Traveling through the heavens starts from practicing swords in the palace

Chapter 117 116. Murder
What happened afterwards?

The affairs of the world can't carry a word of reason.

Although Lin Pingzhi came all the way to help Yan Chu find his place, but he is different from the usual big brother Pingshi after all.

If Yan Chu is obviously unreasonable, he is not good. He still has to help out if he doesn't distinguish between black and white.

So he wanted to ask more clearly, he didn't have to follow the extremely detailed clauses like the judge who judged the case, but at least he could distinguish right from wrong.

Feng Liang said that he was really thirsty after a long time, picked up the teacup and drank another sip of tea, and continued: "Yan Chu heard me say that at the time, and finally realized that it was his fault, so he agreed to apologize. At this point, I thought Yan After Chu followed me to apologize to Brother Zhu, it should calm down."

Lin Pingzhi asked: "Then why did the martial arts contest happen later?"

Feng Liang sighed, and said: "At this time, another episode happened. After I told Brother Zhu the name of Yan Chu, he thought of something. It turned out that he remembered an official from Huguang Province a few years ago from this name. Surnamed Yan, he had donated a lot of incense money to the Wudang Sect, and wanted his son to join the Wudang Sect."

Lin Pingzhi said in his heart: "Well, Ling Chang did say that Yan Chu's parents wanted him to join the Wudang Sect, but he refused. After arguing with his parents several times, he finally joined the Beggar Clan. ."

Unexpectedly, what Fengliang said next surprised Lin Pingzhi: "But the Wudang faction is very strict in selecting disciples. Although the official surnamed Yan is quite skilled in Huguang Province, how can the Wudang faction be afraid? They have seen this official surnamed Yan. The son—Young Master Lin, you must know that it is Yan Chu, after that, he felt that his bones were weak, so he refused to allow him to worship Wudang."

Lin Pingzhi didn't expect the two parties to speak differently about this matter, and felt surprised in his heart, but he didn't show his face, and listened to Fengliang continue to talk.

Feng Liang said: "Brother Zhu thought about this, so he thought that Yan Chu was unable to join the Wudang School, so he felt resentment in his heart, and even went to the Wudang School to peek at Wudang sword skills, and made ridicule."

"However, after thinking about the whole story, Brother Zhu thinks that Brother Yan is still young, and he acts absurdly because he was rejected because of bad ideas. If you no longer despise Wudang, then this matter will be over."

"Otherwise, brother Zhu can report the matter to the senior priests on Wudang Mountain, write a letter to the beggars' gang, explaining what happened-although the beggars' gang are usually sloppy and casual, but the sect rules do not I am vague, so Brother Yan may be punished a lot, especially if Wudang is involved, he will be dealt with more severely."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "According to this, Brother Zhu asked him for a martial arts competition, and the injury to him is relatively minor?"

Feng Liang said: "Mr. Lin was joking, hey, brother Zhu didn't mean that. I also interceded that day, saying that Yan Chu was usually quite capable in the beggar gang, but maybe he was depressed and Wudang didn't want to accept him. , so this matter was a bit unreasonable, so I said something nice to Brother Zhu, and at the same time, I went to Brother Yan and persuaded him to admit it."

"I called Brother Yan for the second time. When he said he knew about it, he was sincere and said that he knew it was wrong to peek at people practicing swords, and he was willing to admit his mistake."

"I was also relieved when I heard the words, so I took him to find Brother Zhu, thinking that this matter could finally be settled properly, without hurting the friendship between the Beggars' Clan and Wudang, and the three of us are not a few years apart in age. Although there was no fight, but because of this incident, I have made two friends, which can not but be said to be a blessing."

Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Lin Pingzhi thought to himself: "It seems that this person's ability to be the sub-rudder and the sub-rudder master is not all due to the helm master's attention or family relationship as Yan Chu said. He has nothing to do with this matter. Watching the excitement, or claiming credit for the small report from the rudder leader, but he himself found two young men to mediate in private, and handled it very well."

