Chapter 14 The Thirteenth Round

It is said that Zhuiyunsou was talking about Yu De's injury with Zui Taoist and Zhou Qingyun in the woods outside Ciyun Temple. With a voice: "Go!" The three of them drove the sword light together and flew back to Biyun Nunnery.At this time, it was around five o'clock, the winter night was long, and the sky was not yet bright.The three of them did not disturb Zhou Chun, and went into the Sutra room and sat down.The drunk Taoist rouses Song and He to prepare refreshments.Qingyun asked: "Just now there were a few red lines in the west, why did we run away when we saw them?" The old man chasing the cloud said: "Since Zhou Yuncong was rescued by your drunk master uncle and Zhang Liang was killed in Ciyun Temple, Zhitong has been able to do it. It is expected that the members of our Emei Sect will make things difficult for him. Last month, he sent his followers Four Vajras, Duobao Daoist Jin Guangding, and a group of Sichuan bandits who defected to him, took his invitation card, and went to the three mountains and five mountains to hire capable swordsmen , gathered at Ciyun Temple, and held a meeting to prepare countermeasures. Tonight, these red lines are the golden body of Mrs. Mao’s master, Arhat Fayuan. Because I am unable to show up for the time being, I ask you to turn around together." Qingyun said: "According Master said so, since they are looking for helpers everywhere, are we going to fight with these few people?" Chasing cloud old man said: "How can such a cheap thing happen? I have already expected this step and sent your uncle Li Huzi went to invite someone. Now the matter is only at the beginning, and Zhitong is not sure whether our side is true or not. But he is suspicious of me and born out of the world. In view of the mistakes of his dead master Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch, he put their Our colleagues gathered together and carefully studied the methods of confronting the enemy. As for our real enemies, none of them have shown up yet, and some are still pretending to be good people." After talking for a while, Zhou Chun got up, and Qingyun stepped forward to salute.Zhou Chun paid homage to old man Chasing Yun and Taoist Zui again.Qingyun then went to the inner room to sit for a while and did her inner strength. The sun was already rising, so she didn't plan to go to sleep.The drunken Taoist carried the gourd on his back and wanted to go out.Old man chasing clouds hastily called him around, took out something from his bosom and gave it to him.The drunk Taoist quickly thanked him, took it, hid it in his arms, and walked out.The old man chasing clouds said to Qingyun: "The enemy has not arrived yet, and we don't know our reality and hiding place. Now I want to take your father to the Zhulian Cave in Hengshan Mountain to teach swordsmanship to my apprentice Yuewen Cave, and Refining the sword of your drunk master uncle. Wei Qing, I have told him to go to someone else. You are a woman, living here alone, it is very inconvenient; there are many places that need you, so I can't ask you to go back to the mountain. This It's a difficult problem." Qingyun said: "Master, you don't have to worry. When my master sent me down the mountain, he also said that it was too early to destroy Ciyun Temple, and my grandson arrived in Chengdu. This letter means that when you arrive in Chengdu, after meeting the father of Zui Shishu Tong’s grandson, if you have nowhere to live, take this letter and go to Chengdu’s North Bixie Village to join Yuqing Shitai, and you will find a place to live. After leaving, how about grandson going to vote for her?" After hearing this, the old man chasing the cloud was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect that Master Yuqing, the Moga fairy, would live in Chengdu. She is really a good helper for us. After she melted, she washed away her karma and devoted herself to goodness. When I was wandering in the East China Sea, she went there to collect herbs. I met her once, and I helped her a little. Now that I have been separated for fifty years, I think her ability She has become more and more powerful. You must be very respectful to her when you go here, and it will be of great benefit to you to ask for advice day and night."

