Chapter 224: Master Zuo Unleashes His Sword

After watching Ou Zanghua and his group leave the mountain, Lu Tiancheng turned back to the snake catcher, threw a purse to him, and said, "This is the money you earned from selling the snake. I protected you in front of Mr. Ou, which is also a repayment for our three years of brotherhood. From now on, I am no longer your elder brother, and you are no longer my younger brother."

The snake catcher took the money bag in bewilderment. He looked at his brother and opened his mouth, but he knew that he had indeed gone too far this time. He could only nod and said, "Brother, you are a capable man. I have indeed embarrassed you. I wish you all the best in the future and a long life!"

Lu Tiancheng was also feeling bad. Normally, the snake catchers would take some wild game and herbs from his hut, but he never complained.

This time, the snake catcher not only stole the golden anaconda he had worked so hard to take care of, but also brought so many outsiders to his residence that they almost trampled out a small platform in front of his house.

In other words, the person he met this time was the gentle Ou Tanhua. If it was a more brutal guy, a bloody battle would be inevitable.

The snake catcher walked a distance away before opening his purse and found fifty taels of silver in it. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.
Lu Tiancheng did not return to his wooden house. He remembered what Ou Zanghua had said and went all the way to Zhenwu Mountain.

There is a saying among the people that those who go to Wudang Mountain in Junzhou must first go to Zhenwu Mountain in Xiangyang to present a memorial to Zhenwu Emperor, which is considered as reporting to the Emperor.

Those who have money and energy should continue to go to Tianzhu Peak of Wudang Mountain to worship the Golden Summit. Those who lack money and energy or are sick can turn back here, which can be regarded as fulfilling their wish to worship the Zhenwu Emperor.

Lu Tiancheng walked to a valley at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain, where there was a small Taoist temple with "Shouyi Temple" written on it. The deity enshrined inside was Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

A female nun wearing a shawl, cloud-like sleeves and a skirt, with eyebrows like green feathers and skin as white as mutton fat, can be considered a beauty.

As if she had noticed someone, the nun turned her head and when she saw Lu Tiancheng, she gave a subtle smile.

Lu Tiancheng felt his heart was about to jump out, he said cheerfully: "Piaomiao Fairy, I encountered an interesting thing today, a big shot came to the mountain"

At the same time, after Ou Zanghua and his party returned to Xiangyang City, Zuo Lengchan ordered Ding Mian and Lu Bai to protect Lord Ou, and then he found a quiet courtyard and began to retreat.

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua arranged a few servants to take care of his life and no longer paid any attention to him.

His attention was drawn back to the bandit army.

Liu Hui and Zhao Sui obviously underestimated Qiu Yue, who had been fighting for many years. They discovered something wrong the day after they withdrew.

Afterwards, Qiu Yue decisively led the 3,000-man battalion in pursuit and sent a pigeon to inform Peng Ze.

The two armies of the imperial court attacked one after the other. A two-legged army could never outrun a four-legged army. The two sides fought a fierce battle near Yinshui City. The western army of the rebel army was defeated. Liu Hui and Zhao Sui had no time to take care of Runing, so they had to fight and retreat. At this moment, they were about to retreat to Suizhou.

Ou Zanghua immediately took out the map to check it out. It was located in a very sensitive area, connected to Wuchang in the east, Xiangyang in the west, Nanyang and Xinyang in the north, and Jingmen and Xiaogan in the south.

I just don't know whether Liu Hui and Zhao Sui deliberately ran to Suizhou or were forced to Suizhou by Peng Ze and Qiu Yue.

After thinking for a while, Ou Zanghua decisively gave orders, asking the Xiangyang Guard and Tianjin Right Guard to prepare for battle, ready to move southwards to encircle and attack the Western Route Army at any time. At the same time, he ordered the navy to intensify patrols and never allow the enemy army to cross the river.

The years do not live, the seasons flow.

In a blink of an eye, Zuo Lengchan had been in seclusion for five days. He slowly opened his eyes, picked up the ink stick, and began to grind the ink slowly.

