Yang Zhi's 50th Return to Tianbo Prefecture

  At that time, Zhou Tong took the list given by Wu Song and went to Yun Cheng. He passed through Lu Zhou and met Liu Tang who was selling private salt. Then he met Ruan Brothers at Liangshan Lake on the banks of Yellow River and was overjoyed. He got off the boat and was introduced by the three brothers to meet Wu Yong, also known as Wisdom Star.

  When Zhou Tong saw Wu Yong, he felt that his complexion was somewhat unwell and was slightly surprised. Only because Wu Yong was indeed one of the 108 people, Zhou Tong did not think deeply about it and followed him to Dongxi Village, where he found Chai Ge and through Chai Ge met Lei Heng and Zhu Tong who were working in the county government, and found Bai Shouyue (White Mouse) at a gambling den. Zhou Tong was overjoyed: "Yuncheng is indeed full of talents, with more than ten Daoist friends reincarnated here, it can be said that the stars are gathered together, and the capable ones are assembled!"

  Among these people, Chai Ge is the oldest and was the first to arrive here. He is also the leader of the 108 demons and has the power to change fate. If he can be guided properly, he will inevitably usurp the Zhao family's throne and become the new emperor. Zhou Tong intentionally lets him complete his own plan, but he hasn't seen Song Jiang yet. Zhou Tong searches for the county town and hears that Song Jiang is working as a jailer in the government office, so he rushes there overnight.

  Song was sleeping, and was pulled out of bed by Zhou Dang, who knocked him unconscious, stripped him naked, and searched for the demonic tattoo on his back. After half a day's search, nothing was found, not even a scar on his body.

  "Zhōng Wǔ Sōng Nà Guī De Jì Le!"

  Translation: "The plan of Zhong Wu Song Na Gui has succeeded!"

  Zhou Tong suddenly came to his senses, hastily dropped Song Jiang and turned around to leave. As soon as he went out the door, he met Confucian saints Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, as well as the great master of the Yin-Yang school, Zhuangzi's disciple Huang Mo.

  Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao were the most favored disciples of Confucian sage Zhou Dunyi. After Zhou's ascension, they retreated to a secluded life, living next to Zhuangzi, the great master of the Yin-Yang school. Together, they explored the grand trends of the world. The three men foresaw that the 108 Demons would soon disrupt the Song Dynasty and that the scattered disciples of the military arts across the nation were growing restless, searching for them everywhere. Thus, the trio devised a plan to deceive heaven and switch flowers, aiming to claim the military's decades-long efforts as their own.

  Wu Yong is a disciple of Zhuo and Han Mo, after seeing Zhou Tong, he went back to report to his teacher, Zhuo and Han Mo immediately informed the Cheng brothers, the three set up an ambush, as soon as Zhou Tong walked into the formation laid down by Zhuo and Han Mo, the three launched an attack, determined to kill this military giant in one fell swoop!

  Unexpectedly, Zhou Tong had already taken precautions. He was beaten and broke one leg, fractured five or six ribs, forcibly broke free from the formation's restraints, immediately mounted his immortal soldiers, and flew away in escape.

  Zhuang Hanmo chased after him, but was intercepted by Zhou Tong, who turned around and slashed his face. The two great saints of the Cheng family were ambushed in mid-air, and Zhou Tong fought to kill Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi took advantage of the opportunity to severely injure him, but was then stabbed in the heart meridian by Zhou Tong.

  At that time, four of the Lu Xing Xian who had refined the Golden Elixir, the world's top figures, died one and were seriously injured three. Zhou Dang risked his life to escape and returned to the capital to seek help from the Yang family. Although Yang Jiuniang lent a helping hand, his cultivation was only half left.

  Zhou Tong held up the teacup, staring at Wu Song: "Was it you who did this? If you admit it, I'll crush you to death right now! Don't look down on me just because my cultivation is only half of what it used to be... crushing you a hundred times over wouldn't be a problem..."

  Wu Song stood up, pinched his left leg and made Zhou Tong's face turn green with pain. Wu Song said: "I've told you, I can now beat the two of you by myself. Old thief Zhou, the matter about Song Jiang was originally a misunderstanding, I didn't know anything about it, but your framing me, that wasn't a misunderstanding!"

  Zhou Tong hummed and said, "Since this matter is already in the past, don't blame me for harming you before. I still have one more thing to entrust to you, if you can accomplish it, the remaining 107 volumes of the Heavenly Treasure Scripture will all be given to you."

  Wu Song's heart was stirred, and he said, "What's going on?" The two Heavenly Treasure Scriptures were enough to bring him to his current level of achievement. If he practiced all 108 scriptures together, he would be able to summon the heavenly stars and constellations, and his cultivation would increase at a speed almost 108 times faster. Just thinking about it made Wu Song excited and trembling with anticipation.

  Zhou Tong thought for a moment, then said: "It's no use trying to save Chao Gai. Even if he is the reincarnation of the true dragon, once he falls into the hands of Zhuangzi and Cheng Yi, they will eventually drain his true dragon energy away. Chao Gai will die at Song Jiang's hands sooner or later. So, I want you to replace Chao Gai, rally all the remaining 106 people under your command, get rid of Song Jiang, and prevent that Confucian villain from succeeding! If you accomplish this, I'll give you the other Heavenly Treasure Scripture."

  Wu Song sneered: "What about after I get rid of Song Jiang?"

  Zhou Tong's eyes widened in confusion and he asked: "What happens after?"

