The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 258 Ten years in the rivers and lakes, Mingjiao prospers (seeking monthly ticket)
"Have you heard? The Ming Cult has occupied Jiangxi and Hunan. Master Shi led the Ming Cult's four guardians and five-element flags to attack the city and occupy the land. Wherever he went, the people lined up to greet him. The Great Song Dynasty is really coming to an end."

"Who is this Master Shi? Why have you never heard of this person's name?"

"You don't know? Shi Wang, the leader of Shijiao, came from Taihu Lake. He was named 'Jintouao' in the rivers and lakes. It is rumored that when he was young, he was destined to be a fairy and protected the Dharma on Xianjia Island. Later, he was instructed by the fairy family to save the people, so he joined Mingjiao. "

"I heard that over the years, Sect Leader Shi has recruited many talents and employed them to make Mingjiao's business flourish."

"Immortal fate? What is this fairy fate?"

"Ten years ago in Taihu Lake, there was an island of immortals named 'Treasure Island'. It was originally a village of water bandits. Later, an immortal passed by here. This island."

"I heard that the beggar gang didn't care about life and death, offended the immortals, and sent boats to attack the island of the fairy family, but the immortals cast the fairy magic to summon the wind and rain, and in the Taihu Lake, there was a huge wave, and the entire boat of the beggar gang capsized. , masters of the beggar gang, and none of them survived."

"Hiss, is the fairy island still there? Can we visit the fairy?"

"Oh, I only hate that we are ten years late. I heard that the fairy island in Taihu Lake was originally used to receive ordinary people seeking immortality. Give gold and silver treasures, panacea."

"However, something happened later, which made the immortal furious. The immortal cast a spell, and the entire island of the immortal family disappeared."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

In a ruined temple in Jiangxi, there was heavy rain outside the temple, and several bonfires were lit inside the temple.

Several people from the rivers and lakes gathered around the fire, baking cakes and chatting.

Speaking of the famous Mingjiao these years, everyone can't help but look forward to it.

One of the teenagers kept urging: "You are telling me, what happened, why did you offend the immortal?"

"Hahaha, you kid, why are you so impatient? How can you tell a story without wine?" The big man who told the story laughed.

The young man quickly looked at the old servant beside him, and shouted, "Uncle Zhou, quickly bring the wine."

The old servant said with a bitter face, "Young master, this is a top-notch girl..."

"Don't ask mother-in-law and mother to let you heroes laugh at our Yi family."

The old servant had no choice but to take out the wine gourd, and without further ado, the young man handed the wine gourd to the big man who told the story, saying, "Uncle, try it."

The big man took the gourd, pulled off the lid, took a deep breath, and immediately shouted: "Good wine!"

He raised his head, gulped down a big gulp, and the wine entered his lungs, dispelling a lot of cold air.

The big man couldn't help laughing: "How can I enjoy such a delicious wine all by myself? Everyone, try it."

He was not stingy, but instead gave the drink to everyone.

Everyone thanked them one after another, drank the wine, and suddenly felt much warmer.

The young man couldn't help laughing when he saw how bold and enthusiastic he was, and felt that these big men in the rivers and lakes were quite close.

At this time, other people also spontaneously took out the butcher shop and jerky they brought with them, and shared them with everyone.

In the small ruined temple, there was a lot of excitement.

The boy surnamed Yi couldn't help but speak again: "Uncle, I've drunk this wine too, you're telling a story."

The big man laughed loudly: "Young people are just impatient, okay, let me talk about it."

"It is rumored that by the lakeside of Taihu Lake, there is an old family named Qian. This family has tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and is related to a certain high-ranking official in Lin'an, Zhejiang."

"This guy heard that the Fairy of Taihu Lake is extremely beautiful and rare in the world, so he was moved to a wrong mind."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised, and asked questions one after another.

"What's wrong with you?"

"This old fortune is so bold, how dare he have evil thoughts towards the fairy?"

"and then?"

The big man laughed and said, "This guy doesn't want the fairy himself, but wants to bring the fairy to Lin'an Mansion, and wants to give it to the fatuous emperor."

Everyone was furious.

"What a rich old man, how dare he insult the fairy like this."

"This old dog, damn it, actually wants to curry favor with Mrs. Zhao!"

"Damn it!"

"Brother, tell me quickly, what happened next?"