Qingyun was overjoyed when she heard this, and was about to ask about the origin of Master Yuqing, the fairy Moga, before she could open her mouth, her eyes lit up, and the room was filled with golden light, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice say: "Senior Bai, if you want to talk about people's merits behind your back, I will It is not to be obeyed." Zhou Chun and Qingyun took a closer look, and there was a young nun in the room out of thin air, wearing a crown, wearing cloud shoes, wearing a yellow satin monk's robe, holding a dust whisk, with a dignified appearance, She is very beautiful, and she is paying respects to Chasing Yunsou.The old man chasing clouds smiled and said: "I blame the old man for not knowing the shortcomings of others, master just don't worry. But when we face Wutai and other karmic barriers in the future, master will help us." The young nun said: "Old man Is there any reason not to follow the instructions? Of these two, I already know that one is a new guest in my village, how about this one?" The old man chasing clouds said with a smile: "I just talk, but I haven't introduced you yet." After all, I called Zhou Chun and Qingyun to see it.Then he said to the two of them: "This is the master Yuqing we just mentioned." Zhou Chun and Qingyun were very surprised, and thought to themselves: "The old man Chasing Yun has been separated from her for more than fifty years. I'm afraid there is no such person A hundred years old, how can she still look like a young girl?" Chasing cloud old man said: "She is about one hundred and thirty years old this year." Master Yuqing said: "The old man is here to make fun of again." Chasing cloud old man said "This is my new disciple Zhou Chun. He is a half-way monk. He has not learned some swordsmanship. Do you think he can still cultivate?" It can be gold, not to mention Zhou Daoyou has a solid foundation." Chasing the old man said: "How did you know we are here?" Master Yuqing said: "This place was originally the lower court of senior brother Suyin. This year she collected medicine from Yunnan. Turn back to my master, come to see me by the way, and said that I have borrowed this place from Taoist Zui, and I have wanted to visit for a long time." When he said that, he pointed to Qingyun and said: "Yesterday, her master Fanxia's good friend, Luoyanshan Sorrow Eagle Cave Master Stone brought a message, saying that she took her master's letter and defected to me. I calculated the schedule and arrived, but I didn't see her coming. I know that the group of demons will be born again now, and I'm afraid something went wrong, so I came here to inquire, I don’t want to be lucky enough to meet the old man here, it’s really a pleasure. I just happen to have an important matter, and I’m going to report to a major person in the Emei sect. Because I’m practicing a magic weapon, I don’t have time to go elsewhere It couldn't be more coincidental for the seniors to meet."

The old man chasing clouds hurriedly asked why.Master Yuqing said: "Does the senior know Xu Feiniang, the sister of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch Wanmiao Immortal?" Qingyun interjected: "Could it be that the master is talking about the middle-aged Taoist girl who participated in the training at Wuyunbu in Mount Huangshan?" " Master Yuqing said: "It is this person. Ever since her senior brother died tragically during the two Emei sword fights, she has fled to Huangshan and never talked about revenge. At that time, most people said that she was deeply favored by her senior brother and took her senior brother's I have fully learned the skills. Seeing that my brother was murdered by the Emei Sect, he seemed to be indifferent, without any sense of camaraderie, and even I said she was too heartless. It was not until last year that I discovered that this person had a different mind. In addition, she has been cultivating hard for fifty years. Although her magic weapons are not as many as her senior brother's, her ability is superior to her senior brother. If this person is not eliminated, it is simply a great hidden danger of the Emei School. How do I know? Me and the Tibetan Poison Dragon Venerable Eighty years ago, the person had a friendship with the same sect, and he was enlightened by his family and teachers, and he corrected the evil. Because I refused to forget my roots, I could do other things for the Emei sect. Only when I met Tibetans sent people to fight, we It is absolutely neutral. Therefore, for decades, I have never turned against Tibet. Seeing that I have made some progress in Taoism in recent years, Venerable Poison Dragon has repeatedly asked me to return to Tibet to teach, but I politely declined and kept neutral. I said it. Ten years ago, he brought this Xu Feiniang to see me. At first I looked down on her very much, and I couldn't bear her great hospitality. I saw that although she forgot her roots, she really changed her ways and turned her back to the truth, and she was sincere. She is good at chess, so she has a close relationship. Who wants to know people, know face but not heart. Last winter, I came to see me again, first complimenting me for a while, and then gradually confiding in my heart. In the past fifty years, she has worked hard and tried her best, but she has not forgotten to take revenge. She has planned all kinds of things and planned to wait for the time to act. She begged me to help her succeed, and she was willing to let me be the patriarch of their sect. After hearing this, I wanted to lose my temper. I also feel that she is justifiable, but I pity her life experience. Although I declined her politely, it was very comforting to her. Who would have thought that she somehow imagined that I was as low as her. One time, I actually came for Venerable Dulong As a lobbyist, she wanted to persuade me to marry him, and the three of them worked together to make the Tibetan religion shine. I was so angry that I broke up with her at that time. Before she left, she threatened me with words, saying that she would be fifty years old. She is so painstaking, Master Fanxia, ​​who is close at hand, doesn’t know her intentions. Now that the secret is known to me, I hope that I have nothing to do with her. If I reveal her secret, she will fight me to the death. She also said It's not that I'm afraid of Master Fanxia, ​​I'm afraid she will know the secret, because she has a Heavenly Demon Zhuxian sword that has not yet been refined, and she doesn't want to leave Huangshan at this time. Master Shan Xia is quite able to understand, why let a fierce tiger sleep peacefully on the side of the couch, instead of cutting it off earlier, it made her grow wings and come to embarrass the Emei sect? Could it be that she was really deceived by her? " Chasing Yunsou said: "Master Fanxia must have a clever plan, otherwise she would never have been allowed to live quietly in Huangshan for more than fifty years. Now that her false face has been revealed, her doom is imminent. You know the truth. When you met Master Ling and Senior Brother Ling, you paid your respects on behalf of the old man, and you will have to trouble them someday.Let's part today. "After that, Fairy Moga bid farewell to old man chasing clouds, and brought Qingyun back to Bixie Village. Old man chasing clouds also brought Zhou Chun back to the mountain to practice swords. Don't mention it.

