stand out from the crowd

The precious records here have just made many of the lost peerless swordsmanship of my five mountains rediscover the light of day.I made up my mind to avoid Zuo Lengchan after returning, and secretly invited Mo Da, Master Dingxian and Taoist Master Tianmen separately to observe the stone carvings here.It is time to discuss how to fight against Zuo Lengchan.

Just now when he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw the sky darken, a thunder flashed, and the rain began to fall.The sound of the hoarse water droplets hitting the leaves came to my ears, and the darkened mountains and fields filled my sight.Under the dome of the sky, it seems to be a world of water, and it is misty to look at.The water color confuses the clear color limit, and all the fine noises are covered, leaving only the purest music of nature reverberating in the air.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but stop, and it was raining heavily, but it was difficult to embark on the return journey for a while.

Linghu Chong said: "Master, let's wait here for a while. Xia Yu comes and goes quickly."

I nodded and sat down on the bluestone at the entrance of the cave.Linghu Chong approached me and sat beside me, with one hand slowly wrapping around my waist from behind, I paused for a moment, then silently relaxed my body, followed his strength and leaned my head on his shoulder.I closed my eyes and let his breath gradually fill my body.

Linghu Chong said in a low voice: "Master, you told me in the past that the way of swordsmanship is endless, right?"

The melancholy and fragility in my heart suddenly gradually calmed down and turned into a soft emotion.I felt him kiss my hair lightly, and his other hand took my left hand.I let him caress my fingers gently, and suddenly felt that the silence at this moment was worth everything in the world.I sat quietly with him like this, listening to the sound of lingling rain until the sky cleared up after the rain, and all the wind and rain passed away.

After getting up with him, we followed the mountain road back to the mountain.After the rain, the fragrance of green grass and forest leaves comes out, and the fragrance dissipates with the wind.The buds on the branches are condensed with raindrops, crystal clear and lovely.Linghu Chong and I are exercising lightness kung fu, and our clothes are walking gracefully between us.He suddenly asked: "Master, what are you thinking?"

I said: "The scenery is beautiful after the rain."

After leaving the mountain forest, we stepped onto the bluestone path, and we walked side by side slowly towards the front mountain, but he turned his head and looked at me deeply, saying: "The scenery is beautiful, but... I only wish to hold my hand and stand side by side, forever."

At this moment, the mountain wind is still a little cool.I am actually very warm.

I looked at him, and couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "But it's the same with you."

I just feel that everything in the world has lost its color, and only the silent laughter of the people in front of me is left.Tranquility spread between the two of us, and the quiet wind uttered all the words for the two of us. The brilliance in his eyes burst out instantly, and the joy and excitement between his brows and eyes were suppressed by the deeper emotions that emerged.Those amber eyes were as gorgeous as glass, which made me lose my mind. I suddenly realized that there are people in the world who can take away all my mind with just a smile.He suddenly squeezed my hand a little bit.

It was very quiet all around.

I could only see the blazing passion floating in his eyes, gradually settling down and turning into a deep joy.My originally accelerated heartbeat gradually eased under such gazes, leaving only ordinary tenderness.Maybe he wanted to kiss me, maybe he didn't.He just turned his head very slowly, with a slight smile, and walked towards the mountain hand in hand with me.

After this incident, the two of us talked about it, and he no longer concealed what was on his mind, and became more and more pestering.Sometimes, he was too bold and reckless, which made me unavoidably annoyed, but after a few days of indifference, in his constant flattery, the slightest bit of annoyance softened again.

By the time I realized that my line of defense was pushed back by him bit by bit, and I retreated inch by inch, it was already too late.I was even distracted several times, seeing the undisguised desire in his eyes after he was emotional, but I couldn't help falling into a stalemate between the two.

Just because of the past, I have always been somewhat repulsive to the matter of the joy of fish and water, not to mention the love | things between men, there is nothing like the harmony of yin and yang.But he didn't dare to press too hard, he just looked at me closely with those amber eyes, pleading in his eyes, and the word "Master..." was slightly overflowing from his mouth, his tone was convoluted, full of imagination couplet.But I don't know how much perseverance it took to maintain a calm face and never let go.

