There aren't many people, but each one of them is a good player.

It has to be said that there are some bad apples in Quanzhen Sect, such as Zhao Zhijing, but most of the disciples are still very patriotic.

As soon as they heard that they were going to Xiangyang City to defend their country, they all signed up enthusiastically. If Yin Zhiping had not stopped them, when Wang Chuyi came out, they would have found that apart from the Five Quanzhen disciples and the elderly kitchen uncles and cleaning aunties, there were only a few cowards like Zhao Zhijing in the Quanzhen Sect.

Chapter 5 Guarding the Backbone of the Nation

"Brother, I didn't expect the mountain to be so chaotic..."

It has been five days since we came down the mountain.

Over the past five days, Yin Zhiping and his team witnessed the chaos of the twilight years of the dynasty.

The place at the foot of Mount Zhongnan is relatively good because of the Quanzhen Sect. Ordinary thieves and robbers will avoid this kind of martial arts sect.

Tragedy like the one that happened in Yinjia Village rarely happens in Zhongnanshan's territory. Once the Quanzhen Sect learns about it, they will take action to clean it up.

However, the further away from Mount Zhongnan, the more cruel what you see and hear is a hundred times or a thousand times more than you can imagine.

One word: chaos!

The people were displaced, either fleeing or on their way to escape. Many were forced to become bandits, using the lives of others in exchange for their own survival.

Yin Zhiping understood, so he would take action to deal with it when he saw it.

Taoism will not accept people like them who have lost their conscience. It can only send them to the Buddhist temple in the West, where the Buddha will persuade them to lay down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot.

When the Buddhist sect is fully staffed, Yin Zhiping will definitely be given a medal or something as a token of gratitude!

Li Zhichang roasted fire and ate dry food.

There is no village nearby and no hotel nearby, so I can only spend the night in the wild.

"These are chaotic times. There's not much we can do. We can only manage what we see. There's nothing else we can do."

Yin Zhiping remained calm. Even though he was dissatisfied with the current rulers, he knew that he could not change anything.

"But, with the foreign tribes eyeing us covetously, it's already so difficult before we even get in. What if..."

Li Zhichang couldn't continue speaking. What he said next was a bit outrageous, but he really couldn't understand why such a situation had occurred.

"You mean to say that if Xiangyang falls, the Mongolian cavalry will be able to march straight to Huanglong. At that time, we Han people who are not of our race will be in great trouble."

Yin Zhiping calmly said what Li Zhichang had not said.

Li Zhichang's face looked a little ugly. What Yin Zhiping said was exactly what he didn't say, and the meaning was exactly the same.

"You're right, but have you ever considered that the Song Dynasty court is already corrupt? They sit high up in the court, only caring about their own pleasures and completely disregarding the lives of the people. Even if there were no foreign invasion, how would the people be better off?"

Li Zhichang's face changed drastically. He didn't know why Senior Brother Yin, who was always tactful, would say such a thing. If the court knew about it, he would be beheaded, and even the Quanzhen Sect would be implicated.

"Senior Brother Yin, be careful with your words!"

Yin Zhiping glanced at Li Zhichang, who was so nervous that he was sweating.

"Don't worry, the imperial court has no time to care about the affairs of the martial arts world. They still need to rely on the martial arts world to defend Xiangyang for them. Otherwise, why do you think Guo Daxia, a mere warrior, can mobilize a large number of troops in Xiangyang?"

Having said this, Yin Zhiping was not afraid of being known by others. He believed that even if his words today were heard by the court, they would only hide away in helplessness and rage and would not do anything. When they came out, they would just pretend that they knew nothing.

Because they now have to rely on Guo Jing and the Song Dynasty martial arts world, and the whole world knows about the relationship between Guo Jing and Quanzhen Sect, so they can only swallow their anger.

"Then according to what you said, Senior Brother, what's the point of not only us, but also so many martial artists, including Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang, guarding this Xiangyang City?"

Yin Zhiping's few words shocked Li Zhichang so much that he felt dizzy and felt a chill running down his spine, overturning his entire worldview.

"It makes sense, how could it not? We are not defending Xiangyang City or those who eat and sleep at our tables. We are defending the backbone of millions of Han people and the destiny of our Han family. As long as our backbone is not broken, even if Xiangyang City is lost and foreigners enter the Central Plains, sooner or later we will drive them out."