Let's say that since Yu De and Mao Tai were injured, Zhitong's medicine was ineffective, and he himself could not form a thread, and a single tree could not form a forest.Especially Yu De was unconscious and moaning continuously.When he was helpless, he suddenly came in and reported: "A Zen master suddenly descended from the front hall, saying that he came from Wutai Mountain, and wanted to see Master and Master Mao." Overjoyed, I immediately stepped forward to pay homage.This Fayuan was very short and fat, with a ferocious appearance, wearing a blazing cassock and holding an iron Zen staff.Seeing Zhitong, he asked Mao Taike where?Zhitong took Mao Tai to seek Zhou Chun's revenge. He met an expert in the forest and was teased by others. Later, Tibet sent powder-faced Buddha Yude to the temple. Two assassins came that night. They looked like a man and a woman. How De was tricked, and now recuperating in the back hall, unconscious, I said it one by one.Fayuan was furious when he heard this, and asked Zhitong to lead him in.Seeing that Mrs. Mao had a broken left arm and was falling asleep, Fa Yuan couldn't help sighing.He hurriedly asked Zhitong to fetch a bowl of rootless water, took two pills from his side, and poured them down with him.Dissolve two elixirs and apply them to the wound.

At this time, Mrs. Mao had already woken up. When she saw Fa Yuan, she wanted to get out of bed and bow down.Fa Yuan said: "Your wounds are not healed, so you don't need to be polite." Mao was in too much pain, so he was more respectful than obedient, with tears in his eyes, and told the past again, asking Fa Yuan to avenge him.Fa Yuan said: "This matter is not related to you alone. Why do you need to talk about revenge." After finishing speaking, he asked Zhitong: "Where is Mrs. Mao's severed arm now?" Because I was afraid that Brother Mao would be sad, I never took it in." Fa Yuan said: "This arm has never been lost, but I have a good idea, go get it quickly, and keep it well." Mao Taizheng was worried that he would become a useless person, and after hearing Fa Yuan's words, he couldn't help but think about it. Zhen, then asked: "Master's spells are supernatural, can it be said that I can make my disciples continue with a broken arm?" Fa Yuan said: "How can I have such great supernatural powers? But there is a practice of alchemy at the ancestor of Wuding Island in the North Sea. If you can get the ten-thousand-year Dipsacus bone-jointing bone-building muscle-building spirit jade ointment, you can restore the bone. Fortunately, it is freezing cold today, otherwise the muscles will rot. Even though there is an elixir, it is useless. It is a pity that there is no solid foundation of the Emei School Pill, stop the blood and maintain the muscles. Even if the panacea is available in the future, if you connect the broken arm, it will not hinder the view and you will not be able to use it freely." Wisdom Channel: "Since there is this panacea, uncle quickly revise the book, Waiting for the disciples to go get it, how about healing it with my virtuous brother earlier?" Fa Yuan said: "How can there be such an easy thing? The ancestor of the empty space is extraordinary, and his Wuding island rings three thousand weak waters It is difficult for birds to fly across. Moreover, this ancestor has already declined the worldly relationship and does not meet outsiders. Even if I ask for it in person, I will never even think about entering the island." Zhitong said: "In this way, it is still hopeless." Fa Yuandao: "That's not the case. Patriarch Zhangkong only accepted two disciples in his life: one is Lingwei old man, who is now living in Lingshan in the North Sea ice field, he is very decent, and he also learns from his master to concentrate on meditation and don't care about foreign affairs; One is the long-armed god and demon Zheng Yuangui of Kongtong Mountain. This man has a strong swordsmanship and formed another family. He just has a vicious heart and is not liked by the ancestor. Ten years ago, for some reason, the master and the disciple disagreed, and the ancestor suddenly wanted to use the flying sword. Beheading him, he was known by his senior brother Ling Weisou, who secretly wrote to him and told him to escape. On the one hand, he begged the ancestor of Xiangkong. For this matter, the ancestor blamed him for not sharing the news, and punished Ling Weisou to kneel in front of the wall For three years, Zheng Yuangui saw that he could not stand still, so he had no choice but to devote himself to the Wudu Heavenly King Liebaduo's teaching in the Chishen Cave of Baiman Mountain in Yunnan. I just stayed in Kongtong Mountain for a while. This person agrees with me. I heard that when he escaped, he stole a lot of the elixir of the ancestor of the sky. I have to go to get it myself." Zhitong said: "Now Most of the Emei sect is in Chengdu, and sooner or later they will come to make trouble. Although the disciples have sent disciples to ask capable people to help, they will not come. The two of them are currently ill. I wonder if there will be any hindrance after the uncle leaves?"

