During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a rich man named Song Minghe in Yanqi Town, Huairou, outside the capital. He was tall, muscular, good at fighting, and highly skilled in martial arts. He liked to make friends and made friends with heroes all over the world. Therefore, his family was full of guests, and he was like a city, so he was known as

"Xiao Mengchangjun" also.

One day, a Taoist priest came to visit. Song He heard about it and went out to greet the guests. He saw this Taoist priest standing in his old age. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, a gray Taoist crown on his head, wearing Taoist shoes, with a long beard reaching to his chest, a thin face, and a shoulder strap on his back.

The big iron sword was more than half a foot wide and nearly five feet long. The iron sword weighed a hundred kilograms. Song He bowed his hands and said, "May I ask where did the master come from? What is the honorific title of the Dharma?" The Taoist clasped his hands together and said:

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. I am a poor Taoist whose home is spread all over the world. His dharma name is Zhengyangzi."

After a few words of greeting, Zhengyangzi entered the door, and the host and guest took their seats. Song He said: "The master is carrying a heavy sword, and he must have superhuman skills. Please show it to feast your eyes." Zhengyangzi said: "The poor man is wandering around, carrying a heavy sword.

Just to protect myself and my ears, I have no skills to show off, I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed.”

Song He did not force him to give in. From then on, Zhengyangzi temporarily lived in the Song Mansion. He enjoyed three meals a day and sat by the side of the training ground with nothing to do, stroking his beard and watching the spectators fight and practice martial arts. He was very idle.

In the Song Dynasty, guests often come and go, heroes gather, and banquets are often held. At every banquet, many Zhengyangzi are seated for the banquet. They sit at the end and see that their swords are not away from their bodies. When drinking, they stand with their swords on their bodies.

On the side, he carries it with him when he relieves himself. He lifts the sword as easily as he holds a stick. He is always taciturn and drinks alone in the last seat. When asked by guests, he always smiles and talks a few words, then avoids talking. His accent is like that of the South.

Hubei dialect is something that people seem to understand but not understand.

Boxer Wu from Henan and Boxer Mo from Shandong came to the Song Dynasty because of their reputation and stayed in the same room with Zhengyangzi in the evening. In the middle of the night, Zhengyangzi suddenly stood up, dressed neatly, and put his iron sword behind him. The two boxers asked in surprise: "Master, what is this?"

?" He said to the second boxer, "I'm going to leave." After saying this, he disappeared instantly.

However, the second boxer saw that the window and door were closed and it was unclear how the Taoist priest got out. He was very surprised and suspected that this person was a Dingshen man. At dawn, he asked Song He about the identity of the Taoist priest. Song He also shook his head and said: "When the second Taoist priest came, he was

Wearing Taoist robes and walking on feet

Shoes, a Taoist crown on his head, and no other luggage except for the big iron sword on his back. I thought he was a wanderer, and I didn’t dare to ask more questions!"

Strange! Sometimes I see a Taoist priest going out at night, and the two boxers wake up in the middle of the night. I hear the Taoist priest snoring loudly in bed again. He is sleeping soundly, but he does not hear the sound of the door opening. How does he get in? When Song He heard this, he suspected that the Taoist priest had magical powers.

Not exposed.

There was a Yongxing Escort Bureau in Beijing. One day, the escort leader Li Shoucheng asked to see Song He. He said that he was traveling as a escort to Chengde, and encountered robbers on the way.

I know that bandits are rampant in Jinjiling outside Chengde City. There is a bandit leader named Zhai Minglie, who is very skilled in martial arts and has the courage of ten thousand people. He blocks roads and robs without restraint. The government sends troops to encircle and suppress many times without any results.

When this plan was yet to be developed, Zhengyangzi said goodbye to Song He and said: "I heard that the master of Songzhuang was in trouble. I have been bothering the family for several days. I have no worries about food and drink and have not made any achievements. I am very ashamed. Ming

I want to go back to the mountain, so I am here to help my master solve the problem and avoid worries!" Song He asked: "The bandits in Jinjiling are extremely arrogant. I don't dare to get into trouble, but I can't refuse Yongxing's request. What is the master's plan to get rid of them?