But I also vaguely know in my heart that since the two are in love, this matter is difficult to restrain.However, martial arts practitioners should be pure-minded and have as few desires as possible. Perhaps Linghu Chong should understand this truth.

The author has something to say: I don't know how many times I've watched "Evil in the West", and I'm in tears again.

The subtle changes between me and Linghu Chong were still noticed by others after all.A few months later, when Ji Qian was working with me, he inadvertently asked me: "Recently, it is common for Chong'er to stay with senior brother. What is senior brother busy with?"

I was stunned by his question, and my heart skipped a beat.When I looked up, I saw a very flat smile on his face. Although there was curiosity in his eyes, there was no half of his thinking.As soon as I thought about it, I immediately guessed that he interpreted the relaxed atmosphere between me and Linghu Chong, and even interpreted the restored master-student relationship as before.Although I knew in my heart that it was impossible for him to really know the reason why Linghu Chong was pestering me, but the embarrassment couldn't go away.For a while, my thoughts were in chaos, and I casually covered it up: "I... have been studying a sword technique with him recently."

Ji Qianfu handed me another account, and asked with great interest, "Oh, what sword technique is it?"

I lowered my head to open the account, stared at a few lines, and said in a deep voice: "This set of swordsmanship is what I got when I went down the mountain. It's called the 'Xintong Shenjian'. It's a two-person technique. I'm practicing this sword with him. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Junior Brother Ji's dazed face, and I couldn't help but feel relieved, but I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassment on my face.Although what I said is an excuse, it is not entirely false.

Ever since I saw the stone carvings on Siguo Cliff that day, I began to deduce sword skills move by move based on the legacy of my ancestors recorded on it.Linghu Chong was beside me when I practiced the sword.Having him practice swordsmanship with me is much more effective than me doing it behind closed doors.As a result of the excitement, he and I either compared sword moves, or figured out a set of moves together, and our swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated.And after observing the essence of the stone inscriptions, and then corroborating with what I have learned in my life, I often have the idea of ​​creating a new set of swordsmanship.

These days, when I get along with him, most of them are spent in sword practice.

But Ji Qian didn't suspect him, and left the study after finishing the housework.After noon, when I was standing by the bookshelf searching for an ancient book, I saw Linghu Chong approaching silently.I raised my head and glanced at him indifferently, but I saw his brows smiling, which made my heart move slightly, and I faintly felt a strange feeling.

But seeing him leaning on the bookshelf with one hand, lowering his head slightly, he said with a light smile, "Master, what is Xintongshenjian?"

I froze all over, and when I looked up, I saw a smile in those brown eyes, which made me feel a little bit angry for no reason.I gave him a cold look, turned around and looked for the book, but didn't talk to him.

But he smiled and leaned closer and said, "Master, I wonder if this sword technique is difficult to practice? How long does it take to achieve small success? How long does it take to achieve great success? How long...to achieve perfection?" While talking, he kept looking at me intently. But I couldn't suppress the slight burning on my face, my heart was annoyed and embarrassed by his questioning, wishing I could immediately take back what I said this morning.

I turned my head and stared at him coldly again, but saw him leaning slightly, although there was a smile in his eyes, but the deep emotion in it was clearly discernible.My heart trembled, and I saw him staring at me, but the two of them froze for a while.

His face was only a few inches away from me, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and suddenly his eyes drooped slightly. I closed my eyes, and the next moment his lips touched lightly, followed by earth-shaking enthusiasm.He clasped my back tightly with one hand and locked me firmly in front of the bookshelf.I felt bursts of scorching hot breath coming from his tightly pressed body through the cloth shirt.This passion spread from the place where I touched his skin to my heart, and in an instant it brought a fire like a prairie fire, burning out my thoughts and making me unable to move.I can only use my hands to barely support my body on the bookshelf behind me, but I feel that the world is going to be turned upside down.

