stand out from the crowd

I had doubts in my heart, so I told Linghu Chong to be more respectful and polite if he meets that senior next time.It's just that although Linghu Chong often went to the back mountain to watch the sword, he never met that senior again.I couldn't help but vaguely understand that he must not want me to know his identity, so it's just a temptation.After a long time, I was overwhelmed with the big and small matters in the door, which took up a lot of my mind and even forgot about it.

In today's world martial arts structure, the Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Wuyue sword sects are the most powerful.Although the struggle among the Huashan sect made the strength not as good as before, the Wuyue Sword Sect has always been united, and the second-rate sects such as the Qingcheng sect did not dare to take the opportunity to bully the sect. On behalf of my master, I am temporarily in charge of the sect, and it is time to reorganize the affairs of the sect.

One year since the great change in the sect, although it cannot be said that Huashan has overcome the difficulties safely, but with one thing on the right track, the sect members have gradually settled down, which is much better than the original panic.

But the common affairs at the foot of the mountain are much worse. Except for some of the farms and pavements of the direct descendants, which are well preserved, there are a lot of changes in the output of the fields under Huashan.I know very well that there are as many sects as gadflies coveting the interests of the Huashan sect, and even the other four sects of the Wuyue Sword sect may not really be "connected with each other".Taking advantage of this opportunity to plant eyeliners and plunder the land, if the other four factions of the Five Sacred Mountains say that they have not done anything, no one will believe it.

It's just that it is important to preserve Huashan's strength this time, so I watched these people take advantage of the fire to rob, but if they crossed the bottom line, I naturally greeted them with my sword without hesitation.I keep in mind the teachings of the master back then, saying that the principle of being a human being is that you can take a step back and endure temporarily, but you should not step back again and again to show your cowardice.Temporarily forbearance is an expedient measure, but cowardice will only be bullied by others.The same is true for sects.After I took the shot again and again, or hibernating or having concerns, the other factions gradually stopped and calmed down.

But I also know that such peace is only temporary.

Walking along the path and stepping into a forest behind the house, I raised my head slightly, and saw the twilight sun shining from the shade of the forest. On a bluestone in the depths of the forest, facing me, a child of six or seven years old was sitting upright. .The child is in a standard posture with his heart turned to the sky, his eyes are slightly closed, a wooden sword is placed in front of him, and he is contemplating enlightenment.

I was secretly relieved, and called out: "Chong'er."

Linghu Chong immediately opened his eyes and looked at me, I walked towards him slowly, he hurriedly got up, and politely saluted me: "Master."

I patted his head and casually asked him a few words about the way of swordsmanship. Seeing that he answered eloquently, he was obviously deep in thought, so I secretly nodded and praised him.Linghu Chong was very happy at once, and he smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, which made me a little helpless, thinking to myself whether I treated him a little harshly on weekdays.

I said to him again: "Master, I have to go down the mountain tomorrow, the journey is long. Chong'er, you must listen to your second and third uncles."

Linghu Chong grabbed my hand and asked pitifully, "When will Master come back?"

My heart was soft, and I led him back to the house, and replied in a low voice: "This time is no different than the previous few times, it will take some time to come back." Every time Linghu Chong knew that I was going down the mountain, he would show reluctance and reluctance His demeanor made me feel happy for his admiration and closeness, but also deeply headache for his rare clinginess.It's just that Linghu Chong is still a child, and the martial arts are extremely dangerous, how dare I take him down the mountain at the risk of danger.I think back to the first time when I found out that I was leaving the mountain, this boy cried a lot, so he finally let go of my sleeves, which were half wet with his tears.After returning to the mountain, Qingsong told me that during the few days I left the mountain, Linghu Chong stared blankly at the foot of the mountain every day, as if waiting for me to come back.

Since then, I have tried my best to speed up my affairs when I descended the mountain, so that I can get back to the mountain quickly.I know that Linghu Chong regards me in his heart as his only family member, his only reliance, how can I not be moved by such a child's soft emotions.As I grew closer to him, I knew he was becoming more and more distant from the person in the story.He is a well-behaved boy who will hold my hand and act like a baby, not a knight-errant who is proud of the Jianghu with a hint of eternal melancholy in the story.

