Chapter Fourteen

The two lived in Xiajiabao for more than a month. Yin Zhantu not only continued to practice his own internal skills, but also taught Pan Da, Zheng Xun, Xia Ming and others some Kongtong sect martial arts. The three of them practiced seriously, day by day.

Continuously, the martial arts have improved. Han Ning also asked for advice and gained something. It turns out that Han Ning also knows some basic martial arts. He learned it from his mother. This time he learned it from the printing exhibition. It is very different.

, someone gave me some advice, and progress has been rapid. I can already perform the Flying Dragon Palm in a tangible way, but I just need some inner strength training and the heat is not enough.

On this day, almost in the winter months, the castle suddenly received an escort job. The escort owner was a woman. He sent a box containing a scimitar to Jiangning Mansion, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The escort paid a sum of money in advance.

One hundred taels, the name of Yin Zhantu's bodyguard was called. Xia Ming took the escort, gave some instructions, and handed the box to Yin Zhantu. Yin Zhantu told Han Ning about the bodyguard. Han Ning became stubborn and must do it.

Then, Xia Ming coaxed her with earnest words and finally managed to stabilize Han Ning and stay in Xiajiabao. The printed picture showed that Han Ning stayed in Xiajiabao with peace of mind, so she carried the box, picked up the Chilong Steel Whip, and left on horseback.

Xiajiabao, riding alone towards the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In the Jin Kingdom, the people were displaced due to the disaster of war. Yin Zhantu thought: I have nothing but martial arts, if it cannot benefit the people, what is the use? I will find like-minded people in the future, and I will definitely put an end to the troubled times and bring peace to the people.

world.

After traveling for three days, we entered the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time was Li Jing. He continued the policies of the previous dynasty, protecting the land and the people, and encouraging farmers to cultivate mulberry trees. The territory was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the rice fields were billowing.

, the farmers were singing and laughing at their work, the smoke was curling up in the villages, and the printed pictures were in a good mood.

On this day, I came to Chuzhou, an important town in Huaibei, and it was noon. I found a restaurant in the city to rest. This restaurant was not as bleak as the restaurants outside Youzhou City. The restaurant was full of customers, fisting, drinking, and chatting. It was very lively. Print Exhibition

Tu touched his arms and saw that the money he had brought with him before leaving was still there, so he chose a seat by the window and sat down. There was already a young man sitting in this seat. He was about the same age as the printed exhibition Tu. He had his hair tied up in a bun.

Wrapped in a green scarf, with a fair face, light eyebrows and small eyes, an obvious horizontal stripe on his forehead, and a blue shirt, he sat down opposite the Yin Exhibition Picture, nodded and smiled at it, and said hello.

Zhan Tu also cupped his fists and returned the salute, saying: "Brother, we really don't have a seat, so I have to share a table with you."

The young man said: "It's okay, you can do it yourself. I'm feeling bored. May I ask what you call me?"

Yin Zhantu replied: "Yin Zhantu, where are you?"

The young man said: "I don't dare to be your Excellency. It's Zhang Sujian. If we just print one chapter, the government affairs will be taken care of! Hahaha!"

Yin Zhantu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and thought to himself: This young man is quite funny and can laugh at people very well.

This young man was none other than Zhang Sujian. More than a month ago, he and Tang Ziyan ran toward the fighting crowd at Langhouyu. They happened to catch up with the cavalry led by Gongyang Xin and rushed to disrupt the crowd. The Nestorian people took advantage of the chaos and broke out. Zhang

, Tang and Tang followed closely behind, and later caught up with the Nestorian people. Qi Huaigu met Zhang Sujian, and Jiang Yinyi met Tang Ziyan. In addition, Dong Wanshu and Wu Li had also joined Nestorianism and became the masters of the Seven-Star Pavilion, so everyone brought them together.

Introduced to the leader Sun Hao, everyone merged together and returned to the main hall of the Goddess Peak. Unexpectedly, Tang Mo Zhai followed him all the way and poisoned everyone in Hanzhong. Tang Ziyan realized that something was wrong and fought fiercely with Tang Mo Zhai. Unfortunately, he was hit by Tang Mo Zhai's venomous sand.

After being injured, Wu Li fired a green flame needle to drive Tang Mo Zhai away. Only then did everyone escape the disaster.

