Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 457 Lu Zhishen Battles the Yellow-Eyebrowed King [2 Updates]

Cai Fu glanced at the mountain bandit and saw that he was nine feet tall, with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, two straight yellow eyebrows, and a blood-stained beard on his chin.

He wore a helmet made of wrought iron, a suit of black armor, rode a horse with a blue mane, and held a tiger-head crescent shovel in his hand.

Judging by its appearance, it seems to possess the courage of ten thousand men.

The mountain bandit had fought Lu Zhishen for countless rounds and was already at a disadvantage.

They could only parry, not retaliate.

The reason Cai Fu was still able to hold on was that he could tell from Lu Zhishen's beaming face that Lu Zhishen was really holding back and wanted to play with him for a long time.

Cai Fu then went over and stood alongside Yue Fei, watching the battle while asking Yue Fei about his condition.

Yue Fei said, "Brother, I had just run ahead of you when suddenly a tripwire appeared on the ground ahead of me!"

"Luckily, my 'Jade Tiger Cub' is clever and jumped over by itself!"

Because Cai Fu had a "Jade Lion Shining at Night", Yue Fei named his white horse "Jade Tiger Cub Shining at Night".

During the Han and Jin dynasties, chamber pots were called "tiger pots".

However, starting from the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid using the name of Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, it was changed to "Ma Zi" and has been used ever since.

So when a short, stocky man in a Hong Kong film calls his girlfriend "horse," it actually has cultural significance.

In this era, "tiger cub" means "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Yue Fei added, "...and then a group of bandits suddenly appeared!"

"The 'Yellow-Eyebrow King' took a fancy to my horse, but Third Brother took a fancy to his tiger-head crescent shovel, so they started fighting."

"Third Brother is something else. Even though 'King Yellow Eyebrows' was clearly at a disadvantage after forty rounds, Third Brother still wanted to play with him slowly!"

"Brother, are you getting impatient?"

As he spoke, Yue Fei shouted loudly to Lu Zhishen:
"Third Brother, stop playing around! Eldest Brother is getting impatient!"

"understood!"

Lu Zhishen responded and grinned maliciously at the "Yellow-Eyebrowed King":

"My older brother got impatient and said he was done playing!"

play?

"King Yellow Eyebrows" broke out in a cold sweat:
I gave it my all, and you're telling me it's all a joke?
In fact, "King Yellow Eyebrows" was not weak, but Lu Zhishen replaced him with a crescent shovel weighing 108 jin.

This crescent shovel is a size thicker than the "Yellow Eyebrow King's" crescent shovel, and it is powerful, heavy, and unstoppable!

Furthermore, Lu Zhishen was personally taught the "Mad Demon Staff Technique" by Zhou Tong, so "Yellow-Eyebrow King" was no match for him.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Lu Zhishen delivered a triple shovel strike to "King Yellow Eyebrows," knocking him off his horse!
"Oh my god!"

"King Yellow Eyebrows" was thrown around in a daze, his tiger-head crescent shovel flying away, and he roared in shock and anger:

"Where did this wild monk come from, possessing such excellent martial arts skills!"

"It's the master's fault, so let you pass!"

"call--"

Lu Zhishen pounced on him, pinning him beneath him, grabbing his hair, and unleashing a flurry of punches.
"Who do you think you are? What business is it of yours to me?"

Even on horseback, "King Yellow Eyebrows" was no match for Lu Zhishen; on the ground, he was utterly defeated.

Lu Zhishen was one of the best foot fighters in the entire Water Margin world, beating him until he was black and blue and cursing!

The henchmen of "Yellow-Eyebrow King" rushed forward to rescue the people, but Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and several others surrounded and beat the hundreds of henchmen, making them cry for their fathers and mothers...

Lu Zhishen beat and cursed at the same time: "I've followed my elder brother all over the country, what kind of heroes haven't I seen?"

"Even the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor, 'Precious Light Tathagata,' calls me 'Brother,' so you don't recognize me?"