Feng Liang sighed again and said, "But who wants to have an accident happen when Yan Chu meets Brother Zhu? Yan Chu always says that it's wrong to peek at people practicing swordsmanship, but he never mentions that he insulted Wudang swordsmanship."

"Brother Zhu and I have already agreed to try our best to resolve this matter peacefully, so at that time we just said: 'Brother Yan, last time you said that Wudang swordsmanship is nothing more than that, I don't care about it any more, it's just that my swordsmanship is not good enough , I can’t get into your eyes. But I hope you won’t insult my Wudang swordsmanship in the future.’ But he didn’t ask him to apologize again.”

Lin Pingzhi said: "Speaking like this is already a step down for Yan Chu. How will he react?"

Feng Liang said: "Yan Chu heard what Brother Zhu said, but he didn't admit it, and said: "Brother Zhu, I apologize to you. I am sincere and sincere. It is really shameless to peek at your sword practice. I admit it. But you have to say What I said is wrong, but it is too domineering. Don’t let people tell you whether your Wudang swordsmanship is good? How can there be such a reason in the world? It is the leader of the demon sect Dongfang Bubai who is recommended by the martial arts public to be the best in the world , I said at this moment that his swordsmanship is not good, can it still be wrong?'"

Lin Pingzhi was drinking tea, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence, spit out some tea, and said with a smile: "This reasoning is a bit crooked, of course he said it, but if Dongfang Bubai listens to this If you talk badly and trouble him, then he can only bear it."

Feng Liang said: "Yes, Mr. Lin, I said the same thing that day. Unexpectedly, Yan Chu said: 'Since I dare to say it, I dare to admit it. I said Dongfang Bubai. If he wants to trouble me, then I will also say it." I admit it. I just want to say that Wudang swordsmanship is not good, and that is my own business.'”

"Hey, in fact, we are people in the right way, and it's best not to mention this kind of demonic monster...Brother Zhu naturally got a little angry when he heard this, and said at the time: "Okay, brother Yan is invincible in martial arts, so let's go!" Even Dongfang Bubai is not afraid of looking for you. It seems that Brother Feng doesn't want to hurt the Beggar Clan on the face of it, but Brother Yan is so contemptuous of Wudang swordsmanship, so I can only use our poor Wudang swordsmanship , come to experience Brother Yan’s brilliant move.'”

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi asked, "And then did the fight start?"

Feng Liang said: "That's right, when I talked about it that day, I know it's useless to persuade me any more. Brother Yan always has some prejudices against Wudang, and Brother Zhu never wants to see people insult Wudang swordsmanship. The two argued with each other and finally agreed on Wulin People in the middle still don't show their sharpness of words, Wudang swordsmanship is not powerful, you can tell after a fight, so I tried my best to persuade them to go as far as they can, and don't get hurt for a moment."

"Ah, actually before they competed, I already knew that Brother Zhu had achieved some success in Taiji swordsmanship. He was considered the best among his peers, even compared to many seniors. Although Brother Yan Chu is clever and light-hearted, his kung fu is not weak. However, in terms of martial arts, after all, it is still a bit short of fire. I only hope that Brother Zhu will be merciful with his sword, and stop after he wins half a move, so as not to hurt Brother Yan."

"The situation of the martial arts competition is similar to what I expected. Only three moves away, brother Zhu has a great advantage, and he doesn't want to hurt anyone, so he only uses the soft force of the Tai Chi sword to remove the bamboo stick from brother Yan's hand, and he has won half the move. Then he called a truce and said, "Brother Yan, I've accepted it. It's just a fluke to win you today, and it's not because of my high talent, but after all, Wudang swordsmanship is not useless as you said...'"

"He hasn't finished speaking yet, Brother Yan... Hey, Brother Yan, he immediately picked up the bamboo stick that fell to the ground, and threw it on Brother Zhu's head. This time, he did everything he could. Brother Zhu is Wudang My disciple didn't practice Shaolin Iron Head Kungfu, if he gets hit like this, he will die or suffer severe head injury, I shouted 'be careful', but it was too late to rescue him, so I could only be in a hurry."