Tang Ziyan was poisoned and was sent to the Goddess Peak. After Dong Wanshu checked the injury, he found that the poison was bamboo leaf green poison. He gave him antitoxic powder and temporarily controlled the poison. However, if he wanted to completely remove the poison, he needed to collect unique drugs in the Yandang Mountain area.

Huitian Zicalyx can have miraculous effects, so Jiang Naanyi and Zhang Sujian volunteered to come to Yandang Mountain to collect medicine.

The two of them walked together at first, but unexpectedly, they encountered many people who were trying to rob and kill them along the way. Everyone came for the dragon picture, but they were repelled by the two of them. In order to prevent being poisoned and attacked by others, Jiang Yinyi suggested that the two of them attack each other.

We walked separately, within sight of each other, one behind the other, with someone looking after us. It turned out that the journey was uneventful, and today we arrived in Chuzhou and rested in a restaurant.

Zhang Sujian asked again: "Brother, are you alone?"

The printed picture said: "Exactly."

Zhang Sujian said: "Brother, please help me keep an eye on the woman behind me and see if there is anything unusual around her."

Yin Zhantu thought to himself: This person is a bit weird. Although he was puzzled, seeing that Zhang Sujian had a simple and honest face and did not look like a treacherous person, he nodded in agreement.

At this time, the waiter brought the food and wine and the two of them ate. Zhang Sujian took a few bites of the food and kept looking back at the woman behind him. Yin Zhantu was very puzzled. Zhang Sujian looked up and was surprised to see Yin Zhantu.

He looked at himself, knowing that the other party was curious, and said: "Brother Yin, aren't you weird that I keep looking back at that girl?"

Yin Zhantu nodded.

Zhang Sujian continued: "She and I met and we were together. We were robbed and killed by gangsters on the road. For safety's sake, we walked and sat separately. However, I still felt uneasy and worried that someone would attack her, so I would look back from time to time.

"

After hearing this, Yin Zhantu smiled and said, "If you trust me, I will help you protect her!"

That woman was Jiang Mianyi. She had excellent swordsmanship and was cautious, so she didn't need anyone's protection. However, Zhang Sujian was cautious. After being poisoned by Tang Mo Zhai once, he naturally became more vigilant, fearing that Jiang Mianyi would make the same mistake again.

Zhang Sujian was moved by Yin Zhantu's words of help. The young man in front of him, regardless of his skill, was willing to help with words and had sincere eyes. He was a trustworthy person. So, he raised his wine bowl gratefully and said, "Brother Yin, this is my friend."

In other words, I am extremely grateful, brother!" After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp.

Yin Zhantu finished his drink, and when he saw Jiang Yiyi getting up and leaving the store, he whispered: "The girl is leaving, will you follow her?"

Zhang Sujian said: "Wait for a while and see if anyone is following you."

The two of them sat and continued eating without moving. Sure enough, they saw six people at the middle table stand up, grab weapons, and follow Jiang Mianyi out.

Zhang Sujian took out dozens of copper coins, put them on the table, got up and followed the printed exhibition pictures out.

The two of them were more than ten steps away from the six people and followed closely. They could see Jiang Yinyi's back in the distance. After crossing the street, they saw Jiang Yinyi leaping into a yard. The six people walked a few steps quickly and also jumped.

Entering, Zhang Sujian and the printed exhibition followed closely behind. When they arrived outside the courtyard, they heard only a few muffled groans, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.

The two jumped to the wall, only to see Jiang Mianyi standing in the middle of the courtyard, with two swords hidden behind her. There were six people lying around, and there was a pool of blood under each person. He looked dead.

Jiang Yinyi smiled at the two of them and said: "The charm of the Youlong Picture is so great that even the Hengshan Sect has set its sights on us, but they are all people who can't help but fight."

Zhang Sujian apologized: "Yiyi, I was a step too late and couldn't help."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Yin Zhantu was shocked: Could this woman be Jiang Mianyi, the master swordsman who defeated the head of the Wuji Sect in the battle at Langhouyu?

On that day, Yin Zhantu stood outside the crowd and could not see her face clearly. He only remembered that the woman was wearing light yellow clothes and wielding a pair of colorful long swords under the sun. The appearance of the girl in front of her at this moment was the same as that of that day.