After hearing this, Fa Yuan laughed loudly and said, "How many years have you practiced in vain? You can't even see through this point. You still want to restore your master's career? You think there are many capable people in the Emei Sect, so how can you act rashly? This time, I obviously want to take advantage of the opportunity of the various sects to recruit disciples, try to start a quarrel, and want to stir up the fire, just like the Emei sword fight last time, to wipe out the alien sects, so that they can be honored by themselves. How can a mere Ciyun Temple be released? In their minds? If Chasing Yunsou had already been born, wouldn’t it be easy to destroy this Ciyun Temple with his own power? The above-mentioned assassination was obviously because their new disciples wanted to show off, so they first provoked it, and then we will see how we do it Make arrangements, and they will start. The more people we have here, the more trouble they will cause. If it is the same as usual, as long as we don't go out to make trouble, they will never come." After taking the elixir, Yu De said, When the medicine is activated, although it cannot be restored immediately, the pain will disappear and the pain will be relieved.When he woke up and saw Fa Yuan, knowing that it was him who rescued him, he reluctantly got out of bed and thanked him.Fa Yuandao: "Ever since you left as a teacher and came under Venerable Poison Dragon's door, I already know that you have advanced in martial arts. This time it was because of your skill and boldness that you fell into the conspiracy of others. In the future, you need to be careful when facing enemies. I Leave a few pills with you and take it, and you will be cured in three days. It's not too late, let me go to Kongtong Mountain." After saying that, he left the room, turned into a few red lines, and looked into the sky.

On the second day, Zhitong was chatting with Mrs. Mao and Yu De. First, Huiming, the powerful vajra and iron palm monk, came back and reported: "Report to Master, this disciple has been ordered by Master to go to Suoyun Cave in Hengshan to invite Master Yue Qinbin. First, The boy who answered the door took the master's letter and went into the cave. He came out and said that Master Yue was not in the cave. He went to Feilei Cave in Wuyi Mountain to find Master Long Fei to play chess. The disciple rushed to Wuyi Mountain and met Xiao Long, a disciple of Master Long Fei. Spirit monkey Liu Zongqian, he said that Master Long Donghai is visiting friends, and Master Yue is coming. He himself would like to watch the excitement, and he also promised to help his disciple find a few friends from the same sect. The disciple is afraid that the master will be waiting for a long time, so he came here to pay the order Hearing this, Zhitong couldn't help sighing and said: "Nowadays, people are snobbish. Your Uncle Yue is nothing more than afraid of the power of the Emei faction, so he obviously didn't want to see you. You're just running for nothing, go and rest inside." Huiming withdrew down.

After three or four days, the invincible Vajra Saidama Huineng, the multi-armed Vajra Little Nezha Huixing, the multi-eyed Vajra Little Fire God Huixing, etc. returned to the temple one after another. Yes, there are also those who are really absent.Those invited were: Laoshan Tiezhang Immortal Zhu E, Jiangsu Taihu Dongting Mountain Thunderbolt Yuchi Yuan, Cangzhou Caoshang Feilin Chengzu, Yunnan Dazhuzi Mountain Dispersed Suanni Di Yiner, Huashan Lihuo Patriarch's disciple Feitian Yasha Qin Lang Wait.Except that Patriarch Lie Huo is from another sect, and also has deep enmity with Emei sect, the rest are all brothers and sisters of Zhitong and Mrs. Mao, and none of the senior uncles or uncles were invited.The Venerable Tibetan Poison Dragon said that there is something to do, but it is not certain whether he will come or not.Yu De, his eldest disciple, has already come first.Flying Yasha Majue went out and did not return.Although there are many schemers, but there are no outstanding swordsmen, it is a bit disappointing.In the end, comfort is better than nothing, so I have to do it again.

