78 episodes of The Tinker Bell

  This Jiu Yang Shen Zhong is extremely mysterious, no matter if it's a human or an animal, touching it will cause instant death from burns. It also cannot be seen with metal, and any metal that comes into contact with it will be melted. However, if something like a rope or a wooden stick is used to touch it, there will be no harm.

  Wu Song ordered someone to push a captive forward, throwing him onto the Nine Yang Divine Bell. Before he could even let out a blood-curdling scream, he was burnt into a piece of black charcoal!

  Many scholars sighed and said: "The punishment of King Zhou of Shang's burning with a hot iron is no more than this."

  Wu Song ordered people to use ropes to tie up Zhongyuan, then seven or eight men used a large wooden pole to carry him, sending him to the government office in Jinan, where he was placed in the courtyard. The many Taoist priests still surrounded and watched, not daring to touch or feel, until nightfall, when they dispersed.

  The next morning, they came to watch again. Wu Song was furious and ordered the big bell to be smashed, but instead, several strong men in the army were killed by the shock. The Tianji Pavilion masters saw Guoshi get angry and reluctantly dispersed. Yang Jiaolong sneaked over and said, "Wu brothers, our family practices pure yin true energy, can't help but touch it."

  Wu Song was both angry and amused, saying: "Then you can try to touch it. If you can lift it, this Jiu Yang Shen Zhong will be yours." The manager hesitated for half a day, but ultimately did not dare to touch it, and left in tears.

  Wu Song and the others dispersed, staring blankly at the Nine Yang Divine Bell. After a while, he stretched out his hand towards the large bronze bell, but before touching its surface, he withdrew it again. This Nine Yang Divine Bell not only had an immense attraction to those Taoist priests, but for Wu Song, it was also a fatal temptation.

  Apart from Zhou Tong's dagger and Zhuang Huamei's umbrella, this large bell was the first orthodox magical treasure he had ever seen, and it was so close to him, yet he couldn't touch it, which was really frustrating!

  Wu Song repeatedly hesitated, but ultimately didn't dare to touch the bell, and angrily stormed off. He came into the room, poured himself a pot of tea, and only then calmed down. He began to use the Yin-Yang family's divination technique to calculate the possibility of him not dying after obtaining the Jiu Yang Divine Bell.

  After deliberating for a long time, Wu Song suddenly discovered that his chances of dying after touching the Jiuyang Divine Bell were actually zero!

  Not only himself, but even Gong Xun Yanran and Gong Xun Pan, after touching the Nine Yang Divine Bell, would absolutely not be burned to death.

  The key to the survival of these three people is the Eight Meridian Sealing God that has taken hold in their bodies. Those who have been branded with the Eight Meridian Sealing God's seal will have empty meridians, devoid of even a single thread of true energy; even the fundamental yuanqi of humanity can be forcibly drawn into the dantian, wasting away one's lifespan.

  The Jiuyang Divine Bell is a purely Yang object, and touching its body will cause the pure Yang energy to invade the entire body, leading to an unprecedented expansion of the pure Yang energy, ultimately resulting in death. As for magical instruments that come into contact with the Jiuyang Divine Bell, they often become infused with pure Yang energy and then self-destruct through melting.

  However, with the Eight Pulse Seal of God in place, the pure yang energy transmitted from the bell to the human body would be immediately absorbed into the dantian and sealed inside, unable to take effect. Therefore, Wu Song used his Pushing Hands technique to push out a scene full of life and vitality, rather than one that was dull and lifeless.

  Wu Song hesitated for a moment, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out to the Nine Yang Divine Bell. As soon as he touched it, a surge of hot air rushed into his arm, and Wu Song felt as if his entire arm had been scalded by boiling oil. His skin turned red instantly, as if it would ignite at any moment.

  The Eight Trigrams Seal of the Gods immediately took effect, drawing in this pure yang energy into the dantian, and the heat instantly subsided.

  A surge of pure yang energy poured in, opening a channel between the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Dan Tian. Wu Song's heart stirred, and he hastily activated his self-created technique. True Qi surged within him, flowing out of the Dan Tian through that channel, and double pupils slowly emerged in his eyes.

  His other thumb pinched, the other four fingers fluttered like a phantom, non-stop, and his thumb pinched continuously, calculating the possibility of using this yang energy to break through the Eight Pulse Seal God!

  Wu Song had just reached the crucial point when Gong Sun's daughter suddenly let out a startled cry from beside him, and then he saw that she had picked up a water-fire poker from somewhere and was using all her might to pry his hand off the bell.

  Wu Song has finished his calculations, but even with the power of the Nine Yang Divine Bell, he is still unable to break through the Eight Trigrams Seal. His heart feels slightly dim, and all he can do is extend his own lifespan by a few years.

  He bent his finger and flicked the water fire stick out of Gong Shuyan's hand, gently pulled her hand, and smiled: "Close your eyes and feel it."