Yin Zhan Tu asked Zhang Sujian softly: "Is this girl Jiang Mianyi from Nestorianism?"

Although the voice was small, Jiang Mianyi had already heard it and replied: "It's just a little girl." As he spoke, he smiled sweetly and continued: "Brother Su Jian, you don't have to worry about it. Sooner or later, there will be times when a master will disturb you, and you will need your help.

That's it." After saying that, he jumped out of the hospital and continued to move forward.

Yin Zhantu looked at the corpses in the courtyard, took a breath, and said to Zhang Sujian: "You can't stay here for a long time, let's continue to follow!"

Zhang Sujian nodded in agreement, and the two jumped off the wall and continued to follow.

After leaving Chuzhou City, the three of them bought horses and continued to walk slowly, one in front and two behind. On the way, Zhang Sujian asked about the itinerary of the printing exhibition map. He heard that it was Jiangning Mansion and happened to be on the way. The two chatted very speculatively.

, became good friends, so they agreed to go their separate ways at Jiangning Mansion.

When Yin Zhantu asked about Nestorianism, Zhang Sujian told him the story he heard from Jiang Mianyi in detail.

It turns out that Nestorianism originated from the Christianity of the Qin Dynasty. When it spread to Syria, a branch appeared in Syria, called the Nestorian sect. After the Nestorian sect split from the Christian orthodox sect that was the state religion of the Qin Dynasty at that time, it gradually spread to the east and entered Persia.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the Nestorian monk Aluoben introduced this religion to the Central Plains. In the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin issued an edict saying that "Aluoben, a Persian monk, will come from afar to offer scriptures and teachings to the capital", and ordered that he be sent to the capital in Chang'an.

A temple was built in Yiningfang in the city, and twenty-one monks were taught and allowed to preach. Nestorianism is the name given by the Han believers who believe in this religion.

Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty also protected it. People in the Tang Dynasty also called Nestorian Temple the Persian Temple. At the beginning of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, Nestorianism was criticized, but thanks to the efforts of priests such as Luo Han and the protection of Xuanzong, it did not suffer misfortune. During the four years of Tang Tianbao (

745) Xuanzong ordered it to be renamed Daqin Temple.

Nestorian temples were not only built in Chang'an, but also in local prefectures. After Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, he established monasteries in the northwest region. The believers were not only people from the Western Regions who came to the Tang Dynasty, but also local Han people, and there were translated classics. For example, in the time of Aroben,

"Preface to the Sutras of Miscellaneous Poems", "Monotheism", etc. During the Tang Wuzong Huichang, Buddhism was abolished, and Nestorianism was banned at the same time. Then it declined, and gradually transferred to underground associations to spread, and it was passed down to the leader of the generation of Changsun Hao, which coincided with the war and the change of political power.

Frequently, no one restricts religious affairs, and it has only grown to its current scale after painstaking efforts.

After hearing Zhang Sujian's story, Yin Zhantu was surprised and said: "Nestorianism has been introduced to China since the peak of the Tang Dynasty. It has a deep origin."

Zhang Sujian nodded and said: "I heard that the leader Changsun Hao, who was still a nobleman, actually joined a pagan religion. I wonder what the method of this religion is to confuse people's hearts?"

The picture of the printed exhibition says: "Nowadays, in the autumn of troubled times, the current situation is turbulent and turbulent. Powerful people are all obsessed with power and making troubles. They deceive each other and poison the people, causing frequent wars. There is no permanent peace in the country. The people of Li are in danger and do not believe in paganism.

, what hope do you have!

Zhang Sujian thought thoughtfully and said: "Brother Yin, now the Khitans have invaded the Central Plains and smeared the Han people. Such a ferocious alien race, we martial artists cannot stand by and watch."

Yin Zhantu said: "When I send the escort, we two brothers will do something big and cause trouble for Yelu Deguang. What do you think?"

Zhang Sujian was thinking about this when his father Zhang Jingzun died at the hands of a Khitan master, and he was filled with hatred. At this time, he was thinking of causing trouble for the Khitan people. After listening to what Yin Zhantu said, he was also a man of both wisdom and courage, and a clear distinction between right and wrong.

After hearing what the print exhibition said, I definitely agreed.