Yangzi smiled and said: "Actually, I have recently punished the bandits nearby and distributed their stolen property to the poor. I have offended the robbers. I hate the bandits and gnash my teeth. I am afraid that if I don't eradicate them, there will be endless troubles! The bandits burn, kill, and loot, and they commit all kinds of evil.

, at midnight tonight, Pindao arrived at Jinji Ridge, and has agreed to fight the robbers, recover the darts and silver, and kill them to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people. Master, please wait for the good news." Song He said worriedly: "There are many gangsters and they are very skilled in martial arts. Master

How can one person get rid of them all? How about I bring all my friends with me to give the master a helping hand?" Zhengyangzi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, although this robber has extraordinary abilities and is numerous and powerful, he is still poor.

If Dao is not afraid of him, he will definitely be able to eliminate the bandits. I hope my master will not worry."

Song He relied on his martial arts skills and was not inferior to ordinary people. Although he heard that Taoist priests had magical powers, he wanted to see them and insisted on going with him. Zheng Yangzi had no choice but to agree.

Song He and the escort leader Li Shoucheng followed Zhengyangzi. When they arrived at the foot of Jinji Ridge, the Iron Sword Taoist suddenly captured Song.

He and Li Shoucheng, like carrying a baggage, rushed across the mountain, climbed to the top of the mountain, and arrived at a hidden rock. They said to them: "I feel sorry for you two to watch the battle here. You must not say anything to let the bandits find out. I am a poor man."

Go ahead."

Zhengyangzi jumped onto a platform and waited for a long time. The full moon was in the sky, and the moonlight was like silver, pouring over the mountain. People's faces could be distinguished within a hundred steps.

I saw Zhengyangzi taking off the big iron sword from his back, standing on the spot, taking out a whistle and blowing it, the sound was like a horn. After a while, dozens of bandits came galloping on horseback from the opposite mountain, and then bows and arrows flashed out from all sides.

There are more than a hundred gangsters!

The bandits surrounded the Taoist priest with the Iron Sword, and then the bandit leader Zhai Lie shouted loudly, raised his sword and rushed towards the Taoist priest! Zhengyangzi laughed, holding the big iron sword in his hand, facing the bandit leader with the back of the sword, Zhai Lie used his sword

Cut it! There was only a "clang" sound, but without losing any strength, the bandit leader was ejected several feet high. The Taoist priest flashed his sword upward, and Zhai Lie was immediately chopped into two pieces and died!

When all the bandits saw this, they were horrified. With the strength of their numbers, they swarmed forward. Zhengyangzi brandished his big iron sword, blocking the thrusts left and right, flying up and down, dancing like flying. No one could get close! In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh were everywhere.

Flying, blood splattered, dozens of gangsters died under the sword!

The bandits lying everywhere opened their bows and fired arrows like locusts. Zhengyangzi swung his sword to block the arrows, but saw only the light of the sword but could not see him. He struck the eagle feathers and arrows fell to the ground one after another. With a loud roar, he flew close to the bandits and swung his sword like a flying locust.

After cutting the leek, the heads fell to the ground in pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining bandits abandoned their bows and fled, pursuing them with swords like meteors. In an instant, no one was spared, and they were all dead!

Song He and Li Shoucheng watched from behind the rocks and were extremely excited. Li Shoucheng had been a escort for many years and often fought with robbers, but he had never seen such a scene. In less than a moment, more than a hundred gangsters were dead in the mountains. Song He interacted with the swordsman sword

There were many guests, but tonight was an eye-opener, and they felt ashamed that they were not as good as themselves. The two of them secretly praised the Taoist's martial arts, which were extraordinary!

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and I heard Zhengyangzi laughing loudly and calling out: "Master of Songzhuang, escort Li, I'm going to leave!" After saying this, I saw him throwing his iron sword into the air and jumping up.
Chapter completed!