  Gong Xian's face turned red as she listened to the words, her heart racing like a deer, and she lowered her head to draw circles on the ground with her toes. Her voice was barely audible, "What...?" At this moment, a surge of heat flowed from Wu Song's palm into her body, only to be absorbed by the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique in an instant. Another gentle energy followed, flowing along the heat and pouring into her Dantian, pulling out her primordial Qi from her Dantian with great force.

  Gong Xian suddenly realized that she had misunderstood, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, with a mix of joy and loss in her heart. She closed her eyes to feel the vital energy being pulled out of her dantian by Wu Song. The two people's vital energy merged together like milk and water, their whole body warm and cozy, extremely comfortable. For a moment, the two stood hand in hand beside the Jiuyang Divine Bell, as if they were both enchanted.

  "Wait until we absorb the pure Yang energy from the Jiuyang Shen Zhong, although it won't break the Eight Pulse Seal God, but it can also increase our lifespan by a few years."

  Gong Shu Yanran was originally quiet in the midst of that joyful and harmonious atmosphere, but upon hearing these words, she suddenly came to her senses, hastily struggled free from his grasp, her face complex, and softly said: "How could you possibly have the Eight Pulse Seal God within your body? Could it be that...?"

  Wu Song put down the hand that was supporting the bronze bell and smiled, saying: "If one doesn't cultivate the Eight Trigrams Seal of the Gods, how can they possibly touch the Nine Yang Divine Bell? I specifically cultivated the Eight Trigrams Seal of the Gods in order to obtain this bell..."

  "Don't say anything more, I understand..."

  Gong Xian leaned gently against his chest, softly saying: "Don't move, let me lean for a while, just for a moment..." The girl leaned against his chest, and before long, Wu Song felt the front of his shirt getting wet, the girl in his arms was crying.

  That peacock flew from who-knows-where and landed on the Jiuyang Divine Bell, tilting its small head to look at the two of them. It chirped twice, but was invaded by the pure yang energy within the bell, causing its entire body to erupt in a fierce blaze of flames.

  The kingfisher was leisurely spitting out small flames, turned its head to tidy up its feathers, and called out to the two people again.

  Wu Song looked up and saw that the Nine Yang Divine Bell was constantly shrinking, gradually turning into a small bell, only the size of a thumb. The parrot picked up the Nine Yang Divine Bell and flew back and forth, ringing out clearly.

  "This little thing, what breed is it? Even the Nine Yang Divine Bell can't burn it to death?"

  At this time, hundreds of miles away from Jinan City, Chen Xizhen had already received a message from Gou Ying, the true person who bound evil, and learned that Jinan City had fallen. At first, he was silent for a moment, but when he saw that the Jiuyang Divine Bell had also fallen into the hands of the martial bandits, he couldn't help but laugh loudly towards the sky, showing the message to everyone, saying: "The martial bandits have finally seized the Jiuyang Divine Bell!"

  The leaders were stunned, and the treasure was stolen. What's there to be happy about? Song Jiang even thought of touching his forehead to see if he had a fever that had gone to his head. Chen Hui Zhen laughed: "The Nine Yang Divine Bell is a purely yang treasure, extremely hard and yang. If one doesn't know the Dragon Tiger Mountain skills, they'll die as soon as they touch it. The bandits and their masters who coveted my bell must have suffered heavy casualties! Now I can kill the bandit leader without losing a single soldier or horse, and if he dies, the world will be at peace. We can then expand our territory and wait for the Emperor's amnesty!"

  Song Jiang heard this and was also overjoyed in his heart, secretly thinking: "If the Emperor can issue an edict to grant amnesty early, it would be perfect for me to fulfill my lifelong wish, spread the teachings of Confucius throughout the country, and make them shine brightly!" He then wrote a poem called "Man Jiang Hong" and ordered Tie Zhonger to sing and play it.

  Only music and singing: "...Tame tigers and leopards, control the borders; clear commands, military might is solemn. The central government wishes to pacify the rebels, protect the people and secure the country. Every day and month, loyal and brave hearts are suspended, blocking the eyes of treacherous villains. Looking forward to the heavenly king's early decree to recruit and pacify, my heart will be satisfied!"

  Song Jiang and Chen Xiuzhen clapped their hands and laughed loudly, singing in unison: "The sun and moon always hang the gallbladder of loyalty and bravery, the wind and dust block the eyes of treachery. Looking forward to the heavenly king's early amnesty, my heart is satisfied, my heart is satisfied!" The two looked at each other, extremely happy, and all their previous unhappiness was swept away.

  The leaders of Qingyun Mountain were all stunned after hearing the song, secretly thinking that the two leaders had somehow shifted to surrender. After finishing the song, Chen Xizhen ordered the scout to go down the mountain and gather information about the situation in Jinan City, to see if Wu Ze had died or not.

