The dream of a lonely hero

Let's say that Yan Yun, bearing shame and humiliation, staggered out of Changshou Temple and went down Suolong Mountain. He looked at Xijing from afar and thought: the evil monk Hui Guang was not captured, but his fifth uncle, seventh aunt, Wu Zhenren and others were killed. How could he face the Southern Court? After thinking about it, he decided to temporarily return to Shihu Village to report the result of the battle in Changshou Temple to the leader of the seventh branch of the Golden Spear Society. After walking a mile or two, he fainted on the ground. I don't know when I woke up. I felt numbness in my hands and feet. I opened my eyes and light shone in from the window. I was tied up in a house with a pile of hay under me. The wounds on my body were all bandaged. I heard footsteps outside the door. With a "click", the door lock opened and three people walked in. He knew Meng Yanchang, a member of the Golden Spear Society, Jiang Peng, the leader of the independent standard, and Sun Ding, the deputy leader, the "two-headed wolf".

Meng Yanchang looked at Yan Yun, whose face was pale and eyes were sunken, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Sun Ding, hurry up and serve the rice porridge."

Sun Ding left the room reluctantly. Meng Yanchang leaned over and helped Yan Yun up.

Jiang Peng said, "Meng Congshi, although Yan Yun is your senior brother who saved your life, he is an enemy of our Golden Spear Society. Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about two days ago. There were hundreds of people who followed Wu Kuishai to lock up the Longshan Changshou Temple to capture the evil monk Hui Guang. How come Yan Yun was the only one who came back alive? Is his martial arts better than Wu Kuishai? Seventh Division Military Advisor Lu Cheng suspected that he surrendered to Hui Guang and came to Shihuzhai to act as an insider to catch us all in one fell swoop and eradicate us. It makes sense."

Meng Yanchang said, "Lu Cheng has bad intentions and is afraid of chaos. Don't listen to his nonsense. In the past two days, my Independent Banner Golden Spear disciples have taken turns to investigate and found no evidence of Changshou. The monks in the temple made some unusual movements. It was really as Lu Cheng said. Hui Guang followed Yan Yun's whereabouts and found the Seventh Dao Headquarters in Shihu Village. With our current family resources, how could we defeat him? "

Jiang Peng said: "The official is right. However, Lu Cheng incited hundreds of disciples of the Seventh Dao to threaten to skin Yan Yun and pull out his tendons. He was justified in avenging Wu Kui Shuai, Dao Master Zhai, Deputy Dao Master Liu and the five hundred and seven disciples. He was stopped by the official the first two times. If Lu Cheng comes again, I am afraid he will not be able to stop him. Is the official going to let the Independent Banner and the Seventh Dao fight for Yan Yun? "

Meng Yanchang said impatiently: "Enough!" Jiang Peng stopped talking.

Sun Ding brought rice porridge, and Meng Yanchang helped Yan Yun to eat the rice porridge. Yan Yun was injured in many places after the previous fight. He was unconscious for two days without eating or drinking. If it weren't for his deep inner strength, he would have died long ago. But he was still exhausted. After drinking rice porridge, he felt a little more energetic. Meng Yanchang said: "Brother! How are Master and Miao Wuxia? Why did you run out of Changshou Temple alone?"

Yan Yun felt even more depressed when he thought about being humiliated by Yan Feng in Changshou Temple. He didn't know how to reply to his junior brother Meng Yanchang that he hadn't seen Master, Miao Wuxia and the others since they parted ways on the mountain. How did he leave Changshou Temple? If he said that Yan Feng spared his life, wouldn't he be labeled as a coward who feared swords and was greedy for life and death? How would Meng Yanchang and other Golden Spear Society disciples look at him? How would he survive in the future! With a painful expression on his face, he was silent.

Sun Ding said anxiously: "Yan Yun, tell me! How did you run back? WuIs the leader dead or alive? "

Meng Yanchang was also anxious and said, "Brother Yan, what happened in Suolong Mountain? Speak slowly."

Yan Yun was silent.

