Chapter 9 The eighth round of the sword competition in the forest, the crane in the cloud, and the heart-to-heart talk in the Fengsheng Temple.

It is said that Zhou Chun heard cries for help in the courtyard, so he quickly jumped into the room and looked into the courtyard with his eyes.I saw a monk in the courtyard, holding a saber in his hand, threatening a woman, saying: "I have taken a fancy to you today, it is your great fortune. You just follow me to Ciyun Temple quickly, and you will not enjoy it." If you don't obey me, I'm going to kill you." The woman said: "You go out quickly, my husband Wei Qing is not easy to mess with." After saying that, she called for help twice.The monk was about to strike, Zhou Chun couldn't bear it any longer, so he said, "Don't be so rude, I'll come!" As soon as the words came, the sword also came, and a cold light went straight to the monk's chest as a stab.Seeing that he was coming in such a hurry, the monk couldn't help being startled, he strode out, dropped the saber in his hand, picked up the Zen staff beside him, and rushed to return it.After fighting for a few rounds, he suddenly let out a strange laugh and said, "Which one do I know? It's you! I've been looking for you for months, and I don't want to meet you here. This is also my good fortune." After all, a Zen stick is like Feidian generally rolls over.Zhou Chun listened to the monk's words and came from a strange direction. After a closer look, it turned out that it was the multi-armed bear Maotai who had been on guard for half a year. He didn't want to accidentally meet here today.Knowing that he has made great progress in the arts, he must not be an opponent.Then he tightened the sword in his hand, made a long snake come out of the hole, and stabbed at Mao Tai's throat.Seeing that the approach was too fierce, the monk couldn't help but dodge.Zhou Chun took this opportunity, jumped out of the circle, and said, "Come on slowly, and fight when you have something to say." Mrs. Mao said, "I'm meeting your enemy, what else do you have to say?" Zhou Chun said: "That's not the way to say it. Thinking back when you were defeated in my hands, I took your life like a slap in the face. It was only because I felt sorry for your martial arts that I let you escape. Who would want you to avenge your kindness and come to seek revenge. You must know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. You I only thought that I could show off my strength after ten years of swordsmanship. You should know that I have also worshiped Huangshan Fanxia Master and Zui Taoist as my teachers. I forgive you for wasting your efforts, and you are not my opponent. You put this girl down as soon as possible, and I will let you go Go; if not, you will not be able to escape justice today." Zhou Chun's words were originally out of thin air.Unexpectedly, Mao listened too much and believed it to be true, so he couldn't help being frightened.I thought to myself: "If Zhou Chunru worships Master Fanxia as his teacher, my swordsmanship must not be his opponent. But I have worked so hard for ten years, and I will not be reconciled if I don't take revenge today." So he said to Zhou Chun: "At the beginning I was defeated by the In your hand, the weapon I used at that time was a knife. Now I have practiced this Zen stick for ten years. You and I don’t need to use swordsmanship to win today. Each of us relies on the weapon in our hands. If I fail again, I will lose my hair and go to the mountains. Don't go back to the world again. What do you think?" Zhou Chun heard that it was exactly what he wanted, so he became a little more courageous, and said, "No matter what the comparison is, I will accompany you." After finishing speaking, the two fought together again.I saw the cold light and the air-conditioning, and the two were exactly the same.Zhou Chun got excited and said, "This place is too small to use force. Do you dare to fight outside with me?" Mrs. Mao said, "I'm going to take your dog's life outside."