"In desperation, Brother Zhu had no choice but to fight back with his sword. He is not a master of swordsmanship after all. At this critical moment, it is impossible to still lift the weight lightly, so he had to stab Yan Chu's arm—Mr. Lin, speaking of this, it is this I have gone through all the details of this matter, and I guarantee with my head that there is absolutely no word I fabricated—please judge clearly.”

The more Lin Pingzhi listened to it, the more he felt a little embarrassed. This matter was considered provocative by Yan Chu, but from Yan Chu's point of view, it was unavoidable for a young man to be rejected by Wudang.Lin Pingzhi himself was a rebellious boy, and he thought that if the protagonist of Wudang's practice was put in an online novel, if the protagonist was a counterattack waste material, then the Wudang faction would be the targets of pretense and slap in the face.

Besides, Yan Chu was injured in the martial arts competition, so it is quite normal for Lin Pingzhi to use the martial arts competition to teach this Wudang sect Zhu Fei a lesson.

But doing so is really a bit indiscriminate.

Big head.

But on the surface, Lin Pingzhi pretended to be confident, and said: "Master Feng Tuo, I already know this, don't worry, I am a reasonable person, if it is indeed Yan Chu who did something wrong, I will not help him blindly Hey, actually, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that the young man has a bit of a temper. It would be the best if you can turn your hostility into friendship."

He was obviously a young man, but he had the tone of a senior and an old man.

Feng Liang said: "I believe that Mr. Lin, like Brother Zhu and I, want to handle this matter properly. Hey, no matter what, it is a fact that Yan Chu's arm was injured, and it was also caused by my poor thinking that day."

He said again: "Mr. Lin, then we won't bother you anymore, so let's take our leave."

Lin Pingzhi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, if the rudder master and brother Zhu are free, we can make an appointment to meet again, and I will also come with Yan Chu. When the time comes, everyone will talk about it and expose this matter." Bar."

Feng Liangxi said: "That's very good, then we'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Lin."

After discussing the time and place, every good friend Zhu Fei left together.

After they left, Lin Pingzhi walked out of the guest room and said not far away: "Sister Lingshan, Yan Chu is peeping at Wudang swordsmanship on the wall, and you are eavesdropping on our conversation at the door of the guest room, it can be said to be the same."

His internal strength is high, and his eyes and ears are much more sensitive. Just now he knew that someone was eavesdropping outside, so he guessed it was Yue Lingshan.

Not far away, Yue Lingshan approached and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Brother Lin."

Lin Pingzhi said: "This matter is really embarrassing. Although Yan Chu has concealed and distorted the facts, it is true that he was injured in the martial arts competition. I was entrusted by Ling Chang Ling, the leader of the Fujian Branch of the Beggar Gang, to help Yan Chu express his anger. If you don’t help him in the martial arts competition, but also give a lesson to the Wudang disciples, it seems that you have a responsibility, but if you help him, you will become a villain who helps ignorant children to play tricks.”

"Miss Yue, what do you think should be done about this?"

Yue Lingshan blinked with a naughty expression on her face, obviously not ready to take the blame.

Lin Pingzhi said: "Good girl, this matter is really difficult for me, please give me some ideas, at least tell me your thinking."

Yue Lingshan smiled and said: "This matter is difficult to solve, and easy to say. I think of two solutions."

Lin Pingzhi asked, "These two kinds?"

Yue Lingshan said: "One is that you go directly to find Yan Chu, and ask him why he concealed the details first, and then you went to Wudang Mountain today and fought with the masters of the Wudang faction before you found out what happened. Yan Chu listens to you Having said that, when things get serious, the anger in my heart will naturally calm down, Brother Lin, you can count as an explanation to Ling Ruozhu."

"Although this is a trick to deceive, but Yan Chu concealed it first, Brother Lin, your white lie is not too much."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "This method is not bad, is there another method?"

