Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 37
Since there were many guests from Zhenwu Temple, Guan Luoyang and the others decided after discussion that Guan Luoyang and Qiudi would transfer the wounded and corpses to the back mountain and then transport them up.

As a big disciple, Qiu Shi immediately accompanied Qiu Liang to meet the senior masters from various sects.

After the sorcerer's body was sent to Zhenxie Hall, and the two wounded were settled in the courtyard, Qiudi also went to the main hall.

After all, Guan Luoyang was not from the Zhenwu Temple. On such an occasion, it was not suitable to go in and listen rashly, so he stayed in the back mountain courtyard to watch the knife.

This emerald-patterned ancient knife is indeed a treasure that can scream in the middle of the night in Qiudi's description. It has fought so many times with Zhao Qianniu's steel knife, but it has a few more scratches.

It's just that Guan Luoyang's explosive force at the end was too strong after all. When the back of the knife broke the opponent's steel knife, it also left a small gap.

Guan Luoyang stroked the back of the knife lightly, and when his fingers reached the tip of the knife, he turned around again, released his right hand, and held it on the side of the knife with only one finger of his left hand.

This is exactly where the center of gravity of the long knife lies, and the blade lies horizontally, without swinging or swinging.

The Golden Eyebrow Sword Technique he learned is based on the "Flying Phoenix Single Sword" method of Baimei Boxing in Mount Emei, combined with some martial arts concepts in the Ming Dynasty's "Sword Book", "Arm Records" and "Single Sword Method Selection". It has evolved over the years through actual attempts on the battlefield to learn from each other's strengths.

This set of sword techniques has absorbed some experience of fighting against the Japanese in the southeast coast of the year, and learned from each other's strengths, so it attaches great importance to the curvature of the blade body and the use of the moment when the sword is drawn.

But now the ancient knife in Guan Luoyang's hand has a straight back, a slightly wider blade, and a sharper tip, which is actually a little difficult for him to use.

It still needs some careful feeling and running-in before the knife can be used like an arm.

Guan Luoyang threw the saber up into the air, took the saber with his right hand, and spun in an orderly manner. The long saber danced around his body, stabbing up and down, swirling horizontally and chopping vertically, advancing and retreating with certainty.

After a round of saber technique practice, footprints appeared in a seven-foot-sized area in the yard, entwined like tangled hemp.

His clothes fluttered, he flicked his sleeves to put away the knife, and turned his head to look.

At the door, Qiuhua patted his stomach and praised: "Good saber technique, if I still have both hands, I must clap my hands and applaud louder."

Guan Luoyang never poked his scar, and directly brought up the topic of the knife, saying: "It's thanks to this good knife, if Qiudi hadn't lent me this knife, I would have been in a hurry when facing those strange monkeys , left and right."

Qiuhua said: "Actually, Master thinks this knife is too light, so he will not use it for ten years in Zhenxie Hall. In the past two years, this knife has gradually become spiritual, and it is restless at night. Master already wants to choose a suitable owner. It sent out."

He was seriously injured with a broken arm, and his face was pale, but he was still in good spirits at this time, and said with a smile, "I heard from Qiudi, benefactor's full name is Guan Luoyang?"

Guan Luoyang nodded: "I'm only in my early twenties, don't call me old."

"Okay, Brother Guan."

Qiuhua said, "Do you know the name of this knife?"

Guan Luoyang said: "Qiudi didn't say anything."

"Master and uncle unearthed this knife in an ancient battlefield. Master named it Shenzhou, but uncle said, since this knife has seen the light of day again, why should it be named after a rotten thing, so I used the homonym Call it, Cheng Zhou."

Qiuhua couldn't help laughing and said, "I really have a destiny with you."

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang City was called Chengzhou.

What Qiu Hua meant was to give the knife to Guan Luoyang, but after all, his master was not around, and the ownership of the knife could not be settled after all, so he didn't say anything to death.

