Chapter 2541 2543 [Night Attack on Nanyang]
"Yang Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I don't know how far your martial arts has risen." Huang Yaoshi said to Xiang Nan with a smile.
"I'm still comprehending [Heaven and Man], but I haven't made much progress." Xiang Nan explained.
The so-called "Heaven and Man Harmony", according to the Taoist inner alchemy theory, is to combine the boundless vitality with the limited body, form the Nascent Soul, attune the Yang God, and then refine the spirit to return the emptiness, and combine the truth with the Tao, and combine with the Tao. The way of natural inaction, the way of unity, is the most ultimate [the unity of man and nature].
But Xiang Nan has been enlightened and practiced Zen for so many years. Although his inner strength has become more and more refined and his temperament has become more simple, he still can't return to his true nature and become a Nascent Soul. At most, he has good looks, he is nearly fifty years old, and he is still like a young man in his twenties and thirties.
"Are you really planning to live forever and become an immortal?" Huang Yaoshi said in surprise, "However, after so many years, you are still youthful, and you really have the skills to retain your beauty."
"Brother Yang, don't bother, there is no such thing as rejuvenation and immortality in this world." Zhou Botong persuaded, "It's better to learn from my old urchin, eat and drink every day, play and have fun, and be happy. Wouldn't it be a good thing."
"Master's uncle has a brilliant nature, he doesn't worry about everything, he is as pure as a child, which is indeed enviable." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "However, as far as I know, it is not impossible to rejuvenate.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a martial art in the Misty Peak of Lingjiu Mountain, a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect. And every day of practice, one year's skill will be restored, and the person will grow one year older, until finally full power is restored. "
When everyone heard it, they were all amazed. They believed in Xiang Nan's character and would never talk nonsense. Therefore, it is amazing that there really is martial arts that can rejuvenate one's youth in this world.
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was indeed a Vulture Palace in Misty Mountain. The 14th head of our Beggar Clan went to the Vulture Palace to learn [Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms] and [Dog Beating Stick Technique]." Hong Qigong nodded, " At that time, the leader of my Beggar Clan, Joe, died unfortunately in his middle age. Before he died, he passed on the two martial arts to Xu Zhuzi, the master of the Vulture Palace, his righteous brother, and he passed them on to the disciples of the Beggar Clan.
It is heard that Xu Zhuzi's martial arts are extremely high, and he learned both of them in just one night. In terms of aptitude, it is indeed much better than my old beggar. "
Everyone saw that Hong Qigong admitted that there was something wrong, and couldn't help but become more and more fascinated by the Vulture Palace.
…
After the commando team was formed, Xiang Nan took them out of the city to meet the enemy.
In fact, martial arts masters are very suitable for special forces, performing tasks such as infiltration, harassment, sabotage, and beheading.
Although the Mongolian army camp was heavily guarded, for masters like Xiang Nan, Huang Yaoshi, and Hong Qigong, it was like entering an uninhabited land, and it was impossible to defend against it.
Sure enough, the commandos were extraordinary as soon as they made a move. They successively wiped out several vanguard troops shot by Mongolia, killed and wounded nearly a thousand people, and captured a large number of horses and weapons.
In particular, they also found out that this time Mongolia’s grain and grass were hoarded in Nanyang City, and they deployed heavy troops to defend, so as not to repeat the same mistakes as last time.
In addition, the Mongolian army also stored hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder in Nanyang City. When the time comes to attack the city with artillery, even if the gate of Xiangyang city is made of black iron, it will not escape the fate of being blasted open.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder are amazingly powerful. Once used in Xiangyang City, the entire city may be blown up, so it must not be allowed to exist in the world.
"Let's divide into two teams, one to burn gunpowder, the other to burn food and grass, and work together, lest the Mongolian army take precautions." Xiang Nan suggested to everyone.
Everyone nodded, and then sneaked into Nanyang City together.
At this time, there are no civilians in Nanyang City, and it has been completely reduced to a military station. Therefore, except for the Mongolian army, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy, so as to avoid being infiltrated and harassed as much as possible.
After infiltrating, the soldiers split into two groups.
Xiang Nan went to burn the gunpowder by himself, while Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong and others went to burn the grain and grass.
Because the gunpowder explodes at a single touch, the involvement is extremely wide, and there is no need to ignite it everywhere, so it only needs one person to go.
But to burn food, you must ignite it everywhere. The more ignition points, the more severe the burn. Moreover, the large number of people can resist the Mongolian army who came to fight the fire, so that the food and grass will be burned more thoroughly.
Xiang Nan then rushed to the north of the city, where the gunpowder was stored in the cave in the north of the city.
And Huang Yaoshi and others also went to the south of the city, and the food and grass were produced in the open-air military field over there.
…
Xiang Nan drove all the way to the north of the city.
I saw that the road was really heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling, and guards in the open and in the dark, almost comparable to the defense of the palace.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan's qinggong is excellent, and his figure is erratic. Under the night, it is like a puff of green smoke, easily bypassing all checkpoints and entering the gunpowder depot in the north of the city.
The defense in front of the gunpowder magazine is even tighter. There is an army of thousands of people on the periphery, with bright helmets and armor, and spears and halberds like a forest, surrounding the gunpowder depot like an iron barrel.
Further inside, there are hundreds of sharpshooters, all with strong bows and crossbows, with sharp eyes. Whoever dares to trespass will be shot as a hedgehog immediately.
The third circle is the final barrier composed of thirty foreign monks. They sat cross-legged in front of the powder magazine, blocking the door so tightly that anyone who wanted to enter had to pass through them.
Xiang Nan saw that each of them had a slightly sunken forehead and a long breath, so he knew that they were all masters. Although it is not as good as Jinlun Fawang, the thirty people together are not to be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, Mongolia has recruited so many experts in just a few years, which shows that its national fortune is indeed strong.
With so many masters together, it is not easy for Xiang Nan to break through.
Because even if he could kill the thirty foreign monks, it would take a lot of effort. And as long as the fan monk shouted loudly, someone would come to support him immediately.
At that time, in the face of hundreds of sharpshooters and thousands of elite soldiers, no matter how good Xiang Nan's martial arts is, he will be on the spot.
Fortunately, these are monks who like to meditate with their legs crossed, so Xiang Nanke took advantage of this opportunity.
He then stalked, like a puff of smoke, and came to the gunpowder magazine without a sound.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan practiced his profound kung fu silently, using the Wuxiang Jiezhi, and silently tapped thirty foreign monks on the acupoints one by one.
His internal strength is extremely high now, Wuxiang Jiezhi's distance is about four feet away, standing at the eaves, he just hits them one by one.
Moreover, Wuxiangjie pointed out that there is no sound and no form, even if it is a person at the Wujue level, if you are not careful, you will inevitably be tricked. What's more, these foreign monks are only first-class masters, they are still far from the five masters, and there is no way to guard against them.
In addition, they are Buddhist monks, and they all like to sit cross-legged in meditation, so even if their acupoints are tapped, they won't be able to tell. If it were an ordinary expert who liked to walk and talk, once he was clicked, he would be noticed immediately, Xiang Nan would be in trouble.
Actually, Meng Ge recruited a group of martial arts masters in the Central Plains, but he didn't trust them, he only trusted these monks from the Western Regions, so he gave Xiang Nan the opportunity to exploit loopholes.