Yue Lingshan said: "The second method, Brother Lin, didn't you just make an appointment with those two people to take Yan Chu out to meet tomorrow? You defeated that Wudang disciple, but you said that Wudang swordsmanship is profound and far surpassing. You imagine that you can win purely because of your higher internal strength—Brother Lin must be very easy to create this illusion with your martial arts."

"In this way, it can be regarded as saving face for Yan Chu, but it doesn't have the prestige of falling into the Wudang sect—you don't have to hurt the disciple of the Wudang sect."

Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "It is said that girls have a delicate mind. My sister, your method really takes care of both sides' emotions, and it doesn't hurt the peace of the Beggars' Clan and Wudang."

He walked out while talking, Yue Lingshan asked: "Brother Lin, where are you going?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Go and confirm one thing."

-

Yue Lingshan's method was really good, but Lin Pingzhi didn't intend to use it.

Although he still doesn't know how to do it.

But he wanted to find out one thing first: whether Yan Chu really lied.After all, although Feng Liang looks kind, no one can guarantee that what he said must be the truth.

Naturally, it was useless to ask Yan Chu, or Lin Pingzhi would not fully believe what Yan Chu said.

So Lin Pingzhi rode Xiaobai and rushed to Wudang Mountain overnight because of the trouble caused by the minor rebellion period.

It took three hours for the white horse to travel thousands of miles a day from Xiangyang to Wudang Mountain.

Of course Lin Pingzhi didn't know the way, but fortunately Wu Tian was famous all over the world, so he could just ask for directions along the way.

It was already evening when we arrived at Wudang Mountain. The Taoist priest guarding the gate saw Lin Pingzhi approaching, and said, "Beggar, we don't accept tourists today, you have to beg and come back tomorrow—when you come tomorrow, remember not to get too close to our Wudang sect." so as not to dirty the place." Seeing Lin Pingzhi's attire, he regarded him as a beggar.

The working people at the bottom always have some confusion about the reality. They feel that they are from Wudang Mountain and look down on others. Lin Pingzhi's mentality is much calmer now, so naturally he will not care about him.

He just pushed the boat along and said: "My little brother misunderstood, I am not a beggar who came to beg for food, but a beggar gang who came to ask to see the elders on Wudang Mountain. I don't know if you, Daoist Chongxu, are in the mountain?"

When the Taoist priest heard that Lin Pingzhi was from the Beggar Clan, he immediately raised his eyes and said, "It turns out that he is a senior fellow from the Beggar Clan. I'm sorry. Hey, although senior brother is from the Beggar Clan, he has to meet our leader when he comes up. It's really a little bit... …”

He didn't speak clearly, but Lin Pingzhi naturally knew that he meant that he was not qualified to meet their head, so he took out an ingot of gold from his bosom, still using the bamboo stick in his left hand and the gold in his right hand, and said: "Brother, This is the token of the helmsman of the Beggar Clan, please pass on a message for me, saying that Lin Pingzhi is begging to be added to Daoist Master Chongxu."

When the Taoist priest heard Lin Pingzhi's name, his expression did not change. He didn't know whether he had never heard of Lin Pingzhi's deeds or just heard the name and saw Lin Pingzhi's current dress and did not think that he was the young master of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

But Taoist priests guarding the gate in Wudang Mountain are also people with some knowledge. Of course he can tell the weight of the gold, and he can also see that the bamboo stick is not an ordinary thing, so he raised his eyes a little more: "Young master is the order of the helmsman of the beggar gang to keep the token." It's extremely rude to come to see our sect master, but the young master still can't see our sect master?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Pingzhi didn't feel annoyed, and said calmly, "Oh? Why?"

The Taoist priest said: "Our leader has gone down the mountain. I don't know where he is going. I only know that he may not be back in a day or two."

Lin Pingzhi didn't expect such an unfortunate coincidence, he wanted to meet the head of the Wudang sect, and he was not at home.