The coldness of the wood touched by my hands made me wake up from the ecstasy, but I immediately noticed that he had torn off my coat, and his hands were sliding slowly but without hesitation along the lapel.But from my position, through the gaps in the books on the bookshelf behind him, I can see a few inches of sunlight falling on the window sill not far away.My heart trembled suddenly, the window of the study room hadn't been closed yet.

In the midst of panic and obsession, I only spilled one word: "Don't..." It is now afternoon, although no one will break into my study room for no reason, but this place is only a few rows of bookshelves away from the door.If there is any movement outside the door, it can be clearly heard inside the door.

His hoarse voice was full of lust, and he asked close to my ear: "Master, I wonder if I can teach my disciple... a quick way?" I just felt that the voice was so hoarse that I trembled all over , each strand of hair seemed to stand up faintly as if touched by something.My soul is almost floating in the air because of his soft words, unable to grasp any thoughts.I was so confused that I looked up behind the bookshelf again, only to see a tree shadow falling on the window sill, rustling and shaking in the wind.But he said: "Hush, master, don't talk." I turned my head and saw two swords stacked on the side, within reach.

I didn't say anything, those eyes were too gentle, too fragile, full of cherishment and persistence, I couldn't help calling softly from the bottom of my heart: "Linghu..." Then it dissipated again, overflowing All that was left was an extremely suppressed slight gasp.But this kind of indulgence actually makes me happy.Bitter and painful, but this love is also sweet and lingering.I know that if I take this step, I will be lost forever, but the hearts of these two swords are connected, and in the joy of extinction from hopelessness to despair, there is still a faint ray of hope.

After the trip to Siguya that day, when I contacted Mo Da and the others, I was extremely cautious, and even the two junior brothers were not alarmed.Because it is difficult for me to know whether there are Zuo Lengchan's spies besides Lao Denuo in the faction. This matter is too important to reveal anything.

It is expected that the secret of Siguoya stone carvings has been hidden by my teacher for so many years, and this is also the reason.Uncle Feng once annotated on the picture of the back mountain, but I didn't recall it for a while because of the long time.He reminded Linghu Chong about the sword cave, because of the current situation, the Huashan faction is at a critical moment, otherwise, this disgraceful past will definitely not be brought to light again.

Soon, I took Mo Da and Tianmen Daoist, who were sneaking up the mountain in disguise, to Siguoya Cave.When they left, the expressions of the two of them were extremely dignified.

From the mouth of the Taoist priest of Tianmen, we know that the Taishan faction has already faced each other in battle.Zuo Lengchan sent out several masters of the Songshan School to assist Yuyinzi in competing with the Taoist priest of Tianmen for the position of master.Although the Taoist priest of Tianmen did not hand over the iron sword of the sect leader, he was forced to leave Mount Tai the day before yesterday because the forces under his sect were no match for Yuyinzi.But at this moment, the person in power of his Taishan faction is actually Yuyinzi who is completely obedient to Zuo Lengchan's orders.

I didn't expect the situation to have deteriorated to such an extent. The Taishan faction has completely become a subsidiary of the Songshan faction. In comparison, the situation of the Hengshan faction is not so good.Since that sword competition, Mo Dayi has changed his habit of traveling in mountains and plains, and often sits at the gate of the mountain for a few months in a year.In the past few years, he also used the excuse of "betrayal" to abolish Zuo Lengchan's blatant minions who had been planted in Mount Hengshan. Rectify and clear up.

Fortunately, the two of them still have a group of disciples, but they are loyal people. It is not completely useless for me to invite them here this time.After Tianmen Daoist left in a hurry, Mo Da stayed half a step behind and asked, "Master Yue, why did you tell me about the stone carving?"

There was no one around, and the crisp cries of forest birds could be heard faintly among the green trees.But before my eyes vaguely appeared Linghu Chong's clear and clear eyebrows and eyes under the firelight that day, which made me suddenly feel warm, I smiled silently, and asked: "Why don't you say it?"