  Liu Huiniang, however, grabbed the messenger and asked him repeatedly. Upon hearing that Wu Song had used a wooden raft to break through the sinking spiral boat, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "This kind of clumsy yet effective method is only suitable for use in shallow water. If it were at sea, how would he be able to break through the sinking spiral boat? Therefore, my Mo family's secret techniques have not been broken after all. Gong Sun and Wu Zong joining forces are nothing more than this."

  She was originally worried that Gong Shu's people were better at the agency's tactics than she was, but now she finally put her mind at ease.

  Those scouts had just arrived at Jinan City and were all caught by Lu Da. Li Kui saw that he was catching one after another, and hurriedly asked why. Lu Da smiled and said: "Now the soldiers are in chaos, it's good for the people of Jinan City not to escape outside, where can they find someone who would risk their lives to come into the city? These scouts claimed to be visiting relatives, but they were actually carrying lanterns to the toilet, looking for death!"

  Li Kui sighed in admiration.

  Among them, there was a scout who escaped from Luda's law enforcement. It turned out that the scout himself was a vagrant in Jinan City. When the bandits of Qingyun Mountain broke in, he fell into the grass and was not known to anyone. Luda saw someone who could testify for him, so he let this vagrant go.

  This broken-down household thought that without having inquired about any useful news, they couldn't go back and settle accounts. On this day, while wandering around the streets, they saw a fleet of grain ships coming from the famous Beijing government offices, continuously transporting goods from the Yellow River into the city.

  This Beijing Daming Prefecture is not the Beijing city of later generations, but the Anti-Liao Great Base Camp in the north of Jinan, which is not far away, and the gathering place for military rations and equipment throughout the Northern Song Dynasty.

  The Beijing city of later generations was in the territory of Liao State, called Yanjing, also known as Jicheng.

  That dilapidated house stood by the river and watched, only to see the riverbank crowded with soldiers, a dozen or so ropes thrown over, pulling the large ship to the shore, setting up a floating bridge, moving non-stop.

  After a while, Wu Zei and a girl came out of the Jinan Prefecture Government Office, holding hands on the bridge, directing the boatmen to transport grain and grass onto the ship. On the girl's shoulder stood a parrot, with a small copper bell hanging from its neck, ringing ding-dong.

  That broken house eye sharp, glanced at the kingfisher's neck bell vaguely is the shape of the Jiuyang Shen Bell, suddenly took a fright, and hurriedly quietly left Jinan Prefecture, galloped back to Qingyun Mountain, reported to Chen Xizhen, the big leader.

  Chen Xizhen listened, suddenly remembering that she had seen the emerald bird in Longmai before, and was speechless for a moment. She said, "Wu Zei's good luck is really impressive, he even managed to deceive that little beast out of Longmai..."

  The Jiuyang Divine Bell fell into the enemy's hands, and Wu Zhi did not die, which was beyond Chen Hui's expectation. However, the Jiuyang Divine Bell could not be used without the Taoist methods of Longhu Mountain. He didn't take it to heart and sent troops to investigate Wu Zhi's movements again. After more than ten days, the scouts returned to report: "Wu Zhi's army is divided into three routes. One route starts from Jinan City, led by Lu Junyi and Yang Jie, attacking Yunmen Mountain. Another route starts from Yanzhou City, led by Gao Lian and Zhang Shuye, father and son, attacking Wulian Mountain. There is also a route where Wu Zhi personally leads the army from the Yellow River to the Bohai Sea."

  Chen Xizhen summoned Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Xu Huai and others to discuss the matter. He said: "The large armies of Lu Junyi and Yang Jier are not worth worrying about, but the bandit Wu is heading towards Bohai Sea, which cannot be ignored. Can all the leaders guess where Wu is going?"

  Wu Yong fanned himself with his feather fan, and smiled: "In my opinion, the bandits are sure to want to go around Shandong from Bohai and enter Huang Hai, attacking Laoshan, making us surrounded by enemies on all sides, unable to respond. Why not set up an ambush at Laoshan, wait for the bandits to land, and then make a surprise attack, wiping out this evil creature!"

  Xu Huai had the sand table brought over and carefully examined the map of Shandong's terrain. Indeed, as Wu Yong had said, after a moment's thought, he said: "There is just one thing, the bandits may not necessarily land at Laoshan, they can land anywhere in Dengzhou. This is the most troublesome place, it's impossible to defend against!"

  Liu Hui Niang suddenly spoke up, "Why must we wait for the pirates to land before ambushing them? Can't we launch a surprise underwater attack at sea? Use the sinking ships to capsize the pirate's large vessel, and wouldn't that prevent them from escaping?"

  The various leaders looked at each other, and in unison laughed: "Our vision is indeed too narrow, and we didn't even notice the battlefield on the sea! Liu leader's criticism is now, it's only suitable to block those two troops first, order the craftsmen to immediately build 200 underwater boats, ambush the Wu bandits at sea, and let them have no way to go to heaven or earth!"