But he didn't come here just to find Chongxu, he just asked: "So, who else is there on the mountain? Could you please let me know."

The Taoist priest had already taken Lin Pingzhi's bamboo stick at this time, seeing that it was indeed an extraordinary thing, he secretly hid the gold that Lin Pingzhi gave him in his bosom—this gold was too much for him to take privately, and he would definitely hand it over to the sect. However, the temptation of gold is too great, so I still want to hide it close to my body.

Then I went to send a message.

The bamboo stick keepsakes of the Beggar Clan's sub-helm were quite useful, although Chongxu was not there, and other elders of the Chongzi generation in the faction also made excuses for something, but finally there was a middle-level Taoist leader in the faction who received Lin Pingzhi.

The priest told Lin Pingzhi his Taoist name, but Lin Pingzhi couldn't catch it after listening to it, and he was embarrassed to ask the priest to repeat it, so he didn't know his name.

But it doesn't matter, because Lin Pingzhi drove his horse for hundreds of miles from Xiangyang to Wudang Mountain, just to ask one thing: "At that time, there was an official surnamed Yan. It is said that he was very powerful in Huguang Province. He wanted to call his son Yan. The first one was sent to Wudang Mountain as an apprentice, is there such a thing?"

The Taoist priest was honest and said that he didn't know, so he asked another Taoist priest who was in charge of personnel affairs, and after asking, he told Lin Pingzhi: "There is such a thing."

Lin Pingzhi asked again: "I would like to ask if you at Wudang Mountain agreed to accept him into the sect?"

The Taoist leader was obviously not a person who knew how to adapt, but at least he was a warm-hearted person, so he went to ask the brother in charge of personnel affairs.

After several tosses, Lin Pingzhi finally asked what he wanted to know.

Feng Liang and Zhu Fei did not lie, Wudang did reject Yan Chu's request to join the sect back then.

After confirming this matter, Lin Pingzhi turned around and left, not planning to spend the night in Wudang Mountain.

The priest said: "Mr. Lin, I heard that Guanzhu Yu of the Qingcheng faction who was handed down by your family to fight against evil spirits has no power to fight back..."

Lin Pingzhi turned his head and saw the sword intent in the Taoist priest's eyes.

Of course, Xiaoao World doesn't have such a mysterious sword intent, it's just that Lin Pingzhi saw a kind of vigor in his eyes.

Such as sword light hidden weapon.

Lin Pingzhi said indifferently: "I also heard that the Wudang School's Taiji swordsmanship is profound and unpredictable, and there are almost no weaknesses in the sword moves. Daoist chief wants to compete with me?"

The priest said: "Mr. Lin finally came to Wudang Mountain, and he also used a sword. Don't leave anything behind?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Don't dare to fight the Taoist priest. In that case, let's leave a sword behind."

He said he left a sword behind, but he didn't raise his hand, he just walked out silently.

Walk out of the Wudang faction, ride a white horse, and disappear.

Galloping with all his strength, he returned to the inn in Xiangyang City.

On Wudang Mountain, the Taoist priest looked at the tea table that had been divided in two, but couldn't remember or say, when Lin Pingzhi left this sword.

On this day, I saw many people, experienced many things, heard many words, and rode a long way on horseback.

Lin Shaobao fell into a deep sleep.

-

Whether it's time travel to save the common people or dominate the rivers and lakes, or just like Lin Pingzhi at this moment, go to places that have never been to one after another, to gangs that have never been to one after another, just to help a person who has just met for a few days The boy settles the festival, and when the sun shines on his body, he always has to open his eyes.

After getting up to wash up and having breakfast with Yue Lingshan, Lin Pingzhi went to the Beggar Gang again. First, he asked Elder Dong of the Beggar Gang to inquire about the Huashan sect members yesterday. In order to meet again, I have to take Yan Chu there.

Lin Pingzhi went to look for Yan Chu first, but found that he was not in the thatched hut, but he didn't care, he should be in the sub-helm of the Beggar Clan after all.

