Longevity begins with a proud smile

After King Ruyang withdrew his troops, everyone expected that the Yuan army would not come again within two or three months.

It's night, the moon is as bright as day, a banquet is held in Butterfly Valley,

Zhuo Lingfeng proposed to reorganize the Beggar Clan and Mingjiao. This time, he wanted to conquer the world. He could not follow the Jianghu route. He had to follow the military and political route from the beginning, so it was natural to integrate forces.

The Beggar Clan is responsible for investigating the news, the Ming Cult is the main attacker, and Zhang Wuji is appointed as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Zhuo Lingfeng put forward the three major disciplines and eight points of attention for future generations as the uprising program, and no one was allowed to defy it.

This idea is consistent with Zhang Wuji's personality, so naturally he strongly agrees with it.

The next day, the reorganization of Butterfly Valley was completed.

Mingjiao Yin Yewang and Li Tianyuan led the Ming army of the East Road, Han Shantong and Zhao Junyong, and the members of Tongtian Yingjiao's Tianweitang, Tianshitang, Zhuque Xuanwu, and Shentan three altars, and started an uprising in the Jianghuai River. The Beggar Clan took the lead. Lead the subordinates to help.

Mingjiao Yin Tianzheng and Peng Yingyu led the Southern Route Army Xu Shouhui, Bu Puwang, Mingwu, etc., and contacted Zhou Ziwang's old people to initiate uprisings in the Gan, Rao, Yuan, and Xin states of Jiangxi. Tianying Sect Ziweitang and Qinglong Baihu Er Tan Jun rushed to Jiangxi, and Zhang Bo Longtou of the Beggar Clan led his subordinates to assist.

Mingjiao Yang Xiao and Budai monk said that they could not lead Liu Futong, Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, Sheng Wenyu, Wang Xianzhong, Han Jiaoer and others of the North Route Army, and contacted the old people belonging to Bang Hu to start a rebellion in the Yingchuan area of ​​​​Henan. They were assisted by the elders of the Beggar Clan and a group of disciples. .

Taoist Tieguan and Zhou Dian led the West Route Army Bu Sanwang, Meng Haima and others to start a rebellion in the Xiangchu and Jingxiang areas, assisted by the law enforcement elders of the Beggar Gang.

Leng Qian joined the Mingjiao followers in the Western Regions to intercept the Mongolian reinforcements heading to the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

The Five Elements Banner of Mingjiao was dispatched by the headquarters. Wherever there was a tight situation, they would provide support. The martial arts heroes present also became subordinates and cooperated with the army to attack the city. They mainly assassinated Mongolian officials.

These arrangements and strategies were all planned by Zhuo Lingfeng, Yang Xiao and Peng Yingyu, and were announced by Zhang Wuji.

Qunhao understands everything, but is somewhat resistant to Zhuo Lingfeng's proposal of assassination. It's really a bit embarrassing to think that you are all famous heroes and do such dirty things.

Fortunately, Zhuo Lingfeng told him that fighting for the world was different from fighting for supremacy in the world, which was also the reason why everyone changed their minds. Only then did Qunhao agree.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, Wu Liang and others were all great talents.

Then he told Zhang Wuji that he would bring Zhu Yuanzhang and Hua Yun to the headquarters to assist in military affairs. However, Zhuo Lingfeng asked Zhang Wuji to pay more attention to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Wuji met Zhu Yuanzhang when he took Yang Buhui to Kunlun Mountain when he was a child. He knew that he was ruthless and ruthless. When Zhuo Lingfeng reminded him, he immediately understood, but he didn't care much.

As long as it was conducive to expelling the Tartars, he would tolerate anyone and give up any rights.

Then Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, and Wu Zhen were asked to assist the Yin Ye King; Xu Da, Tang He, and Wu Liang were transferred to the South Route Army; Zhu Yuanzhang's general Li Wenzhong and Feng Sheng were transferred to the North Route Army to be commanded by Yang Xiao, and Xu Shouhui's general Fu Youde was transferred to the west route army. The road is directed by Taoist Tieguan.

Zhang Wuji added: "With the power of our religion and the Beggar Clan alone, it is difficult to shake the nearly century-old foundation of the Yuan Dynasty. Today, if we can work together with the heroes of the world, we will achieve great success."