Knowing history, Yin Zhiping made such a definition.

The dynasty is coming to an end and a new dynasty should be established. Destroying it and then rebuilding it is the best option now, and the process is destined to be full of hardships.

But there is only one owner of this land, and that is the descendants of Yan and Huang!

After listening to Yin Zhiping's words, Li Zhichang lowered his head in thought, and the fellow apprentices who were watching the conversation between the two also had different expressions.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's get some rest. Zhiye and Zhitong, you two will keep watch first, and we'll take turns every two hours."

This topic was a bit heavy, and Yin Zhiping didn't want to continue.

Before tonight, the brothers and sisters followed Yin Zhiping to Xiangyang, thinking that they were doing so to defend their country and for the millions of people behind them, which was not wrong.

But what they saw and heard in the past few days made them realize that even without the invasion of foreign races, the people were still living in dire straits.

The bottom line is that I walk too little.

Even if some of them had followed Qiu Chuji or the other Seven True Ones in the martial arts world, seeing the age and aura of Qiu Chuji and the others, as long as they had eyes, they would not provoke them and would definitely keep a distance from them.

Three waves of bandits in five days is really a bit too much.

They met many refugees along the way, and Li Zhichang and some of his disciples had already used up all the money in their pockets to buy dry food.

"Got it, Senior Brother!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

Wu Zhiye and Qian Zhitong nodded in agreement.

The others found a place to rest on their own. Yin Zhiping leaned against a tree and looked up at the starry sky. It was the first time for him to see the chaos of this era. It could only be said that it was beyond his imagination.

I had heard of the so-called cannibalism, eating tree roots, and gnawing tree bark, but had never seen them, and had no idea what they were.

Only after you have actually seen it, you will know that this is a world where people eat each other. The saying "when the country prospers, the people suffer, and when the country perishes, the people suffer" describes the current situation.

At this time, Yin Zhiping was very grateful to Qiu Chuji for saving him and accepting him as his disciple, which gave him a way to survive in this chaotic world.

As his thoughts wandered, a large dark cloud floated over and covered the crescent moon. As a breeze blew by, Yin Zhiping felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen tonight.

This feeling is hard to describe. I don’t know whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but it is definitely not peaceful tonight.

Yin Zhiping was not sleepy at all. He stood up and wanted to look around.

"Brother, don't you want to rest?"

Yin Zhiping's standing up attracted Li Zhichang's attention.

"You take a rest first, I'll take a look around."

The feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger, making me, who is in the innate realm, feel uneasy. If it is a natural disaster, there is nothing I can do and I can only try my best to protect myself. If it is a man-made disaster, then there are only two possibilities: an enemy in the innate realm, or a large army.

Now they are in the heart of the Central Plains, and it is impossible for a large number of troops to appear. Yin Zhiping guessed that the only possible enemies could be in the Xiantian realm.

Of course, it would be best if I felt wrong...

After walking around, Yin Zhiping didn't find anything wrong and confirmed that he and the twenty-one others were the only ones nearby.

Yin Zhiping thought he was thinking too much. When he was about to go back to rest, a strange sound suddenly rang out, as if someone was talking.

Chapter 6 Ouyang Feng recognizes his son

The sound moves from far to near.

Soon, Yin Zhiping heard the voice of "son, my son".

Looking in a certain direction, Yin Zhiping saw a figure walking upside down at an extremely fast speed, and it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Yin Zhiping, the man stopped, stood up straight, and approached Yin Zhiping, muttering: "Are you my son? You are not my son. Where is my son? I am the best in the world, I am the best in the world, I am the best in the world."

Looking at his crazy appearance and the innate aura that was condensed and not dissipated all over his body, Yin Zhiping already knew the man's identity. He just didn't expect to meet him in this wilderness. It was really an outrageous coincidence.

This man was none other than Ouyang Feng, the former Western Poison. He was framed by Huang Rong and practiced the Nine Yin Scriptures in reverse, which caused him to become insane and crazy all day long.

But his strength is truly powerful.

Ouyang Feng's arrival naturally woke up Li Zhichang who was resting and Wu Zhiye and Qian Zhitong who were on guard.