……

The big man took a sip of his drink and said with a smile: "This old rich man is so bold that he took a group of old servants, disguised as refugees whose homeland was invaded by Mongolian Tartars, and took a boat to the Xianjia Island."

"As soon as he entered the island, he was already in a daze. It is rumored that on the Treasure Island, the mountains are covered with gold and silver, and even the stones are covered with silver. The leaves on the trees are all gold leaves."

"Seeing this, several servants of the old rich man went crazy digging for gold and silver, pretending to be everywhere."

"However, this old fortune is a bit cunning. He guessed that it was just an immortal to test their sincerity, so he didn't go to take it. Instead, he cried and kowtowed at the mountain road, screaming miserably, saying that his family was seriously ill and begged the immortal Give medicine."

"Sure enough, his voice alarmed the golden boys and jade girls around the fairies. Seeing this, the golden boys and jade girls came to the foot of the mountain and gave them some panacea."

"Who would have thought that the old man who was rich and evil was born to the gallbladder, under the guise of gratitude, took the opportunity to approach, suddenly shot, grabbed a little jade girl, turned around and was about to kidnap her."

"I don't want those golden boys and jade girls, although they are young, their magic power is not bad. They have already killed several people in a single shot."

"When Tu Laocai saw this, he was frightened out of his wits. He brought the jade girl he had captured and tried his best to let the boat go."

"He arranged a large number of people outside the island to support him. Although several golden boys and jade girls have mana, they are not as proficient as the immortals, so they let him escape."

"Huh? The jade girl was taken away like this?" Someone exclaimed.

The boy surnamed Yi couldn't help but said angrily: "Pocai, who deserves to be killed, how dare he?"

"and then?"

Only the big man laughed and said: "Then? Then this local old man must have had a bad luck. After the Xian family knew about this, they were naturally furious and chased after him through the clouds and fog."

"There were many fishing boats on the lake that day, and I saw many immortals."

"But when the immortal raised his hand, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and a thunderbolt as thick as a person fell down with a bang."

"Guess what? The local rich man was directly struck by this lightning, turned into flying ash and coke, and died on the spot!"

"Good job!" Someone yelled.

The boy surnamed Yi couldn't help clapping his hands, and said with a smile: "This kind of old and rich man should be struck by lightning from the sky, even dare to strike the idea of ​​​​an immortal."

After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Uncle, what then? Didn't you say that after this incident, the Xianjia Island disappeared?"

The big man smiled and said: "That's right, this incident made the immortal furious, so he personally went to Tu Lao Cai's house, punished his family members, and even distributed his property to the nearby people. the people."

"However, after this incident, the immortal completely hated these people who went to the island to seek medicine. Three days later, above the Taihu Lake, the situation suddenly changed, and the wind blew violently."

"I don't know where the thick fog shrouded it. At noon, you can't see the scenery one meter away."

"The fishermen were frightened and kowtowed one after another, begging for forgiveness from the immortal family."

"Until the afternoon, the fog cleared and the lake was calm, but the fishermen suddenly discovered that the Xianjia Island, which was originally standing on the island, had disappeared!"

"Since then, the fairy legend has been passed down from word to mouth around Taihu Lake. No one has seen that 'Treasure Island' for ten years."

After he finished speaking, his face was full of sighs and emotions.

The boy surnamed Yi also looked yearning, and asked, "Uncle, how do you know this?"

The big man smiled mysteriously, and said: "It's near Taihu Lake, just ask around, everyone knows about it."

"Little brother, if you were an immortal, what would you do?"

The boy surnamed Yi thought for a while, and said, "It's me, and I'd be angry too. Isn't this the farmer and the snake? The immortal was kind enough to save people, but he saved a poisonous snake and almost hurt a little jade girl."

The big man laughed unceasingly, and everyone sighed with emotion. As they chatted, the topic turned to the current situation in the world unconsciously.

At present, the corruption of the Great Song Dynasty is completely hopeless, and there are rebellions against the king all over the world, among which Mingjiao is the most powerful.

As they talked, the big guy was sleepy and felt drowsy, so he fell asleep by the fire.

In the middle of the night, the big man who told the story suddenly got up and strode out of the ruined temple.

As soon as he left, the boy surnamed Yi immediately got up with a grunt. He ran out of the ruined temple lightly, chasing after the big man.