At present, all the leaders of the martial arts community in the Central Plains are here. I have something to say first. All brothers must take loyalty as the most important thing and put important things first. They must not fight for power and gain or kill each other. If there are such unjust reasons, I and Zhuo Gang Leader will not forgive you. Rao. "

Everyone agreed in unison: "I will never violate the order of the leader of the alliance!" The valley rang with shouts. At this moment, everyone made an alliance with their blood, burned incense as an oath, and decided to die to live up to their righteousness.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone on the road said goodbye to each other.

Although everyone is a hero with a generous spirit, they all feel a sense of farewell when they think of the bloody battles that will take place in the future, who will survive and who will die.

I don’t know who suddenly sang loudly: "Burn my broken body with the blazing holy fire. What joy is there in life? What pain is there in death! To eliminate evil for good, there is only light. Joy and sorrow all return to the dust. Have mercy on me, the world, and the sorrow is real Many! Have mercy on me, the world, for there are many sorrows!”

The heroes who participated in the siege of Guangmingding knew that these verses were recited by the Ming Cult members before death. Moreover, the Ming Cult members cheered in unison, and some people were deeply moved.

Everyone knows that they don't care about their own death, but they pity everyone's worries and troubles. This is really a benevolent and courageous mind. The person who founded Mingjiao back then was truly an amazing person.

The song "Have mercy on my people, there are many sorrows! Have mercy on my people, there are many sorrows!", flying in the Butterfly Valley.

The heroes walked up to Zhang Wuji and Zhuo Lingfeng one by one, bowed and saluted, walked out with their heads held high, and never looked back.

Both Zhuo and Zhang knew that such a good man would soon spill his blood all over the Central Plains in the next few years, and they didn't know how many of them would survive. Zhuo Lingfeng sighed, and Zhang Wuji couldn't help but burst into tears.

But the singing gradually faded away, the heroes dispersed, and the Butterfly Valley, which had been lively for several days, returned to silence.

Three months later, the rebels raised troops from all over the country at the same time. King Ruyang and his son had already returned to Mobei with their trusted followers. Emperor Yuan Shun originally wanted to conquer, but there were changes in the Central Plains, so he could only deal with the rebels first. They fought endlessly with each other and could no longer deal with you. King Yang.

However, the rebel army grew in strength, and major factions assisted with their full strength, assassinating important military and political officials, which made it difficult for the Mongolian army to provide logistics. The Han people had been suffering for a long time, and the people were eating pots of milk to support the king's army. Many important towns in the Yuan Dynasty were located one by one. There are also many people who fell and surrendered looking for the wind.

The Yuan Dynasty judged the situation and decided to abandon Dadu and flee to Mobei.

……

Two years later, the east sea waves rolled into the sky with angry waves.

On Peach Blossom Island, the sunset fills the mountains.

On the boulder of the isolated island, Zhuo Lingfeng stood tall. In his hand, he was holding a piece of letter paper with small characters densely written on it.

Zhuo Lingfeng sighed quietly, and there was a wisp of turbid air between his eyebrows.

"Brother Feng, are you worried about something?"

A sound as crisp as the collision of jade beads sounded behind him.

Zhuo Lingfeng turned around and saw Zhao Min walking slowly along the winding road facing the faint sunshine.

She was dressed simply, with a slight bulge in her belly. A slender jade hand gently held her belly, with a faint smile on her lips.

But at this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and coupled with her grandeur from the inside out, she really looked very elegant.

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled but stopped talking.

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Is there anything else you can't say to me?"

Zhuo Lingfeng said softly: "Most of them have been conquered by the rebels, but the power of the Mingjiao has fallen into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang."

Mongolia was in decline, and he didn't want to tell Zhao Min about this.

Zhao Min naturally knew his concerns and did not mention this. He smiled and said: "Brother Feng, everyone wants to choose you to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. You don't agree. You also say that Zhang Wuji is not an ambitious person, but Zhu Yuanzhang is a man of great talent. With the talent of an emperor, wouldn't it be natural for him to have this day?

Could it be that you regret it now and want to have the emperor's addiction? "She smiled sweetly and playfully.

Zhuo Lingfeng had naturally told Zhao Min about Zhu Yuanzhang's life and events.

Zhuo Lingfeng let out a long sigh and said: "That's not the case. This young Zhu Yuanzhang is poor and has suffered a lot in the world. He seems to be confident, but in fact he has low self-esteem.