At this time, the woman had fled without knowing where to go.The two, one in front and one behind, went from the courtyard to an open space outside the wall, and started to fight again.When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous, and they showed their martial arts all their lives, killing them inextricably.Zhou Chun saw that Mrs. Mao became more and more courageous in killing, and it really wasn't Amon back then.He was also afraid that if he released the flying sword, he would not be an opponent, so he tightened his grip on the sword in his busy schedule.It just so happened that Mrs. Mao made a posture of overwhelming the mountain, and hit him with a Zen stick in the head.Zhou Chun then flashed his body.Mrs. Mao didn't hesitate, turned the other end of the Zen staff quickly, and swept towards Zhou Chun's waist.Zhou Chun saw that the approach was very fierce, so he didn't dare to block it with his sword, so he moved his feet a little and raised his body more than seven or eight feet vertically.Mrs. Mao was overjoyed to see this, and while Zhou Chun was hanging up and hadn't landed on the ground, she swung her Zen staff and swept it across Zhou Chun's feet.Zhou Chun had already expected that he would make such a move, and he didn't hesitate. Before Mao Tai's Zen staff arrived, he put his right foot on top of his left foot, and using the momentum to exert force, not only did he not fall, but he jumped up a few feet instead.This is the kung fu of the superficial touch of water and the flying of swallows in the cloud in the light body method, which is Zhou Chun's unique skill in his life.Mao Tai hit the ground with one stick, and because of too much force, his body couldn't help shaking forward.Zhou Chun suddenly saw a crane coiling in the clouds, and even with his sword leading the people, he jumped straight to the top of Mao Tai.Mrs. Mao yelled "No", hurriedly kicked her feet hard, leaned forward and rushed out. Although she escaped quickly, Zhou Chun's sword tip cut a blood groove four or five inches long on her left arm. , becoming more and more angry.Zhou Chun didn't allow Mao Tai to stand still, and flew towards him with a sword.Like a wild beast, Mao Tai turned around and confronted Zhou Chun desperately.

It was almost dusk at this time, Zhou Chun fought for half a day, knowing that he could not win easily, he suddenly threw his body and danced his sword, forming a sword flower about Zhang Xu long.Mrs. Mao was also suspicious of what kind of stunt he was using, so she concentrated on it for a while.Zhou Chun took the opportunity and ran away.Seeing the enemy fleeing, Mrs. Mao was willing to give up and hurriedly chased after him.While running, Zhou Chun quietly took out the Lianzhu crossbow and held it in his hand.Seeing Zhou Chun's footsteps slowing down, Mrs. Mao was about to jump forward.Zhou Chun suddenly turned his head, raised his hand, and said, "Go!" He saw a gleam of cold light, and looked straight at Mrs. Mao's door.Knowing that it was a hidden weapon, Mao Tai hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it.Who would have thought that Zhou Chun's lianzhu steel crossbow would have twelve pieces in one shot, if it is not in danger, it is not easy to take it out and use it; if it is used, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, it will be difficult to dodge it.How did Mrs. Mao know how powerful it was? She just dodged the first one, and the arrows shot one after another like locusts.Good Maotai, jump and pick up.When the seventh branch came up, Zhou Chun suddenly fired five arrows at the same time: one for the throat, two for the abdomen, and two for the left and right arms. This is called the Five Plum Blossom Piercing Cloud Crossbow.Ren You Maoda was good at dodging, so he was hit by two arrows: one hit his left arm, it didn't matter; the other just hit his face.It turned out that Mrs. Mao saw that the coming was coming in such a hurry that she couldn't dodge it, so she wanted to catch it with her mouth. Who would have thought that the arrow hit by her left arm was the first, and she wanted to avoid which one. Head, a negligence, broke two front teeth.Immediately, the blood flowed profusely, and the pain was unbearable. I had no choice but to reluctantly turn around and run away.Zhou Chun should have been so proud that he couldn't chase anymore, but seeing that Mao was too injured, he was so happy that he turned around and chased after him.

Mrs. Mao did not dare to fight him with the flying sword because he had listened to Zhou Chun's words that he had worshiped Master Fanxia as his teacher.Later, the two fought for half a day, but they couldn't see the outcome. They were anxious and hated, so they forgot to use their swords.When Mao Tai was injured, Zhou Chun turned around and chased after him, and couldn't help realizing it.I thought: "Since Zhou Chun worships Master Fanxia as his teacher, his sword skills are naturally stronger than mine. I am afraid of him, so I dare not release the sword. His sword skills are better than mine, so why don't I dare to use it? Could it be that there is a fraud in it?" I can’t fall into his tricks, why don’t I try him.” Just as he was thinking, when he looked back, Zhou Chun was not far behind.Then he turned around, took out the Chiyin sword bestowed by the golden Arhat Fayuan, raised his hand, and a yellow light flew towards Zhou Chun.When Zhou Chun was chasing him, he suddenly saw Mrs. Mao turning around. He was afraid that he was going to release the sword. He was regretting that the poor should not chase him. He was too careless, and Mrs. Mao had released the sword light.Zhou Chun knew what was going on, turned around and fled forward like flying.When Mrs. Mao saw it, she knew Zhou Chun's words about worshiping Fanxia as her teacher were all false, and she was fooled by his boss, so she became even angrier, and urged Jian Guang to chase after her.Zhou Chun had already run into a forest, where the sword light passed, branches fell like rain.