Mo Da took a deep look at me, and said: "Master Yue's spirit and mood, Mo admires it." He arched his hands, and before leaving, he said: "There are many ordinary people in the world, and they are young and in charge. I know such a gentleman as Brother Yue. Life is so fast! Haha!" I stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at that figure, but suddenly I felt that although Mo Da was serious in words, he was clearly a carefree and willful character hidden in layers of bitter sword intent. people.

However, I am just an ordinary person.Only Taoists in this world are superfluous with things, and what I do, I just want to be ashamed of my heart.I looked at the figure turning out from behind the cliff, flying towards him, his clothes fluttering in the air, elegant and handsome like a fairy.I looked at him from a distance, and I felt so proud for no reason.

In this world, there are ice knives and frost swords, and every inch of grass is a soldier, or there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, Mo Da and the Taoist priest of Tianmen secretly discussed how to fight against Zuo Lengchan for a long time. The tension and calm that was barely maintained in the martial arts was suddenly broken by a shocking and frightening news.

Dingxian and Dingyi of the Hengshan School were both in distress when they were at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly died suddenly overnight.The disciples of the Hengshan School were at a loss and had no leader, so they had to take refuge in Huashan along the way, and go to Songshan on the other way to seek the asylum of Zuo Lengchan.The bizarre death of the two of them seemed to be a spark that ignited the fuse all of a sudden, causing the rivers and lakes that had accumulated all kinds of frictions to become turbulent again.

Master Dingxian and Master Dingyi have always been well-known masters of swordsmanship in the martial arts, among them Master Dingxian is the head of a sect, who can kill them silently, let alone leave any traces, within the world. countable.

However, there were no sword wounds on the bodies of the two of them.This kind of weird and bizarre way of death reminds people of only one person.When Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Demon Cult, first came out of the martial arts decades ago, the killing methods that made everyone fearful and frightened were exactly the same as this one.

After meeting the disciples of the Hengshan Sect, listening to their descriptions and the information uploaded from the mountain, I couldn't help but have a guess in my heart.Could it be that Dongfang Bubai did it, and the Demon Cult finally planned to reappear in the martial arts world and dominate the world?

Although this guess made me feel cold, but after thinking about it for a while, I calmed down quickly.Dongfang Bubai's martial arts could easily kill the two of them, but what purpose did he have in doing so?If he wanted to kill the two of them, maybe he didn't need a reason, but why wait until this moment.Although the Hengshan Sect is indeed the righteous sect closest to Heimuya, the Wuyue Sword Sect is still in the same spirit in name, so would he really do such an act of scaring the snake?However, the raging rumors of the Devil's Cult over the past few years are clearly paving the way for something.

I have many doubts in my heart, but I have a faint intuition in my heart that it is not so simple behind this matter.

After the Songshan School received the disciples from the Hengshan School, Zuo Lengchan calmed down a little, but Zuo Lengchan suddenly spread the hero post, calling everyone in the martial arts to gather in Shaolin to discuss the matter of the Demon Sect.And he ordered the members of the Five Sacred Mountains to lead their disciples to Putian Shaolin Temple.

When I saw this order flag sent by Lu Bai of the Songshan School, I vaguely felt a strange feeling in my heart.It seems that everything that happened at this moment is like a chess game planned by someone, one step after another, one after another.But I was the one in the game, with only a vague idea about the future, and I couldn't help myself at all.

The author has something to say: Spring and Autumn has passed, because the river crab...

Suddenly, I had an idea. If the tragedy happened to Calvin, I would give you a side story first.

Digression: In fact, no matter what the category is, falling in love is difficult.What's more, it's a different place and a foreign country.I gave up, I'm really sad, I'm so sad that I can't cry, alas, I'm really sorry to affect everyone's mood with this kind of thing.

After Lu Bai delivered the order, he left Huashan without stopping for a moment.

I pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yiqing, the chief disciple of the Hengshan Sect who was also in the main hall, and said to her: "According to the order of the leader of the Zuo alliance, I am afraid that Yue will go to Putian, but I don't know what the masters and nephews of your sect are planning. ?”

