On the commanding platform of Yuwenhua and Zhuoli battleships, the two sides of the canal can be seen as far as the eye can see. At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and under the light of the wicks of the five giant ships, the stars and the moon in the sky were eclipsed, which seemed to indicate the rise of the Yuwen Clan, and the southern gentry also lost their former glory. Yu Wenhuaji was in his thirties, tall and thin, with long hands and feet, an old-fashioned face, indifferent expression, a pair of deep and unpredictable eyes, giving people the impression of ruthless and ruthless, but also has a shocking domineering aura.

These five warships were built under the personal supervision of Yang Su, the founding minister of the Sui Dynasty. They were named the Five-tooth Warship. The deck has five floors and is twelve feet high. Each ship can accommodate eight hundred soldiers. The five masts were all sailed, and the fleet headed towards Jiangdu, the lower reaches of the canal, at a speed as fast as galloping horses. Yu Wenhua and his eyes fell on the roof of the palace rising from the forest beside the bank. It was one of the more than forty palaces built along the river by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty just a few years ago.

After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, he unified the north to the south and ordered people to dig canals to connect the north and south. There were practical needs both military and economic.But building large-scale construction projects, building palaces, and planting willows along the river is a waste of money and people. Zhang Shihe, his confidant who stood behind him, said respectfully: "We can arrive in Jiangdu before dawn. If the general manager can obtain the "Longevity Formula" and present it to the emperor, it will be considered a great achievement."

Yu Wenhua and an unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "The Holy One is obsessed with the immortality technique of Taoist alchemy. The sages of Taoism, who are not doomed to escape. If this book is not woven with black gold thread, water and fire will not invade, we just need to find someone to make a fake copy, and we can hide it." Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "The Holy Majesty has been investigating secretly for more than ten years, and only then did he know that this book fell into the hands of Shilong, who is known as the number one expert in Yangzhou, the 'Mountain Pusher'. Death is really ironic."

Yu Wenhuaji let out a cold snort, and whispered the name of "Shilong", and the blood in his body immediately boiled. Over the years, due to his high position and weight, he has rarely fought against others. Now the opportunity has finally come. "Mantian King" Wang Xubamo's general Jiao Xie led more than a dozen of his subordinates with strong martial arts skills, and drove his horses to gallop along the Yangtze River, shattering the silence on the river bank. Wang Xuba was the leader of one of the rebel militias who wanted to fight for the world with the Sui Emperor, and he was quite powerful.

Since Yang Guang was the emperor, because of his great achievements, he has made many expeditions to foreign countries, and he is extravagant and extravagant. Rising from the rebels and proclaiming himself king, the Sui Dynasty no longer had the grand occasion of the founding of the country. In the darkness before dawn, Yangzhou City, which was designated as the Jiangdu County by the Sui Dynasty, stands at the upper reaches of the river. The riverside wharf outside the city is full of ships of all sizes and lit with lights. There is an indescribable sense of desolation amidst the prosperity. smell!

But Jiao Xie's mind was tied tightly to the ancient jade engraved with the word "Long Live" in his bosom. It was the famous portable jade of Shi Wansui, the founding general of the Sui Dynasty.In the past, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, listened to the slander, abolished the prince Yang Yong and established Yang Guang. Shi Wansui died unjustly because of being implicated, and it was the minister Yang Su who copied his family. Yang Su was the most influential power minister at that time. He was invincible by virtue of his conquests from south to north, and his achievements were so high that he was deeply jealous of Emperor Wen.

Yang Su himself was not easy to deal with. He conspired against him and hoarded weapons, food, grass and wealth. However, Yang Su died of illness soon after. Emperor Wen killed all his followers overnight, but Yang Su's treasure house was never found. Since then, there have been rumors that whoever can find the "Treasure of Duke Yang" can rule the world. Now that Baoyu is born, it has become an important clue to track down the treasure house. Seven days ago, someone pawned this jade in a shop in Danyang, Wang Xuba heard the news, immediately sent out his staff, and traced the jade for hundreds of miles, and finally affixed the target person.

