Chapter 180: What touches people's hearts is fists, what touches their souls is money! "Why are we flashy?" Chen Huaiyun glared at Murong is a young man, full of youthful vigor, and cannot bear such humiliation. Murong Fu asked: "Do you think your 500 men of the Fiery Banner and this formation are very strong?" Chen Huaiyun said loudly: "Of course it is very strong. We have a large amount of fierce fire oil stored in our Fiery Flag. Once the fierce fire oil touches a person, it will stick to him and cannot be washed off for a while. At this time, only a small spark is needed to burn the enemy to death in the raging fire." "Moreover, our five hundred men have been trained for a long time and have formed a battle formation. Under the raging fire, no matter if it is the imperial army or any peerless masters, they will not be able to resist!" When Chen Huaiyun said the words "peerless master", he looked at Murong Fu provocatively, obviously hinting at something. Murong Fu laughed loudly and said, "What if I can destroy your Fiery Flags by myself?" "What?!" Chen Huaiyun said angrily, "Master Murong, I know you are very strong, but there is no need to brag like that! If any of my Five Elements Flags form a formation, no master in the world can resist it!" The other three flag bearers nodded one after another. This was the unshakable understanding deep in their hearts. This is indeed the case. Even masters of Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan's level, when they see the Five Elements Flags formation, can only use their lightness skills to flee and dare not engage in a head-on battle with it. In later generations, the Ming Cult displayed its power with the Five Elements Flags in the Shaolin Temple, which frightened the martial arts sects in the Central Plains.
Only then did they realize that if the Ming Cult lost its martial ethics and used the Five Elements Flag Formation to attack other sects, Shaolin and Emei would be wiped out. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, with the precise strikes of hundreds of flying axes, javelins and arrows from the sharp gold flag, even the three masters of Shaolin will die in regret. The Houtu Banner even dug a tunnel in the Shaolin Temple, which has remained there ever since. In the Ming Dynasty, it was used by Linghu Chong and the evil cult's insects to escape. It can be said that if the Ming Cult wanted to destroy the Shaolin Temple by any means necessary, the Thick Earth Flag would have dug a tunnel, and the Five Elements Flags would have started a massacre in the Shaolin Temple together, and the Shaolin Temple would have been expelled from the temple at that time. The Ming Cult’s target has always been the imperial court, not a single martial arts sect. However, these four flag bearers would never have imagined that there were people in the world who had practiced both internal and external skills to an incredible level, far beyond the level of peerless masters generally recognized by the world. "Not only can I break the Fiery Flag, I can also break the Sharp Gold Flag, the Flood Flag, the Giant Tree Flag, and the Thick Earth Flag!" Murong Fu said proudly, "I alone can defeat the military formation of your Five Elements Flag!" "Insanity!" "Shameless talk!" "That's nonsense!" The standard-bearers were enraged. The disciples of the Five Elements Flag gnashed their teeth and rubbed their hands, wishing they could just give an order from the flag bearer to capture this arrogant and rebellious Murong Fu. "Nothing is as intuitive as trying it yourself!" Murong Fu said, "Today I will use my supreme martial arts to prove what it means to be a strong person! Come on, please me and gain my recognition! If you can make me happy, I will give you a gift!" Chen Huaiyun said gloomily: "Mr. Murong, are you serious?" Murong Fu asked, "Do I look like I'm kidding?" Chen Huaiyun said: "Then I will do as Mr. Murong wishes. I hope you will not regret it." Murong Fu came to the field. "Form a formation!" Chen Huaiyun waved the flag in his hand. It has to be said that the five hundred men of the Fiery Flag were extremely elite. They formed a chain formation in an instant and surrounded Murong Fu.