Yiqing looked miserable, she just shook her head and said: "But according to the arrangement of Sect Master Yue."

I sigh softly.Her female disciples of Hengshan Sect are all monks, but my Huashan disciples are very few female relatives, although Huashan treats me respectfully, it is still unavoidable that the status is embarrassing.Now that Hengshan is in a catastrophe, although Huashan is obliged to take them in for the time being, if they are all kept on the mountain, they will be abandoned after all, which is morally unjustifiable.

Standing behind me, Linghu Chong suddenly said: "Master, since the leader of the Left has ordered the Five Sacred Sword Sect to unite, why don't we let Senior Sister Yiqing go with us, or replace the Hengshan Sect."

I nodded in agreement, but I couldn't help feeling a deeper heaviness in my heart.I was going to invite Master Dingxian to observe the stone carvings and work together to free my four sects from Zuo Lengchan's control, but I didn't expect that the world is impermanent, and now a good Hengshan sect has lost all masters. A hard blow.

Daoist Mo Dahe went up the mountain that day and was too busy to stay, so he only memorized the method of deciphering the Songshan school's sword moves and the lost sword techniques of his two schools, and left.Although my Huashan, Taishan, and Hengshan sects have obtained the way to restrain the Songshan sect, after all, it takes time to figure out the sword moves.But what is lacking the most right now is time, and because we are alone and weak, it is even more difficult to win if we directly face Zuo Lengchan.

Therefore, even though I knew that Zuo Lengchan was based on the Hengshan faction, and I was afraid that the heroic post was based on the topic, I had no choice but to accept the order and leave.Entrusting the mountain to Ji Qian and his wife, Qingsong and I left Huashan with Linghu Chong and other Huashan disciples, as well as Yiqing and Yilin, two brothers and sisters of the Hengshan School.

Now that it is winter, the cold wind on the road is blowing bitterly.As the north wind whistled, the world was dull and cold, just like my state of mind, the chill was hard to dissipate.

When my group arrived in Putian, I met the disciples of Wuyue at the foot of the mountain.When everyone met each other, they all looked dignified and didn't have much intention of greeting.But the Taoist priest of Tianmen was also at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Yiqing who came with me on Huashan, he approached.I saw him opening and closing his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't even utter a word of comfort.He sighed softly, and said: "From today onwards, if Hengshan faction has any matters, the poor will definitely help."

Yilin lowered her head and raised her sleeves to cover her face. I saw Yiqing's eyes were slightly red standing beside her, but she just stared at the ground, bowed and said: "Master Tianmen's kind words, I, Hengshan Keep it in your heart, never dare to forget." She clasped her palms together, and in her description she vaguely had the calm appearance of Mrs. Dingxian.

I know that people in the world are cool and warm, and most of them are cold and thin.Most of them are icing on the cake and flattering, but few give charcoal in a timely manner.It's just that she is a member of the Hengshan faction after all, even though Huashan and Taishan help me with all my might, she is still an outsider after all.She, Yiqing, as the head disciple of the Hengshan Sect, has shouldered the responsibility of life and death, this weight is not heavy for a female class.

I was about to speak when I saw a disciple of the Songshan sect walking up to me and saluting: "Master Yue, the leader of the left alliance welcomes you." I nodded, but walked aside with the disciples of Hengshan Sect.I saw that there was nothing strange or surprised in his expression, and he and Qingsong stayed behind to protect these disciples, so I was relieved for the time being.He turned his head and asked Linghu Chong a few words, then followed the disciple of the Songshan School up the mountain.

It was near dusk, and when I was walking on the mountain road of Shaoshi Mountain, I faintly felt that the atmosphere around me was a bit weird.As far as I can see, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, standing or sitting under the bluestone trees on the mountain, presumably they came here because of Zuo Lengchan's invitation or after hearing the news.It's just that the voices of people talking to each other are very soft, as if there is something taboo.Many people passing by saw the disciples of the Songshan School and me, but all of them just saluted from a distance, and no one came close to greet them.