"Master, come back earlier." Linghu Chong said sullenly.

I lowered my head and saw that he was holding the wooden sword tightly in his right hand, and the broken black hair on his forehead was dyed a delicate golden layer under the sunlight.He didn't look up at me, I knew he must be very unhappy, but his precocious and delicate thoughts prevented him from expressing his reluctance.I responded in a low voice, feeling somewhat uncomfortable for some reason.

In the afternoon, when I was dealing with common affairs at the Unknown House, Ji Qian came in hurriedly and said to me: "Brother, a village under the Songzhou Prefecture was slaughtered three days ago. A few days ago, someone reported seeing any I'll do it, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Demon Cult. And that village is located at the junction of Mount Hua and Mount Song, so I'm afraid I need to invite Senior Brother to go down the mountain."

Mount Hua is located in the west of the Five Sacred Mountains, bordering on Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, and Mount Song in China and Vietnam.The demon sect lair is located in the east of Mount Heng, in the territory of Hebei. Although this is not known to ordinary martial arts people, it is not a secret for the mainstay of the martial arts.The Demon Cult has always acted secretly and viciously, offending many righteous sects and being hostile to others. Naturally, the Huashan sect also has secret eyeliners.

I asked, "Is there any member of the Songshan School?"

Ji Qian said worriedly: "A letter came from Songshan, saying that they also sent people to investigate, and said that it should not be too late. Brother, I heard that the leader of the Demon Sect has changed a few days ago. Could it be that the new director of the sect, I Xing, took office..."

I waved my hand, interrupted his words with a sullen face, and said, "Don't make wild guesses. I will investigate clearly after I go down the mountain."

Thinking that the Devil's Cult might be involved, I couldn't help feeling heavy in my heart.In the past year, I have achieved a small degree of success in practicing "Zixia Gong", and I dare not let the swordsmanship go to waste for a day.But if this matter really involves the Demon Cult, then it is not only the matter of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, I am afraid that all righteous ways in the world will have their feet mixed up.There will be turmoil in the martial arts world, and there will be no peace anymore.

Although the masters and uncles kept silent about the reason why the Huashan sect split into two sects, the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, I vaguely knew that this had something to do with the Demon Sect.Later, the two sects held their own opinions, and finally the water and fire could not be redeemed, but this is a secret matter in the sect after all, and I am too young to know about it.

Thinking of this, I sighed slightly again.He patted Linghu Chong's shoulder, and instructed him carefully like the previous few times.Linghu Chong nodded and agreed one by one, his amber pupils were clear.Such a look actually made me feel a deep feeling of protecting the calf in my heart. No matter what, a child like Linghu Chong should not be involved in the wind and rain of the martial arts.I hugged him tightly, and for the first time felt the heavy responsibility of being a master on my shoulders.

The next morning, I went down the mountain.From the foot of Mount Hua, it takes two days to ride horses to Songzhou City.At this moment, the breeze is slightly smoky, and the spring is gradually velvety. I rode away to the east.Occasionally, large and small caravans can be seen on the road, escort agencies for escorts, boundless mountains on both sides, or fertile fields with young crops, and migratory birds returning from the south settle on the branches, which is a peaceful scene.

At present, it has reached the middle and late stages of the Ming Dynasty, and the accumulated accumulation is hard to return, and it is exhausted.Although people in the martial arts are taboo against court, the livelihood of the local people is closely related to the survival of the sect.The imperial court's land tax reform has been going on for quite a while, but in the end, the top and bottom are not in agreement, and the people are still tenants and mediocre, and the powerful and powerful are divided.In the villas all over the mountains and plains, although the fields are cultivated by the common people, they are not owned by the common people, and are dominated by one person other than the country gentry.How difficult people's livelihood is.

I pulled back my thoughts, and the Master's teachings suddenly appeared in front of my eyes: "The first is to establish virtue, the second is to make meritorious service, and the second is to establish words."After all, I am a small person, and changing my fate against the sky is a big event; not to mention the fate of the dynasty, saving the lives of the common people, these unrealistic dreams have never been imagined by me.However, as a man of three feet, whatever I can do, I have to do it on my own, not in vain of the teachings of my master and master, not in vain of my reincarnation in this world.

