Chapter 28 The twenty-seventh round of chasing Hong Tao and throwing himself into the river to be rescued

It is said that Tao Jun was wondering that the nun Suyin called him by his baby name, and suddenly saw a white light like a horse flying towards the battlefield. Tao Jun suspected that she was using a flying sword to kill Xu Yue, and was startled.When I looked back to the battlefield, the two men and women who were fighting desperately had already been rescued.The person who saved the siege was none other than Zhu Mei, the dwarf old man who was looking forward to passing through the autumn water.Unable to be overjoyed in his heart, he rushed over and knelt down on the ground with Xu Yue.Su Yinyuan suspected that Aunt Ying was in a hurry to release the sword, knowing that the danger was abnormal, so she flew her sword to stop it.When he saw an old man suddenly appearing, holding Yinggu's sword in his hand, he couldn't help being shocked.Taking a closer look, he recognized Zhu Mei, the senior sword fairy and dwarf old man.Fifteen years ago, I went to Emei Motian Cliff with my master to visit Master Yizhen. I met him once on the middle of the mountain, and only then did I know that he is one of the two famous elders of Songshan Mountain.Because he was the first sword fairy I met when I entered Taoism, and he was born with a lot of strangeness, so I have a deep impression on my mind.I didn't dare to neglect at the moment, and hurried over to pay my respects.

At first, Yinggu and Xu Yue fought for two or three hours, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.After all, Yinggu was inexperienced and couldn't hold her breath. She almost fell into Xu Yue's plot several times, and instead of accepting Xu Yue's mercy, she became angry from embarrassment.Suyin paid attention to Tao Jun for a while, Xu Yue fought with Yinggu all morning, and he didn't want to hurt her, and she didn't know how to advance or retreat. If this goes on, how will it end?So I wanted to give her a strong one.On the one hand, cheer up and fight hard; on the other hand, secretly think of a way to lure the enemy.Ying Gu was also anxious because she could not win the battle for a long time.She thought to herself: "This guy is too cunning, if you don't give him an advantage, he will never be fooled." She never expected that Xu's pear flower gun would never be able to play tricks, and if he pretended to be smart, he would be fooled.At this time, Xu Yue shot directly at him. Yinggu knew that Xu Yue was using false tricks to lure the enemy, and secretly cursed: "Thief! You will not escape justice this time." She calculated that Xu Yue would definitely It was the two immortals preaching again, handing the gun to the left hand, and still plotting against themselves as last time.So he sold an opening, deliberately pretending to be provocative with a sword, and exposed his chest, preparing to stab Xu Yue with the tip of his gun, and fly to take him three ways.Unexpectedly, Xu Yue's kung fu is extremely proficient, his marksmanship, the so-called four-two strokes of a thousand catties, is not measured, and he never retreats in vain.Seeing that Yinggu was coming late, he backed up, and thrust forward the sword sharply. With a sudden exertion, the barrel of the gun was slightly deflected.It was too late for Yinggu to withdraw the sword and enter the sword, unable to withstand the twist of Xu Yue's divine power, the tiger's mouth shook open, the sword dropped from her hand and fell to the ground.At the same time, Xu Yue's spear was cut into two sections by some sword edges, leaving only half of the handle in his hand.Xu Yue didn't hesitate, holding a four-five-foot-long half-gun handle, a dragon returned to the sea, and the lightning shot towards Gu Ying's abdomen like a lightning bolt.Yinggu was ashamed and impatient, unable to defend herself, she had to dodge the move, Xu Yue had already picked up Yinggu's sword in his hand, and instead of chasing forward, stood with the sword smiling.Seeing that the sword was picked up by someone, Yinggu was furious and didn't have time to think about the foreword, and since revenge was the most important thing, she took out the Qing Ni sword that her master refined to prevent evil from her bosom.When Xu Yue saw Yinggu's face turned angry, he suddenly took out a sword case more than a foot long from his waist, and knew something was wrong. .The feeling came so badly that there was no time to escape, so I had to sigh, close my eyes and wait for death.