Therefore, he combines generosity and magnanimity with engraved small tools. If the Mongolian and Yuan forces are not completely eliminated, he knows how to make good use of people. But one day, when the world is peaceful, those princes, generals and ministers with great abilities will become his taboo.

Since he was in poverty back then, he was most afraid that his descendants would experience the same hardships again. He would definitely break the earth and make his son a king, and he would also set a rule that as long as Zhu's descendants, regardless of their direct concubines, the court would reward them with money and materials, support them throughout their lives, and provide them with support throughout their lives. If there are treacherous ministers, the vassal king can also raise troops to serve the king, just to ensure that the Zhu family can be passed down from generation to generation. "

Zhao Min was extremely smart. After thinking for a while, he came to an understanding and said: "After all, Zhu Yuanzhang also hopes that the country he conquered can exist for eternity, just like Qin Shihuang!"

"It's different!" Zhuo Lingfeng said solemnly: "Qin Shihuang was born in a noble family, and he was so domineering and arrogant that he would never kill any heroes. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's experience and character will definitely kill heroes."

Zhao Min nodded slightly and said: "So people like him will definitely carry out large-scale killings in order to pave the way for his descendants. That's why you suggested Zhang Wuji to transfer Zhu Yuanzhang to his side and not let him go out to lead the army. You just hope to use his abilities, but you don't give him An opportunity to win over the army!"

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded: "In the course of history, the two cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu were so implicated that tens of thousands of people were killed, causing a bloody storm and putting everyone in danger.

However, when his children and grandchildren broke the national law, they always defended him and made big and trivial matters into trivial matters!

Therefore, for a person like him who regards the world as his own backyard, becoming an emperor may not necessarily be a blessing to the people.

Unexpectedly, he still came to power! "

Zhao Min showed a hint of understanding and sighed quietly: "You are afraid that he will get rid of all the heroes who conquer the world in the future!"

A look of helplessness flashed across Zhuo Lingfeng's face, and he said: "Yes, I left the Beggar Clan and saw that the world was about to fall. If I was eventually killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, then I would be so sorry to them!"

Zhao Min said: "You have the power to reach heaven and earth. Even if you can't kill him, why don't you give him a warning?"

There was a touch of tenderness in Zhuo Lingfeng's brows, and he reached out and took Zhao Min into his arms, looking at the ocean without saying a word.

The two were silent for a while, then Zhao Min suddenly said: "You think the world is easy to move but difficult to calm down. The people are already in dire straits, and the world is about to be settled. If you go to Zhu Yuanzhang, you are afraid that the people will not live in peace."

The tenderness contained in Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes became more and more intense, and seemed to be turning into substance. He surrounded the pretty woman in front of him and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang is a powerful man in the world, how can he allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed? If I want to take his life, maybe not It’s difficult, but if you want to threaten him, it’s useless. Instead, you’ll create a deadly feud!”

Zhuo Lingfeng paused and said quietly: "If he kills me, you and our children will not be spared either!

If I kill him, everyone in the Ming Cult will also regard me as their enemy, and even more people will take advantage of the situation to fight for hegemony again and bring disaster to the common people. "

“The lesser of two evils!”

Zhao Min took a long breath, with sadness in his eyes and tenderness in his eyes, infinite sweetness in his heart, and he sighed deeply: "I am very happy that you can think of my mother and son.

I am not disturbing your justice with personal affairs, but even if you are talented, it is difficult for you to take care of human affairs. Zhu Yuanzhang can replace Zhang Wuji, which shows that you have matured.

Otherwise, let the elders of the Beggar Clan retire from the world like you. If they are greedy and reluctant to part with fame and wealth, and one day they end up bleeding for no reason, then this is their choice! Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly turned around, smiled at a huge stone, and said loudly: "Since Miss Zhou is here, why don't you show up to meet her!" "

This sentence came out suddenly. Zhao Min couldn't help being startled. He heard a gust of wind in the air. He turned around and saw a white shadow rising from behind the stone. It hit Liu Yao in mid-air. The rising trend suddenly changed, and his body suddenly moved. It turned and tilted, and it flew forward in a flat and diagonal direction.

The figure suddenly paused, and Zhou Zhiruo was already standing in front of the two of them with a straight face.

Zhuo Lingfeng saw this extremely fast movement and knew that her martial arts had improved again. He said with a smile: "I'm glad that the girl has recovered!"