When we arrived at Songzhou City, it was late in the sky, and the gray stone brick walls cast heavy shadows under the setting sun.Lamps are lit in the streets and alleys, people in the alleys are burning smoke, the flow of people in the city is still bustling, and behind the hustle and bustle of tranquility there is a little bit of tension hidden, with a vague taste of being on the verge of breaking out.The people in the city already know that a village in the south of the city was brutally massacred, 170 people were killed, and the government has sent people here urgently.My identity is sensitive. If I want to investigate this matter, I must avoid the government.

Leading the horse to an inn, I glanced at the engraved sign of the five mountains on the lintel, and walked in.The shopkeeper was about to greet me, when he saw the black sheathed sword hanging from my waist, the smile on his face was even more full, with a touch of caution. "Yue Shaoxia, this way please."

I knew he recognized my identity, and I was about to go upstairs with him, but I heard someone at the table behind me shouting loudly: "Talking about the Five Mountains Sword School, God Son, in my opinion, it is the Four Mountains Sword School, this Huashan Where there is still strength on par, it is just relying on the other four factions."

My face turned cold, and there was a trace of anger in my heart.It would be fine if the words were said elsewhere, but in the inn under Wuyue's jurisdiction, this is a naked slap in the face.Since I bumped into him, as a big brother of Huashan's generation, I definitely won't bear it.Otherwise, if it spreads to the ears of the other four sects, wouldn't it be that I am a weak and deceitful person.

Regardless of the shopkeeper's sudden change of expression, I turned around, and just happened to see his companion with a smile: "No, not to mention that it is inferior to the Qingcheng faction. In my opinion, I am afraid that even, hehe, our Shamang gang They are all comparable.”

Hearing this, I was filled with anger, and immediately flew forward, drew my sword out of its sheath, the silver light that cut iron like mud lay across his neck, and said coldly: "Try to say it again."

I moved very quickly, since I came to the table, kicked his stool away, and drew the sword in one go, all the eyes of others were attracted, and the hall became a little quiet.

Another Qingcheng sect boy in Tsing Yi shouted recklessly: "Who are you, how dare you do this again? Heh, you know who we are. We are so presumptuous. I, Qingcheng sect, want you to look good."

I laughed back in anger: "If you have any means, just use them, I, Yue Buqun, will wait for you."

The author has something to say: I was so stupid that I got into a small black room, I was so stupid that I let the computer anti-virus go to QUQ...choose your hands...

Section Five

Although the Qingcheng School has been established for a hundred years, it has always been inferior to the Five Sacred Mountains and Emei. However, after the Huashan internal struggle, the school's strength has been greatly reduced, and it has fallen from the position of the top of the Five Sacred Mountains.Although the other sects did not dare to provoke publicly, they spoke disrespectfully in private, Huashan and I had to bear it because of the situation, so the members of his sect became more and more complacent.It's just that the Qingcheng faction is fighting for power, and what is this Shamang gang that dares to compare with my Huashan.

After I declared my family name, the gazes in the lobby suddenly became complicated, some were passionate, some were stunned, and some were purely speculative.The two of the Qingcheng faction had obviously heard of my name, and when they looked a bit ugly, their eyes flickered when they heard the titles like "Gentlemen's Sword" whispered in the lobby.

"Why? The mighty Qingcheng faction dared to insult me ​​Huashan, but in front of my Huashan sword, they dared not speak up?" I still said coldly, staring at the three people sitting stiffly at the table.Seeing the angry look on the face of a member of the Qingcheng faction, I immediately moved my steps and adjusted my posture calmly.

Sure enough, he slapped the table and stood up, sneered and said: "You guys have done the things in Huashan Gate, so we can't talk about it?"

When I saw that he had been hit by an aggressive general, I sneered, and with a move of "Baiyun Chuxiu", I broke the arm of the unknown Shamang sect member, and kicked him to the entrance of the lobby in a swift and flowing manner. He: "My Huashan is also worthy of your discussion? To discuss, and ask about the sword in my hand!"