At this time, Zhou Chun and Jian Guang were only a few zhang away, so it was extremely dangerous.Knowing that life is inevitable, he had to wait for death with his eyes closed. Seeing that Zhou Chun was on the brink of death, Mrs. Mao couldn't help laughing out loud.At this time, Jian Guang was already on the top of Zhou Chun, and when he fell down, he was about to be decapitated.At the moment when there was no room to send out, suddenly there was a long howling, and a blue light flew down from a tree. It was as fast as lightning, and it just hit the yellow light head-on.When the sky is dark, one is blue and the other is yellow, two sword lights, like dragons flying in the sky, are really beautiful.Mao Taiman thought that Zhou Chunzhun would die under his sword, but suddenly such a tough opponent came out of nowhere, he couldn't help feeling anxious and angry.Zhou Chun was waiting to die with his eyes closed, when suddenly there was no movement for a long while.Looking up, the yellow light has left the top, facing off with a blue light in the sky.Knowing that an expert came to rescue him, he felt certain about it.It's just that in the dark, I can't see where the person who put the sword to save him is.Fortunately, his eyesight was very good, so he focused his eyes on the place where the sword was placed, and saw a Taoist sitting on a big tree not far away.Then he walked over gently, wanting to thank her after killing Mrs. Mao.When he took a closer look, he couldn't help being overjoyed, it turned out that the man was carrying a red gourd, and he vaguely recognized him as the drunken Taoist whom he had been dreaming about for the past few months.Just as he was about to go up to talk to him, the drunken Taoist waved his hand at him suddenly, and Zhou Chun stopped talking.At this time, the yellow light in the sky became smaller and smaller, and the blue light became more dazzling, making a multi-armed bear rubbing his ears and beating his chest so anxiously that he was terrified.At the moment when Mao Tai was in a trance, Zhou Chun took out the hidden weapon in his arms, the featherless migratory locust stone, aimed at Mao Tai's chest, and hit Mao Tai squarely, knocking Mao Tai down.When distracted, the yellow light became lower and smaller, and it seemed extremely dangerous.Suddenly, three or five extremely thin red lines flew over from the southwest sky, and there was a sound of piercing the sky from afar.The drunken Taoist suddenly jumped down from the tree, and whispered to Zhou Chun, "Follow me!" Not allowing Zhou Chun to reply, he penetrated Zhou Chun's flank with one hand, put away his sword light, set Zhou Chun up, and flew towards the road Go to the city.

When Mrs. Mao was sweating, seeing the blue light receding, she felt relieved and quickly took back her sword.Looking at Zhou Chun again, he has disappeared.I still don't know who the opponent is, and I am wondering.Suddenly, a red light flashed in front of him, and there was a person standing in front of him, suspected to be an enemy, who was waiting to strike.The man suddenly said: "My virtuous brother, don't be rude!" Mao Tai took a closer look, it turned out that it was his irresistible friend Fei Tian Yasha Qin Lang, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurried forward to greet him.Qin Lang asked Mrs. Mao why he was here alone.Mrs. Mao will go down the mountain to find Zhou Chun's revenge and live in Ciyun Temple. Today, she met Zhou Chun by chance and was deceived by an arrow. Later, she released the Chiyin Sword to win the victory. Suddenly, someone secretly released a fairy sword to rescue Zhou Chun. , The man who released the sword and Zhou Chun said the words that disappeared for a moment.Qin Lang said: "When I came, I saw blue and yellow sword lights fighting in the woods. I knew that there were people from my own sect who met their opponents here, so they hurried down to help, but who would have escaped. I think they have seen it. It was me, knowing that I was definitely not the opponent, so I fled. Unfortunately, I was one step late, and they fled." Qin Lang was originally the proud disciple of the founder of Huashan Lihuo, relying on his swordsmanship and strength, he did all kinds of evil.The sword he forged was called the Red Spider Sword, and it was extremely powerful.At the beginning, he also worshiped Fa Yuan as his teacher, and the Patriarch Lie Huo was introduced by Fa Yuan, and he and Mrs. Mao were also regarded as brothers of the same school, and the two were very irresistible.When Mrs. Mao saw him coming, the blue light receded. She also thought that the enemy was afraid of Qin Lang, so she thanked Qin Lang for saving her life.Qin Lang said: "I am currently going to Tibet to gather medicine because of the order of my patriarch. Otherwise, I am afraid that this group of swordsmen will not be killed by me. Just now that person fled after looking at the shadow, and finally they are wise. gone."