That big man has extraordinary foot strength and extremely fast speed. Who would have thought that this young man with the surname of clothes also possessed excellent martial arts, and followed him closely all the way.

After running for a stick of incense, the boy surnamed Yi paused, and saw the big man stopped in a pavilion.

He looked from afar, and saw a strange bird standing in the pavilion, the strange bird was as tall as a person, with powerful eyes and arms, but it looked extremely ugly.

But there was a young man standing beside that strange bird, this young man was full of energy, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was really handsome and handsome, like a fairy.

The boy surnamed Yi couldn't help but secretly surprised that there is such a handsome man in the world.

He listened attentively, but only heard the words of the big man.

"My subordinates refer to Yang Zuoshi, the disciples of Shanxi Hongshui Banner, and the Mongolian Tartars..."

The young man surnamed Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is this Yang Zuoshi? Why does the uncle want to kneel down to him when he looks young?"

He looked at Yang Zuoshi, but saw that Yang Zuoshi's mouth moved slightly, but he couldn't hear the sound, and he suddenly understood in his heart that the other party's skill was far superior to his own, and he was restraining his voice with internal force, so he naturally heard it. less than.

After a while, the two of them finished talking, and suddenly Zuo Envoy Yang turned his head to look in his direction.

The boy surnamed Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his figure, afraid of being seen by the other party.

He waited for a while, but when there was no movement, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just about to look up at the moment, he couldn't help being taken aback when he saw it, there was no one in the gazebo!
He was taken aback in his heart, wondering what is going on?
"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a playful laugh came from behind.

The boy surnamed Yi was taken aback and turned his head quickly.

But not far behind him, there was that Yang Zuoshi and a strange bird standing there!

His heart was pounding and he shouted, "You... are you... a human or a ghost?"

He asked himself that he was not weak in martial arts, but he didn't notice that he was approached by someone, and he was horrified.

The young man crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Little brother, what is the purpose of you running over to eavesdrop on my Mingjiao's conversation without sleeping?"

The young man surnamed Yi was taken aback, and said, "Mingjiao? Are you from Mingjiao? So is that uncle?"

"Little brother, let me ask you now. What's your name?"

Hearing this, the young man surnamed Yi clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Yi, and the single name is Xiu. People from Shuchuan, I have no intention of disturbing your teaching to discuss important matters tonight. It's just that the uncle mentioned the matter of the Taihu Immortal just now, and he was quite curious. , so keep up and want to make friends with him."

The young man couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the word 'Taihu Immortal', and immediately showed a look of nostalgia.

He was slightly lost in thought, but came back to his senses after a while, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you want to know about the immortals of Taihu Lake? Could it be that you also want to ask the immortals to ask?"

Yixiu blushed and said awkwardly: "I just admire the demeanor of the immortal, and want to witness it with my own eyes."

The young man laughed loudly: "The fairy's demeanor is indeed out of the world, but not everyone can see it, even me, I haven't seen it for several years."

Yixiu was shocked: "How many years? Didn't the immortals disappear ten years ago?"

The young man laughed unceasingly, and said: "Others can't see it, but I can see it."

Yixiu was full of curiosity, clasped his fists and asked, "I haven't asked for advice yet, what is your name?"

The young man was about to answer when he suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter not far away.

"He, nicknamed 'Yang Xiaohun', is also called 'Yang Birdman' now, puff, cluck cluck..."

Yixiu was startled again, someone approached him again, and he didn't realize it.

But this sound is really pleasant, like a silver bell, like a clear spring jingling, it is refreshing to hear.

He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw not far away, a woman in white was standing at some point, with blue hair, skin whiter than snow, and Yingying standing alone.

Standing there, she was like a fairy relegated to the mortal world, extremely beautiful and moving.

For a while, Yixiu couldn't help staring blankly.

But the young man said angrily: "Hong Lingbo, your nickname is nice, right? Do you want me to say it?"

The woman immediately smiled coquettishly: "'Condor Hero', the little girl knows her mistake, but don't talk nonsense in front of the little brother."

Yixiu was taken aback immediately, turned to look at the young man, and said, "You are Yang Guo, the famous 'Condor Hero' in the Jianghu?"

The young man chuckled, and the woman shouted: "He is still the 'Bright Left Envoy' of my Ming Cult, little brother, do you want to join my Ming Cult?"

