was shocked instantly.

"Liu Shishi, you have meat!"

Zhao Liangha is a Han from the north, and he has more than ten arresting households, most of them are Han from northern Liao, that is, from the Jin Kingdom that was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty. Their ancestors all have Khitan Jurchen blood, and they have been arresting Haidongqing for the royal family for generations. .

Today's snow is very strange, there is still such a large amount of white snow in June Mountain, Zhao Liangha has lived in northern Liaoning, and he has only seen it twice.I heard Dan Menqin (a salesman) from Shanxi, a Han who came to sell salt, say that it was because the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty collapsed, and in this kind of famine year, there are many mountain spirits and monsters in the mountains.

When Zhao Liangha yelled, Liu Shishi, who was cutting manjing with a knife, turned around and was also startled.

There are many birds of prey and big insects in this old forest, such as mandarins, ermines, green rats, mountain cattle and wild boars, etc. There are also wolves, black blinds and mountain worms. In such a heavy snow day, the mountain worms cannot find food. Smell the blood on the person's body, the eyeballs are red and flowing, and he can chase him from dozens of miles away...

Even the savage Jurchen, who is as raw as hair and drinks blood, dare not spend the night in the mountains easily.

The old forest where they hunted Haidongqing is at the junction of Liaoyang and Lingbei, and there are few people. This person was able to break here in the white snow that can't be seen with his hands. ?
Surprised, the two of them held the handles of their knives and turned sideways, ready to fight.

Taking a closer look, he saw a fierce man wearing animal skins and a tiger-backed waist lying down in the snowstorm at the door. He was scratching the door frame with a face full of wind and frost, his lips were cracked, and he shouted hoarsely in the howling wind and snow: "Two heroes, do you have tea soup?"

"A person?"

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi looked at each other.

Before answering, the man saw the flying dragon broth they stewed, his eyes were straightened immediately, he hurriedly closed the door of the stone house, leaned against it with stones, and then rushed to the stove, regardless of the hot broth, picked up the burning pot The birch bark tube was rolled up, and a few mouthfuls of soup were scooped up to sip and drink.

Both Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi were in doubt. Zhao Liangha was holding the hunting knife. Seeing that this man was tall and strong, with a thick back and a waist, and a heavy long knife on his back. After thinking for a while, he put down the hunting knife. Instead, he grabbed a wild boar hunting fork.

"Hoo hoo, thank you two heroes for saving their lives, otherwise, we would have to explain it here today."

The animal skin man thanked while sucking the hot soup in the birch bark spoon.

He ate very fast, the big pot of flying dragon broth seemed not enough for him to drink alone.

Because he was strong and had a weapon on his back, Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi secretly told him that they might not be able to beat him in this stone house, and the weather was as cold as frost. If they were arrested by a hundred families, they would not be able to hand over them if they were injured. Official errands, I am afraid that they will be exploited by seductive officials and sell their sons and daughters, so they have to sell themselves to rich households as slaves.

Therefore, both of them were in shock and did not dare to speak, and stared at the burly man with animal skin.

After finishing a large pot of flying dragon broth, the animal skin man put down the earthenware pot, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and let out a breath of hot air, then turned his head and grinned and said, "You two are the sons of Da Yuan. civil?"

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi looked at each other.

The two still felt that this person was suspicious, Zhao Liangha frowned and asked: "Bare mountains and wild mountains, this place is five hundred miles around and there is no war, where did you come from?"

Zhanchi is the station.

Zhao Liangha is not a person who has never seen the market. In Dayuan’s household records, except for military households and station households, they are arresting households, which are higher in status than salt households and artisan households. They are still far behind.

The hunters in Dayuan are ordered to go out to hunt all kinds of rare birds and animals every year, and offer them fur eagles and falcons.

The beast-skinned man with a thick back and a wasp waist picked up a piece of flying dragon meat, gobbled it up, and said to Zhao Liangha and the other two: "Brothers, we are not bad people, we are a gentleman."

"Look at your outfits, are you the Orion here?"

Dayuan collectively referred to Taoist priests as "Mister".

Hearing this, Zhao Liangha sized him up again, and saw that this man was tall and slender, with clear eyes and a figure, but his cheeks were flushed like a boy.

It's just that he was wearing a wild animal leather jacket, and he didn't look like a Taoist at all.

Because Genghis Khan respected the living immortal Changchun Master Qiu Chuji, Liaoyang and Lingbei provinces, at the time of Emperor Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was very prosperous, and the leader of Taoism, Zhao Zhijing, had hundreds of thousands of disciples all over the world.