While he was bragging, he suddenly heard someone nearby say: "Qin Lang, don't be shy! People just look at your worthless master, and they don't even bother to fight against you youngsters, you just You are so shameless, and you are so self-satisfied!" Qin Lang's temperament is like a fire, how can he tolerate that person's ridicule, he can't help being furious, and scolded: "Where is the junior, dare to break the ground when you are too old? Why don't you fight with me? Get out and die!" Before he finished speaking, he smacked his left cheek with a heavy mouth, making Qin Lang sparks.Just as he was about to turn around to meet the enemy, he looked around, but there was no sign of the man.In front of Mrs. Mao, she was ashamed and anxious.Then he scolded: "You bastard, you are counting people in the dark, you are not a hero. If you have the ability, come out and compete with me?" The man suddenly replied, "Who is counting people in the dark? I am right in front of you You spent decades learning Taoism in the mountains, don’t you see it?” Qin Lang became even more annoyed when he heard this, and planned to answer the question with the man, listen to the direction the man was standing in, and cut him with the flying sword.So he pretended not to mind, and replied: "My eyesight is poor, since you are very capable, why don't you show your original body and compete with me?" The man said: "You want to see me, it's not yet time; The time has come, I'm afraid you can't think of it, it's not possible." Qin Lang had calculated that the man was only ten steps away from him, and before he finished speaking, he caught his hand and there were five red lines. Jian Guang flew straight to where the man was standing.While moving the sword light, it shot up and down within a radius of tens of feet, making the forest red.The light was everywhere, the branches and leaves flew together, and there was no answer from the man for a long time.Mrs. Mao said: "This bird man must be dead. Senior brother, go back to the temple with me." Before he could finish speaking, there was another bang, and Mrs. Mao got a slap on the face.Mao Tai was so angry that he also let out the sword light and flew towards the place where he spoke.Only the man laughed and said: "I only think that your Wutai sect's swordsmanship is strong, so it's nothing more than that. You don't mind the trouble, let me see and see how many swords you have." Qin Lang and Mrs. Mao People are angry and anxious.Knowing that the man was very capable, flying the sword by himself was useless, but he was too embarrassed to take it back, so he had no choice but to use the sword light and shoot randomly.That man was even more unwilling to sit idle, and beside the two of them, he either hit them, twisted them, pinched them, and the blows were very heavy, causing the two of them to be in great pain.Later, it was Mrs. Mao who knew that it was difficult to meet the enemy, so he quietly said to Qin Lang: "It is easy for us to deal with it with sharp swords and guns. I don't know if this thing is a human or a monster. Why should we suffer from this immediate loss?" Qin Lang had no choice but to use this to step down. I am afraid Under another conspiracy, Mao Tai stepped up his guard, and everyone exercised sword light to protect their bodies and escaped from the woods.And I'm glad that person doesn't come to catch up.The two ran to Ciyun Temple, already out of breath.