The only puzzling thing is that if the pawner gets the treasure house, he can pawn other items as much as he likes. Why this famous jade that can easily reveal the secret of the treasure house? At this moment, Jiao Xie became alert and looked towards the canal connecting to the great river, just in time to see the black masts and lights of the five five-fanged ships that seemed to be sailing on land. Jiao Xie felt stunned in his heart, he hurriedly raised his hand to issue an order, and led his men to leave the river bank, and entered the dense forest beside the bank. In an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds in the east of Yangzhou City, most of the buildings have collapsed due to years of disrepair, wind and rain erosion, and ants and moths. The top is sealed with wooden boards, which can barely be used as a shelter.

In the darkness of the room, there was a moan, followed by the sound of body turning and rubbing. A voice still with a child's voice rang out, calling out: "Xiaoling! Xiaoling! Is it still hurting?" After another groan, another boy's voice responded: "Fucking boss, punching is deadly, alas! Next time, if you have genuine goods, don't go to the dead grass to exchange money again. He is mean and undercuts the price, and he has to tell that bastard, Boss Yan, that if he tries to hide half of his body, he will have to suffer from beatings and kicks." They were talking about two punks living in this dilapidated house. Their parents and family members were killed by thieves during the war, and they became orphans without father or mother.

The two boys happened to meet each other, and they were congenial, and they depended on each other for life, more than brothers. Kou Zhong, the older one, is seventeen years old, and Xu Ziling, the youngest, has just turned sixteen. In the dark, Kou Zhong got up on the floor mat, came to Xu Ziling, and said comfortingly: "As long as he doesn't beat his limbs and cripples, even if he says that the boss is a traitor, he will drink us too, hey! Drink us Yangzhou Shuanglong’s footwashing water, as long as we grab two more coins, it will be enough for Panchuan to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and join the rebel army.” Xu Ziling lay slumped on the ground, stroking his jaw that was still in pain like fire, and asked, "How much worse is it? I really don't want to see that old traitor Yan again." Kou Zhong was a little embarrassed and said: "Hey! There is still a difference of twenty-five baht in two and a half." Xu Ziling sat up in astonishment, and said in a voiceless voice, "Didn't you say that it's two and a half? Why did it suddenly become two and a half?" Kou Zhong sighed and said: "Actually, how much money is owed is not important. The most terrible thing is that Peng Xiao didn't live up to it. He was cleared up by the officers and soldiers after only two or three blows." Then he became excited again, grabbed Xu Ziling's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, when I went to Chunfenglou to steal food last night, I heard people say that Li Zitong is the most powerful now, and his subordinates are like a cloud, including Bai Xin and Qin Chaowen." They are all top masters in the martial arts world, and they have recently subdued another rebel army led by Zuo Xiaoyou, and their momentum has grown even stronger." Xu Ziling said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Peng Xiaocai was the most powerful, and then it was the turn of Yang Gongqing who had raided Yang Guang's army? Why did Li Zitong come out suddenly? What else did you say about Li Hongzhi, Hu Liumiao, Wang Deren, etc., what kind of roles are they?" Kou Zhong obviously couldn't answer his question. After hesitating for a while, he apologized and said with a smile: "One world, two brothers, who do you believe I believe? How could I point you to a dark road? From my point of view, you can definitely choose The most promising rebel army will conquer the world in the future, with the virtue and talent of my two brothers, I, Kou Zhong, can be a prime minister, and you will be a great general." Xu Ziling said with a wry smile: "Just being a big talker beat us so hard that we couldn't get up, how could Laide be a general?" Kou Zhong said furiously: "That's why I forced you to eavesdrop on old master Bai's lectures every day, and to peek under the big tree next to Shilong's martial arts field and learn kung fu. Virtue and talent are cultivated, we will If you will get ahead, at least you have to go back to Yangzhou to be a state official, then it will be difficult for Yan Boss." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "I'm so hurt now, can Old Master Bai's boring morning class be skipped tomorrow?" After Kou Zhong muttered twice, he backed down and said, "I'll let you go tomorrow, but you have to make arrangements for the morning meal. I want to eat the steamed buns made by Mrs. Zhen's beautiful hands." Xu Ziling groaned and lay back on the mat. Due to the unrest in the world, thieves and thieves are everywhere, and everyone is in danger. The first to prosper are more than a dozen martial arts halls and dojos in the city. In terms of scale and prestige, the Shilong Martial Arts Field founded by Yangzhou's top master "Mountain Pusher" Shilong himself is the most popular. In the past ten years, Shi Long has seldom been to the gymnasium to manage affairs, and all the business is handled by his disciples. However, because the martial arts field bears his name, there are still many people who come here admiringly come from far and near. Shilong's internal and external skills have reached the realm of a first-rate master, otherwise how could he have maintained his reputation for decades. This person is good-natured Taoist, celibate and never married. He lives alone in a small farmyard on the outskirts of the city, stays at home, and is regularly sent by his disciples to deliver necessities for daily necessities. "Secret of Longevity". It has been handed down orally throughout the ages that this book came from Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It was written in oracle bone inscriptions, and it is profound and difficult to understand. Among the sages who have read this book, although there are many wise people, no one has ever been able to comprehend it and decipher the whole book. There are a total of 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only more than 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered. The book is also densely packed with annotations from those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text. Fortunately, there are seven human figures in the book, none of which are alike in posture, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc., which seem to describe a certain method of cultivation, but those who don’t understand the meaning can still do it without practicing , if one of the symbols is forced to activate the inner qi, the qi and blood will immediately churn, and then you will go crazy, which is extremely dangerous. Shilong has been with this book day and night for three years, but he still has nothing, just like a treasure in front of him, but he has no key to open the door. One day when I sat up to meditate, a warning sign appeared in my heart, I couldn't concentrate on going to the treasure book, and while I was meditating, I heard a dry cough from outside the courtyard gate. Shi Long hurriedly put the treasure book into his arms, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, he sighed and said: "Your honored guest is here, please come in and have a cup of hot tea!" It was only when the other party came outside the door that I felt the sensation, and I knew that the comer had reached the realm of a first-level master. At this time, Jiao Xie came to a dense forest in the northern outskirts of the city, jumped off the horse with his attendants, unfolded his movements, walked through the forest, and climbed up a small hill, just overlooking a dilapidated temple below. Two subordinates came out, and one of them whispered in Jiao Xie's ear, "Dianzi stayed in the temple all night and didn't leave the temple gate in the middle of the night. It seems that he is waiting for someone." Jiao Xie groaned for a while before issuing an order. All the subordinates dispersed and sneaked around the ruined temple, forming a siege. Only then did Jiao Xie fly down, and when he reached the door, he said in a loud voice, "Jiao Xie, the 'Death Saber' under the banner of 'Man Tian Wang', is ordered by the King of Heaven to ask the girl for the same thing." "boom!" The already dilapidated temple gate shattered into pieces and splashed away. At the same time, a woman appeared at the gate. Jiao Xie didn't expect the other party's reaction to be quick and fierce, so he felt stunned, and put his hand on the handle of the deadly knife that had helped him kill the enemy many times. The woman was dressed in a snow-white samurai uniform, standing gracefully by her sword. The sun-shading bamboo hat was on her head, and the heavy veil was hanging down, covering her pretty face above her fragrant lips, but only the part of her chin that was exposed made it possible to conclude that she was a rare beauty. This woman is quite tall, with a proud posture that stands out from the rest of the crowd. She is slender and fit, and her posture is indescribably beautiful. What is particularly impressive is a small mole like paint on the corner of her mouth, which makes her even more mysterious. beauty. Jiao Xie was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, a voice that was more pleasant than Xian Lai came out from the woman's cherry lips: "You are finally here." Jiao Xie was taken aback, temporarily forgetting about Duke Yang's treasure, and asked in surprise, "Is the girl waiting for us?" An incomparably touching smile floated from the corner of the woman's mouth, and she said softly, "I'm