When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she couldn't help but bring back her old hatred. She gave a cold and ruthless smile and said: "You two are quite free here, but this girl has been nursing an injury for a year. Today's debt is going to be huge." Let’s settle it with you!”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the man started to move, grabbing Zhuo Lingfeng's throat and chest with his claws.

Zhuo Lingfeng had not fought with anyone for a long time and was a little itchy. When he saw the claw force coming, he moved slightly and turned around. He had already dodged a move and said: "Your martial arts has improved a lot!"

Zhou Zhiruo didn't close her claws, she tapped the ground with her toes, tilted her body along her right claw, made a circle like a willow blowing in the wind, and grabbed Zhuo Lingfeng's waist.

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly dwarfed, followed the wind of his claws, and floated eight feet away to the left. He smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, this attack is a bit cruel!"

Zhou Zhiruo's subordinates did not hesitate. They retracted and exhaled their right hand, using the force of wind and thunder, to grab Zhuo Lingfeng's shoulder.

On one side of Zhuo Lingfeng's body, there was a whooshing sound, and a claw passed over his shoulder.

Zhao Min saw that Zhou Zhiruo's feet were barely touching the ground, walking like a ghost, his "Nine Yin White Bone Claws" were erratic, and his moves were unpredictable. Even so, there was nothing he could do when encountering Zhuo Lingfeng.

It seemed that Zhuo Lingfeng was always caught, but at the last moment, Zhuo Lingfeng dodged left and right to avoid the violent claws, but did not fight back.

Zhao Min felt unhappy and couldn't help but snorted coldly,

At this time, Zhou Zhiruo grabbed Zhuo Lingfeng's chest with a claw, but Zhuo Lingfeng did not dodge.

Zhou Zhiruo has been diligently practicing the Nine Yin Scriptures for the past two years, and the girl in yellow has helped her immerse herself in the practice, and her skills have greatly improved. How powerful is this claw?

Seeing that Zhuo Lingfeng didn't dodge now, he thought to himself: "You are too crazy, you can't blame me for this!"

Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts changed for the first time, and she looked at Zhuo Lingfeng's face with a kind of relief, thinking: "He let me go in every way, and the last time he hurt me, he had no choice but to do it! But I still can't forget this, and I came here to talk to him Embarrassed!"

With this scruple in his heart, he was about to stop his claws, but he was already too late. With a chirping sound, he hit Zhuo Lingfeng in the chest.

With the help of his claws, Zhuo Lingfeng jumped about ten feet away and dusted off his robe. He saw a few pieces of cloth on his clothes and five more holes on his chest.

Zhuo Lingfeng cupped his hands and smiled: "Miss Zhou, now we are clear!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo knew in her heart that he had finally struck back at her, and her face turned pale.

Zhao Min didn't know what she had in mind, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You were so fierce just now, why don't you fight now?"

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned red when she was asked, and she smiled and said: "Although I am not as good as Mrs. Zhuo in both civil and military skills, I also know the principle of giving up when something is good. If I provoke you again, Sister Yang will not be here."

Now it was Zhuo Lingfeng's turn to blush. Knowing what she meant, he showed no mercy to her that day.

Zhao Min clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's quite right!"

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Are you very proud?"

Zhao Min smiled and said: "Don't dare!"

Seeing that the two were fighting again, Zhuo Lingfeng quickly grabbed Zhao Min and said, "Mei Min..."

"What? Are you feeling distressed?"

Zhao Min pouted.

Zhuo Lingfeng said cautiously: "No way, I'm afraid you might have fetal force."

Zhou Zhiruo saw Zhao Min's slightly bulging belly and couldn't help but snorted: "It's so funny that the leader of the Beggar Clan is willing to retire for the sake of a woman!"

Zhuo Lingfeng said: "When the matter is over, take off your clothes and hide your body and name." When I read this sentence by Li Bai, I admired such a free and easy person, and hoped that one day I could imitate him.

But people are in the arena, and they can't help themselves. Now everyone is unanimously speaking to the outside world. How can we not seize such an opportunity! "

Zhou Zhiruo sighed and said: "You have incredible skills and are arrogant in the world. You also lead the largest gang in the world and are extremely powerful. However, a person like you has to be a hermit. I don't know what you are thinking about. "

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said: "Unparalleled magical power? Soaring power? Haha, these are all castles in the air, but I know more, so I can see more clearly!"

Zhou Zhiruo glanced sideways at Zhao Min and said with a flat mouth: "You are obviously from a Taoist family, but you talk like an eminent monk. Do you want to become a monk?"

