Chapter 126 Myths and Legends South Lin'an

"That's right, Yin Zhenren stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the 100,000 Mongolian troops siege below. Seeing that the Mongolian commander Kublai Khan was extremely vicious, he was a monster reincarnated. He shouted "Qi" at that time, and pinched a sword technique to look at Kublai Khan with a finger. A dragon roar sounded behind him. The silver dragon sword he carried on his back was deshelfed out, turned into a silver light, and shot towards Kublai Khan."

"The silver light was as fast as lightning, how could Kublai Khan avoid it? He saw the silver light in his eyes, and the silver light had already shot in front of him. As soon as he shone around his neck, a head was cut off. Yin Zhenren stretched out his hand and pointed it again, and the silver dragon sword inserted into Kublai Khan's head and flew back..."

Yang Guo said with a gaze, while reaching out to gesture, learning well. Yin Zhiping couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

It turned out that Yin Zhiping's assassination of Kublai Khan was passed down by the people in Xiangyang City, but it became more and more distorted and exaggerated. By now, it has become a myth and legendary story, and has been compiled into story books. Now, in the restaurants and tea shops on the streets, the storyteller tells the most is "Yin Zhenren's Flying Sword Killing the Enemy Chief". In this story, he has become a top-notch figure in the sword immortal. I don't know who passed the name of his silver dragon sword, and people know it and come to the story.

Storytellers love to listen to others, and have developed an upgraded and expanded version. Now they have started to develop from a single plot story to a multi-plot chapter. Storytellers have begun to arrange his origins, saying that he was the reincarnation of Lu Dongbin, the head of the Eight Immortals in Shangdong. He was born with a strange phenomenon, and then a series of stories that began since childhood.

Yang Guo has a very good memory. After listening to it several times in the restaurant, he remembered it, but now he is learning to imitate him in front of Yin Zhiping.

After hearing this story, Yin Zhiping only sighed that the storyteller who made up this story had a rich imagination and put it in the world of his previous life. He was definitely a famous novelist. In fact, it is not difficult for him to understand that this misinterpretation of real events has made it mythological. The literacy rate of ancient people was generally not high, especially those of the lower class, who rarely knew literacy. If you want to spread and record something, you can only rely on word of mouth. However, word of mouth is not as good as text records, and it is spread around. In addition, some personal understanding and emotional nature, if you don’t have enough, the spread becomes more and more distorted, and it is getting farther and farther away from the real events.

Moreover, for such heroes who saved them, the people always unconsciously exaggerated their abilities. The more they exaggerated, the bigger they became, and in the end they became mythological. Many ancient mythological stories developed and passed down in this way.

In fact, the people may not be all ignorant and believe in all the stories told by Storyteller. On the day when Yin Zhiping assassinated Kublai Khan, there were many people who helped transport supplies at the head of Xiangyang City and carried the wounded men to help guard the city walls. Although they did not see the specific details of Yin Zhiping assassinated Kublai Khan, most people saw the scene of Yin Zhiping using his light skills to jump across the moat. In their eyes, this martial arts was already magical, but it was not as exaggerated as Yin Zhiping could fly a sword to seize the head of the enemy's neck a hundred miles away. This was a completely immortal method.

However, although many people may not take this story seriously, they are still very happy to listen to it. Every time they hear it, they always applaud. First, the fact that the head coach of the Mongolian Tartars was killed is a matter of relieving hatred is endless; second, there is too few entertainment activities in this era. Since the storyteller tells the stories of heroes that everyone loves, he naturally has to listen to it.

The so-called market determines demand. Since some people like to listen, the storyteller will naturally arrange the story as it is arranged by everyone. The original storyteller is too short. If you tell too much, the storyteller is afraid that the guests will get tired of it, so he began to focus on this storyline. It expanded and developed, and arranged the life of Yin Zhiping.

※※※

It has been more than half a month since Yin Zhiping assassinated Kublai Khan that day and the Mongolian army retreated from Xiangyang. At his threat and request, the memorial of the victory he wrote had already been sent to Lin'an Prefecture, the capital's Lin'an Prefecture. There was also Kublai Khan's head, who also used lime to bring people to Lin'an as a practical evidence of this great achievement, so as not to say that he falsely reported it.

Three days ago, the emperor's imperial letters finally sent back. The emperor's commendation and imperial edicts were also given to the emperor's commendation and materials for the Xiangyang defenders, gold, silver, silk, and wine. In addition to commendation and encouragement of Lu Wende and the Xiangyang defenders, local governments in the war and defeat of the Mongolian city in Xiangyang, they also expressed high recognition and appreciation for the righteousness of the rebel army composed of martial arts people led by Yin Zhiping and Guo Jing who came to help defend. Among the reward materials for Xiangyang, they also had their share.