waiting for someone to test the sword for me!" "Clang!" The woman pulled her blade out of its sheath, and the cold sword energy swept over Jiao Xie. Jiao Xie has spent most of his life rolling in the rivers and lakes, with extreme experience, only from the way the opponent draws his sword, he knows that he has met the most terrifying swordsman he has ever met in his life. The teaching subordinates appeared to besiege. They have no enmity or grudge against each other, but this is the first time he has met a ruthless character who kills at the first sight. The woman's clothes fluttered all over her body, and her sword light soared. Bitter murderous aura immediately filled the audience. Jiao Xie knew that he must not let the other party get the upper hand, so he yelled again, and he followed the knife, turning into the shadow of the rolling knife, and rushed towards the other party. At this time, all the subordinates rushed to help out. The woman in white made a jiaozha sound, flew up obliquely, flew over Jiao Xie's head, and struck down with lightning with her long sword. "when!" Blades clashed. A huge irresistible force pierced through the knife, Jiao Xie's chest was struck by lightning, he couldn't hold back the momentum, and staggered back. Such a face-to-face meeting was a big loss, and Jiao Xie had tasted it for the first time, so we can see how domineering the white-clothed woman's sword power is. The woman in white rolled in the air and landed between the two big men who had just rushed to the battlefield. Her sword flew, and the two fell away, unable to get up again. All the big men were licking blood with knife heads, and they were brave and fierce, and they reacted fiercely, and rushed forward without thinking about themselves. The woman in white snorted coldly, and transformed into hundreds of sword shadows, calmly advancing and retreating amidst the fierce attacks of the big men like a ghost, everywhere the blade was, someone always fell and died. No matter where the sword is wounded, the sword will kill him, the internal organs will be shattered by the sword energy and die. When Jiao Xie regained his breath, only four of his subordinates were still struggling to support him, and he couldn't help rushing towards him with blood rushing up. The last man fell to the ground. The sword radiance flourished again, and it was entangled with Jiao Xie's death-death knife. Jiao Xie stretched out all his strength, and when he blocked the sixth strike, the life-threatening knife made of fine steel was cut off by the opponent forcefully. Horrified, Jiao Xie threw the broken handle of the knife as a hidden weapon at the opponent, and at the same time retreated sharply. Amidst the tender laughter, the woman turned around, not only avoiding the broken hilt of the knife, but also threw the long sword out of her hand. Jiao Xie clearly watched the long sword flying towards him, and thought of various ways to dodge it, but when the long sword pierced through his body, he still couldn't make any life-saving response. After the girl in white pulled back the blade from Jiao Xie, she floated away as if she had done something insignificant. "If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be self-reliant. Brother Shi really has a wishful thinking. This kind of advance can be attacked, retreated or defended. No matter what, he can explain his actions with peace of mind. I admire and admire him. " Shi Long knew that the other party was mocking him by reading out the inscription he had hung in the hall. He was very cultivated and calm, he still sat in the chair and said indifferently: "It turns out that he is one of the four surnames of today's Yuwen clan who is an outstanding master." , isn’t brother Yuwen busy serving the Holy Majesty? Why do you have such a leisurely way to visit me and other wild people from outside the square.” With his hands behind his back, Yu Wenhua walked into the hall as if taking a walk, first glanced around, and finally fell on the face of Shilong who was sitting firmly on the mountain, and sighed: "It's not that Brother Shi is so tiring, you have gained the power of cultivating Taoism." The Book of Prolonging Life, which is envied by all the scholars, is not presented to the Holy One, and makes him unhappy, so I, who is paid by others, can only do an errand to see if Brother Shi is a knowledgeable and interesting person?" Shi Long's heart screamed fiercely. He was also the first person to contact the Yuwen Valve. The Yuwen family is most famous for its lord Yu Wenshang, and the four masters are below them. Among them, Yu Wenhua, who became the chief guard of Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty, is the most well-known in the Jianghu. A person who has mastered the secret art of "Bingxuan Jin" handed down from his family, unexpectedly looks so young, no matter how he looks at it, he seems to be no more than thirty years old. Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics has been the powerful clan developed by generations of noble families, some of whom are called Gaomen or clan clans, which are distinct from the common people's common people. The so-called "the upper class has no disadvantaged families, and the lower class has no powerful families", the gentry and common people cannot intermarry, sit together, or even communicate with each other. No matter economically or politically, the gentry enjoy great privileges. It wasn't until Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, ruled the world and used the imperial examinations to obtain officials, that the monopoly of the elites was slightly broken. But the power of the clan is still there. The clans with four surnames, which are famous in the world, refer to the four powerful clans named Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song. They have huge influence in politics, economy and even martial arts. Among the four surnames, only the clan of the Song surname belonged to a prominent family in the south, and insisted on the authentic blood of the Han people.The other three surnames, because they are located in the north, have deep Huhua. The Yuwen surname itself is even a Hu, but it has been integrated into the culture of Middle Earth and is not regarded as an outsider. Although Shi Long's thoughts turned, but on the surface he was calm, and he said spontaneously: "Shi is used to being wild, he never knows how to flatter, and he is more of a soft-hearted person, maybe in a moment of impatience, he will If you burn jade and stone together and destroy the book, wouldn't brother Yuwen be able to report to the master at that time?" The two fought at the beginning of the fight, and they refused to be kind, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Yu Wenhuaji stared at Shilong for a while, then said in surprise: "If brother Shi can destroy the precious book, then this book must not be Guangchengzi's "Longevity Jue", it is no big deal if it is destroyed, but brother Shi like this The attitude is harmful to the students of your monastery, and it may even harm their parents and children. Don’t the Taoist and Buddhist families both emphasize the accumulation of virtue and good deeds? Brother Shi seems to be contrary to this purpose!" Hearing his threatening tone, Shi Long knew that what he said was true, and finally his face changed slightly. At this moment when his mind was slightly divided, Yu Wenhuaji immediately made a move, punching from the air. The day before yesterday had just passed the great summer heat, the weather was hot, but Yu Wenhuaji had just made a move, the air in the hall immediately became extremely cold, if it weren't for Shilong's pure internal energy, his teeth might be shaking immediately. But he was not feeling well either. If it were an ordinary expert who sent out a punch, he would definitely generate a clear gust of punching wind to attack the enemy, but Yu Wenhua and the cold energy from this punch seemed to be absent, as if the air around him was blown away. He drove it, and squeezed towards Shilong from all directions, the helpless feeling of not knowing which target to counterattack was the most terrible. Shi Long was still sitting on the chair, his clothes were bulging. "Peng!" Pneumatic interaction formed a vortex, centered on Shilong, and stirred around. The nearby furniture, tables and chairs were tossed and broken like leaves swept by the wind, and rolled in all directions. In the end, only Shilong was left sitting alone in the center of the hall. Surprised expression appeared on Yu Wenhuaji's face, and he put away his fists. Shi Long's old face was wiped with a trace of blush, and it quickly faded away. Yu Wenhuaji laughed and said: "As expected of the number one person in Yangzhou, he blocked my punch purely by protecting his body. Just look at this point, let me, Yu Wenhuaji, persuade me with a good word, if brother Shi is willing to give up To publish the treasure book, and to hide my name from now on, I can read that for the sake of my comrades in the rivers and lakes, letting Brother Shi go, this is good intentions and not malice, life and death, brother Shi can decide with one word." Shi Long felt extremely absurd in his heart. After getting this Taoist treasure "The Secret of Longevity", I thought about it all, but I still got nothing, and my mood was not as comfortable and peaceful as before the book.Now he actually offended the current emperor for this book, and even ordered the emperor to take the opportunity to kill his own disciples, and even disbanded all the local martial arts schools to eliminate the armed forces in this area. Is this "the evil of Huaibao" Woolen cloth? Of course, he would not be so stupid as to believe that Yu Wenhuaji would let him go because he was willing to hand over the "Secret of Longevity". With Yang Guang's violence, he would not let himself go. Just now, after a move with Yu Wenhuaji, he has figured out