"Attack!" Chen Huaiyun changed the command flag in his hand. "Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!" Five hundred disciples of the Fiery Flag, with red scarves wrapped around their heads and holding water buckets, or even pushing water trucks, were ready to throw flaming oil at Murong Fu, turning him into ashes in the raging flames. Murong Fu burst into laughter, suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, and then kicked upwards. In an instant, dust on the ground flew up, and countless dust was patted by Murong Fu's palms, instantly covering the battlefield. Everyone just felt like there was a sandstorm in front of them and they couldn't see anything clearly. The Fiery Flag blocked Chen Huaiyun's view and he became alert. Just as he was about to give the order to narrow the encirclement, he saw Murong Fu coming up to him. "you" As soon as Chen Huaiyun said the word "you", Murong Fu grabbed his throat and lifted him up high. The terrifying force penetrated Chen Huaiyun's bones, causing him to feel severe pain all over and unable to breathe. "Do you want to dance too?" Murong Fu laughed loudly, and in an instant, he blocked all the acupuncture points on Chen Huaiyun's body and threw Chen Huaiyun away. Snapped! Chen Huaiyun flew out. Ren Beiming had sharp eyes and was the first to notice Chen Huaiyun coming. He quickly used a move to catch him. He was tall and strong, with great internal strength, and he should have caught it. However, as soon as he caught Chen Huaiyun's buttocks, he felt a strong and infinite force attacking him. His face changed immediately, his palms were about to crack, and his body kept retreating. "Ah!" Ren Beiming roared, using all his muscles, but still couldn't resist the surging force. Ren Beiming's veins bulged, his muscles bulged, his teeth were chattering, and his feet were deeply embedded in the mud. However, he still kept retreating, his body swaying and unable to keep steady. Liu Feng and Han Jingyuan were shocked. They looked at each other and simultaneously struck out, one on the left and one on the right, supporting each other and pressing against Ren Beiming's back. However, Liu Feng and Han Jingyuan's faces changed immediately because the impact was too strong. They almost lost their balance and immediately used all their strength to resist this huge force. boom! This huge force was finally dissipated under the combined efforts of the three flag-bearers, and Ren Beiming also stabilized his body. However, the three flag-bearers were already sweating profusely, and each of them looked horrified. Murong Fu threw his strength with ease, and the three flag bearers used all their strength to barely resist. At this moment, all three of them looked unhappy. "Today I finally know what it means to have great strength like a god." Ren Beiming repeatedly pointed his fingers at Chen Huaiyun, trying to unblock the acupuncture points, but found that he couldn't do it at all. He looked at the field again, his face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice, "This is impossible!" It turned out that at this time, the dust in the field had settled and the scene was much clearer. Murong Fu was seen like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, his figure like a ghost, interspersed among the people under the Fiery Flag. Murong Fu's moves were nothing more than the most common martial arts such as Taizu Changquan, Mian Zhang, Luohan Quan, etc., but each move was so perfect that every punch and kick could knock over a dozen disciples of the Fiery Flag away. His moves were so exquisite, as if these enemies were delivering themselves to his face, just right. His grasp of timing and seize of opportunity were so good that even the flag bearers couldn't help but cheer in their hearts. Murong Fu was invincible, like a giant elephant, which was the result of using all his strength. The enormous power of the thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants, plus two hundred and fifty years of Beiming true qi, combined with the unity of inside and outside, the explosion of external skills amplified the meridians, making the output of true qi more surging, and the amplification of true qi made the power exerted by Murong Fu both hard and soft, the superposition of internal and external strength, the strength has reached the limit of what human power can achieve. Even if Sakyamuni were resurrected or Bodhidharma were reincarnated, it would be no more than this.
Moreover, the truly terrifying thing about martial arts compared to that of secular strongmen is not that he can use thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants at once, but that every move, even if it is just a shake of the shoulders, a stomping of the feet, or a dodging and moving, has the power of thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants. Moreover, the power of the thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants increases the overall strength. In other words, Murong Fu can now walk briskly while carrying a huge object weighing 1,300 kilograms. Even when he took a deep breath and leaped, he moved quickly and gracefully, as light as a butterfly. In addition, what is even more terrifying is the amazing endurance brought by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu. King Jinlun used the power of ten dragons and ten elephants to fight with Qiu Qianren for a whole day and night, and beat Qiu Qianren to the brink of death. Although this shows that Jinlun's martial arts skills are poor and his effective output is insufficient, it also shows that his endurance is