"Wait! Wait!"

"King Yellow Eyebrows" recognized the pattern and immediately covered his head with his hands, shouting:
"I dare not ask the master's Dharma name?"

"Bang!" Lu Zhishen punched him, giving him a black eye.
"In the martial arts world, everyone calls me 'Flowery Monk' Lu Zhishen!"

"Oh!"

The "Yellow-Eyebrow King" was taken aback:
"Why didn't you say so earlier, Master?"
"I have long admired your great reputation, Master, but I regret that we are too far apart to meet you!"

"Master, please accept my bow!"

Because Lu Zhishen was riding on top of him, "Yellow-Eyebrowed King" could only lie on the ground and bang his forehead against the ground:

"'Iron-Faced' Dong Xian pays respects to the Master!"

It was him!

Cai Fu suddenly realized that there weren't many people who could use a crescent shovel, and he was the only one who could go toe-to-toe with Lu Zhishen.

This "Iron-Faced" Dong Xian was also a general in Yue Fei's army, only slightly inferior to Yue Fei.

Based on his record, Cai Fu estimated that he should have been on par with Yang Zhi at his peak, but now...

Sure enough, when Lu Zhishen pulled Dong Xian up and asked him, Dong Xian had just turned sixteen.

He just looks older than his age...

Cai Fu smiled at Lu Zhishen and said, "Third brother, didn't you say you wanted me to pick a good apprentice for you?"
What do you think of him?

Lu Zhishen's eyes lit up, but he deliberately frowned and sized up Dong Xian:
"It's not bad...".

Upon hearing this, Dong Xian immediately knelt down at Lu Zhishen's feet without hesitation:
"Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"

"Amitabha!"

Lu Zhishen rarely recited Buddhist scriptures.

This disciple is just too adorable, and I don't want to burst out laughing, so I have to chant Buddhist prayers to control my emotions.

But his mouth was already stretched all the way to his ears.

Lu Zhishen helped Dong Xian up with both hands: "Very well!"
"Since my elder brother has said so, I'll accept you as my disciple!"

When Dong Xian heard him mention his elder brother, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, is your elder brother perhaps the Prince of Qi?"

Lu Zhishen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense!"
"Besides the King of Qi, who else in this world is worthy to be my elder brother?"

Dong Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed. By becoming Lu Zhishen's disciple, he had essentially latched onto Cai Fu's powerful backer!

They even have official positions now!
Dong Xian hurriedly went to pay his respects to Cai Fu, and then to Yue Fei, Hu Sanniang, and other elders.

Through Lu Zhishen's connection, he and He Yuanqing became fellow disciples.

He Yuanqing is the second oldest, and he is the third oldest.

"Uncle, Master, Eighth Uncle, this mountain is called Jiugong Mountain. I've gathered over a thousand underlings on this mountain..."

Mr. Dong then introduced his situation.

In the original novel "The Story of Yue Fei", there were five leaders on the mountain, and Dong Xian also had four generals under his command: Tao Jin, Jia Jun, Wang Xin, and Wang Yi.

However, because the timeline is too early, these four generals were still under Zhang's command.

In the original novel "The Story of Yue Fei", Zhang Suo is the Grand Marshal of Jinling and Yue Fei's old superior.

Zhang Suo's son, Zhang Xian, was Yue Fei's son-in-law.

Later, Yue Fei was murdered by Qin Hui at Fengbo Pavilion. His eldest son, Yue Yun, and son-in-law, Zhang Xian, were also killed along with him.

So Cai Fu, Lu Zhishen and the others went up to the mountain stronghold to rest for the night.

The next day, Cai Fu and his party continued south, while Dong Xian packed up his gold and silver and led his henchmen to defect to the State of Qi.

Cai Fu and his group traveled south from Shandong, then turned towards Jingnan after reaching Jiangzhou.

This raises a question: when Cai Fu and his group arrived in Jiangzhou, they happened to pass by Poyang Lake.

There are some familiar faces around Poyang Lake...

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
