Chapter 5 chapter Five

On the rocky hill in front of a big cave, Xiao Banhe, Mrs. Yuan Yang, Yuan Guannan, Xiao Zhonghui, Lin Yulong and his wife, about 20 family members and disciples, and more than 300 guests and friends gathered around several fires.Roe deer and yellow deer were roasting on the fire, and the aroma was sent into everyone's nostrils. Xiao Banhe coughed and stretched out his hand to stroke his beard. This has been his practice for more than ten years. Every time he has something important to say, he always touches his beard first.But this time there was nothing left, his chin was bare, and he didn't even have a beard.He smiled slightly and said: "My friends in the Jianghu think highly of me, and I, Xiao Yi, are still number one in the martial arts. But who knows, I, Xiao Yi, am a eunuch."

Everyone was startled, the words "I, Xiao Yi, an eunuch" came to their ears, everyone thought they heard it wrong, but seeing Xiao Banhe's serious face, it was definitely not a joke.Mrs. Yuan and Yang looked at each other and lowered their heads. Xiao Banhe said: "That's right, I, Xiao Yi, am a eunuch. I purged myself when I was sixteen years old, and entered the palace to serve the emperor, in order to assassinate the Manchu emperor and avenge my late father. My father lived with Manchu The Qing Tartars were at odds with each other and were finally killed. My father's seven sworn brothers pledged blood to avenge their late father, but the Manchu dynasty was so powerful that none of my seven uncles and uncles could die well. It wasn't because of fighting To be killed by the guards of the Qing Palace is to be arrested and executed by Ling Chi, and this enmity will grow deeper and deeper. I think carefully, if I want to practice the same kung fu as my father and these seven uncles, it may not be possible to spend my whole life If I can do it, even if I have practiced it well, I may not be able to avenge blood, so I am willing to cleanse myself and become a lowly eunuch who is looked down upon by everyone." Hearing this, everyone admired his painstaking efforts.

Xiao Banhe continued: "However, in the Forbidden Palace, how strict the guards are is beyond what I could have imagined at the beginning. Let alone approaching the Emperor, it is really not easy to see the Emperor. In more than ten years , although I waited for the opportunity every day and night, I still couldn't make it. One night sixteen years ago, I heard two guards in the palace talk about the emperor's knowledge that there was a pair of "mandarin duck swords" in the world. Those who can be invincible in the world, this pair of swords were divided into the hands of a hero named Yuan and a hero named Yang. So the emperor arrested Yuan and Yang's family and forced them to hand over the sword. The two heroes died unyielding However, the wives of the two heroes were arrested and sent to prison." When he said this, the second wife Yuan and Yang burst into tears, and suddenly hugged each other and cried loudly.

Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui looked at each other, both sad and happy in their hearts.I only heard Xiao Banhe say: "At that time I thought carefully, avenging the dead is not as important as saving the living, so I sneaked into the prison, killed several jailers, and rescued the two wives. The two wives are of the generation of women, and they were not closely guarded at first, and they never expected that a eunuch would go to rescue the criminals, so I succeeded in one fell swoop. But when the enemy was powerful and fled in a hurry, Mrs. Yuan's son finally I got lost on the way. I have been brooding over this matter all my life. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan has grown up and learned martial arts. It is really a great joy. As for Zhonghui, you are eighteen years old. When you arrived, you were only two years old. Your father’s surname was Yang, and he was Yang Bochong, the world-renowned great hero of Sanxiang.” Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui (should be called Yang Zhonghui) hugged their mothers respectively, and when they thought of their father’s feud, they were filled with grief and indignation. Thinking of Xiao Banhe's kindness to Bo Yuntian, he was very grateful again.

Xiao Banhe said again: "When we escaped from Beijing, the Emperor scouted and rode everywhere and searched strictly. In order to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Qing court, I, Old Xiao, grew a beard and wronged the two wives, Yuan and Yang, to do my best. Luckily, Lao Xiao is an eunuch, this expedient measure will not insult the fame of the two heroes Yuan Yang." Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui looked at each other with a smile, and thought: "Who says we are brothers and sisters? " Xiao Banhe slapped his thigh, and said: "Old Xiao is an eunuch, and he envied Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty, to go on expeditions to foreign lands and promote my Chinese virtues, so the general changed his name to 'Banhe', which means that he hopes to be half as good as Zheng He." Hero, hehe, that's Lao Xiao's wishful thinking. All these years, nothing happened, but the mandarin duck knife was born, and Lao Xiao was determined to get back the sword to comfort the spirits of the two heroes, Yuan and Yang. The Qing court found out the truth. So far, it’s nothing. It’s just that there is only one mandarin knife left. Hui’er’s short-edged mandarin knife is naturally fake, otherwise how can it be broken? It must be Transferred to the traitor Zhuo Tianxiong, it's a pity we couldn't stop him."

At this time, the aroma of the roasted deer was getting stronger and stronger, Ren Feiyan took out the knife and cut it piece by piece.Lin Yulong suddenly shouted to Yang Zhonghui: "Am I right? You said that your parents never quarreled, but I said that a couple who don't quarrel is not a real couple. There must be some kind of evil. Brother Lin, you can't predict things like a god. Does it make sense?" Ren Feiyan had a piece of roe meat on the tip of the knife, put it into his mouth, and shouted: "Eating roe roe meat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yulong was about to refute, but his mouth was full of meat and he was speechless Come.

Everyone was feeling amused, when they suddenly heard a disciple who was watching outside the forest shout: "Who is it?" followed by another disciple shouting: "Four Heroes of Taiyue Mountain!" Yang Zhonghui burst out laughing.I saw the Taiyue Four Heroes covered in mud, using a wooden stick to lift a big fishing net, and in the fishing net was a black and huge object, I don't know what it was.Yang Zhonghui smiled and said, "Four Heroes of Taiyue, what kind of treasure are you carrying?" Gai Yiming said triumphantly: "Young Master Yuan and Miss Xiao, the four of us went to the muddy river to catch the Jade-Blooded Golden Toad, and wanted to give a big gift to the two of you. Who knew that the Golden Toad hadn't been caught yet, and we were alone. When he rushed over, this man was wounded on his leg, groaning and limping as he walked. The Four Heroes of Taiyue took a look, hey, isn't this Zhuo Tianxiong? Let's cover him with a fishing net quietly, His old man brought it here."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.Yuan Guannan reached out his hand to touch Zhuo Tianxiong's waist, and pulled out a short knife. It was shiny and clean, so it was a real knife. Mrs. Yuan took the pair of mandarin duck swords in her hands and sighed: "The emperor of Manqing heard that there is a big secret that can be invincible in the world among these two swords. Are you ready? Everyone, please look!" When everyone looked closer, they saw the word "benevolent" engraved on the blade of the mandarin knife, and the word "invincible" engraved on the mandarin knife.

"The benevolent is invincible"!This is the great secret of invincibility in the world.