After entering the temple, Mrs. Mao introduced Zhitong.Zhitong asked him why the two of them were in such a mess.Mrs. Mao explained what happened.Zhitong listened and fell silent for a while.Mrs. Mao then asked him why.Wisdom Channel: "Just now in the forest, the person who fought with you at the beginning may be a swordsman from the Emei School who passed by. Seeing the rough road, he helped that Zhou Chun. Later, when I saw Daoist Qin coming, he might be seen through the vengeance, and I am afraid that he is not an opponent. , so I took Zhou Chun away. It doesn't matter. Later, the weird man who heard the sound and disappeared is a bit difficult. If the old monster came out to meddle in other people's business and talk about you and me, I'm afraid our old man, the golden body arhat Fa Yuan, fellow Daoist Qin and Master Huashan Liehuo, both feel difficult." Qin and Mao replied: "I'm waiting to unleash the sword, but I don't see him meeting the enemy. He only knows a little bit of invisibility. How can he be so powerful? Such a field?" Zhitong replied: "You two don't know. Fifty years ago, a strange old man suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. Be with him, otherwise there are very few people who are not defeated in his hands. Not only is the body and sword united, but also the body shape can be hidden at will. It is not an ordinary invisibility method, which can only block the eyes of ordinary people. Knowing his name and surname, because of his erratic movements and strong swordsmanship, he was nicknamed the Old Man Chasing Clouds. It was only later that I found out his name, Bai Guyi. People in the Jianghu at that time were really famous and fearful. Seeing shadows and dead souls. Since his wife Ling Xuehong died in Kaiyuan Temple fifty years ago, he has not been seen for a long time in the rivers and lakes. Everyone said that he was dead. Last year Patriarch Li Huo returned to Huashan from Tibet and passed by here, saying yes I saw him selling medicine in Chengdu, and told me to be careful. He also said that he had been defeated by him at the beginning, and he would never go out to participate in any struggle. At first, he only said that he had passed away. I am still alive. I can only practice the old words, go back to the mountain to meditate behind closed doors, and I can’t come out. So I strictly ordered my disciples not to go out of the temple to make trouble without any reason. Later, I didn’t see any action. A few days ago, Zhang Liang, a disciple of Xiandi Mao I left the temple in the middle of the night, saying that I went to a rich family in the city to borrow pocket money, but I never returned. Later, I sent someone to the Yamen Gate to inquire with the rich family, but it had no effect. I must have been murdered by this old thief, and no one else would Will do it so clean."

Zhang Liang was Mao Taixin's beloved apprentice. Hearing such a bad news, he couldn't help being anxious and angry, and decided to go to the city to find out the news.Zhitong quickly dissuaded him, telling him not to make mistakes.Then he said to Qin Lang: "There have been accidents in my temple for several days. The situation is very bad. Fellow Daoist Qin is not suitable to live here for a long time. You can leave for Tibet tomorrow. I would like to trouble you to take a detour to Dajianlu. Please ask the abbot of the Temple of Plague to face Buddha , about with Feitian Yasha Ma Jue, come to Chengdu to help me soon. How would you like Qin Daoyou?" Qin Lang said: "I was ordered by my master to go to Tibet this time. I'm going, it's the best way to kill two birds with one stone. I'll start tomorrow morning."

Zhitong thanked Qin Lang, and asked someone to send his disciples Si Jingang, as well as the thieves flying centipede Duobao real Jin Guangding, one-horned python Maxiong, Fenshui rhino Luhu, and Naohai Yinlongbai who came to seek refuge in the daytime. Jin, and all the heroes, came to the main hall to discuss matters.After the word was passed, four people from the temple, Huiming, the powerful vajra iron palm monk, the invincible vajra Saidama Huineng, the multi-armed vajra little Nezha Huixing, and the multi-eyed vajra little fire god Huixing arrived first, followed by Jin Guangding waited to come in and salute and take a seat.