so strong that it is inhuman. Even if an ordinary boxer is born with supernatural powers, he will become tired and his physical strength will decline after fighting with others for two minutes. After about ten minutes, all the energy in his body will be exhausted, his strength will be extremely reduced, and he will be out of breath. And the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu can really achieve "I can fight with you all day long"! At this time, Murong Fu was fighting vigorously. His tremendous strength and martial arts skills were combined. Facing such an astonishing number of opponents, he truly brought his martial arts to the fullest extent. He has always been brave and hardworking. The last time he used his full strength was when Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui joined forces. The other enemies are nothing but chickens and dogs, they can't block his real attack! This time, the Five Elements Flag was elite enough, the 500 men coordinated very skillfully, and were quite proficient in martial arts, which allowed him to exert his full strength. "Okay! Very good!" "The Fiery Flag actually took ten of my attacks without breaking up. They can be called the strongest army in the world!" "You are great, I recognize you!" Murong Fu was like a man in an empty space, invincible. Every punch and kick could sweep across an area, and the ground was littered with disciples of the Fiery Flag who were lying on the ground. Fortunately, Murong Fu showed mercy, otherwise he would be a hundred times more terrifying than Xiao Yuanshan back then. He would really kill people leaving corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood. Murong Fu, who was in a good mood, became more and more perfect in the unity of inside and outside. He could not help but let out a long roar. His voice was deafening. The three flag bearers who were still able to stand felt dizzy and almost fainted from Murong Fu's long roar. However, the disciples of the Fiery Flag who were very close to Murong Fu were shaken to the ground by his long roar. It was because Murong Fu simply roared, and did not use sonic martial arts such as the Lion's Roar, otherwise countless people would have been shaken to death or become deaf, dumb and demented. Ren Beiming was shocked and asked, "Is he really a human?" Liu Feng said: "Look, there are changes. The Fiery Flag is the most well-trained, and it is indeed extraordinary. The fierce fire oil is on!" It turned out that although the Fiery Flag had lost its commander because its leader was captured first, some of its disciples were very smart. They avoided the place where Murong Fu attacked fiercely and gathered in one place. At this time, about twenty disciples of the Fiery Flag operated three water trucks, aiming the nozzles at Murong Fu. They started the water truck without hesitation, and black flaming oil instantly shot out towards Murong Fu. Murong Fu seemed to have eyes on his back, and smiled, "Good timing!" At that moment, he turned around and pulled at the three streams of black flaming oil in the air! Capture the dragon and control the crane! Murong Fu actually pulled the three streams of sticky fiery oil in front of him, and then he used a secret move in Tai Chi called "Rubbing the Yuyan Peak". His hands kept drawing small circles, and small circles were formed one after another. A force gathered the three streams of fiery oil together. Then Murong Fu changed his move and used the "Sky Cannon" in Tai Chi. With a bang, this huge stream of fiery oil turned into a black dragon and flew towards the disciples of the Fiery Flag. Murong Fu followed closely behind the black dragon and used both hands to generate the One Yang Finger. The energy from the One Yang Finger condensed like a thread and fell on the black dragon. The high temperature created instantly ignited the black dragon! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The black dragon was formed from fierce fire oil. Once ignited, it quickly turned into a huge fire dragon. Murong Fu stretched out both palms, exerting the power of controlling dragons and cranes as well as the surging true energy. The fire dragon seemed to be controlled by him, and it swallowed up the disciples of the Fiery Flag. Such power stunned the disciples of the Fiery Flag, and Murong Fu's cold smile, behind the blazing flames, was like that of a devil.
The disciples of the Fiery Flag, who were used to seeing life and death, were shaken and their legs went weak. Seeing this, Ren Beiming shouted, "Master Murong, Fiery Flag admits defeat!" Murong Fu then turned the direction of the fire dragon and pointed it at the pine tree in the distance. The power of the thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants and the Beiming true qi simultaneously activated the power of the stars turning. The fire dragon quickly floated in the air, landed on the pine tree, and scattered. In an instant, the trees are full of red flowers! Just like the stars in the sky, rotating in this vast world. The beauty is cruel and amazing! Then there was a crackling sound. The pine trees were engulfed in flames, and the burnt aroma of roasted pine needles came along with the crackling sound. Everyone was shocked, horrified and stunned! too strong! Murong Fu is so strong! They couldn't even imagine that there was such a strong man in this world! "Hmph, the Fiery Flag failed to satisfy me. Who else among you wants to go up? If you don't dare, then admit defeat and acknowledge that I defeated the Five Elements Flag alone!" Murong Fu laughed. Ren Beiming naturally couldn't let Murong Fu