People in the martial arts have always been extremely casual, but how hastily turned into this cautious and repressed appearance.I frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt crept into my heart quietly.But the guiding disciples of the Songshan School kept silent, just leading the way, and did not talk to me.Along the way, I secretly noticed that thousands of nobles gathered inside and outside the Shaolin Temple.

After passing through the middle gate on the mountainside, the guiding disciples of the Songshan School stopped going up the mountain and led me into a temple built on the mountainside.I was a bit surprised, Shaolin Temple is located on the top of the mountain, why did it stay here.

After stepping through the gate, he saw a huge hall, with more than ten people sitting here and there.I looked around, and I saw that the people gathered here are all the leaders of the famous faction in the righteous way of martial arts today, and their status is respected.But at the top of the hall, there were three Taishi chairs standing side by side, two of which were empty, and only one person sat on it.He raised his eyes slowly, meeting my gaze who was looking up, it was Zuo Lengchan.

My heart skipped a beat.Since we met, I have seen Zuo Lengchan's frenzied and stern look, and also seen his sword-like or incomprehensible look, but I have never met such a plain look.His eyes seemed to be a dark pool of stagnant water, lifeless, let alone the slightest emotion.But it was such a stranger's look that suddenly made my heart shudder.Suddenly, without warning, I remembered another pair of eyes that were not at all similar.

It was Dongfang Bubai's arrogant and cold eyes, looking down on the world like a god.

Zuo Lengchan sat there without moving, I saluted him, glanced over the empty seats, and took a seat next to Master Jin Guang in Emei.Everyone also only briefly greeted me, then returned to their seats and remained silent.After a long while, Zuo Lengchan suddenly heard Zuo Lengchan say: "All of you arrived about the same time. As for the others, I'm afraid you don't have to wait."

I raised my eyes slightly, and saw him standing up from his seat.Her hair was neatly tied in a sandalwood crown, and she was wearing a moon-white gown with dark lines outlined by silver threads on the piping, which was indescribably luxurious.I couldn't help raising my eyebrows slightly, people in martial arts have always been against the secular world, they pay attention to being indifferent, and despise money, but few people are so exquisitely dressed, like royal nobles.It's just that the attention of the people in the hall was attracted by what Zuo Lengchan said, and none of them noticed this abnormality.

He said: "Zuo has invited you here for two reasons. One, it has been clearly stated on the invitation card, that is to invite all the heroes to gather in Shaolin to discuss how to deal with the Demon Cult. The second thing is that you also You can guess it. According to the law of the past, to eradicate demons and defend Taoism, it is necessary to form a martial arts alliance. And moreover, we must elect one person to be the leader of our martial arts alliance."

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood his intention of inviting the world's heroes for no reason.He is not only satisfied with being the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, but also wants to get his hands on the power of the leader of the Wulin leader.Every martial arts conference in the past was held in the No. [-] sect of the Righteous Way.For hundreds of years, they were all in Putian Shaolin Temple.No wonder there are so many heroes gathered in Shaoshi Mountain today, presumably to fight for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

But I heard someone ask: "Leader Zuo has great righteousness in his heart, we understand it, but since all the heroes of my righteous way have gone to the appointment, why don't we see people from Shaolin?" The door is beyond the sea.I haven't seen him for several years, but he still looks like that.But when I thought about what I saw and heard when I went up the mountain, I also had general doubts in my heart, the Shaolin Temple didn't come to welcome all the virtuous people, instead they closed the mountain gate tightly, it's really weird and abnormal.

I raised my head and glanced at the two empty chairs beside Zuo Lengchan, but my heart suddenly moved, and I faintly understood.Those two chairs are probably reserved for me, the heads of the other two sects of the righteous way, Daoist Chongxu from Wudang, and Master Fangzheng from Putian Shaolin.