When I was helpless, I suddenly heard a "haha", and there was no movement for a while.When he opened his eyes again, he saw Zhu Mei, the dwarf old man he met by the river that day, standing in front of him, and a ray of white light was flying back towards the young girl.The sword light released by the enemy has been caught in Zhu Mei's hand, bending and stretching like a small snake, and emitting a cold light.At this time, both Su Yin and Tao Jun came to see Zhu Mei one after another.Xu Yue suddenly remembered, Zhu Mei hadn't come here, his life would have been in danger, why did he still stand aside in a daze?Then he quickly knelt down to Zhu Mei and kowtowed for the virtue of saving the siege.Seeing everyone bowing down to him, Zhu Mei was very displeased, and hurriedly shouted: "Get up quickly! If you want to have these vain rituals again, I'm going to lose my temper." Suyin often heard his master say that he has a weird temperament, Hastily stood up according to the words.As for Xu Yue and Tao Jun, one was deeply grateful for saving lives, and the other was obsessed with joy, only paying attention to saluting, and never heard what Zhu Mei said.Provoking Zhu Mei to lose her temper, she came over and slapped Tao Jun first.Tao Jun was beaten so dizzy that he misunderstood what he meant, thinking that the master must blame him for not introducing Xu Yue, and when he got anxious, he kowtowed more and more to beg for forgiveness.When Xu Yue saw Tao Jun being beaten for no reason, he also knelt down and begged for him.Who would have thought that the more she tapped her head, the more Zhu Mei became angrier, and she stepped forward and kicked Tao Jun twice.Then he turned around, knelt down towards Xu Yue, and said, "My old man shouldn't have come to save you, and I shouldn't have been kneeled by you. Because you haven't repaid you, you can't grow old. You are not my karmic apprentice, and I can't beat you." You, how about I give you back a few heads?"

As a result, Tao and Xu became more and more frightened, and for no reason, they knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do.Zhu Mei knelt on the ground, out of breath, and kicked Tao Jun behind her back.When Tao Jun saw that his master was about to beat him, not only did he not dare to avoid it, but went forward to get beaten and calmed down with his master.It only took a few kicks, but he kicked a bruised nose and swollen eyes.Suyin knew the truth and Zhu Mei's temper well, so she didn't dare to point it out.Later, seeing that Tao Junye had been beaten and kicked by Zhu Mei, he suffered several injuries, his front teeth were almost kicked off, and his mouth was bleeding, he really couldn't see it, so he stepped forward and helped Tao Jun up first, and said, "You have become Zhu Mei's teacher in vain. Disciple Uncle, how come you don’t know his old man’s temper, and don’t you like people to bow down to his old man the most?” At this time, Tao Jun had already been kicked badly by Zhu Mei, and he was anxious and afraid, and what Su Yin said didn’t make any sense. And listen to Ming, still waiting to come forward and kneel down.But Xu Yue had already heard Zhu Mei's words for a while, and after listening to Su Yin's words, he suddenly realized, and then hurriedly said: "Disciple is guilty, senior please stand up." Said the words again.It was only then that Tao Jun realized that the disaster of innocence came from being polite.He didn't dare to act rashly any more, and stood by with his hands down.

Zhu Mei stood up, threw the dirt on her body, and laughed at Su Yin: "You only care about being a partial witness, and you are afraid that your relatives will be beaten, so you are troublesome. It is a pity that Master Yuan Yuan entrusted his beloved disciple to you in vain. I asked you to take care of her, but you forced her to throw herself into the Yangtze River and become a water ghost, are you embarrassed?" Su Yin heard this, and said to Zhu Mei without any haste, "How dare I be partial? Uncle Yuan Yuan knew today Karma, she asked Yinggu to become a disciple because she wanted to sharpen her anger and make her perfect. Otherwise, Yinggu would not be able to unite with her body and sword, and her skills were still shallow. How could she be tolerated when this sect was rampant? Going down the mountain to cause trouble? If the uncle doesn’t come, the disciple is of course under the order of Uncle Yuan Yuan, and he has no shirkable responsibility. Since the uncle is here, even if the disciple has only a half-knowledge, how dare he show off in front of his elders!” Only then did Tao and Xu realize what was in front of them. One person was missing, Yu Yinggu, who was determined to take revenge, escaped and went away without knowing where to go when everyone was in a hurry to salute.Since Zhu Mei said that she was going to throw herself into the river, she must be narrow-minded. Seeing that the two swords were lost, she had no face to go back to the mountain to see her master, so she committed suicide.It was a pity that Aunt Xu Yueyoujueying died, so she couldn't help but let out an "ah".Zhu Mei only glanced at him.After Suyin said something, Tao and Xu thought that Zhu Mei had a weird temper and must have been angry.Who would have thought that Zhu Mei would listen to it, but instead laughed loudly and said: "A strong general has no weak soldiers, you really speak the same voice as your master, that old nun. This child's temperament is really too violent, no wonder her master I refuse to pass on the truth to her." After saying that, he walked down the river.The crowd followed behind.

