The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 195: Sword God, Capture (asking for monthly ticket)
This time, in addition to asking the thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island masters to rush to Tianshan, Zhao Ti also called five or six of his subordinates to come together.

In addition to Zhou Tong, Su Da and Zhu Chuyi, there are also Jiumozhi and Huo Linglong.

These people left marks along the way, especially when they left the territory of Western Xia, they marked everywhere on the Tianshan Mountains, for fear that Zhao Ti would lose his place.

This day it was Jiumozhi's turn to wait outside the town. Seeing Zhao Ti approaching, he hurried over to greet him.

Zhao Ti asked if anyone had been seen coming down from Piaomiao Peak. Jiumozhi shook his head and said that it was quiet on the Tianshan Mountain and no one had been seen coming down the mountain from there.

Zhao Ti nodded, then entered the town, and everyone came over to greet him.

Originally, the Mumen Town was a place built spontaneously by the steppe Tatars and was not under the jurisdiction of any place.

There was abundant grass and water in this season, and all the residents in the town drove their cattle and sheep to graze in search of grass and water. Not many were left. The group decided that in order to make things easier, they should give gold and silver directly to the remaining old and weak people who were looking after the house, and ask them to live somewhere else for a while before coming back.

At this moment, Mumen Town is full of our own people, about one or two hundred people, dressed in various outfits, as if they are living a normal life.

Zhao Ti held a brief meeting for everyone, and then ordered them to prepare a bonfire dinner in the evening. After they had a good meal, they would decide how to attack the Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak.

There were already some sheep in the town, which were the food for the townspeople. They were bought earlier and started to roast them in the evening.

The town is not very big. When night falls, the bonfire is burning and the fragrance floats far away in the wind, making it look very lively.

Zhao Ti sat on the ground in front of a campfire, with a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, a gentle breeze, and he ate while looking at the distant scenery, feeling quite comfortable.

Just when everyone was halfway through their meal and in high spirits, he suddenly looked towards the entrance of the town. There was a big tree, dense and green, which had been growing for who knows how many years.

Jiumozhi also looked over and frowned. Huo Linglong sneered from the opposite side, "I wonder who is here to spy."

After a while, a clear voice was heard: "You all are in a good mood."

Everyone looked up and saw a Taoist with a black beard standing on a large tree at the town entrance. He was holding a whisk in his hand and his expression was casual and relaxed as he moved up and down with the branches.

Wu Xiong immediately looked at Zhao Ti, who nodded slightly. Wu Xiong asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you spying on us?"

The Taoist on the treetop smiled and said, "But is it Mr. Wu from the Black Wind Cave in Yunwu Mountain who is here in person?"

Wu Xiong sneered and said, "It's Wu, why don't you tell me your name?"

But the man said, "No hurry, no hurry, Mr. Wu, the thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island masters gathered here, is it because of the person on Tianshan Mountain?"

Wu Xiong's face changed color when he heard this. He stole a glance at Zhao Ti, and seeing that Zhao Ti was still nodding slightly, he said loudly, "What are you talking about? If you don't sign up, don't blame me for being rude."

The Taoist laughed and said, "I have a Taoist name, called the Taoist of Unfairness. I think Mr. Wu must have heard of it."

Wu Xiong showed a surprised look: "But Jiao Wang is dissatisfied with the Taoist?"

The Taoist nodded. At this time, Zhou Tong whispered beside Zhao Ti: "Sir, this man is also both good and evil. He behaves like the cave masters and island masters. His martial arts should be slightly better than Wu Xiong's."

Zhao Ti thought about it and realized it was this person. It turned out that this person was in collusion with Boss Wu and the owner of the cave and the island, and together they went to Tianshan to fight against the Tonglao of Lingjiu Palace.

This man was a sworn brother of the Sword God Zhuo Bufan. Together with Zhuo Bufan and Hibiscus Fairy Cui Luhua, he guarded the statue of the Holy Maiden of Tianshan and killed and injured many Tianshan disciples.

Later, he chased Xu Zhu and Tong Lao with Wu Lao Da and others, but was hit on the head by a pine cone thrown by Xu Zhu and died.

Zhao Ti pondered for a moment, why did Taoist Buping appear here? He wondered where the so-called Sword God Zhuo Bufan was at the moment.

This Zhuo Bufan is the person I have always wanted to find.

Taoist Buping said with a smile from the top of the tree: "It is me, little Taoist. Nice to meet the cave masters and island masters."

As he spoke, he jumped down from the treetop and made several body movements, showing off his martial arts skills.

Most of the cave masters and island masters present knew this person. When they saw that Zhao Ti did not show up and asked Wu Xiong to speak, they all understood what he meant and started to greet him.

Then he looked at the Taoist Buping and said, "I have heard that you have suffered a lot from the Tianshan Child-Grandma of the Lingjiu Palace in Piaomiao Peak..."

He paused here, with a smile on his face.

Wu Xiong snorted when he heard this: "Did Taoist Buping come here specifically to laugh at us?"

Taoist Buping shook his head and continued, "How dare you do that? You have all been humiliated by Tong Lao, and all heroes in the world are sighing. I don't know why you don't stand up and resist. There must be someone to help you. Even I am willing to draw my sword to lend a hand."

Wu Xiong's eyes flickered as he said, "Tong Lao is strict with us because it's for our own good. We are grateful to her. How can we say we are resisting?"

The Taoist Buping said, "I am being nosy. I will go to Tianshan Mountain to talk to Tong Lao and tell her that the friends from the 36 caves and 72 islands are very filial to her and are in disguise in the town below the mountain, planning to celebrate her birthday." Everyone stood up immediately after hearing this, and everyone looked unhappy. Someone shouted, "What do you mean by that, you Niubi?"