  Wu Song angrily said: "Old thief, stop pretending! Last time you gave me a copy of the 'Tou Tian Bao Zhao Jing', but didn't say 'afterwards', and yet I still found out all sorts of flaws?"

  "You've become clever!" Zhou Tong chuckled dryly, then was pinched on the thigh by Wu Song and let out a loud yelp. Only to hear Wu Song coldly laugh: "Is it not that afterwards you'll raise the great banner of justice, launch an uprising, occupy Liangshan Marsh, wait for the Emperor's amnesty, and then your family can smoothly enter the imperial court?"

  Zhou Tong shook his head, coldly laughing: "I thought you had made progress, but it turns out you're still so short-sighted! What's the point of occupying Liangshan Water Margin? If we want to occupy, we should naturally go and occupy the dragon veins of the world!"

  The dragon vein of the Great Song, one divides into five, one falls into Anhui, and one falls into Zhejiang. If a rebellion is to be launched, the best way is to immediately attack Anhui and Zhejiang, occupy the two major dragon veins, and at this time, there will be the ability to rival the Song court in terms of national fortune. If you can obtain these two places, you will have 400 years of national fortune. If you can occupy Mongolia and Heilongjiang, you will have 800 years of national fortune. Even if it's the Zhou Dynasty, it won't surpass you!

  Wu Song took a deep breath, and suddenly understood what Fang Zhen wanted to do. The reason why the fierce fire Mingzun Fang Zhen went to find Bao Daoyi of the Yin Yang Gate was precisely to ask him to calculate the location where the dragon pulse would fall, and then start an uprising and occupy the dragon pulse.

  Historically, the Fang La Uprising occupied Anhui and Zhejiang!

  Wu Song now clearly knows the specific landing points of these two dragon veins, one is Lin'an, Zhejiang, and the other is Fengyang, Anhui, which is now known as Bozhou!

  He was moved in his heart and hastily said: "If someone occupies these two places, how can we break through?"

  Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Moved? To break the two dragon veins of a country's luck, only Golden Elixir stage or higher cultivators can be used. With 100 people, they can move the dragon veins. If you want to break the dragon veins, there is another way, that is, use extremely ferocious and fierce monsters to suppress the country's luck. However, all of you 108 people are extremely ferocious and powerful demons. In your heyday, I'm afraid only gods could subdue you, who else could be more ferocious than you?"

  Wu Song suddenly remembered something and his whole body was covered in cold sweat, his mind buzzing with confusion.

  The Song Dynasty used who to get rid of Fang La? It was the 108 heroes of Liangshan! I suppose it was those high-ranking Confucians and Yin-Yang masters who saw that Fang La's national fortune was flourishing, so they surrendered these 108 demon kings and used their ferocity to suppress the two dragon veins' national fortune.

  No wonder one hundred and eight generals went on a punitive expedition against Fang Zhen, only twenty-seven people were left in the end!

  "So many cunning old guys, always calculating the 108 good men of Liangshan, everywhere is a killing machine, everywhere is a dangerous place... This water is really too deep, if I wade in, I'll definitely drown! It's better to be content with being a rich man, honestly flattering Emperor Huizong, supporting the Dragon Throne is important, with my small brain, how can I outsmart them?"

  Wu Song wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, grabbed Chen Liqing and turned to leave, saying: "Master Zhou, take good care of your injuries, I'll come visit you again in 50 years." Zhou Dang shouted from behind: "Don't go, I haven't finished speaking!"

  Wu Song took a few steps into the courtyard, and saw that the elegant and refined woman had her hands clasped together, with the hem of her light green skirt trailing on the ground. She was standing in front of a weapons rack, gazing at the arms on it, her eyes filled with desolation. Wu Song hastily said: "Ninth Aunt, I'll take my leave first, and come back to see you another day!"

  The woman turned around, smiled lightly and softly, and invited: "Don't sit for a while longer?"

  "No, I have a two-year-old child at home who is still being breastfed, and an 80-year-old blind mother. If I don't go back, the whole family will starve to death! Ninth Aunt, if I were alone, I would definitely give my life to Master Zhou, but what about my family? If I go, they will all die. Please advise Master Zhou not to look for me again."

  The woman was surprised and said: "You're married? Where's your wife?"

  "The child is gone, poor thing!" Wu Song pulled out Chen Liqing as a shield and said: "This is my family's..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Tong poked his head out from the house, supporting himself with both arms, and angrily shouted: "Ninth sister, don't listen to his nonsense! This little scoundrel just doesn't want me to find him! You can rest assured, I won't be staying here anymore. I'll move to Tianji Pavilion right away and see if he can hide from me!"

  The woman covered her mouth and giggled uncontrollably, like a gentle breeze blowing through the pear blossoms, her slender body trembling with laughter, leaving Wu Song stunned. Zhou Tong saw this and hummed, calling over the steward to have him carried away in a sedan chair to the Tianji Pavilion. Wu Song had no choice but to pick up Chen Liying and leave the Yang residence. As soon as they exited the gate, a figure flashed before his eyes, and a man with a pale face appeared silently in front of him, holding a precious sword in his arms.

  Wu Song hastily covered the little girl's eyes and said discontentedly: "Yang Zhi, brother, don't be so mysterious and frightening, you're scaring the child!"

  "I want to be an official." Yang Zhi said with a knife in his arms and a serious face.

  Ambitious.

  "I want to be a high-ranking official, even higher than my grandfather." Yang Zhi's face became even more gloomy.

  Wu Song said dazedly: "What does this have to do with me?"

  "Eldest Auntie said, following you can become a very high-ranking official, therefore..."