After walking for about half a mile, Zhu Mei told everyone to stop.When looking forward, Yingguo was on the shoal of the river in front of her, making a gesture of throwing herself into the river.Everyone saw that she plunged towards the center of the river several times, and once she got up, it seemed that something stopped her and knocked her back, but she still landed on the shoal without entering the water.Yinggu's expression showed that she was very anxious.Tao and Xu were very puzzled.But Zhu Mei suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, and said a few words softly towards the opposite side of the river.Seeing Master's actions like this, Tao Jun knew that he was going to speak to Jiang Zhongxin again, just like Yueyang downstairs that day.When I looked forward again, I saw cold waves rolling, and there was not a single boat in the river, so I was very surprised.When I looked to the other side of the river, I tried my best to see a small boat at the foot of the mountain on the other side.Zhu Mei seemed to transmit voices across thousands of miles, said a few words to the other side, then turned around and asked Su Yin a few words.Su Yin then said to Xu Yue: "To untie the bell, you need someone to tie it. Will Teacher Xu follow me to save my junior sister?" Xu Yue had already intended to do so, and did not dare to do anything wrong without Zhu Mei's orders.Seeing Suyin's invitation, knowing that Zhu Mei agreed, she naturally agreed, so she followed Suyin to the shallows.The distance between the two strokes was only two or three zhang, so Suyin shouted: "Junior Sister, don't commit suicide, Sister Yu is here!"

At this time Yinggu was still dancing, when she heard Suyin's call, she hurriedly turned her head and saw Suyin walking with her enemy Xu Yue, she felt more and more ashamed and wished she could die.Then he gritted his teeth, kicked his two feet, exerted all his life's strength, and flew more than two feet high, like an osprey entering the water, and jumped towards the heart of the river.This action was fierce and there was no obstruction, with a plop, a splash of water was ten feet high, stirring up the cold waves below the river into a big circle.Yinggu fell in the middle of the river, and suddenly came up again, only to see her grasping at the sky with both hands, and then drifting away with the waves.When Xu Yue first saw Yinggu throwing herself into the river, she seemed to be blocked by something, and knew that it was Zhu Mei's spell.Su Yin asked him to come together to save others, suspiciously to signal him and Ying Gu to apologize.When she saw Ying Gu falling into the river, she didn't know why she was in such a hurry, she usually has good water skills, and she didn't have time to talk to Su Yin, so she jumped towards the heart of the river regardless of her own safety.Counting nine weather, although it is cold, and the water is shallow and the waves are not strong.Xu Yue chased for dozens of feet in the water before grabbing Yinggu's hair, stretched out his right hand, lifted Yinggu's collar, kicked the water backwards, and swam to the river with his back.After carrying Ying Gu ashore, she was already shivering from the cold, unbearably cold.Look at Yinggu again, her face is completely blue, she has already drowned.Regardless of the cold, Xu Yue asked Suyin to cross Yinggu's legs, put his hands under his sides, turned her head upside down, and squeezed out a lot of clear water.When I touched her chest, there was no trace of heat, and I knew it was caused by the cold.Being unable to be rescued, Zhu Mei was approaching with Tao Jun.Seeing that Zhu Mei seemed to be all right, she used her hands to make continuous strokes towards the river.After a while, I saw a small boat coming from the other side, which was exactly the boat that Zhu Mei was on.There was an old nun standing on the bow of the boat, tall and red-faced, she jumped aboard not far from the shore.Su Yin hurriedly went up to see her, and said: "Master, this disciple has a heavy trust, I hope Master will punish you." The old nun said: "This matter is her own fault, how can you blame you? I just want to ask Xu Tanyue to show his favor. For her, it’s all about getting rid of her injustice.” Zhu Mei said: “Enough is enough, let’s save her and let’s talk about it. It’s cold and the water is cold, and after a long time, she will be injured.” The old nun turned around and took it out from his waist. For two elixirs, Suyin went to the boat to fetch half a cup of warm water, opened Yinggu's teeth, drank it for a while, then spit out Shengxu River water again with a wow sound, and woke up slowly.Feeling that his body was being pinched, he looked back and saw that it was his enemy Xu Yue, with one hand under his side, embracing half of his body; the other hand patted his back lightly.Feeling ashamed and impatient, annoyed and hated, he didn't see who else was beside him, and shouted: "Bold madman! How dare you tease me in a crisis!" Before he could say anything, he punched back.Xu Yue didn't have time to be on his guard, and was hit straight by her, his face turned purple and swollen, and blood flowed from his mouth.Ying Gu moved forward angrily, and suddenly felt that her body was a little light and she couldn't stand stably.It turned out that she got up early in the morning and was busy crossing the river to seek revenge from Xu Yue. Before eating some food, she fought against a strong enemy all morning, and she also drank a stomach full of river water, which greatly weakened her vitality.Zongshi almost didn't fall down because of too much force, his body swayed a few times before he could stand firmly.Just as she was about to yell at Xu Yue, she suddenly heard someone shout: "Bold karma! Which one do you think is here?" Ying Gu took a closer look and found that it was her master, Master Yuan Yuan of Xiangxue Cave in Luofu Mountain, and the same old man as Su Yin was standing beside her. , that is, the person who took Cai away from his sword, and the young man surnamed Tao whom he met just now.Shocked and frightened, he hurried over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to plead guilty.