Wisdom channel: "I told you to come in, not for any other reason, but because my ancestor Taiyi Hunyuan forged a deep hatred with the sword fairy of the Emei school. He fought swords on the Yunv Peak of Mount Emei, and was defeated by the leader of the sword fairy of the Emei school. Qi Shuming cut off an arm. The patriarch was so angry that he practiced in Maoshan for ten years and made the Five Poison Immortal Sword. He asked the Emei sect to compete swords on the top of Huangshan for the second time. Seeing that it failed, the Emei sect came again out of thin air. The Three Immortals of the East China Sea: one is Xuan Zhenzi, the other is Ascetic Toutuo, and the third is that strange old man chasing the old man Bai Guyi. The three of them came out of thin air to interfere and mediate injustice. With their hands, our patriarch was arrested by Ascetic Toutuo. The five poisonous swords were taken away, and Xuan Zhenzi was hit by an invisible sword. Seven days later, he died. At the time of his death, he called a few successful disciples of his sect, together with my master Tuotuo, in front of him, and passed down the method of refining swords. Tell me to wait for my swordsmanship to be perfected, and seek revenge from the Emei Sect. My master later went mad and died at the time. I came to Chengdu and worked hard to manage this Ciyun Temple. It has been prosperous for more than ten years. Just because I never do business here, I go in and out late at night, and I can quite gain the faith of local officials, civilians, gentry and businessmen. Who would have thought that half a month ago, Zhang Liang, a disciple of Mao Xiandi, took a fancy to a woman in the city and went to pick flowers to borrow money. Going or not. I asked around and found no whereabouts. I must have been murdered by someone else. I am anxious about this. Who would have thought that another strange thing happened in this hospital a few days ago." Mrs. Mao asked hurriedly What happened?Wisdom Channel: "My dear brother, how do you know that it is only because of my compassion that I left this trouble. A few days ago, I was in the Huanxi Temple, and I was having fun with all my disciples. At first I thought it was you who came back. Who would have thought that it was seventeen students who came to Beijing from Guizhou to take the exam, and they made a detour to Chengdu for sightseeing. Because they heard that this temple is a big jungle, they came in to rejoice. The monks in front of them were careless and were mistaken by them. I happened to be in the dark room and entered the tunnel. I saw that the matter had been seen through by him and others, so I had no choice but to ask them to return to the west. I tied up all seventeen people including him, interrogated them, and I personally killed them. The last one, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, was very good-looking, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, and couldn't help but cry my heart out. I couldn't bear to kill him myself, so I sent him to the prison to give I gave him a rope, a steel knife, and a pack of poison, and told him to seek death in the cave. He begged to eat two more meals, and be a ghost. A steamed bun, calculated to allow him to live for three more days. Go to see him on the fourth day, if you don’t commit suicide, then do something. Because I was born very weak, and the prison hole is high, I didn’t take this matter to heart On the second and third day, there was a heavy thunderstorm for two nights in a row. On the fourth day, I sent people to look at it, but the young man had already escaped. I think he is a frail scholar, surrounded by us I am not afraid of him escaping. At that time, I asked people to block all the openings, and searched intensively, but there was no trace. This person saw through the secrets in the temple, and I killed all sixteen of his companions. After he escaped, wouldn’t it be Report to the officials to arrest me? Close the gate of the temple for several days, prepare the officers and soldiers to meet and kill for a while, and then go to the seven virtuous brothers to make the division safe. Who wants to send someone to the gate of the yamen if there is no news for seven or eight days I inquired, but there was no movement. I don't know why?" The multi-eyed Vajra Fire God said wisely: "Master, I think that Juzi is a young child who was frightened and panicked. He must have fallen into the mountain stream while escaping. There is no need to worry about dying, or dying of illness elsewhere." Zhi Tong said, "That being said, we have to make preparations. Besides, since Old Man Chasing Clouds appeared in Chengdu, sooner or later, he will come to find trouble. Today, I called you and other heroes to come here. I want everyone to take my invitation card separately and invite helpers from now on. Those who are in the temple are not allowed to leave the temple if there is nothing to do. And wait for the helper you invite to arrive, and then make a fuss." After hearing this, all the people had no idea and didn't say a word.Only Mrs. Mao was eager for revenge and insisted on finding Zhou Chun to fight to the death.Zhitong couldn't stop him, so he had to let him.There was nothing to say all night.On the second day, Qin Lang bid farewell to the crowd and set off for Tibet.After Qin Lang left, everyone also took Zhitong's letter and went out to invite people.do not mention.Mrs. Mao left Ciyun Temple alone after breakfast without notifying Zhitong, and went to seek revenge on Zhou Chun in the city.To know what happened next, let's see the next chapter.
