After bowing down, Zhao Kai and Zhou Botong naturally regarded each other as brothers... Zhou Botong was particularly enthusiastic about this novel gadget, and there was no sense of incompatibility in calling him. However, it took Zhao Kai a while to get used to it.
"Brother, tell me who you came to Peach Blossom Island to marry. Is she a very beautiful little girl?" Zhou Botong asked curiously, his eyes widening.
Since he had become a brother with a different surname, Zhao Kai had no intention of hiding it from him. He briefly told him what had happened. It was roughly the process of how he, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci met, got to know each other, and fell in love with each other.
.
Zhou Botong loves to listen to stories being told the most. He tilts his head and squints his eyes, listening with great interest. As long as Zhao Kai tells something even briefly, he will keep asking questions to get to the bottom of it.
When Zhao Kai finished speaking, Zhou Botong's eyes widened and he said loudly: "It turns out that the beautiful little girl is Huang Laoxie's daughter, and the eldest brother, you actually plan to marry two of them. This must have made Huang Laoxie furious.
Ah. Haha, awesome, he deserves to be my eldest brother. Let me just say, anyone who can be my eldest brother Zhou Botong is not a mortal."
Zhao Kaixin was so worried that if he told Zhou Botong that he had married two wives, his jaw would drop in shock.
Zhao Kai was thinking this, while Zhou Botong turned his head to face Zhao Kai and said mysteriously: "Brother, do you think why I am here?"
Zhao Kai naturally knew the secret, but he said: "Brother, I was about to ask you, brother, come on, tell me how you got to Peach Blossom Island?"
Zhou Botong smiled proudly and said, "It's a long story. Let me tell it to you slowly. Big brother knows that Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, and Zhongshentong competed in sword fighting at the top of Mount Huashan."
It’s about something?”
Zhao Kai nodded cooperatively and said: "Brother, I heard someone say this before."
Zhou Botong said: "It was at the end of winter, when Huashan Mountain was at the top and the mountain was covered with heavy snow. The five of them talked among themselves and competed with each other for seven days and seven nights in the heavy snow. East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar
The four of them finally admired that my senior brother Wang Chongyang’s martial arts was the best in the world. Do you know why the five of them were discussing swordsmanship in Huashan?"
As he spoke, Zhou Botong glanced at Zhao Kai provocatively, as if he wanted to test his newly recognized elder brother.
Zhao Kai shook his head and chuckled: "For a scripture."
"Brother, do you know?" Zhou Botong said in surprise.
Zhao Kai smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Zhou Botong patted his chest and said, "Yes, brother, you are the descendant of Xiaoyao, so you naturally know a lot about martial arts. Then do you know the origin of the Nine Yin Manual?"
Zhao Kai naturally knew this, but after Zhao Kai glanced at Zhou Botong, he smiled and said, "I don't know about this."
After hearing Zhao Kai's words, Zhou Botong pulled the long hair hanging down by his ears and said with a very proud expression: "Brother told me a very nice story just now. Now I will tell you this "Nine Yin Manual"
Tell me the origin of "."
Zhou Botong's reaction was not beyond Zhao Kai's expectation. Zhao Kai has now found a good way to get along with him.
Zhou Botong trimmed his hair proudly and said slowly: "Emperor Huizong searched all over the world for Taoist books during the Zhenghe period, and printed them on engravings. There were a total of 5,481 volumes, called the 'Wanshou Taoist Canon'. The emperor appointed
The person who carved the book is called Huang Shang. This has nothing to do with Huang Laoxie Huang Medicine Master. Brother, don’t think wrongly. There are so many people named Huang in the world. A yellow dog is also named Huang, and a yellow cat is also named Huang."
It seems that after being imprisoned in Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi for more than ten years, Zhou Botong's resentment towards him is not ordinary.
Zhou Botong continued: "Huang Shang was afraid that the wrong words were engraved in this Daozang, and the emperor would behead him if he found out, so he carefully read each volume. Unexpectedly, after reading this for several years, he actually became proficient in it. He learned Taoism and learned the profound principles of martial arts. He learned internal and external martial arts without a teacher, and became a great master of martial arts. Huang Shang became his official after practicing martial arts. A strange sect suddenly appeared under his rule in 2000, called the Ming Cult. It is said to have been introduced by the Persian Hu people in the Western Regions. These Ming Cult believers do not worship the Supreme Laojun, nor do they worship the Holy Master. , Third, he did not worship Tathagata Buddha, but worshiped foreign old demons, but he did not eat meat, but only ate vegetables. Emperor Huizong only believed in Taoism. When he found out, he issued an imperial edict asking Huang Shang to send troops to exterminate these evil demons and heretics. Unexpectedly, among the followers of Mingjiao, there are actually many martial arts masters. When the believers fight, they are not afraid of death. They are not as useless as the officers and soldiers. After several battles, the officers and soldiers led by Huang Shang were defeated. He was not angry. , personally went to challenge the masters of Mingjiao, and killed several Dharma kings and messengers in one breath. Who knew that some of the people he killed were leaders of famous martial arts sects, so their uncles and uncles, Senior brother, junior brother, senior sister, junior sister, senior aunt, senior aunt, master's godfather, and master's godmother all came out at once and made appointments with many experts from other sects to embarrass him and scold him for not acting according to the rules of the martial arts world. Huang Shang said: "I am an official, not a martial artist. How do I know about your martial arts rules?" The aunts and godfathers on the other side started arguing and said, "You If you are not a martial artist, how can you learn martial arts? Does your master only teach you martial arts and not the rules of martial arts? Huang Shang said: "I don't have a master." Those people don't believe it even to the death. After the quarrel, what do you think?"
Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "What else can I do? It depends on who has the stronger fist."
Zhou Botong said: "Isn't it? As soon as he got started, Huang Shang's martial arts was weird. No one had ever seen the opponent before. He killed several people on the spot, but he was outnumbered and injured, so he ran away with all his strength. Those He was so popular that he killed all his parents, wife and children."
When Zhao Kai heard this, he sighed. The so-called "no harm to the wife and children" rule of the rivers and lakes, when it comes to actual life and death hatred, everything seems so pale and powerless. The strong is respected, which is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
Zhou Botong continued: "That Huang Shang fled to a desolate place and hid. He memorized every martial arts move of dozens of opponents, so he thought hard about how to crack it. He had to figure it out. He finally figured out how to crack each of the tricks used by his enemies. He was very happy. He expected that even if these enemies swarmed up again, he would I can handle it alone. So I went out to the mountains to avenge myself. Unexpectedly, all those enemies disappeared. What do you think is the reason?"
Zhao Kai stood up, looked at the starry sky in the distance, and sighed: "The things in this world cannot be matched by time. Only people in this world have the thought of immortality."
Zhou Botong's eyes almost popped out of his head and he shouted: "When my senior brother told me this story, he also asked me to guess. I guessed seven or eight times but failed. Brother, you guessed it right once." Already."
Zhou Botong looked at Zhao Kai in disbelief and continued: "Huang Shang searched everywhere and finally found an enemy for him. This person was a woman. When she started fighting with him, she was only a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but When Huang Shang found her, he saw that she had turned into an old woman in her sixties... Huang Shang's dozens of enemies, all of them were masters. Their martial arts included various schools and sects. How profound and complicated were they? He wanted to How much effort does it take to crack each person's trick? It turns out that he was hiding alone in the mountains studying martial arts. All he thought about day and night was martial arts and nothing else. Unknowingly, more than forty years had passed. ."
A full forty years is already half a life for ordinary people. Time is ruthless, so how can one care about the life and death of a mortal. (To be continued.)