It turns out that Yinggu's temperament is like a fire. When she was studying in Luofu Mountain, Master Yuan Yuan said that her impetuous nature has not subsided, so she only taught her light body kung fu and a set of Yuenu swordsmanship, and refused to teach her flying swords.Aunt Ying wanted revenge, begged bitterly, and asked many brothers and sisters of the same school to intercede, but everyone still refused.Luofu Mountain was originally a blessed place in the world, with plum blossoms all over the mountain, and the scenery is unique.At the end of October, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and they don't fade until the next spring.When Yinggu was free, she was ordered by the master to go deep into the valley to collect medicine.

One spring, she suddenly discovered a cave in the back mountain. The entrance was very narrow. The deeper she walked, the more she felt that there were screw-shaped paths all the way up. Gradually, she saw light in front of her. fragrance.Yinggu was curious by nature, relying on the sharpness of the sword in her hand, she was not afraid of the attack of poisonous snakes and beasts, so she went straight into the cave.Turning around a corridor with drooping stalactites, a flat grassland suddenly appeared in front of you, with thousands of thousand-year-old plum trees in full bloom.Suddenly there is another cliff in front of it, with three big characters of "Xiangxuehai" written on it, and there is a cave below it.I thought: "The cave where Master lives is called Fragrant Snow Cave because it is surrounded by thousands of plum blossoms, and there are flowers that never fade for four seasons in the cave. There is also this Fragrant Snow Sea here, which must be because of the abundance of plum blossoms. The scenery in this cave is beyond comparison. How about Xiangxue Cave? I discovered it today, so I want to go in and have a look. If it’s better than Xiangxue Cave, wouldn’t it be better to go back and tell Master and move here?”