The rivers and lakes pay attention to disagreement and draw swords against each other.Even though I have a calm and indifferent personality, the master of Huashan School cannot be an indifferent gentleman.I can be calm and benevolent, but I also have to abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and be happy with the enemy. The so-called killing a person in ten steps does not stop a thousand miles away. This kind of heroism and grandeur is the reflection of the rivers and lakes.Rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes, are people's rivers and lakes after all.

Seeing that I didn't give them any face, the two disciples of the Qingcheng School raised their brows angrily, and drew out their swords together: "I want to learn the 'Gentleman's Sword' trick!"

I saw that they were about the same age as me, and they dared to travel down the mountain. I thought they were rookies of the Qingcheng School.I have already gained fame by walking the rivers and lakes, and they must secretly not agree in their hearts.Young people are full of vigor and are more likely to be provoked. If I tease him a little bit, he will get into the trap all at once, and it is hard to get off at the moment.I was about to make an example to the monkeys, to warn the Qingcheng faction, and even the other sects who were watching secretly.

Huashan can't be bullied!

The two of them looked at each other, let out a low drink, and used the move "Pingsha Luoyan" towards me.I turned over and got behind the two of them, and said with a loud smile: "Is it the Qingcheng faction's usual practice to fight two against one?" When I turned back to greet each other with my sword, I caught a glimpse of the flushed faces of the two from the corner of my eye, and knew that they were already friends. Extremely angry.It's just that the Qingcheng faction is no more reckless than reckless after all, although the two are angry in their hearts, they still calmly make moves, and the sword light strikes each other, which is melodious.With one against two, I temporarily gained the upper hand.However, even though I was in the center of the sword shadow, I was not in a hurry, and sneered secretly in my heart: "If my heart is disturbed, how can my sword skills not be chaotic."

Sure enough, my sword took a slant, relying on the "Golden Goose Horizontal Sky" change, the sword was suddenly sharp and tricky, they panicked, their swordsmanship and footsteps were chaotic, and they could no longer maintain their resistance.I also don't have the intention to fight with them, and I will be merciless when I make a move.I calmly said: "I will let you know about this sword, stop talking nonsense in Jianghu!" I cut off a man's thumb with one sword, he let out a pained cry, threw the sword and knelt down on the ground.Everyone's expressions changed slightly, my sword was extremely subtle, the blade cut off his thumb but did not hurt his palm.It's just a broken thumb, his right hand can no longer use a sword, and he has become a half useless person. He has spoken rudely to Huashan again and again, and I will not keep my sympathy.

I drew up my long sword, dodged the other person's sword flower sideways, kicked my feet, flew over his head, and cut off the hairpin tassel on his head with a move of "Heavenly Gentleman Hanging Upside Down".When I stood still and turned around, I saw that he couldn't maintain his balance, he took two steps back, leaned his back on the table, his long hair without a tie fell down, and he was extremely embarrassed, looking at me with horror and fear in his eyes.

I put away the sword with a "chuckle" and said loudly: "This sword, I let you know that my affairs in Huashan's inner sect should not be rumored by outsiders!"

"I, Huashan, and the Qingcheng faction have always had a good relationship, but you listened to some crooked remarks and talked indiscriminately, which hurt the friendship between the two factions. This is just one thing. Hurt me, Huashan, but I don’t know my mistakes, and I don’t admit my mistakes. This is two things. Talk behind the scenes and not Dare to speak face to face, lose your dignified and dignified demeanor, but act like that villain, this is three times! I have taught you these three times on behalf of your master, I hope you can do it yourself."

His face turned red and white, he was extremely humiliated, but he had no choice but to accept my lesson.In front of everyone, my peers reprimanded them like an elder. This time the Qingcheng faction lost all face and face.But just now I have been merciful, as long as the sword is barely lowered by three inches, what he will lose is not the crown, but the head.

There was silence in the hall, I snorted coldly, and was about to leave here, when I just turned around, I heard a person clapping his hands and saying:

"What a 'gentleman's sword'! What an 'imposing and dignified demeanor', it is really impressive."