"Brother, this is..."

Li Zhichang looked at his senior brother in confusion. It seemed that this man was mentally ill.

"Who are you? Who is the best in the world?"

Yin Zhiping did not answer Li Zhichang, but asked Ouyang Feng.

The normal Ouyang Feng is troublesome, and the crazy Ouyang Feng is also troublesome. If you get entangled by him, I am afraid that the road ahead will be uneasy.

Even though Yin Zhiping was very confident in himself and felt that he was not much worse than Ouyang Feng, he still didn't want to take action if he could avoid it because there were so many junior brothers here.

"Who am I? I'm number one in the world. Who's number one? Yes, I'm number one in the world. Who's number one then?"

Yin Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief. Ouyang Feng was successfully confused, and he felt quite accomplished. Although it was a bit of taking advantage of the situation, it looked like he didn't need to take action today.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. No one can guess what is going on in the mind of a crazy person.

Ouyang Feng, who was in self-doubt, was still struggling with the question of who was the best in the world in the previous second. The next second, when he saw Yin Zhiping in white clothes, he threw this question behind his mind and held Yin Zhiping's hand tightly.

"Son, you are my son, you are Ke'er, you are Ke'er."

But it was Ouyang Ke who liked to wear white clothes, and Yin Zhiping also wore white clothes when he went down the mountain. In addition, Yin Zhiping's appearance and temperament were absolutely outstanding, so he was mistaken for Ouyang Ke.

Yin Zhiping looked at his grabbed hand, then at Ouyang Feng who was jumping and dancing around him. He had a thousand words in his heart that he couldn't express, but in the end, he could only sum it up in two words: "Fuck..."

It's no wonder that Yin Zhiping speaks so sweetly. His years of monastic life have helped him correct some of the "good habits" from his previous life. However, as the saying goes, it's hard to change one's nature, and he still can't help but blurt out the catchphrases he said casually in his previous life.

Li Zhichang and others didn't know what Yin Zhiping was talking about, but looking at the current situation, these people still couldn't figure out what had happened.

How come Senior Brother Yin found his father after going around in circles?

But didn’t they all die at the hands of robbers back then?

Also, what kind of grass is lying grass?

"Brother, this is your...father?"

Li Zhichang asked with a question mark on his face.

"What do you think? Don't you think he looks like someone?"

Yin Zhiping really wanted to give his junior fellow apprentice, Li Zhichang, a slap on the head. What was he thinking? How could he have such a good father? His late mother had never been a traitor.

"Brother, you are talking about... Ouyang Feng?"

Li Zhichang then realized that there was a person in the underworld who was very similar to him, just as crazy, claiming to be the best in the world, and also looking for a son.

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhichang and many of his fellow disciples took a step back, putting some distance between themselves and Ouyang Feng and Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping almost vomited blood when he saw his fellow apprentices taking a step back in unison.

He is really my good junior brother...

There was no way, Yin Zhiping nodded, confirming Li Zhichang's guess, and didn't want to say anything more.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The swords were unsheathed, and except for Yin Zhiping, twenty long swords were pointed at Ouyang Feng.

"Don't do anything yet, you are no match for me."

Although my junior brother's actions are out of concern for me, I also have to consider the strength of both sides.

These twenty of his junior fellow apprentices were no better than a dish of food in front of Ouyang Feng.

At least the food can fill my stomach...

Li Zhichang and others looked at Ouyang Feng nervously.

I didn't notice that Yin Zhiping said 'you' are not opponents.

"Senior Ouyang, I'm not your son. My name is Yin Zhiping, a disciple of Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect. You must have recognized the wrong person."

If it were someone else, Yin Zhiping would have taken action long ago.

Taoist sages once said: If someone provokes you, take him down first! ! !

But this is Ouyang Feng, and Yin Zhiping is not completely sure.

If he gets angry, he should be fine, but it's not certain about these junior brothers. Yin Zhiping is not sure if he can protect them.

"Impossible, you are my son, son. Daddy has worked so hard to find you. Don't worry, Daddy will take care of you in the future and will not let anyone bully you."

The crazy Ouyang Feng didn't believe it. He ignored the sword pointing at him and grabbed Yin Zhiping's hand tightly.
