In the evening, on the bank of the Sanggan River, Li Jing's soldiers and horses camped at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain.
Qingyuan Mountain, the ground should be the back of the mountain, the thousand peaks are ringing, if the arch. The mountain is made up of five standing peaks, and people are accustomed to call these five peaks the east, south, west, north, and middle 'small five peaks' respectively. The surrounding mountain peaks are like lotus petals, the middle peak is like lotus platform, the whole mountain is like a lotus flower, so it is called Wuyue Lotus Mountain, and there are Wuyue temples built on the mountain.
As Li Jing expected, he found Zhou Dewei on the top of the mountain. In addition to the Wuyue Temple, there is also a bamboo forest temple on the mountain, which is built on the lotus platform. Formed the "lotus center, pilgrimage to ten thousand mountains", "thousands of peaks ring direction, if the arch" of the scenic scene, there is a valley of water under the east mountain of the temple from the north to the southeast valley mouth rolling to go.
Since Zhou Dewei left Yunzhou, he has chosen to live in seclusion here temporarily, and his family is also being placed next to the Zhulin Temple.
After Li Jing ascended the Zhulin Temple under the escort of Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji, he immediately had a feeling of 'being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance', very close to the sky and the heavenly palace. Living in such a place does feel a bit of a seclusion. However, Zhou Dewei is not a reclusive master, judging by his behavior, he is more willing to roll in the red dust.
On top of a boulder on the top of the mountain, Zhou Dewei was boxing, his fists were like hammers, tigers and tigers, and a set of punches was flowing down. Li Jing didn't bother him, just admired it on the side. Zhou Dewei also saw Li Jing's arrival. It didn't stop though. Instead, he still finished the whole set.
Wait until Zhou Dewei is the last to finish the last one. Li Jing immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good boxing technique!" ”
Zhou Dewei's expression is very few, even when he laughs, his face is stiff, and if people who are not familiar with him can't even notice that he is laughing.
"Is there any origin of Zhenyuan's punch?" Li Jing asked as he jumped on the boulder and sat there.
Zhou Dewei smiled at Li Jing with his unique smile: "This set of boxing techniques is taught by the master in the Zhulin Temple, called the Sun King Kong Fu Tiger Fist. ”
The mountain wind blew, and Li Jing smiled: "I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful master on this Qingyuan Mountain." For a while. I'm going to go and see you. ”
"That's a legend." Zhou Dewei said, there was a bright color in his eyes, "It is rumored that the Void Master was once the prince of the Uighur Khanate, and more than thirty years ago, the Uighur Kingdom was destroyed by the Uighurs, and part of it moved west, and part of it went south to the Tang Dynasty. The Void Master remained in the grassland, taking his three hundred guards with him bent on revenge. Later, the Void Master finally assassinated the Khan of the Void in the Western Regions, but all 300 of his guards were killed. I was also seriously injured by more than a dozen knives and guns. He fell into the river and was rescued by a merchant from Shazhou. Bring him back to Shazhou. After recovering from his injuries, the Void Master served as a merchant guard, and also joined the army, and was once a general under Zhang Yichao in Shazhou, and together with Zhang Yichao, he recaptured Shazhou and other eleven states from the hands of the Tubo people and returned to the Tang Dynasty. Later, he entered Chang'an with Zhang Yichao, and because of the guidance of a senior monk, he converted to Buddhism. Since then, he has traveled all over the world, placed orders in Shaolin, Wutai and other temples, and finally arrived on this Qingyuan Mountain and built this bamboo forest temple. ”
This is really a legend, Li Jing said secretly. The prince of the Uighur kingdom, the general of Zhang Yichao of Shazhou, and then the current master monk, this is really a legendary figure who can no longer be a legend.
"Such a person, it is even more important to pay a visit."
"Unfortunately, the master traveled a month ago."
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Gao Siji on the side also let out a long sigh, and Li Jing and Zhou Dewei both looked at him with some surprise.
Gao Siji said: "Siji has been practicing boxing since childhood, and now he has a little understanding, and he is planning to create his own set of boxing methods, but unfortunately there are many places that have not been able to be mastered. Just now, I saw Brother Zhenyuan's exquisite boxing skills, and I heard that it was passed on by the master of the void, and I was about to visit and ask the master for guidance, but I didn't expect to have a chance to meet. ”
"The boxing technique you want to create is the Four Seasons Fist?" Li Jing asked suddenly. The Gao family Four Seasons Boxing, this is very famous. It is said that this punch method is from the fifth generation of white horse silver gun Gao Siji.
Gao Siji was surprised, this punch method was only in his mind, and it had not yet taken shape, but he didn't think that Li Jing had already known the way.
Gao Siji has devoted himself to the study of boxing, and recently he plans to create a boxing method that combines boxing and machinery according to the changes in the wind of the four seasons. The initial idea is to divide it into "Japanese-style style", "Sunga-style style", "Shuofeng type" and "hurricane type". "Harmony style" is the main slow, "the wind style" is mainly sticky, suitable for spring and summer exercises, "Shuofeng style" main strength, "hurricane style" main rigid, suitable for autumn and winter exercises, this is a set of soft with rigidity, rigidity and softness of boxing. However, he hasn't thought of a name for the boxing method yet, and now that he hears it, the name Four Seasons Fist is very appropriate.
"How did the county prince know about this?"
"Occasionally, I see you practicing boxing, and when I see the moves, I feel like the wind of the four seasons changing." Li Jing smiled and gave an explanation. "Although the master is not here, Siji can have a discussion with Zhenyuan."