However, although the two of them are among the best masters in the martial arts world, neither of them cares about affairs in the martial arts world.I heard that Daoist Chongxu devoted himself to seeking the truth and practicing behind closed doors to avoid disputes. Wudang disciples seldom show up in the arena. He will definitely not show up at the martial arts conference this time.But Master Fangzheng of Shaolin is my number one master of the righteous way, but he didn't show up at this moment, and his intentions for this martial arts conference are extremely clear.However, if the two of them are unwilling to show up, the martial arts conference will be held, but it will be suspected of being dishonest. Even if there is a result, it will be difficult to command the crowd and convince people.

However, Zuo Lengchan has always been very scheming, and he presumably has other means in reserve.

Sure enough, Zuo Lengchan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, Master Fangzheng will come. Come up to the mountain with me to pay respects, everyone."

Hearing his confident words, I looked around and saw a slight look of doubt on the faces of everyone in the hall.But everyone present here has been through storms for a long time, and they don't often show their emotions and anger, and because of Zuo Lengchan, no one asked them face to face.Everyone got up with him and walked out of the main hall. Zuo Lengchan gave a few instructions to the Songshan disciples standing by the door, and then walked up the mountain slowly with all the sect masters.

Looking back from the long stairs of Shaoshi Mountain, I saw countless dark figures moving between the mountains and fields under the setting sun, and I felt a little scary for no reason.Suddenly, in the slanting afterglow of the setting sun, some soundless things were falling down little by little, sliding down quickly, somewhat blurred in the dim light, they were actually snowflakes.

It was cold all of a sudden.But people in the martial arts have internal strength to protect their bodies, and they are not afraid of the cold, so no one said a word.When I waited for everyone to reach the top of the mountain, I saw flying snow falling, and the red lacquered gate of Shaolin Temple was abnormally closed.Zuo Lengchan nodded slightly, and a disciple of the Songshan School stepped forward and clacked the lion's head.The copper ring hit the wooden door, making a dull sound that echoed around.

Then I heard an old voice slowly coming from inside: "Amitabha, I, Shaolin, are very honored to visit the leader of the left. However, the poor monk has ignored the affairs of the Jianghu for a long time, and the leader of the left, please come back."

Zuo Lengchan showed no signs of disbelief, and said, "Master Abbot's heart is devoted to Buddhism and Taoism, and he is a master outside the world. I admire Songshan School very much. But Zuo has a question, but I don't know if the master can explain it."

He suddenly raised his voice and asked: "Since the master is dedicated to seeking Buddha, why did he allow the demon cult thieves in the temple? Wouldn't it pollute the pure land of your temple?"

All of a sudden, there was complete silence all around.From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside of Shaoshi Mountain, there are at least 3000 or [-] people in the orthodox church, but no one made a sound, and when someone wanted to speak, they retracted their words to the edge of their mouths.It seems that only the soft and unusual sound of snowflakes falling on the leaves and bushes can be heard.I couldn't help thinking in my heart: "But I don't know what Linghu Chong is doing right now?"

(This paragraph is partially excerpted from the original work, with deletions)

The author has something to say: the ambitious left leader is actually the biggest tragedy in this book (spoiler is dead)

There is a foreshadowing, who killed the two masters?

No.40 Nine Sections

I saw snow and catkins, and a long sigh came from the haze.

Zuo Lengchan's words were as sharp as a sharp blade, echoing in the mountains and forests, which immediately made me feel scared.Shaolin in the south and Wudang in the north are both Taishan Beidou of martial arts.Shaolin Temple has been the sacred place of orthodox martial arts for thousands of years, but according to his words, it has become a place where traitors and villains are hidden, wouldn't it be unbelievable.

But thoughts flashed through my mind quickly, and I recalled that Linghu Chong had accidentally mentioned that after Heimuya's assassination failed, before Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were forced to leave, he secretly told him to go to Shaolin Temple.Could it be that Zuo Lengchan was referring to the two of them?But this secret, except for Linghu Chong who mentioned it to me in private, there are no rumors in the world, so how could he know a thing or two.