I turned my head to follow the sound, and saw a young man smiling and walking towards me leisurely. He was dressed in a plain robe with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his admiration remained in his eyes.It's just that my eyes turned to the folded hands on his chest, and I felt a slight twitch in my heart.Those were a pair of unusually clean and slender hands, very stable, with thin calluses on the palms and finger pads, I subconsciously clenched the sword tightly and looked at his appearance.

This is a person who has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, and his swordsmanship must not be inferior to me.To observe a swordsman, you only need to observe three aspects, one is his hands, a pair of hands with a sword is different.The second is his footsteps, the comer's footsteps are calm, he can't see his body skills, but he is silent, his internal strength must be high and strong.Not only swordsmen, but the level of internal strength of ordinary martial arts masters can also be judged from their footsteps.

Three, his eyes.The sword intent is clear, and the swordsmanship of those who are upright and dignified in the depths of the eyes must follow the right path, and the swordsmanship must be upright and upright; Seeing as hazy as fog, like him, swordsmanship must be... like drizzle, like mist, entering everywhere, attacking through every hole.

He has a handsome face, a slender figure, and his gestures are full of grand demeanor. He seems to be from a famous family.But those eyes were extremely deep, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and they were too majestic, which made me a little frightened.He chose to come out at such a time. If he didn't have a purpose, I wouldn't believe it at all.

Suddenly there was a smile in his eyes, he bowed, and the spring breeze said: "Brother Yue, you don't even know me. I am Songshan Zuo Lengchan." He turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, and his voice was still enthusiastic: "Brother Yue These people please go out, my shop of Wuyue Sword Sect can’t accommodate these big Buddhas.” Seeing the shopkeeper standing up, I obediently invited the two Qingcheng Sect members out, and dragged the man who fell on the ground out , seemed to obey his orders to the utmost, and dared not disobey him in the slightest.

He looked at me with a smile on his face: "I've heard about Brother Yue's name for a long time, but I never met him. When we met today, I realized that Junzijian really lives up to its name. It's true, it's true..."

I looked at him coldly, pretending not to know what he said.But although I didn't show any expression on my face, I was secretly shocked, Zuo Lengchan really deserved to be the leader of Songshan's generation of martial arts, it seems that the person Songshan sent this time is him.In the past, my master once casually mentioned that in my generation, the one who will achieve the highest swordsmanship in the future will be Zuo Lengchan from the Songshan School, Liu Zhengfeng from the Hengshan School, and me from Huashan.It's just that from my first glance, Zuo Lengchan's strength is not inferior to mine, and his practice of swordsmanship is very different from mine, so he must be a very difficult opponent.

Thinking of this, the fighting spirit brought about by the sword fight that I hadn't enjoyed just now faintly rose again, but I couldn't help but feel a little regretful thinking that it was not the right time after all.I lowered my eyes to hide the excitement in my heart, and when I looked up again, I resumed my usual motionlessness.

Zuo Lengchan said: "Almost forgot, Brother Yue came here in a hurry, I think he hasn't eaten yet. Zuo has already prepared for himself, so I would like to ask Brother Yue to show you." After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation and invited me to go upstairs .

really.But I don't know if this will be a Hongmen banquet, and who will be that Xiang Yu and Pei Gong.Although I don't like such hypocrisy in my heart, but due to my status, I have long been used to similar politeness. After a change of heart, I saved the idea of ​​dismissing the tricks, nodded back and said: "It's like this. Forgive Senior Brother Zuo."

Zuo Lengchan led me into a secluded and unobtrusive private room upstairs. I saw two wine glasses and two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. It seems that besides Yue, Senior Brother Zuo invited other people?"

Zuo Lengchan said: "No. Brother Yue guessed wrong, today there are only you and my senior brother. What's more, can't one person 'look at each other'?"

Although his words were eloquent and he used Li Taibai's allusions, he was so sharp that he guessed my thoughts and responded to my temptation skillfully.I stopped talking and sat down with him, but I was secretly jealous of his deep scheming.Although, according to the time calculation, I should be able to reach Songzhou in these two days, but it is impossible for him to know the specific time of my arrival.And in order not to miss it, he must have prepared every meal in advance after he came to Songzhou... It's a good excuse to have a photo with each other.