In addition, the imperial edict also required Lu Wende to come to the capital to meet the saint, and then he would be rewarded. The emperor was also very interested in Yin Zhiping, who could assassinate the Mongolian commander Kublai Khan in an army of 100,000, and specifically asked Yin Zhiping to come to the capital to meet the saint with Lu Wende, and there would be rewards for him.

Yin Zhiping was alone and had already packed his luggage. Now he was waiting for Lu Wende to handle some of his things and arrange what he had left Xiangyang, so he followed him to Lin'an to meet the saint. However, knowing that his master was going to meet the saint in Lin'an, Yang Guo also wanted to follow him and have a long experience.

Yang Guo was going to go, but Guo Fu also begged her parents to go with her. Although she said she wanted to have a better understanding of her, she actually didn't want to separate from Yang Guo. After the two got married, although they could not help but argue and quarrel, Yang Guo's clever character naturally often made Guo Fu happy and obeyed, making Guo Fu love him.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong could not stand Guo Fu's annoyance and begging, and thought that there would be no problem with Yin Zhiping, so they nodded and agreed. Yang Guo also begged Yin Zhiping for Guo Fu. Although Yin Zhiping didn't like Guo Fu very much, he nodded and agreed for the sake of Guo Jing, Huang Rongfu and Yang Guo's face. However, Yin Zhiping was too lazy to take care of Guo Fu, and only told Yang Guo to take good care of Guo Fu all the way, so as not to cause trouble for him.

The person Yin Zhiping wanted to take to Lin'an with the most was actually Li Mochou, but he had no reason or excuse to bring Li Mochou with him. After Yin Zhiping discussed with Li Mochou privately, he had no choice but to let Li Mochou go on a different journey and go to Lin'an alone, and then the two of them met in Lin'an again.

However, Li Mochou's trip to Lin'an was not easy to express it to others so as not to connect with those who were interested. Therefore, the excuse for the outside world was that of Xiangyang, and she wanted to return to the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain to practice. Yesterday, she had already said goodbye to everyone and left Xiangyang alone. However, shortly after she left Xiangyang, she immediately disguised herself and turned north and headed south, and went to Lin'an early.

When Yin Zhiping went to Lin'an, in addition to bringing Yang Guo and Guo Fu, he and Bai Yuchan sent people to stay by his side, including his junior brother Li Zhichang, would also walk south with him.

This time when I went south to Lin'an, in addition to visiting the saints in Beijing, Yin Zhiping would also go over to help Bai Yuchan be responsible for the preaching of Quanzhen Sect and the expansion of Taoist temples in the south.

This was originally one of the two important tasks he had to leave Zhongnan Mountain this time. Now that the war in Xiangyang has been over, at present, Mongolia will not be able to organize a large-scale attack on Xiangyang in the short term. Therefore, his current focus will be shifted to the south to preach, helping Bai Yuchan expand the original Taoist temple of the Tiantai Sect and further deepen the merger of the two factions.

He had previously threatened Lv Wende not to take credit for his merits and to truthfully write his contribution to assassination of Kublai Khan into the memorial for victory, which was to plan ahead for this matter. With his legendary great achievements, he was 80% sure that he would be interested in the current emperor. If he could attract the emperor's attention and interest, he would naturally enter the sight of the high-ranking officials and powerful people in the capital, which would be very helpful for his mission to the south.

Now it seems that he expected that he got the best of the results he had expected. However, according to what he originally thought, even the least effective result would be of great help to his southward preaching. This now is naturally more helpful. If he could attract the Emperor Chong to become more interested in him when he met the Holy Emperor, then he could take the opportunity to take the upper level route. If he could get the official support and recognition of the Southern Song Dynasty, then he would naturally be much more convenient and easier to preach in the south, and it can also be said to be the fastest way to preach.

Of course, whether everything can develop as he expected and planned depends on what he can perform and compete for when he meets the Saint in Beijing.

If it weren't for this, he didn't care much about whether Lv Wende was robbing the merits. Anyway, he was not in the rewards of the Southern Song court. But now he was about to preach to the south, so this great contribution to the Southern Song Dynasty could not be robbed by Lv Wende without saying a word. With this great contribution, he could win an opportunity to enter the attention of the decision-making level of the Southern Song court. However, in addition, he also had other purposes, but this would be inconvenient to be told to outsiders.

His plan is very big and the plan is long-term. Before he is fully confident, he does not want to expose his thoughts too early and let people see it. The key to this plan is to enter the sight of the senior officials of the Song Dynasty. Now that he is just the bottom of his great achievements, he doesn't have to try his best to think about it.

After waiting in Xiangyang for another two days, Lu Wende finally arranged his affairs after leaving Xiangyang. On the morning of that day, Yin Zhiping led Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Li Zhichang and other Quanzhen disciples, along with Lu Wende's team to meet the saints, and with the sending of officials from all over Xiangyang, defenders, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, boarded an official ship parked at the dock in the city. Then he walked out of the water gate along the waterway, drove into the Han River, and went down the Yangtze River from the waterway to Lin'an.