While thinking, he walked into the cave.The hole just now, step by step upward.This hole is going down step by step.After walking a dozen steps, I saw a stone screen inside.Turning around the stone screen, I vaguely saw something shining in front of me.When I got closer, there was nothing there.The light came from under a stone slab, and she dug the stone slab with the sword in her hand, and a small sword one foot three inches long appeared underneath.Estimated to be a treasure, take it in your hand and still cover the stone slab.Because the light in the cave was too dark, when I was about to jump to look outside, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming in from outside.Suspecting that the owner of the cave came, before he could escape, he hid beside the screen to see who it was.It is very clear to see the bright place in the dark.It was two women who came: the one walking in front, wearing only a pair of trousers, the upper body clothes were all made of leaves, with a graceful figure and slightly swaying eyebrows; the one walking behind, wearing a blue cloth dress, had a She is very beautiful, with a chain around her neck.When the two walked to the screen, they stood still and started arguing.The woman wearing the leaves said: "How can I survive these thirty-six long years? I am with the village master, and I can enjoy endless wealth. Your master said that if you don't do it yourself, someone will kill you with a flying sword. You, this sentence is just to scare you. If it wasn't for you to come back to pick up things, wouldn't we have walked hundreds of miles? Why are you afraid?" The woman in blue said, "It's not that I'm afraid I know how powerful my master is. I was rescued by you just now and released me from this cave. I didn’t want to come back to get these treasures of mine, but it was not easy for me to get them, even in the cave. Suffering the crime of living for more than ten years, I was also raised for these things. But when the master buried those treasures that day, he said that these things were introduced into the world. I destroyed it and buried it under this stone. At that time, I buried the Qingni sword that Master refined to prevent demons on the upper layer. Because after I practiced swordsmanship, I violated the precepts and killed people in order to steal these treasures. He wanted to kill me. It was I who begged hard, and Senior Brother Dinghui interceded, so that I would not die, chased after my sword, and imprisoned me in the cave for thirty-six years. He told me that if I escape by chance, or if I am greedy again, and go to steal treasures, someone will use that green sword to take my head. Master usually speaks, and there is nothing wrong with it. Although I was reluctant to run back, If you want me to dig that stone slab with my own hands, I really don't have the guts." The woman wearing the leaves laughed and said, "Because you did me a lot back then, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and then I found out that you suffered here. It just so happened that the village master wanted someone like you, so he traveled thousands of miles to come to rescue him. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, why are you so timid? Since you are afraid, tell me the place, how about I get it for you?” Lan Yi The woman said: "It's just under a stone slab behind this stone screen, you have to be careful." The woman wearing leaves said: "It's okay." After finishing speaking, she turned to the stone screen.

At this time, the small sword that Gu Ying got was vibrating in her hand, as if she couldn't grasp it and was about to fly away.It is estimated that the two women are absolutely extraordinary, and I am afraid that I am not a match, so I dare not make mistakes.I don't know what the treasure the woman in blue is talking about is, and I regret that I didn't search for it when I dug the stone slab just now.When he saw the two women turning from left to behind the screen, he turned lightly, and turned from right to front of the screen.Yinggu was so courageous that she forgot that she was in a dangerous situation, and wanted to peek at the treasure she was talking about. To open her eyes, she hid herself in the dark at the foot of the wall to watch the two of them move.I saw the woman wearing the leaves holding a steel fork in her hand, the tip of the fork was shining red.She dug up the stone slab with a fork, poked it around for a while, then dug up a small stone slab, took out a stone box from inside, and said: "I said your master deliberately threatened you? Isn't this the stone box you mentioned? Where do you have the sword?" The woman in blue quickly took the stone box and said, "I think the sword has been taken away by the master. Since we have the treasure, let's go." The woman in the leaf said, "I heard that you used to be in Mingzong When Prince Shijing obtained the Nine Dragons Bronze Mirror and the Luminous Bead, he injured three swordsmen of the Emei School and killed more than a dozen people. They are priceless treasures. The light outside the cave is not as dark as the darkness in the cave, which shows that these two treasures It's amazing. Why don't you take it out and let me open my eyes?" The woman in blue seemed to be favored by others and couldn't refuse, so she opened the stone box in her hand with difficulty.Yinggu could see clearly in the dark.I saw that the stone box was eight inches square and four inches thick.There is a bronze mirror inside, and there are nine dragons coiled behind the mirror. The rare horns are very vivid, and the crystal light shines everywhere, and the cold light shines on the eyes.In addition, there is a large bead with a diameter of one inch. As soon as it comes out of the box, the hole is brightly illuminated, and the light is very clear.The woman wearing leaves took the mirror and the two treasures, and she kept praising the treasures, they were indeed priceless.The woman in blue suddenly turned pale with shock, said: "Oh! Not good!" and hid behind the woman wearing leaves.