"Brother Zuo is very elegant." I responded indifferently.

Zuo Lengchan didn't care, presumably he had already heard about my personality, so he called the servants to serve the food, brought out the hot wine, and put on an enthusiastic appearance of cleaning up the dust for me.But I naturally understand that he has waited for me for several meals, and now he is finally paid, so it is not just for the sake of cleansing the dust.

Zuo Lengchan said: "Brother Yue, is this the first time you have come to Songzhou?"

I nodded slightly.

Zuo Lengchan said: "It's just right, but Zuo has been here many times. Although I can't say that I know this Song Prefecture well, I am very familiar with it. I should do my best as a landlord. Come, please!" In between, he actually put himself in the main position.

I ordered a glass of wine.He smiled apologetically and said: "I'm afraid that the affairs in the door are cumbersome, and Yue has no intention of enjoying the scenery in the spring, which is a waste of Brother Zuo's heart." I politely declined his invitation, and saw a trace of pity flashing across his face. I don't know if it is a pity that the time is too short to further test the situation of Huashan through me, or it is due to other reasons.

I actually don't like what's in the glass, Zuo Lengchan chose to call it aged wine, and now I've poured down several glasses of wine, although it's impossible to get drunk, my face is already a little burnt.Listening to his persuasion of "meeting fate" and the like, I can't help but frown slightly.Fortunately, after all, I have some cities, which have not been revealed clearly. It's just that Zuo Lengchan doesn't know what the purpose is, and he pretends not to know. .

The author has something to say: Zuo Lengchan is the male supporting role (the spoiler is dead).It is said that the appearances of the two uncles who played Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan in the Hong Kong version made me blush. .

Section VI

After thirty days of drinking, he finally asked about the village outside the city.

Hearing his sudden question, all my drunkenness dissipated at the moment, I lowered my head slightly to conceal the change in my face, and said, "Yue doesn't know much."

Zuo Lengchan said: "That's right, I didn't get any news from the Songshan School. The incident happened too suddenly, and Qiujia Village is located in the core of the Five Mountains. Unless someone deliberately covers it up, it is impossible not to be discovered." He said The pronunciation of the word "deliberately" is emphasized, which seems to indicate something.

I twitched my eyebrows and said, "If you want to tell me, I only heard that someone in Songzhou City found Ren Woxing two days before the incident happened." I suddenly raised my head, and there was a flash of shock in his eyes. Although the color was quickly covered up, it was finally captured by me.My mind wondered, could it be that the Songshan sect had nothing to do with the Demon Cult, but on second thought, I denied this inference.If the Demon Sect was implicated, how could the Songshan Sect send Zuo Lengchan, the most outstanding disciple among them, down the mountain to deal with the matter.Most likely the Songshan faction made such a guess, but there is no direct evidence.

"Huashan really pays close attention to the affairs of the devil way." Zuo Lengchan sighed pointingly.

I raised my eyebrows, the wine was so alcoholic that I couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.I leaned on my body halfway, and said in a relaxed sitting posture: "People of the righteous way naturally pay close attention to the Devil's Cult."

His words are very playful. It can be seen that Songshan is secretly jealous of Huashan sect's well-informed, and values ​​all kinds of changes in the devil's religion; .Of course, it can also be regarded as pure praise on the surface.At the moment, I don't bother to understand what he means.Now that I have achieved the purpose of beating him, I can eat my own food, and he also tactfully skipped this topic, and talked about swordsmanship as I liked.

I have always had the habit of practicing swords early in the morning. For more than ten years, no matter whether it is cold, hot, rainy or snowy, I have not stopped every day, and I dare not relax in the slightest.This inn is located in the east of the city, and there is a forest behind it. I found a clearing in the forest and tried to figure out the sword moves that the two Qingcheng faction made yesterday.

The morning mist pervading the forest dissipated with the rising sun, and the green trees stood tall and green.The thick dry leaves left by the previous autumn are under my feet, and the crisp chirping of morning birds is heard by my ears, accompanied by the whistling of sword lights. This kind of scenery has always been my favorite.