Then he picked up the pen and wrote carefully:
For swordsmen, one must be vigorous and energetic, two must be strong and soft, three must be balanced, four must be balanced in yin and yang, and five must be able to turn the spirit root when the sword has double blades or double fronts. If the enemy is fighting with a big sword, attack them back and forth in the gaps.
Zuo Lengchan spent a whole day writing down all his thoughts. Looking at his handwriting, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, saying, "If Lord Ou reads it, I'm afraid he will inevitably say 'your handwriting is so ugly'!"

But it doesn't matter. He is just a warrior, so it doesn't matter if his handwriting is ugly!
After organizing the twenty-eight pages of manuscript, Zuo Lengchan walked out of his retreat.

The servants outside saw him coming out and bowed and said, "Hello, Captain Zuo."

"Yes." Zuo Lengchan nodded and asked, "Where is Lord Ou now?"

The servant thought for a while and said, "In the past, Lord Ou was handling matters in the Xiangyang Guard Central Army Camp."

Zuo Lengchan understood and walked decisively towards the Xiangyang Guard camp. Anyone who saw him along the way would greet him with a polite smile and a humble tone.

After entering the military camp, the feeling was different again. The soldiers here looked at him with admiration.

When he arrived at the central army camp, he happened to see Ou Zanghua studying a map, and immediately bowed and said, "I am Zuo Lengchan, your humble servant, and I am here to see Lord Ou!"

"Uncle Zuo is here!"

Ou Zanghua looked up at Zuo Lengchan and said with a smile, "Quickly, stop being polite!"

Zuo Lengchan smiled, took out his hard work from his arms, handed it to Ou Zanghua, and said sincerely: "Sir Ou, this is what I gained from Dugu Sword Tomb this time, I have sorted it all out."

"So many?" Ou Zanghua looked at it and said with some surprise.

"Yes," Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "There are some questions about the way of swordsmanship that I have never thought about before. This time, with the guidance of Senior Dugu, many unclear points have been answered."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua's expression became more serious. He moved the map aside and began to read Zuo Lengchan's manuscript.

This was incredible. Zuo Lengchan used simple words to analyze the way of swordsmanship. Even a martial arts mediocre like Ou Zanghua felt a sense of sudden enlightenment:

The spear points to his head, the stick points to his base, the halberd, the sword and the whip look for the copper door outside.
If you encounter two sickles and two crutches, turn left and right and separate them
When using the tiger hook, do not get close to the person, as you can take the opportunity to kill the person.

When swords meet, your steps will fly high, and your shoulders, elbows and wrists must be steady and even.

Adjust the visual spirit and the pivot shell, and observe the changes in the qi in the mysterious gate.
All generals who are going to attack the goal will use fake moves to avoid being serious.

He was so agile and nimble that it was hard to tell who was who.

The eyes are clear and the gallbladder is sharp, the energy is entangled and the mind is focused.
"This is really a fruitful experience for me!" Ou Zanghua looked up at Zuo Lengchan in surprise. Why does this look like an old peasant version of "Nine Swords of Dugu"?

simple,

It's so fucking simple!

Ou Zanghua couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought of a name?"

Zuo Lengchan was stunned, shook his head and said, "I want to ask Lord Ou for advice first. I haven't thought of a name yet, so why not ask Lord Ou to think of one?"

"This is the hard work of Master Zuo. How can I send troops to take it away?" Ou Zanghua shook his head and refused.

Zuo Lengchan said calmly: "If Lord Ou hadn't taken me to Dugu Sword Tomb, I wouldn't have had such a harvest. Lord Ou, please give me a name. And to be honest with you, Lord Ou, I'm not good at naming."

"Is that so?" Ou Zanghua frowned slightly. In fact, he was not very good at naming!
After thinking for a while, Ou Zanghua decided to come up with a simple and rough answer, and said: "Since it is the insights of Master Zuo, let's call it "Master Zuo's Sword". No matter who reads this secret book in the future, they should remember Master Zuo's contribution."

"'Master Zuo Unleashes the Sword'. Very good!" Zuo Lengchan smiled. He liked this name very much.