Someone else shouted, "Master Wudong, we can't let this bull nose go. If he really goes up the mountain, won't he sell us all out?"

"Do you want to kill people to silence them?" Taoist Buping said with a smile, "Brother Sword God, Fairy Furong, the Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-two Islands wanted to rebel against Tong Lao, but I caught them. Please save them quickly."

His voice was so loud that it traveled far away, causing a buzzing echo all around.

At this moment, a cold and arrogant voice came from the south: "I don't have that ability, Brother Buping, you'd better run away quickly."

A female voice came from the north: "Who told you to meddle in other people's business? You wanted to help others, but they didn't appreciate it and wanted to kill you to silence you. You deserve it."

Wu Xiong looked at Zhao Ti again. Zhao Ti made a gentle gesture and he immediately said in a loud voice: "Master Buping, Sword Master Zhuo, and Fairy Furong, are you three really willing to help? If so, I have wronged you. Please come over and meet me."

At this time, Taoist Buping smiled and said, "In that case, please come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed in the distance in the south. The figure moved very quickly and a handsome man with long flowing beard came over in a moment.

The man seemed to be in his forties or fifties, with a long sword on his back. His movements were graceful, and there was a hint of pride on his face.

Zhao Ti looked at him by the campfire and knew that this was the Sword God Zhuo Bufan. This man was born in the Yizi Huijian Sect and had a grudge against the Tong Lao. The Yizi Huijian Sect was wiped out by the Tianshan Tong Lao more than 20 years ago, and he was the only one who escaped by chance.

The reason why he appeared at this moment was, firstly, to borrow the power of these cave masters and island masters to go to Tianshan for revenge, and secondly, to seize the antidote of the life and death talisman, so as to control the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands and establish his own power.

As for the reason why Zhao Ti wanted to find him, it was because after this person's sect was wiped out by the Tianshan Tonglao, he fled far away and found a sword manual left by a senior master in the desolate and extremely cold mountains in the north.

The sword techniques recorded in this sword manual are extremely strange and rare. They can actually produce sword light. They can produce an unpredictable green light about half a foot long on the tip of the sword. Once this sword light is used, it will stretch and contract like a long snake and can hurt people.

The sword moves in this set of sword techniques are also very exquisite. It is not about speed, but the ability to instantly cut an object into different equal numbers of the same size, without any difference. The sword force is extremely subtle, and the use of internal force is extremely mysterious.

Whether in the Langhuan Jade Cave, the Huishi Water Pavilion, or even when Zhao Ti heard Zhou Tong and others talk about the sword-wielding sects in the martial arts world, he had never seen or heard of any kind of sword technique that could produce a sword light more than half a foot long that could hurt people.

Even when he used the Sunflower Sword Technique, it only surrounded the sword and covered it with a layer of hazy light. This was different from the half-foot-long flickering green light on the tip of the sword.

Therefore, he had always wanted to see what this sword technique was all about. Although Zhuo Bufan was defeated by Xu Zhu twice in a row at Piaomiao Peak, Xu Zhu's internal strength was too high, so the difference in martial arts between the two could not be judged solely by victory or defeat. It was very likely that Zhuo Bufan's internal strength was too weak, and his sword technique had not yet been truly mastered.

While Zhao Ti was thinking, a woman in green skirt came from the north. She was about thirty years old, pretty, with a face as beautiful as a lotus petal. She was Cui Luhua, the Hibiscus Fairy.

I saw her holding a black cloth bag with a rope tied around the mouth. I didn't know what was in the bag, and she came closer.

At this time, Zhuo Bufan said, "My fellow cave masters and island masters, do you really want to attack Piaomiao Peak?"

Wu Xiong looked at the three people, clasped his fists, and said with a wry smile: "Since we have been caught by the three of you, I will not hide the truth. We are discussing the specific plan here. When we have thought it through, we will go straight to Tianshan Mountain, capture Tong Lao, and avenge our hatred!"

Taoist Buping nodded and said, "It's not false that the three of us are willing to lend a helping hand. We also have a grudge against Tong Lao, so you should rest assured."

Cui Luhua smiled and said, "It's not enough for you all to just discuss here. You must know the current situation in Lingjiu Palace, how many masters are there, and how the arrangements are. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Wu Xiong heard this and said, "Well... Fairy, what you said makes sense, but I am ashamed to say that we are a little timid and have not yet sent anyone to sneak into the peak."

Cui Luhua shook his head and said, "This is your mistake. Zhuo Jianshen and I did go to the top of the mountain to investigate before."

"Oh?" Wu Xiong hurriedly asked, "How did the Sword God and the Fairy find out?"

Cui Luhua said: "We also tried our best to hide, fearing that we would be seen by others, but after quietly walking around for a while, we were still spotted by a little girl in the flower garden behind the palace."

Wu Xiong was surprised and asked, "We were caught by a little girl?"

Cui Luhua nodded: "I don't know if she was a maid or a servant. I originally wanted to kill her, but seeing that she was too young, I was afraid that she would leave traces. I was also afraid that she would learn martial arts in the palace and that a fight would attract attention. But in the end, I had no choice but to take action."

Wu Xiong asked: "What then?"

Cui Luhua laughed and said, "Who would have thought that once I started fighting, I discovered that this girl had no martial arts skills at all. As soon as she was slightly overpowered, she collapsed without any strength left in her body."

Wu Xiong asked in confusion: "Since you are afraid of leaving traces, why not just kill him directly?"

Cui Luhua said: "Catch her and bring her down from the peak."

Wu Xiong asked in surprise, "Brought down from the peak? Where is he now?"

Cui Luhua smiled and pointed to the black bag beside her: "It's right here."