Zuo Lengchan debated with me a few words about kendo yesterday. Although it was just a taste, it inevitably made me feel a sense of relief in some of the rough parts of kendo.I suddenly put aside the moves I was going to make, and started to practice Huashan's most basic sword moves.After I finished using it, I heard a chuckle from behind: "Brother Yue pursues the way of swordsmanship with sincerity, which Zuo deeply admires."

I put away my sword, raised my hand to wipe away the morning dew from the corners of my brows and eyes, and saluted, "Senior Brother Zuo praises you."

Watching people practice martial arts in secret is a big taboo in the world, but Wuyue is said to be from the same school, I have to call Zuo Lengchan my brother, and I can't be regarded as an outsider.And the moment I noticed someone was there, I switched to the basic move that everyone in the Huashan School knew, but it didn't make him notice much.I don't want to worry about such trivial matters, so Zuo Lengchan naturally won't tell the truth.He looked me up and down, and said: "The matter of Songzhou cannot be delayed, and the matter should not be delayed. Zuo felt that it is better to wait for the two of us to finish our breakfast, and then go to Qiujia Village to find out. I don't know what brother Yue thinks?"

I nodded and said: "It's so good." I didn't take care of my appearance carefully when I was practicing swords in the morning, and I didn't want to talk to him more, so I went back to my room to change my clothes, changed my white practice clothes, tied my long hair, and picked up the sword. The black sheath sword went downstairs.As expected, Zuo Lengchan was already waiting at a table, he smiled when he saw me.I secretly sighed in my heart, he has an extraordinary appearance, he comes from a famous family with decent martial arts skills, sitting by the window like this, smiling lightly, I don't know how many women in the martial arts world he can charm.

After breakfast was so quiet, the two of us left the inn.In order to avoid the government's investigators, our trip cannot be aboveboard, but we need to cover up a little bit, Zuo Lengchan naturally understands this.Although there has always been a rule of "no entry into the forest" in the martial arts, but the two of us join forces, we are confident and not afraid of danger.We chose a remote trail and headed southward with light kung fu.The journey was not short, neither he nor I took a short break, we walked together, and there was no distinction in terms of lightness kung fu.When he arrived in the village, he was still calm and energetic, and I secretly judged his lightness kung fu and agility.

Qiujia Village is built on the mountain, and the two of us came over the mountain. At this moment, we are hiding on a tall tree at the highest place next to the village. Looking carefully, Zuo Lengchan tilted his head and said in a low voice: "It's not good, the government seems to have sealed it off. the whole village."

I frowned slightly, and I could see a general idea from my side.I saw people from the government guarding the crossing, many gates have been closed, the streets and houses in the village have been cleaned up by the officials, the corpses were burned, and there is still a faint smell of burning in the air.In the valley, a few military tents were built on the banks of the small river.

I whispered: "I'm afraid not only the government, but also the guards are stationed in the army. It seems that the people sent here are not small."

The guards are the local troops established by the imperial court, with excellent weapons, and people in the rivers and lakes are unwilling to fight against them.The person they want to protect deliberately is naturally very important to the Chinese court.

But Zuo Lengchan sneered: "So what, it's about martial arts, with these scholars, what can we find out." I kept silent, but sighed inwardly.What Zuo Lengchan said was true.It's about martial arts, and even more about the Devil's Cult, the court really can't do anything about it.

Martial arts and the imperial court have always had nothing to do with each other, and the well water does not violate the river water.But everyone knows that "Xiamen use martial arts to violate the ban, and Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law", so the imperial court will naturally not like the existence of martial arts.However, it is not a secret that Kaiyuan Emperor of the current imperial court was from the Demon Cult.Out of fear, the court advocated civil rule in order to consolidate the rule, and secretly suppressed martial arts, making the Kyushu martial arts rivers and lakes gradually decline.That worked out to be a bad account.

We kept our feet on the ground, cautiously, and circled more than half of the village.After observing carefully for half an hour, the two of us returned to the forest again.Zuo Lengchan asked: "Brother Yue, can you see what is going on?"

I paused, and said, "The ancestral hall in Qiujia Village is not simple."