Sun Ding said anxiously, "Meng Congshi. Seeing Yan Yun not saying a word, he must have done something wrong. Wu Kuizhu and five hundred disciples went up Suolong Mountain and none of them came down the mountain. It must be dangerous. Only Yan Yun went down the mountain without worrying about his life. Isn't it suspicious? Just now I went out to listen to my independent guard disciples report that the disciples of the Seven Dao sent by Lu Cheng are likely to find Yan Yun hiding here. It won't take long for Lu Cheng to bring people to claim Yan Yun's life. Congshi, you have done your best, not to mention that you saved his life in the Black Pine Forest in the past, and you also repaid the life-saving grace of Yanmen Dao of Tianlang Mountain. Now hand him over to the Seven Dao Lu Cheng? It's Lu Cheng's business to kill or chop him up, not yours. Anyway, if he doesn't die in your hands, you won't be bothered by him. You have done your best as a fellow disciple."

Jiang Peng interjected, "Isn't it? Yan Yun's hands are stained with the blood of our Golden Spear Society disciples. Treating him like this is really the most righteous thing!"

Meng Yanchang thought for a moment, carried Yan Yun on his back, and said, "Jiang Peng, Sun Ding, move to another place." Jiang Peng and Sun Ding hurriedly cleared the way in front.

Meng Yanchang transferred Yan Yun to a small courtyard that was temporarily safe and hidden to recuperate. He secretly invited a doctor to treat him, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He didn't dare to loosen his ropes. Five days later, Yan Yun's injuries gradually improved and he was almost healed. Yan Yun, who was tied to the bed, was extremely depressed. He thought: Master, Fifth Uncle, Seventh Aunt are all extraordinary martial arts. Why can't any of them leave safely after entering Changshou Temple? Listen to what Jiang Peng and Sun Ding said. He said that Lu Cheng was determined to put him to death. This Shihu Village was Sun Ding's territory. It was only a matter of time before he found him. He was thinking. Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the house. The two disciples of the Independent Guards guarding the gate could not stop them. Lu Cheng, the military advisor of the Seventh Branch of the Golden Spear Society, rushed in with a group of wolf-like and tiger-like followers. Lu Cheng ordered his followers, "Quickly take the Yanyun thief to the main altar to open the incense hall, and use his head to sacrifice to the souls of Wu Kui, Daozhu Zhai, and Deputy Daozhu Liu. ”

The seventh main altar is the gathering hall. In the main hall, there are tablets for Wu Tianzhen, the leader of the Golden Spear Society, Zhai Sheng, the leader of the seventh branch, and Liu Wang, the deputy leader. Lu Cheng, the military advisor of the seventh branch, is sitting on a tiger-skin chair. Yan Yun is tied tightly to a pillar. Not far away is a boiling oil pan, with waves of heat. On both sides stand minions holding weapons. The minions whisper, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Yun's head will fall to the ground. After paying tribute to the souls of Wu Kui, Zhai, and Liu, we can taste fried Yan Yun's meat. It's been a while since I tasted human flesh."

"You're wrong! The Army Division first asked us to cut Yan Yun's meat into pieces to fry, and then he cut out Yan Yun's meat and fried it himself, and then cut off Yan Yun's head to pay tribute to the dead soul. ”

“After paying tribute to the dead, who will eat Yan Yun’s head?”

“Don’t even think about it! Apart from the Army Division, who else can enjoy it in Qifen Road now!”

A lackey came in and reported, “Report to the Army Division, it’s already 3:30 in the afternoon.”

Lu Cheng was furious and ordered his minions to throw the minions who reported the incident into the oil pan. The smoke was everywhere and the screams continued. Lu Cheng said: "There is no army division now, only Lu Daozhu and Lu Da Wang! Those who don't know will be thrown into the oil pan!"

The minions were frightened and knelt down, saying: "Lu Da Wang! Lu Da Wang! I know."

Lu Cheng laughed "Haha" and said "Don't wait, let's eat meat."

The minions drew out their sharp blades and ran towards Yan Yun, wanting to skin Yan Yun alive.

Yan Yun thought: I was ridiculed and mocked by Yan Feng in the Changshou Temple of Suolong Mountain, and I endured the shame and struggled to survive. I didn't expect that I would end up like this when I returned to Shihuzhai. Could it be that I died in such an unclear way? He was so anxious that he sweated like a pulp and screamed heartbreakingly, "Man! Chief Lu, what crime has Yan Yun committed?"

Lu Cheng ordered his minions to stop for the time being, walked closer to Yan Yun, and said with strange eyes: "Haha! Good question! I'm going to kill you, do I need to ask you about your crime?"