I went to Elder Dong again to ask for news, but when I went to Elder Dong's residence, he was told by his servants that he was not there, and he didn't say where he was when he went out.

Lin Pingzhi wondered, is there another gathering, so Mr. Dong and Yan Chu are not there?
But then turned around again, and found that there were disciples of the Beggars' Clan everywhere, and it didn't look like there were any collective activities.

After searching, they could not be found.

Lin Pingzhi came here early in the morning and returned empty-handed, a bit disappointed, and he didn't know anyone else at the helm, so he didn't know what to do for a while, so he wanted to find Fengliang for a drink of tea and a chat.Although he and Fengliang have only met each other twice, they also feel a little bit of mutual affection.

But he only made an appointment with Feng Liang at the door of the sub-rudder at noon, and he didn't know where Feng Liang was at this time.

But yesterday, I heard from Yan Chu that Feng Liang often followed Ding Qiao, the rudder master, so he went to the place where the rudder master Ding Qiao was handling affairs to see if Feng Liang was there.

But he saw that the place was suddenly different from yesterday, it became very tightly guarded, and there were many disciples of the Beggar Clan guarding the gate.

He was looking in nearby and saw the guarded Beggar Clan disciples. He came over and expelled him and said, "The helmsman is discussing important matters with distinguished guests. Leave quickly, otherwise the gang will deal with it."

Lin Pingzhi didn't want to cause trouble in the beggar gang, turned around and left, looked around for a while, but Yan Chu, Feng Liang, and Mr. Dong were not there, asked many disciples of the beggar gang in Fendoli, and they all said they hadn't seen them.

Lin Pingzhi felt strange, if these people were in the sub-helm, someone would always see them. Based on this speculation, could it be that they have all gone out?

But this year I don’t have a mobile phone, so I can’t call to ask questions, so I can only hang out in the beggar gang, and watch an old man fishing by the river for a long time.Although the sub-helm of the beggar gang is located here, it will not occupy the entire river, so there are residents nearby who come here to fish.

Fishing requires patience. Lin Pingzhi was afraid of scaring away the fish by making a noise, so he practiced meditation even though he had no patience.

Time flies, and the sun is about to rise to the highest point. When Lin Pingzhi opened his eyes, the old man had already caught several big fish and left.

He looked at the sky, it was almost time to meet Feng Liang Yue Hao, and he was looking for Yan Chu again at the sub-rudder.

After thinking about it for a while before going to bed last night, I finally felt that I couldn't force Yan Chu out of this problem against my conscience. Although Yue Lingshan's method was a good one, it was unnecessary.

Since he was sure that it was Yan Chu who lied, and the provocation was the first, and the injury was his own fault, he decided to ask Yan Chu to apologize to Zhu Fei of the Wudang faction today, and promise that nothing will happen again in the future.

Although this is equivalent to slapping his uncle Ling Chang in the face, it is also the expected result of this matter, and it is time to explain the situation to Ling Chang.

But it was also strange, I asked again in the branch, but I still couldn't find Yan Chu, but a few people said that they had never seen Lin Pingzhi and suspected that he was plotting wrongdoing, and almost wanted to take him down. Fortunately, Lin Pingzhi took out Ling Chang The bamboo stick said that he came from the Fujian sub-rudder, and finally there was no trouble.

At noon, Lin Pingzhi came to the door of the sub-helm, thinking that he was an expert in dealing with good things, and he was determined not to break the appointment. Although Yan Chu was not there, he could only go to the meeting alone to avoid the other party having to wait.

When he arrived at the appointed place at the door of the sub-rudder, Lin Pingzhi's eyes widened. Even though he had a lot of experience, he also felt dumbfounded at this moment, a little surprised, a little unbelievable, a little sad and indignant——

He saw Fengliang lying on the ground.

After going up to investigate, it was found that he was dead.

Sure enough, Feng Liang did not miss the appointment, but it was his corpse who attended the appointment.