achieve the achievement of single-handedly clearing the Five Elements Flag, so he immediately stepped out of the crowd and said, "The Giant Wood Flag is here to learn from Master Murong's skills!" "Come on, use all your strength!" Murong Fu said, "This is not enough, far from enough!" The giant tree flags formed a formation. They were mainly responsible for attacking the city, so they were good at using giant trees to hit the enemy. However, Murong Fu demonstrated the horror of the power of Thirteen Dragons and Thirteen Elephants. He shuttled through the crowd like throwing a shot put, grabbed these huge trees, and smashed them towards the disciples of the Giant Tree Flag. This was in line with Murong's principle of "returning a favor in their own way." Mani Xing, one of the three great Mongolian heroes in later generations, practiced an Indian martial art called "Buddha Throwing Elephant". He was able to throw huge rocks, which caused Jin Lun, who had higher martial arts skills, to suffer heavy losses. At this moment, Murong Fu's inner and outer parts were united, and he seemed to have truly acquired the power of Sakyamuni throwing the elephant. Of course, his strength is only a little over a thousand pounds, but after the addition of Bei Ming Qi, his strength can be further enhanced. What's more, the reason why warriors are called warriors is because they rely on martial arts. Murong Fu's Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is the best martial art in the world in terms of using strength, especially when it comes to using huge force, it is always effective. Therefore, throwing a huge tree mostly uses the principle of leverage, which seems careless and no different from an ordinary person throwing a small stone. It seems that Sakyamuni is only a human being, not a god, so it is impossible for him to throw the elephant simply by relying on his strength. He just used an extremely clever way of exerting his strength to achieve a great effect with little effort. Seeing this, Ren Beiming was afraid that his disciples would be crushed to death by the huge tree, so he had to admit defeat. Next, the Thick Earth Flag, the Flood Flag, and the Sharp Gold Flag were also defeated by Murong Fu. To deal with the Houtu Banner, Murong Fu used the Tianshan Six Yang Palm head-on and destroyed all the shield carts of the Houtu Banner. To deal with the flood flag, Murong Fu used a three-foot air wall, which dazzled everyone, as if they were watching a martial arts legend. Yes, at this time Murong Fu's inside and outside are united, and if he wants to use it, he can also use the Qi wall. When dealing with the Ruijin Banner, Murong Fu used the indestructible Six Meridians Divine Sword. The sword energy was so strong that it cut off many weapons of the Ruijin Banner disciples, and the ground was littered with broken weapons. The Five Elements Flags were all covered in dust, although they knew that if 2,500 people rushed forward and formed a formation against each other, Murong Fu would most likely not be able to resist. After all, there were too many people and the coordination advantage of the Five Elements Flags would be maximized. However, Murong Fu was able to destroy the Five Elements Flags one by one. The martial arts he used included both extremely powerful external skills and internal skills that released his true energy. Skills as strong as the Six Meridians Divine Sword and as weak as the Taizu Long Fist were all mastered by him with ease. He could be regarded as a man with "no omissions or flaws" in martial arts. There is no weakness at all; his energy recovery, endurance, martial arts, internal strength, and external power are all at the highest level and flawless.
Everyone in the world worships the strong, and Murong Fu is undoubtedly the strongest among the strong. He often gives people the feeling of being "inhuman". The disciples of the Five Elements Flag were defeated by him fairly and they all respect and fear him. What people fear is his high martial arts skills, strong combat power, and rich combat experience. He is like a demon slayer from heaven, truly a god on earth. What we respect is his high martial arts skills. He is truly the reincarnation of Bodhidharma or Lu Zu resurrected. Moreover, even in a situation where we are outnumbered by the enemy, he was able to show mercy. Murong Fu wanted to leave a deep impression on the Five Elements Flag, and now this impression is so deep that they will never forget it. What touches the heart is fist! Murong Fu's fist obviously touched their hearts! "How?" Murong Fu stepped forward and tapped in the air to unblock the acupoints for Chen Huaiyun. Chen Huaiyun looked ashen, and said sadly: "Mr. Murong, you are not lying to the world. Your martial arts are truly unfathomable. You have the power to contain the universe and swallow the power of heaven and earth!" "Mr. Murong, your martial arts are unrivaled in the world!" Ren Beiming said. "He is indeed invincible in the world." Han Jingyuan said, "When I was young, I heard the story of Murong Longcheng being invincible in the world. I didn't expect to see such a scene today." Murong Fu waved his hand and said loudly: "I have something to say, please listen carefully!" Everyone fell silent. This is respect for the strong. "Although you were defeated by me, my ability is divinely granted and blessed by destiny, which is incomparable to ordinary people." Murong Fu's words were a foreshadowing for the "Ming Zun's coming to the world" in the near future. At this time, everyone just thought that Murong Fu was bragging. "But I also recognize your