Zhuo Lingfeng said: "I don't want to be a monk. But fame and gain are harmful to others, like honey mixed with poison. People don't realize it until they die. This has been the case since ancient times.

I think back then, the Chongyang Patriarch was so successful in martial arts that he became a monk and became a Taoist monk. As a result, Yang Shijie’s mother-in-law, the Patriarch, died young!

Both of them are pitiful and pathetic, which makes people sigh even more.

Later, Master Chongyang realized that he was passionate about martial arts and was obsessed with fame and fortune. He was the biggest fool in the world. Therefore, he warned his disciples to be modest and disliked Patriarch Qiu, who was the most skilled in martial arts.

Thinking of this is like a wake-up call, so I don’t want to fight for these beautiful things in the mirror! "

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly said: "No wonder Sister Yang said that when Master Chongyang took away the Nine Yin Manual, he did not let his disciples practice it."

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded: "Master Chongyang knew that once he learns martial arts, he will inevitably become competitive and it is difficult to live a comfortable life. Therefore, he himself does not attach much importance to the inheritance of martial arts."

"well said!"

"It's hard to be comfortable in a good life!"

A vigorous and powerful voice rang in several people's ears.

"This statement deeply resonates with me. Everything in the world is nothing but an illusion, and everything in the world is empty!"

The three of them followed the sound and saw a white-haired old man with high sleeves and robes. There seemed to be an invisible force all over his body, gently lifting him into the air, so he floated over like a god.

"Zhenzhen Zhang!"

Zhuo Lingfeng looked confused, suppressed his heartbeat, and looked at Zhou Zhiruo: "You guys came together?"

Since he became an artist, his inner strength has been greatly improved, and his spiritual awareness has also become astonishing. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to approach him without being aware of it.

Therefore, he could detect Zhou Zhiruo approaching, but when Zhang Sanfeng arrived, he knew nothing about it and felt awe-inspiring.

"Yes!" Zhou Zhiruo spoke slowly and in a leisurely tone.

The two of them asked and answered questions, and Zhang Sanfeng had already landed in front of Zhuo Lingfeng and others, not even a speck of dust, and even lighter than a bird.

Zhang Sanfeng was wearing a gray monk's robe, which was very messy. His bun was lopsided, and his pale hair was spread like weeds. He looked a bit slovenly, which was very inconsistent with the image of his senior master. But his face was ruddy, and he didn't look like an old man who was over a hundred years old at all. Instead, he looked like an old man in his seventies.

"Master." Zhao Min said apologetically.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded to Zhao Min, then looked at Zhou Zhiruo and smiled slightly: "I have heard about the name of the Nine Yin Manual for a long time, and this 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw' is indeed erratic and sharp, and the name is true."

Zhang Sanfeng, a great master of the first generation, had sharp eyes and could see through Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts foundation at a glance.

Zhou Zhiruo said hurriedly: "How dare a real person praise this little girl for her meager skills!"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhao Min, then looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said: "You two are both extraordinary women in the world, and it would be a great disgrace to the two of you. Zhuo Xiaoyou just hopes that you two can not fight or compete, even if you can't be friends." , we can always respect each other and not be enemies!"

Zhao Min smiled and said: "He is unfounded. I don't want to fight with her right now. Besides, her martial arts is indeed better than mine. I can't beat her either."

She said playfully, her tone a bit playful and a bit self-effacing.

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said: "If you can't fight and don't fight, it doesn't matter. If you can beat and don't fight, that's really great!"

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min looked confused and did not understand what he meant, so they could only respond: "Disciple, I obey."

"Junior, please obey!"

Zhuo Lingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Why is Master Zhang here here?"

Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly and said: "I have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, but the only thing I have not been able to resolve is the way of martial arts. Today, Shaolin is the most famous martial arts school, so I want Wudang martial arts to be as good as Bodhidharma's teachings.

Now I heard that the "Nine Yin Manual" has appeared in this world, and you are the successor of the Chongyang Master. The old Taoist wants to compete with you! "

Although Zhang Sanfeng's words were light, his tone was sonorous and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min both stared at Zhuo Lingfeng quietly with their beautiful eyes widened.

Zhuo Lingfeng frowned slightly and muttered: "The real person is looking for me, Zhuo Lingfeng, or he wants to get a glimpse of the style of his ancestors from my martial arts!" (End of Chapter)