Yan Yun was caught off guard. He thought he would accuse him of being a spy of Changshou Temple, but he didn't expect him to speak like this. He hesitated, "No - how can you kill people at will without asking about the crime?"

The seventh branch of the Jinyi School of the Jinqiang Society in Shihu Village is far away from Tianlang Mountain, the headquarters of the Jinqiang Society. Usually, they kill people and rob goods in the name of killing the rich and helping the poor. Tianlang Mountain was wiped out by the court, and the seventh branch was even more rampant, bullying the weak and oppressing the good. Since Wu Tianzhen led the independent guards to Shihu Village, the seventh branch of the seventh branch, the Taoist master Zhai Sheng, Taoist master Liu Wang, and military advisor Lu Cheng had to restrain themselves. Wu Tianzhen led his troops to attack the Changshou Temple on Suolong Mountain, and the whole army was annihilated. Military strategist Lu Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that it was finally his turn to be the master.

Lu Cheng laughed wildly, "Haha! I can kill people at will, isn't it? I'll dig out your heart and fry it, you won't be unhappy!" He slowly drew out his saber and stabbed it towards Yan Yun's heart.

Yan Yun's heart almost jumped out, and he instinctively shouted "Spare my life! Spare my life!"

Lu Cheng stopped and laughed, "Hehe,"

"I didn't expect that the disciple of the dignified Nanjian 'Yunli Tianzun' Wu Zhenren would be such a coward. Yan Yun, if you keep tough, I might really spare your life. Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" He stabbed the saber in his hand towards Yan Yun's heart.

Suddenly Meng Yanchang ran in and shouted "Hey! Stop it." Behind him followed the leader of the Independent Guard Jiang Peng, the deputy leader Sun Ding and a dozen of the Independent Guard's minions.

Lu Cheng said angrily: "Meng Yanchang, are you going to plead for the Yanyun bandit!"

Meng Yanchang said angrily: "Lu Cheng, as the leader of the Golden Spear Society, how can you take human lives lightly! Aren't you afraid of humiliating the reputation of the Golden Spear Society for chivalry and justice!"

Lu Cheng said: "Hehe! I take human lives lightly! Is Yanyun also a human? Think about the battle at Tianlang Mountain that year, how many disciples of my Golden Spear Society were killed, not to mention that a few days ago, the Golden Spear Society's Wu Kuizhu, Zhai Daozhu, Liu Deputy Daozhu and 570 disciples were betrayed at Suolong Mountain, resulting in no one surviving. New and old grudges, the Yanyun bandit should be cut into pieces! Don't you think so?" The seven Daoists echoed in unison, "Yes! King Lu is right!"

Meng Yanchang's mouth twitchedAfter a moment, he snorted coldly, "What a 'King Lu'! The Golden Spear Society has never had the title of 'King'. Lu Cheng, are you going to betray my Golden Spear Society and become an independent bandit?"

Lu Cheng said: "Meng Yanchang, although you are the leader of the leader, you are only a leader of the seventh rank. I, the seventh military advisor, am a leader of the sixth rank. Do you think it is your turn to teach me a lesson? The biggest leader of the Golden Spear Society in Shihu Village is me now. It is not an exaggeration for you to call me 'King'. Why do you falsely accuse me of becoming a bandit?"

Meng Yanchang said: "What is fried in this oil pan?"

Lu Cheng said: "It is the spy from Changshou Temple that we caught."

|= |

Meng Yanchang said: "Spies or bad guys, how can such cruel means as frying be done by our Golden Spear Club? How is this different from killing thieves without blinking an eye? Just by doing this, you can be removed from the position of the sixth-level leader according to the Golden Spear Club's rules."

Lu Cheng said: "You are not qualified to mention the rules! You harbored Yan Yun, the enemy of the Golden Spear Club, what crime should you be punished for! You dare to plead for him today, are you still a disciple of the Golden Spear Club? You have been following the leader for so many years in vain! Let's stop talking nonsense, I will kill Yan Yun today, you want to be a traitor and spare his life, haha! Let's meet on the battlefield!"

Relying on the power of numbers, Lu Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Meng Yanchang and the Independent Guard. After hearing Lu Cheng's harsh words, the seven minions surrounded Meng Yanchang, Jiang Peng, Sun Ding and others with shining sharp blades in their hands.