However, the Great Emperor Kublai Khan held a Dharma King Debate Conference and called the leaders of various religions to debate the scriptures. Zhao Zhijing, the leader of Quanzhen Taoism, led hundreds of Taoist priests, but he could not win the debate against the 17-year-old Tubo monk Basiba, and was finally ordered by the Great Emperor Kublai Khan He was ordained and became a monk on the spot to practice Buddhism.

Since then, the Quanzhen Taoist school and the Tianshizheng Taoist school have gradually declined in Lingbei and Liaoyang. Nowadays, most of them are preached by monks, and it is rare to see a Taoist gentleman.

Zhao Liangha wondered: "Since you are a Taoist priest practicing Taoism, why did you come to Gada here?"

The animal-skinned man grinned and said: "Two old brothers, our name is Chen Sijiu, a celestial master who was ordered by Tiefeng Mountain to go to Dadu Jixian Temple to make alchemy for the great emperor, and got lost here because of the wind and snow."

Hearing that Chen Sijiu, a man with animal skin, was a Taoist priest who went to Jixian Academy in Dadu, Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi slowly let go of their guards.

The animal-skinned man took out the disc to verify again.

The people of Dayuan came and went freely, they didn't need guides, and the Dao Disc waist badge could prove their identity, so the two invited him to sit down and talk by the fire.

Dayuan set up Jixian Academy, Chongfu Division, and Huihuiha's Institute, which were respectively in charge of Taoism, Nestorian Buddhism, and Tianfangjiao.

Most of the Taoist priests who can be summoned to the capital are masters of Taoism. At least they are very good at refining the erotic elixir. The right prime minister of the Great Yuan, Yan Timur, likes the elixir refined by Taoists very much. It is said that after taking it, supplemented with the great joy technique of Tantric Lamas, it can control dozens of women every day, which is very powerful.

Most of the Taoists know medical skills, and the arrestees often have bruises, swelling, pain, gold sores and miasma, and they need to deal with Taoists, so Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi are considered polite.

It's just that they were a little dissatisfied with Chen Sijiu who had finished cooking a clay pot of Feilong broth by himself, especially Liu Shishi, who was picking up the pieces of meat while he was tinkering with the clay pot of stewing meat with a spoon. My son came to eat, and rolled his eyes at Chen Sijiu while muttering.

Chen Sijiu ignored it, he unwrapped the package behind his back, took out a strange-looking giant bow from inside, and murmured: "Master really didn't lie to me, it's so cold in Liaobei, luckily we were prepared .”

He shook the snow water off his body, straightened the animal skin jacket, exposing the strong shoulder muscles like a tiger, sucked his mouth and sucked it, and within a dozen breaths, his face gradually became rosy, and a pair of eyes revealed a falcon He turned his head to look at Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi, and said with a faint smile: "You two brothers, I ate a pot of broth from you earlier, so let's eat meat with you with an eye-catching worm."

As he spoke, he walked over to pick up Zhao Liangha's wild boar hunting fork, weighed it in his hand, and said with some regret: "It's a bit lighter, but it's good enough."

He burned the hunting fork in a fire pit, ground it on a stone, and then turned his head to Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi who were stunned: "This big worm is very hungry, and it has followed us for more than 200 miles. Earth, we thought it should be hungry and exhausted!"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, held his breath until his face turned rosy, his eyes sparkled, he pushed open the stone house door made of wooden sticks and birch bark, and rolled out on the spot against the wind and snow.

"Tiger!"

Chen Sijiu roared loudly, his waist and limbs were like a big dragon, and he sent his strength from his spine, using a hunting fork as an arrow to pull the big bow with ox horns into a full moon, his eyes were like a falcon sticking to the string of the arrow, and in the snowstorm in the sky instantly Locked on the eye-catching worm that was as tall as a person under the old pine tree not far away.

At this moment, his strength just reached the apex of the tension in the spine, waist and hips, and with the courage in his chest, he shot an arrow!
Ow!

In the white-haired snow, a fierce tiger with red eyes and drooling eyes was just in mid-air when it was shot in the eyes by this arrow, and it was carried by the force and rolled straight up in the air, and thumped against the century-old tree. Life is cut off!
It roared in pain, and it could be heard in the surrounding mountains and forests for ten miles. Suddenly, the forest was frightened and birds flew, and countless wild animals ran away.

Chen Sijiu's stern eyes slowly retracted, he shook the snow off his body, and looked sideways at the stone house where generations of hunters had been hunting, because he had never seen such a ferocious tiger hunting scene in his life, and Zhao Liangha, who was dumbfounded, was stunned by the scene of hunting a tiger by himself. Liu Fourteen grinned and said, "You two heroes, we told you to treat you to tiger meat."

ps: Leng Zhizhi, Shi Naian, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang were the same imperial examination candidates in the Yuan Dynasty. Shi Naian and Liu Bowen won the exam, and Li Shanchang failed. As we all know, it is terrible to be a scholar who fails.