On the top of the mountain, Zhou Dewei still had that serious expression, and nodded at Gao Siji, but his eyes lit up all of a sudden.
The two approached, clasped their fists and saluted, and then formally began to fight. Zhou Dewei's boxing method is called King Kong Fuhu, which is naturally fierce and domineering, and although Gao Siji's boxing method is completed, the four seasons boxing can be soft and rigid, rigid and soft, and the two are on par with each other.
"Happy!" After hundreds of rounds, the two laughed loudly and stopped at the same time.
If you don't fight, you don't know each other, Zhou Dewei's expression is cold, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach. But after this punch, Gao Siji and Zhou Dewei immediately seemed to have become friends for many years. After another conversation, Zhou Dewei invited a few people into his hut on the mountain.
Although it is just an ordinary thatched hut, it is very clean and tidy, and even has a bit of a delicate feeling. Zhou Dewei's father died early, and only one mother was in the hall, and his wife Zheng was also a very gentle woman. The woman in the border area, no better than the Central Plains, did not evade, and enthusiastically fried the tea. It was his pair of children, all about ten years old, the boy had a tiger head, the daughter was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and the two children were hiding behind the door curtain, looking at Li Jing and the others with bright eyes.
Li Jing smiled and beckoned to them, the two refused to step forward, Zhou Dewei shouted, and the boy took the girl out by the hand.
"Call uncle!" Li Jing also likes this pair of golden boys and girls very much.
"Uncle!" The two children screamed very seriously. Li Jing smiled, touched his body, took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and gave it to the little girl, and gave a piece of slope-shaped jade in his hand for archery to the boy. Zhou Dewei was about to refuse, Li Jing said with a smile: "I liked them when I saw them, just a little meeting gift." ”
Seeing this, Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Gao Siji also took some of their belongings and gave them to the two villains. The sisters and brothers were very happy to get so many gifts, and Zhou Dewei's wife was afraid of disturbing Li Jing and their discussion, so she took the two and left.
Waiting for them to leave, Li Jing asked Zhou Dewei: "Zhenyuan has been in Ulzhou all along, can you be clear about the current battle between the imperial court to suppress the rebels and Li Keyong's father and son?" ”
Zhou Dewei saw that when he talked about business, his expression became a little more serious, and his black face was clenched, like a piece of charcoal.
After the Yunzhou mutiny, Li Keyong soon took control of the three prefectures of Yun, Wei, and Shuo under the jurisdiction of Datong. And Li Guochang also followed closely in the rebellion of the Zhenwu Army, the East Surrender City, the Middle Surrender City under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Army, and the Zhenwu Army Town, Shan Yu Duhufu, all controlled by Li Guochang, and now, he has captured Shengzhou in the south. The two thieves are in full swing! ”
In August, Li Keyong and Li Guochang joined forces to capture the Shayu army, entered Lanzhou, northwest of Taiyuan, and then divided his troops to attack the Ningwu army in Lulong Town. After the failure of the attack on the Ningwu army, the two thieves attacked the Lanzhou army again. In September, the Shatuo army crossed Yunzhong Mountain from Lanzhou, burned the two counties of Tanglin and Laoxian in Daizhou, and entered Xinzhou north of Taiyuan, Xinzhou. ”
Li Jing beckoned Liu Xun to retrieve the map and unfolded it on the table. Li Jing watched on the map as Zhou Dewei said.
The more he looked at his brows, the more he wrinkled, Li Keyong's father and son were indeed in the thick of the army now, and the thieves were arrogant.
In Hedong, Li Keyong has now occupied not only the original three prefectures of Ulzhou, Yunzhou, and Shuozhou under the jurisdiction of Datong, but also Lanzhou, Daizhou, and Xinzhou. The soldiers pointed directly at the northern capital Taiyuan, and several important passes in the northeast of the river, such as Yanmen Pass, Loufu Pass, and Dongcheng Pass, all fell into the hands of Li Keyong.
And that's not all, the Zhenwu Army occupied by Li Guochang and Li Keyong are separated by a Yellow River, and they also occupy the cities of Zhongshou City, East Chengcheng, Shengzhou, Shan Yu Duhufu, and Zhenwu Military Town. The territory of the father and son is united, and they already have seven or eight states, Hedong Guanzhong, Donghetao, Zhonghetao and other places have their potential.
"Where are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court now?" Li Jing asked.
Zhou Dewei shook his head: "As early as after Lu Jianfang's violent death, the imperial court has already transferred soldiers and horses from the four towns of Yicheng, Zhongwu, Zhaoyi, and Heyang Army from Hedong and Henan to enter Hedong to suppress the rebellion, plus the soldiers and horses of the county duke's east road is the fifth road. The imperial court took the Yicheng Army Festival as the envoy to recruit the camp capital, and the county prince as the east camp capital. However, although these soldiers and horses responded to the edict after receiving the edict, they could transfer troops and march along the way, dragging their feet. Before they arrived in Taiyuan, there was a mutiny in Taiyuan. Although he later barely stabilized the situation, because Dou Huan's performance was too weak and incompetent, the imperial court dismissed him from his post and replaced him with Cao Xiang. ”
However, immediately after Li Keyong captured the three states of Hedong in a row, Cao Xiang was powerless to stop it. Therefore, now there has been a new transfer in the imperial court. ”
"What transfer?" Liu Xun asked.
Zhou Dewei looked at Li Jing, "This transfer actually has a lot to do with the county prince. (To be continued......)
