Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 82 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
In the afternoon of the seventh day, the phenology was updated.

Taoist Huang He never dreamed that he would one day master the Seven-Star True Immortal Formation.

Master Yuanyang is a sword-wielding prodigy. His Black Iron Sword can draw eleven sword flowers with one strike. During normal inspections, at most three or two rounds, all the swords of the disciples will be knocked to the ground, and they will be furious. Master De Yuanyang often shouted: "Idiots, idiots, they are all idiots."

Still in the Chongxiao Hall, Master Yuanyang leisurely raised the Black Iron Sword and gathered his strength.

However, I saw that the steps of the swordsmen in the sword array were light and graceful, flying gracefully like butterflies. The sword moves were gorgeous and numerous, emerging one after another, and the moves went straight to the vital point.

Master Yuanyang held his breath and concentrated on charging into the formation with his sword. The formation was continuous, and if there was a slight flaw, the sword formation would fill the gaps on its own. The seven stars were calm and relaxed, with graceful postures, supporting each other, and sometimes gods would come. trick.

Such a hand-to-hand fight lasted as long as a stick of incense. Master Yuanyang secretly thought to himself that he had no chance of winning, so he laughed and threw the Black Iron Sword out of the formation.Taoist Priest Qingyang immediately gave the order to stop, and everyone was secretly surprised.

"Junior brother, after ten years of hard work, he has mastered this supreme magic. I am very happy and congratulated." Master Yuanyang nodded in approval, then looked around at the disciples and said: "Uncle Qingyang taught me the immortal formation. You have great fortunes. Today's formation Don't be complacent about the success of the Dharma. You still need to practice it diligently in the future. After you come down from the mountain, you must obey Master Uncle's orders."

Everyone said: "We obey your order.",

At dawn the next day, Huang He said goodbye to the real person and other brothers, and Huang He followed everyone down the mountain.

The spring grass in the mountains is luxuriant, with goose yellow and light green. The yellow crane is sad about separation, thinking about this situation, when will we meet again.

The inn at the foot of Tiandu Mountain has already prepared food, water and green donkeys, and hired a few servants to help them on the road.

Taoist priest Qingyang didn't seem to be in a hurry. He only set off when the sun was high for several days in a row. He checked in before midnight in the afternoon and took good care of food and accommodation.

Huang He had never been to a place so far away from Tiandu Mountain, and all kinds of people and things made him shy.The young men and women of his age in the markets he passed on the way were knowledgeable and eloquent, speaking words that Huang He could and could not understand.

Huang He simply didn't dare to speak easily, so he just imitated his senior brother's example in everything.

The eldest brother was just the opposite to him. He was very interested in everything he saw on the road. Wherever he went, he wanted to chat with a shopkeeper, an old man selling pulp, or a woman in laundry.

As time goes by, the scenery on both sides of the official road changes from desolate to densely populated.

On the fourth day, we stayed in a lively market place. In the evening, a group of horse teams with bright uniforms entered the inn where Huang He and his friends were staying temporarily.The leader was a fair, middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe. Looking at his appearance, the senior brother said he seemed to be an official.

This middle-aged official was obviously familiar with Taoist Priest Qingyang. They talked secretly in the inner room for half the night, and the cavalry team left that night.

Early the next morning, several magnificent Qingman double-column carriages were parked in front of the inn, and Taoist Master Qingyang announced that everyone would drive forward next.

Before boarding the bus, according to past habits, Taoist Master Qingyang would say a few words to explain to the six disciples, sometimes just talking and laughing.

On this day, he solemnly asked his servants to move a few boxes to Huang He's residence.There are six robes in the box. The purple robes are embroidered with cranes and unicorns with gold and silver threads and inlaid with pearls. It is obvious at a glance that these robes are very luxurious.

Putting on the impressive robe and boarding the tall and spacious carriage, Huang He felt in a trance that he was like a fairy.But there was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. Only high-level magicians were qualified to wear the heavenly robe. Taoist Qingyang would not have known it.

The car drove along the thoroughfare for nearly two hours and stopped in front of a majestic city.

Taoist priest Qingyang said, "The old county of Yuzhang is the new capital of Hongdu." This city was the fiefdom of King Yuzhang.

Huang He didn't quite understand the words of Wenzhou. He had read very few books, but he understood that the destination had been reached and his spirits were lifted.

The procedures for entering the city were all handled by the servants. The carriage team was not inspected and drove into the city gate in a dignified manner.

Yuzhang City is so big that Huang He can't even imagine it.After passing through an unknown number of streets and streets, the carriage stopped in an open space, with a high platform standing in front of it, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from the platform.

In the afternoon, when the dusk clouds gathered around, a waiter came hurriedly under the high platform, met with Taoist Master Qingyang and made a common gesture.

Taoist Master Qingyang asked six disciples to follow him, and under the guidance of the waiter, they climbed to the high platform from the corner gate.

After climbing about three flights of stairs, we were under the eaves of the West Wing Hall. Directly south was a broad stone platform. At this moment, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and a middle-aged man dressed as a prince was burning incense and paying homage on the platform.

Taoist Master Qingyang lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Wait for a moment, the fireworks will rise from the sky, and you will follow me and jump off the stone platform. From here, jump onto the platform, only four feet away, and you will be safe. Just do it when you get to the platform. Follow the steps of the Seven-Star True Immortal Formation, follow my orders when advancing or retreating, not only to assist King Yuzhang, but also to show off the abilities of our Tiandu Sect."

After repeating the instructions several times, all the disciples knew the process by heart.

Finally, when the time came for the fireworks to take off, Taoist Master Qingyang leaped into the air with his sword in hand, his green blade dazzling and majestic.Huang He and other disciples sank one by one. Looking from a distance, it looked like clouds and flowing water, like gods descending to earth. Under the shadow of fireworks and candles, the pearls were shining brightly and the sword was shining. It was really beautiful.

Huang He was a little cautious at first, but when he saw that Taoist Master Qingyang was commanding properly and had a measured advance and retreat, he simply closed his eyes and regarded it as a normal practice of sword formation.

In the sight of a cup of tea, Taoist Priest Qingyang stopped his formation and knelt down to worship the middle-aged man who looked like a prince. He had a strong inner strength, his anger came out of his Dantian, and his voice was extremely clear: "King Yuzhang, the Miao descendant of Taizu, has been appointed by heaven. , The Seven-Star True Immortal is willing to be driven."

After saying this several times, the audience on the stage burst into applause and cheered, "Seven-star true immortals descend to the earth, seven-star true immortals descend to the earth."

King Yuzhang had already helped Taoist Priest Qingyang up and invited him to ride with him in a car.

Huang Que's inner uneasiness was even worse. He had no knowledge and could only watch the actions of his brothers.

After that night, Brother Huang He was placed in the North Garden of the Royal Palace Guesthouse.He never saw King Yuzhang again. Although Taoist Priest Qingyang lived with them in Beiyuan and was often invited to counsel on military matters, he did not see him often.