courage, your will, and your ability! Very good! You have won my respect! In Jiangnan, there is a saying called 'Gusu Murong, the words are as heavy as a mountain', which is about the story of our Gusu Murong family's words. I promised you that as long as you can get my approval, I will give you a welcome gift! I declare that I will give each of you a welcome gift of ten strings of cash!" "Gong Yeqian, give me money!" Gongye Qian put down the large package he was carrying, and took out several small packages from his sleeves. When he opened the packages, he found that they were all Jiaozi. The Northern Song Dynasty was the first country in the world to widely use paper money. Jiaozi was quite popular in the Song Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty also inherited this tradition. However, the financial system collapsed and the currency was constantly changed, causing the banknotes to depreciate. This is what the Yuan opera said, "Changing currency caused thousands of red scarves." These Jiaozi all have a denomination of ten strings of cash. Everyone was shocked! Give me ten strings of cash as a meeting gift! At that time in Tokyo Bianliang, an ordinary citizen could earn 100 coins a day working, which was enough to support his family. These 100 coins, converted into the labor price in later generations, would be two hundred yuan a day. 1000 coins is one string, and strings is coins. what is this concept? Equivalent to 20,000 yuan in later generations. But this money is much more valuable than the money in later generations, because there are not many opportunities to make money in the Song Dynasty, and residents in most areas can only earn a few dozen coins a day. The salary of the Song Dynasty's imperial army was about 800 coins, of which 500 coins were actually paid out. The salary of the local garrison troops was 500 coins, of which 300 coins were actually paid out. Even so, the salary was often in arrears! Therefore, when the Song Dynasty army was about to go into battle, they often asked for extra money. Even if they were paid extra, shooting a few arrows into the sky was considered to be worth the money given by the government. The Five Elements Flag of the Ming Cult has no military pay and relies entirely on faith, so the impact of the ten-stringed silver gift is even greater. What can touch the heart is fist! What can touch the soul is money! Murong Fu touched their hearts with his fists and their souls with money. Although he could not make them change sides immediately, at the critical moment, he could make the Five Elements Flag follow Murong Fu.
why? Violence proves that the leader is strong and worth following. Politicians must be strong! Money proves that the leader is generous. He gave ten strings of coins as soon as they met. He is more generous than the officials of the Song Dynasty! The essence of politics is actually very simple, two steps: One, find the money. Second, use money to buy the loyalty of others, especially the loyalty of thugs who have the ability to suppress. The ultimate goal of politicians to consolidate their rule is to control the source of money for the entire empire, that is, taxes. Then he used taxes to support his army, that is, to buy off thugs who could help him suppress all opposition forces. Once there are problems in these two links, the emperor becomes a fake. For example, Emperor Chongzhen could neither find money from the Ming Empire nor really spend the money on grassroots soldiers to improve the soldiers' will and combat effectiveness. So although he was called an emperor, he was not actually the supreme ruler of the world. His subsequent hanging on Coal Hill was an inevitable tragedy. Murong Fu is still in the start-up stage and is still spending his own money, but it doesn’t matter. Once he has established his dominance in the southeast, all the financial resources of the Song Dynasty will be in his hands. Do the landlords and gentry dare to resist? Do you want to test the sharpness of Murong Fu's sword? Ren Beiming and the other three looked unhappy. They naturally didn't care about the ten strings of money, but the eyes of the brothers below were burning as they stared at the Jiaozi in a daze. If they dare to refuse, they will lose the support of the people in an instant. And Murong Fu has already started distributing money. When he was fighting, he was as fierce as a wolf; when he was handing out money, he was like a good brother, with a pleasant face and extraordinary bearing. He consoled people with soft voices, talked and laughed cheerfully, and made the disciples of the Five Elements Flag sincerely convinced. The four flag bearers had no choice but to ask people to help Murong Fu raise money to prevent Murong Fu from further winning over the people. Soon, all of Murong Fu's money was distributed. Murong Fu's address in the Five Elements Flag also changed from "Master Murong" to "Brother Murong". A group of Five Elements Flag disciples all called Murong Fu "Big Brother", and it was obvious that they were very respectful to Murong Fu. After Murong Fu left, the four flag bearers all had complicated expressions. "Is he helping the Saint to win us over?" Ren Beiming asked. "Obviously not." Chen Huaiyun said, "This man is a rare hero, with superb martial arts skills and the ability to grasp people's hearts. His ambitions are not small. How can a saint girl control such a person?" Han Jingyuan sighed and said, "The Ming Cult is really in troubled times. Now that Murong Fu has descended today, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." (End of this chapter)