My thoughts swirled like clouds in my heart, and suddenly I heard a "squeak", and I held my breath for a look, only to see the heavy door that was closed in front of me slowly open.My heart tightened, Shaolin Temple actually opened the gate!There was silence all around, and as the mountain gate opened wide, an old monk wearing cassocks and described as thin appeared in the field of vision, who was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Fangzheng.

Standing in the snow, he was as thin as a pine tree, with a white beard over his chest, he raised his hand and gave a palm towards this side. Everyone bowed and bowed in salute. They all returned the salute solemnly, and no one dared to be disrespectful.Seeing this most respected senior in the martial arts world again, I can't help feeling a little bit of respect in my heart.When I was young, Master Fang Zheng once visited Huashan, and my master treated him solemnly.When the two were talking, I had the honor to stand aside, holding the sword as a disciple.At that time, Master Fangzheng was already a well-known eminent monk who attained the Tao, but I was just an unknown disciple of the younger generation.It's just that the time flies so fast, and later, the Huashan sword qi battle and the Wuyue sword sect's infighting had no chance to be seen again.

Now when I visit Shaolin again, I never expected that it will be like this when we meet again.

I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.There are very few people my master has praised in his life, but he never concealed his admiration for Master Fangzheng's character and martial arts in front of me.The two of them have known each other for a long time, if my master was alive, he would be at this age.It's just that the things of the previous generation, after all, will be destroyed with things and people, and will be wiped out. What is left is only a few memories and some unstructured legends.

Master Fangzheng said: "It's cold in the winter night, let's all the heroes enter the temple and tell a story." Zuo Lengchan led the way and walked into the temple gate.I raised my head slightly, subconsciously exchanged glances with the people beside me, and then followed suit.

It was dark already.On both sides of the stone path in Shaolin Temple, monks holding lanterns can be seen everywhere, standing in the snow with round sticks, bowing their heads and silently.When my group passed by, none of them looked up with curiosity.For thousands of years in Shaoshi Mountain, it is not common for people from all over the temple to wait for it like this.However, there are so many monks standing beside the road, and the firmness of their hearts can be seen in their expressions, which make people's hearts tremble and they dare not be presumptuous.From this short [-]-step distance, we can also get a glimpse of the strong strength of the Putian Shaolin Temple, the largest school of the righteous way.

All the way to the brightly lit Daxiong Palace, you will see a golden Buddha with a solemn and solemn appearance.In the depths of the hall behind the Buddha statues, there are eight statues of King Ming, with ferocious faces and sinister eyebrows.I looked around, everyone's expressions were serious, and even the air seemed to have a hint of evil spirit and tension.

Master Fangzheng turned around, saluted my group, and said: "The poor monk should sweep the couch and wait for the visits of the chivalrous masters. It's just that the leader of the left alliance asked for something, but it made the poor monk very difficult." I looked carefully, and saw Master Fangzheng's kind face, with a hint of compassion, his long beard was stained with snowflakes, his shoulders were covered with slightly deep water stains after the snow melted, and his cassock was old. Compared with Zuo Lengchan, the simplicity is so striking.

He sang the Buddha's name and continued to ask: "But I don't know where the left leader knows the two benefactors?"

Hearing this, I was startled, then sank again, and became serious.Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian are really in Shaolin Temple!However, after Ren Woxing returned to Heimuya and failed to seize power a few years ago, although Dongfang Bubai let him go, because of his status in the Demon Cult, it was definitely impossible to take him in.However, the two of them didn't live in seclusion in the mountains like Liu Zhengfeng and Quyang, so why did they come to Shaolin Temple all the way?Listening to the abbot's address to the two of them, they must have never shaved their hair to become monks.Since the two of them were not discouraged and wanted to become monks, how did they stay in the righteous Taishan Beidou sect? Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

But at this critical moment, it was a coincidence that Zuo Lengchan found out about it.

Zuo Lengchan didn't answer, but smiled faintly, but said: "Master, listen to what Zuo said. Righteousness and evil have always been inseparable, not to mention that the two of them have committed so many crimes that there are too many to write.