He said: "Brother Yue has good eyesight. The houses in this village are scattered with different heights. They seem to be scattered, but they are arranged according to the five elements, and the river passes through them, forming the trend of Tai Chi and eight trigrams." The building of the ancestral hall is old, and the scale of the establishment is at least a dozen feet.There are only a few dozen families in Qiujia Village, and there are hundreds of people, but there is such a large ancestral hall, which is really strange.At the moment, I was so quiet that I could listen to him talking. "And the yin and yang fish eyes in Bagua Village are the ancestral hall that brother Yue mentioned, and the lover's pond."

I remembered that opposite to the ancestral hall in the distance, there was indeed a water pool, and there were many concentric locks hanging on the bridge across the water pool. appropriate.

Zuo Lengchan continued: "This strange art of Dunjia is profound and obscure, but there is one thing that remains the same, that is, reality and reality are intertwined. The two places must have one reality and one reality. People in Shuitan Village often have to communicate, so it must be It’s an empty place. The ancestral hall is just the opposite, only once a year to worship the ancestors, and no one goes there on weekdays. Therefore, our purpose should be in the ancestral hall.”

I just hit it right, but I didn't know that there was such a big name in it.But this village was designed to look like gossip and Tai Chi for no reason, which is unusual: "Senior Brother Zuo seems to know a thing or two about the secrets? I wonder if you can tell Yue Mou clearly?"

With just a few words, he skipped over other houses and buildings in the village, intending to go straight to the ancestral hall.I couldn't help feeling suspicious, but Zuo Lengchan seemed unwilling to say more.I secretly grew my mind, I am afraid that what he said before is both false and true, and I have to discount it.I don't know what the Songshan School is planning behind the scenes.

He said: "Brother Yue, Qiu's Village is now blocked by the government, if the two of us want to go and have a look, we should lure the officers and soldiers away."But because of the fear in my heart, I would not agree to the two of them working separately, so I proposed a compromise method. The two went to the other side of the village together to make some noise and divert the attention of the villagers.

He sarcastically said: "It's just that, Brother Yue, the time it takes for the officers and soldiers to react. The time we can stay in the village is only one hour."

I said: "If you don't get anything for an hour, then you can look again at night." But what I thought in my heart was that although the building of this ancestral hall is out of place, it is not outrageous. Time is also in vain.

Zuo Lengchan shrugged his shoulders, looking like that.It made me wonder whether he had guessed my reaction a long time ago, and felt cheated for a moment.After deciding on a plan, the two of us used local materials and picked some dead wood and pine branches.Behind the tents beside the river, there are several firewood houses. It has been rainy in Henan for the past few days, and the houses in the village are made of wood, which is easy to catch fire.What the two of us were fighting was to forge the idea that the houses in the village would spontaneously ignite and leak water.

When the sun was up, Zuo Lengchan and I used the dry food, and acted according to the plan, taking advantage of the chaos in the government, we were able to enter the ancestral hall smoothly.This building is indeed a little strange, as soon as you step into the hall, there is a sense of coolness, the sun is shining brightly outside, but the inside is dark and hard to distinguish.The lobby is extremely spacious and tall. As soon as you enter the door, there is an unknown tall statue, which looks like the Great Ming King of Buddhism.I was shocked.

Zuo Lengchan suddenly smashed a plaque on the top of the statue with his sword, and after the torn pieces of wood fell down, a line of words was revealed—Sun and Moon God Sect, must be cursed to perish.The four characters "must be cursed to perish" were painted with brand new red paint, and it was barely recognizable.Seeing this horoscope, Zuo Lengchan and I couldn't help but fell silent.

He murmured: "It seems that this matter is true."

The author has something to say: Is it my illusion... Where does it feel...(￣﹏￣;)

Section Seven

I couldn't help thinking of Ren Woxing's visit to Songzhou, which was definitely inseparable from the disaster here.And the only one who will destroy the words of the curse is the Demon Cult.

Thinking that people from the Devil's Cult had been here, the two of us were even more careful, but looking around, in the empty hall, there was nothing but incense stands and statues, and even the futons were nowhere to be found.The two of us now came to the back hall, which is supposed to enshrine the tablets of the ancestors of the village according to the etiquette, but the table was empty, presumably it was destroyed by the members of the Demon Cult.