Saying these words first is to let Guan Luoyang hold the knife with peace of mind.

The sound of the autumn flute came from outside the courtyard.

"This group of people chose at this time, really..."

He walked in with an angry face, and when asked by Guan Luoyang, he told what happened in the main hall like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Those people came for the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, although Jiaozhi has been a vassal state from time to time, the changes in various characters and festival customs have already been passed down from the Middle Kingdom and changed with the changes in the Middle Kingdom.

The Zhongyuan Dajiao and the Yulan Basin Festival have also been customs that have lasted for thousands of years in Jiaozhi.

Every year on July [-]th, Taoist monks, monks, and even those gods and witches pray for the dead, praying for their peace, and praying for the living, praying for their peace.

In fact, this kind of event was originally called the Yulan Basin, but Ming Dynasty advocated Taoism. Eighty years ago, after Chen Yonghua recovered Jiaozhi, the people moved south to reward cultivation and cultivation. The saying of Dajiao in Yuan Dynasty.

40 years ago, Wudang Dongyuan Daoist went to Jiaozhi to overhaul the Fengzhao Zhenwu Temple, borrowed the righteousness of the court, and the fifteen schools of Jiaozhi to discuss Taoism and make an alliance agreement.

The emperor bestowed the talisman order of the Great Master Yulu as a token of the covenant. Once a warlock commits a large-scale misfortune, with this order, the righteous sects of the fifteen prefectures can be summoned to quell the calamity and bring peace to the people.

The faction holding this talisman will naturally become the host of the local Zhongyuan Dajiao.

This kind of thing is a custom. Originally, people from all parties just need to wait until July [-]th to accept the guidance and go on their own tours. There is no need to come to discuss with Taoist Jiuying and the others so early.

But this year's Great Dharma Conference in the Underworld has many special features.

Because of the overturning of the dragon in the field more than three months ago, it affected more than ten counties in the whole prefecture, frequent disasters and evils, and many victims.

On the other side of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yue Wang Zheng Gui was sent to inspect Jiaozhi to condolences to the people's livelihood. He may arrive at Chengyin Mansion together with Jiaozhi Cheng to announce the political envoy and prosecute him.

King Yue's status is precious, so there is no need to say more.

And Chengxuan's Political Envoy Division, who is in charge of the people's livelihood and finances of the [-]th Cochin Prefecture, and the Procuratorial Division responsible for the criminal arrest of the entire territory of Jiaozhi, is also a high-ranking official in Xinjiang.

Therefore, this time, the grand ceremony of the Zhongyuan Festival in Chengyin Mansion will be far more grand than before.

Master Wei Dinggong, the abbot of Leshi Temple, together with Master Yanglian of Motian Temple, informed people from various nearby Taoist temples and came to discuss together.

The monks who are usually indifferent to fame and fortune, actually can't take it calmly when encountering this kind of thing. This behavior is almost like those country gentry and wealthy businessmen who like to curry favor with the powerful.

Guan Luoyang stood with his sword in his arms, laughed softly, and said, "Isn't it a coincidence that they came here?"

"You mean..." Qiudi hesitated for a moment, "It's unlikely. Master Yang Lian was the one who rescued the group of water pirate warlocks back then. Daoist Guanzhiyuan, Master Yuanyuan of Shengmu Temple, these seniors who have good friends with our master."

Qiuhua said: "Wei Dinggong is a vulgar person, and he is even willing to cater to people like Ma Qiang. Once he hears that King Yue is coming, he will take the lead in contacting various factions and do this kind of thing." , it's not surprising."

Guan Luoyang said: "Jiuying and Jiuhe are not here, so what are they going to do now?"

"They are planning to stay in the town down the mountain for a few days until Master comes back."

Before Qiudi finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the main hall.

Guan Luoyang had the best hearing ability, and when he listened intently, he clearly heard Qiu Shi's frightened and angry growl in disbelief.