Yixiu was surprised again, he looked back at Hong Lingbo, and said, "Sister is also a Mingjiao disciple?"

Yang Guo said with a smile, "She is my Mingjiao' Bright Right Envoy', known as 'Lingbo Fairy' Hong Lingbo, have you heard of it?"

Yixiu's eyes widened immediately: "Fairy Lingbo who is No. [-] in the Jianghu 'Phoenix List'?"

In Shuchuan, he thought he was number one. He never expected that when he first entered Jiangxi, he would meet two young heroes who were famous all over the world.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised in my heart, I couldn't help but secretly marvel.

These two people's martial arts are outstanding, and I am far inferior to them. They are worthy of being the envoys of the Ming Cult. I am afraid that there are so many masters in the Ming Cult.

Hong Lingbo giggled and said, "Hey, Yang Guo, how long will we be here? Uncle Shi Wang is still looking for us."

Yang Guo heard this and immediately said: "Why don't you leave quickly?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up."

"Joke, no matter how good your 'Lingbo Weibu' is, when it comes to traveling, my 'Tiyunzong' will be worse than yours?"

"Then let's compare!"

At that moment, the figures of the two of them flashed suddenly, Yixiu looked over, but saw that the woman seemed to be covered by light clouds like the moon, fluttering like snow blown by the wind, her body was flying swiftly, erratic like a god.

He suddenly understood that it was not an exaggeration for people in the Jianghu to call her "Fairy Lingbo".

Looking at the Condor Hero Yang Guo again, I saw him jumping high, every time he was exhausted, he could generate a force, like a ladder exists out of thin air, to help him fly again.

"Ti Yunzong...what a Ti Yunzong!"

Yixiu couldn't help being amazed, she just felt that she was just out of the rivers and lakes, and only then did she realize that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

"Mingjiao... Why does Mingjiao have such a great charm, attracting so many young talents to join?"

He couldn't help but think of joining the Ming Cult.

……

But Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo galloped all the way, and soon entered the city, and found Shi Wang in an inn.

When they entered the house, they couldn't help smiling when they saw Shi Wang.

Yang Guo clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Master."

Compared with ten years ago, Shi Wang not only has much better martial arts, but also has wrinkles on his face.

He laughed and said, "Without outsiders, it would be too much to call me the leader."

Hong Lingbo smiled and said, "Uncle Shi."

Shi Wang laughed loudly and said, "That's true."

"I asked you to come here today to discuss the capture of Hubei. Right now, the preparations are made there. The Five Elements Flag and the Four Great Guardians have already passed."

Yang Guo said, "I don't have any problems here."

Hong Lingbo nodded and said, "Me too."

Shi Wang said again: "One more thing, it's going to be the fifteenth day soon, the elixir jade that the island owner needs to buy, one of you has to go, I can't get away."

Yang Guo hurriedly shouted: "I'll go, I'll go, it's been three years since I left the island, I haven't been back yet, I don't know what happened to my mother and foster father."

Hong Lingbo hurriedly said: "No, it's my turn to go back this time, and I haven't returned for three years, I still miss Master and Junior Martial Uncle."

"Why, it's my turn to go back this time, Hong Lingbo, the matter in Hubei is of great importance, why don't you go away at this time?"

"Yang Guo, you are an old man. You don't think about making achievements all day long. What's the matter with thinking about your parents? I look down on you."

"Bah, if you look down on me, then look down on me, why should others look up to me, Yang Guo, I don't care, I'll go back this time!"

The two argued, and everyone wanted to go home and have a look.

Shi Wang couldn't help crying and laughing, rubbed his temples, quickly stopped the two of them, and said: "Well, I'm the master, you both go back, so that the island owner can rest assured."

"But after the [-]th day, we must rush to Hubei as soon as possible. The important thing is, understand?"

The two were overjoyed, and quickly took a mouthful of Uncle Shi, making Shi Wang wryly smile.

Suddenly Yang Guo said: "By the way, I came here today and met a young man. I think his bones and temperament are not bad. Uncle Shi, aren't you worried about passing on the legacy? Maybe you can try this man."

Hong Lingbo also said: "That young man is not very young, but he has practiced martial arts with a very good foundation."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wang asked, "Oh? There is another boy who can make you praise? Then I have to go and see, what's his name?"

"Yixiu."