that the other party's "Bingxuan Jin" is really a strange and incomparable whirling power, which is much more unpredictable than the general straight-forward power, but you know it , he still has no solution. Shi Long is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. At this moment, he made up his mind suddenly and decided that even if he died, he would not let the treasure book fall into the hands of Yang Guang.Otherwise, with so many talents under Yang Guang, maybe he could decipher all the oracle bone inscriptions in the book, grasp the key to longevity, and become an immortal tyrant, then Shilong would be to blame for his death. Shi Long looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and after saying hello twice, he shook his head and sighed: "This book is not for those who are predestined, and it is useless and harmful to get it. If Brother Yuwen has the ability, I will take this book back and read it to that stupid king, but If reading kills him, don't blame me, Shi Long, for not warning me first." While talking, he gathered all his energy.Immediately, all the subtle sounds in a radius of ten feet came to his ears, even the sound of insects and ants walking could not be hidden from him. Immediately, I heard the soft and slender breathing of more than a dozen people, showing that those who surrounded him were all masters of both internal and external cultivation. Yu Wenhuaji looked up at the large crossbeam in the middle of the hall, and sighed, "Brother Shi is not only ignorant, but also stubborn, but it is not easy for Brother Shi to become famous, so I, Yu Wenhuaji, will let you gather your skills so that you can make a good performance." With a full blow, Brother Shi will die." Shi Long suddenly flew up from the seat, flew across the Zhang Xu space without touching the ground, and in the blink of an eye came to Yu Wenhuaji's body, pushed forward with both palms, roaring violently, and immediately rushed towards the opponent like a storm. At the same time, the chair he was sitting on fell to pieces, which showed that Shi Long had already suffered a big loss when the two of them exchanged moves just now, and could not stop Yu Wenhuaji's Bingxuan Jin, which hurt the chair. Yu Wenhua and his eyes flashed lightning, and at the same time, he was very surprised. Shi Long knew that his Pushing Mountain Qigong was no match for his Bingxuanjin, so why did he leave no room for change when he made a move, using head-to-head confrontation moves? Woolen cloth? But at this moment, there is no time to think too much, the victory or defeat is only a matter of a thin line, although he is confident that he can win against Shilong, but if he loses the opportunity, it is still very difficult to win back, and he often loses Risk of death. If he dared to hesitate, he retreated three steps first, and when he charged forward, his two fists hit Shi Long's palm respectively. "boom!" The strength collided and vented upwards, immediately rushed the roof tiles flying, and opened a big hole. With Yu Wenhua's ability, Shi Longzhang was forced to recede with the Mountain Pushing Palm, so as to relieve the astonishing pressure. Shi Long was even more miserable, he staggered back. Yu Wenhua and Didi Liu, whose feet did not touch the ground, circled in a small circle, then accelerated again, and even before Shilong hit the wall behind him, he chased after him with lightning, and shot in the air. A whirling force bypassed Shi Long's body and hit his vest. The angle was so wonderful that it was amazing. Shi Long opened his mouth and sprayed, a stream of blood arrows shot out quickly, piercing Yu Huahua and his chest, at the same time he arched his back, and forcibly received Yu Huahua and a Bingxuan Jin. Yu Wenhuaji didn't expect Shilong to have such a self-destructive trick, he quickly stopped his figure, hung his waist and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the bloody arrow. When Shi Long secretly cried out what a pity, his whole body trembled violently, the zhenqi protecting his body was shattered, and dozens of incomparably cold Ice Profound Energy invaded his body from his vest. Shi Long knew whether he could keep the "Secret of Longevity", so he decided at this moment to display the miraculous power of stimulating the potential, shouted wildly, resisted the force that pulled him forward, and accelerated towards the back wall. What kind of person is Yu Wenhuaji, when he saw this situation, he immediately knew something was wrong, when he straightened up again, he gathered ten success powers and punched away from the air. But it was a step too late. Shilong's back hit the back wall, and a trap door turned him in immediately. "broken!" The trap door was torn apart, revealing another small room, but Shilong was nowhere to be seen. Yu Wenhuaji didn't panic, threw himself on the ground, with his ears on the ground, the sound of Shilong darting in the tunnel was transmitted to his ears immediately.