Two days later, Jin Guangding, the real flying centipede Duobao, led his disciples one-horned python Ma Xiong, Fenshui rhinoceros Luhu, Naohai silver dragon Baijin, etc., happily entered the temple, and met everyone, After seeing the ceremony, he said: "Since I left Ciyun Temple, I went to Qingcheng Mountain to invite my friend Ji Deng, and asked his patriarch Zhu Mei to come to help us. I just arrived in Guan County. In front of Erlang Temple, I saw A 14 or 15-year-old stunning woman bought medicine from a middle-aged Taoist nun. I planned to make an appointment with Gideon. When I came back, I would snatch the girl back and use it with the master. Who would have thought that when I arrived at the Golden Whip Cliff and White Cloud Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, Gideon Already wandering outside, there is only one Taoist boy watching the house in the temple. He said that his master returned soon, so he waited in the temple for many days, but still did not return. I was afraid that I would miss the matter here, and I was thinking about that woman, so I went back Let's go. Fortunately, I had found the woman's apartment that day, so I found a place near her home. In the evening, I took Ma Xiong and others to her home. At first I thought it was a weak woman, and she was easy to catch. I didn't want her family to have a father , even the woman was skilled in martial arts and was very difficult to handle. Later, I saw that Ma Xiong and others were unable to resist the enemy, and I was afraid of missing, so I released a flying sword and killed the woman's father with one sword. Because I wanted to capture him alive, I and Ma Xiong After spending a long time, Ma Xiong was hit by the woman's sleeve arrow. When he captured her, his hand was also bitten by her, so he managed to catch the woman with great difficulty. The woman fainted when she got angry. I used a quilt, I wrapped her up tightly, asked Ma Xiong to carry her on my back, and fled back overnight. Whoever wanted to go out of the city for only ten miles suddenly met a middle-aged Taoist nun who sold medicine in Erlang Temple that day, blocking her way, and insisted that I leave her behind. I was in a hurry and wanted to finish things earlier, so I released the flying sword. Who would have thought that this would almost cause a catastrophe. Seeing my flying sword, the Taoist sneered slightly, and raised her hand, and there was a golden light. I As soon as the flying sword came into contact with her golden light, it retreated. Seeing that the light of her sword had covered me, I had to close my eyes and wait for death. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. All the girls we snatched are gone. I’m glad that none of us were injured. At that time, we thought that the Taoist nun refused to kill us, so we didn’t take our lives. We worked hard all night in vain. The beauty I got was snatched away by others, and I was very unhappy. But I had no choice but to still walk to Chengdu. Halfway, I suddenly met Taoist Ma Juema. When I talked about the nun, he told me quietly that she was a Xu Feiniang, the most powerful person in our sect now, is the Wanmiao fairy girl of Huangshan Wuyunbu. She is practicing in Huangshan just to see the movement of the Emei sect. She must think that the woman we robbed is good, so she uses this to show her favor , so that we can take her as a disciple. We went to kill and rob people, just to create an opportunity for her, and she will be born soon. Xu Xiangu has not yet shown her true colors on the surface, and she is still pretending to deal with the Emei sect, telling me to keep a secret. Isn't it a blessing for me to have such a different person?" Yu De, Zhitong and others were delighted when they heard this.

A few days later, Fa Yuan ran back from Kongtong Mountain. Although he got the elixir, it had been many days and the effect was negligible.He had to connect the severed arm to Mrs. Mao, apply some elixir to tighten the bandage, and asked Huiming, the monk with the iron palm of the Vajra, to escort Mrs. Mao back to Mount Wutai to rest. After Mrs. Mao and Huiming left, Fa Yuan gathered people in the main hall and said: "This fight is unusual. When facing the enemy, the first thing to do is to calm down and not panic. Don't underestimate them. It's still early, and our helpers haven't arrived yet. I'll go out and ask for some help. After I leave the temple, no one is allowed to go out without incident. At night, we will be guarded in shifts. In case of a really powerful enemy coming here , you can let Yu De come forward and set a date with him to decide the outcome. Don't make a second encounter with the enemy, so as not to suffer like the last time, it's important." After saying goodbye to everyone, he went to the three mountains and five mountains to look for capable people Help went.
