Chapter 31 The 30th Candle Shadow Suddenly Shakes the Hall Red

It turns out that after Taoist Zui and Zhang Laosi escorted Zhou Yun away from the Daqiulin tofu shop, the people in Ciyun Temple were surprised because Zhou Yuncong escaped. to report.Only Qiu Lin was on the path beside the temple, far away from the temple, and was not within its range, so he was somewhat suspicious.I sent people to investigate several times, but they couldn't find any clues, so that's all.Since Zhou Qingyun made troubles at Ciyun Temple at night and lost one of Mao Tai's left arms, and Yu De was injured, Fa Yuan rushed to him, knowing that the Emei Sect was powerful, and asked Zhitong to restrain the people under his sect and not to leave the temple easily; he himself went out to invite Talented people, come to compete with the Emei faction.After Fa Yuan left, Yu De had recovered from his injuries, so he wanted to leave and go back to Tibet to ask his master, Venerable Du Long, to come out and avenge him.Zhitong feared that after he left, he would be left alone, and advised him not to go in person.But write a letter first, saying that he was bullied for no reason by the disciples of the Emei sect, he was seriously injured, he couldn't go there himself, and begged his master to come and avenge him.Yu Deben was a man of no opinion, so he acted according to his words and wrote a letter earnestly.Mao Tai's disciple, the invincible Vajra Saidama Huineng, went there, and Mao Tai and himself closed the door for fun every day.

After a few days, it was only eight or nine days before the Chinese New Year. Not only did Huineng not hear from him, but even the golden Arhat, Fayuan, did not come back.None of the people invited came.Zhitong was very anxious.On the night of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhitong and Yu De were talking in the meditation room, when suddenly a black smoke passed, and the two of them stood in front of them.Yu De is a frightened bird, waiting to release his sword.Zhitong has already recognized that the person who came is the seven-handed Yasha Longfei of Feilei Cave in Wuyi Mountain, together with his disciple Liu Zongqian, the little spirit monkey, quickly stopped Yu De and introduced them to the three of them.This Long Fei is the elder brother of Longhua, the lion king of Guiyuan Temple on the Jinding of Mount Jiuhua, and he and Zhitongyuan are brothers.Since the death of his master Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch of the Wutai Sect, he has been taught by the Bone God Lord in the Lushan God and Demon Cave, and he has practiced twenty-four swords with nine sons and mothers, and many demon techniques.That day when he went back to the cave on Mount Lu, the little spirit monkey Liu Zongqian told him about Zhitong asking him to come down the mountain to help him, and that he was an enemy of the Emei faction.Hearing this, Long Fei said angrily: "I have a sworn feud with the Emei Sect, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch was plotted by them back then. Now he sees that the Wutai Sect has lost its leader, and he wants to kill it all. A few days ago, my junior brother Luo Xiao went to Jiuhua Mountain to gather medicine, and was cut off by Qi Shuming's son, and his hatred became more and more serious. Without further ado, we will go ahead and help your uncle." Carrying the magic weapon with them, the master and the apprentice rode the dark wind and walked straight to Ciyun Temple.After meeting Zhitong, he became even angrier when talking about the past.According to Long Fei's original intention, he will go to find a member of the Emei Sect that night to meet his superiors.It was Zhitong who stopped him and said: "The Emei faction's whereabouts are erratic, and there is no fixed place. Since he went to the temple to disturb him twice, he has not come again. Although the junior brother has great powers, he is alone and lonely. Why don't you wait for the golden body Arhat to come back and see Let's discuss about the person we are meeting with." Long Fei also felt that his words were reasonable, so he could only hold back his anger for a while.

From the second day onwards, the former Fan Zhitong made an appointment, Laoshan Tieshangxian Zhue, Jiangsu Taihu Dongting Mountain Thunderbolt Yuchi Yuan, Cangzhou Caoshang Feilin Chengzu, Yunnan Dazhuzishan Shanni Di Yiner, Sichuan Mica Kunlun Shi Yuzhu, a mountain girl, and Mang Toutuo, Baoen Temple, Boyu Peak, Guangxi, came on the same day.Zhitong was overjoyed to see so many capable people here, so he asked everyone, how could they come on the same day to achieve such a skillful method?Di Yin'er, who was disheveled in hair, first replied: "Where do we have any prophets? We received your invitation earlier. Although we hated the Emei faction bitterly, after all, we know that they are large in number and difficult to resist because of the mistakes of the Emei sword fighting in the past. The enemy, I want to invite a few more helpers. A few days ago, fellow Taoists received letters from Xu Feiniang Feijian from the Wanmiao fairy. Specially capable people from the foreign sect came to help. No matter how powerful the Emei sect is, there is no reason for it. Please go with peace of mind and arrive at Ciyun Temple on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Fei Niang has not seen her for a long time since the death of the ancestor. She made some moves, and some even suspected that she was apostate. After receiving the letter, some Taoist friends did not believe it. Later, Zen Master Xiaoyue passed on the letter and said that he himself would come at that time, so we followed the letter Acting. This Feijian transmission book, except for the ancestor, only four or five swordsmen in the world have this ability. It is amazing to think that Fei Niang has practiced to such a degree after seeing Fei Niang for decades." Zhitong said: "In the past, everyone's comments on Fei Niang really wronged her. On the surface, she has not moved for decades, but in her heart, she has been trying her best for so many years. I only found out this year." He said the previous thing again.

At present, because the French Yuan has not yet arrived, Long Fei is the most capable, so he was first selected as a temporary leader.Long Fei said: "We have a lot of people here now, the enemy's lair has never been known. If they see us in a crowd, they will hide their heads and not show their faces. After we leave, they will come to bully others again. It's not like fighting swords in Emei. Order There is an appointment. I don’t think there is any need to keep the door closed now. The first step is to find out where their lair is, or go there in the open or in secret, and how about giving them a warning first?” Zhitong was cautious at the end, and discussed for a while , decided to send a few people out to find out who the Emei faction is in Chengdu and where they live.Then wait for Zen Master Xiaoyue and the golden body Arhat to come back.After the agreement, because Di Yin'er was the most familiar with the roads, and the little spirit monkey Liu Zongqian was the place he used to travel to, the two of them were in charge of inquiring about the news inside and outside the urban and rural areas of Chengdu.

Another day later, Fa Yuan returned to the temple.Except for Zen master Xiaoyue who was not present, four other famous sword celestial beings were invited: the first one was Zen master Yougen, the second one was Zhuge Ying, the third one was Taoist Lai, and the fourth one was Canglang taoist Suixinyi. They are all famous sword immortals in Wudang Mountain.After everyone met, Fa Yuan asked Long Fei, "Didn't Lingdi Long Hua and Fellow Daoist Lei Yin have been practicing at the Jiuhua Jinding Guiyuan Temple? I originally wanted to ask them to help this time, but who would have thought that I would never meet him there?" , but started fighting with Qi Shuming's daughter. I searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the two of them, but I couldn't find out. Do you know where they are now?" Long Fei said with an angry face: "Master Shuxiu wants to go back again. Mentioning my brother who is not talented, but mentioning it would be a shame to my classmates. Not only do I not recognize him as a brother now, but once I meet him, I can't easily forgive him!" After saying that, his face was full of anger, as if he was extremely angry .

Fa Yuan knew that the two of his brothers had always been at odds, and there must be a reason for it, so it was inconvenient to ask further.Immediately, he told the public that Old Man Chasing Cloud had appeared in Chengdu, and the disciples of the Emei sect made a fuss in the temple twice. I am afraid that they will come to the temple sooner or later, so he specially invited all the elders to help him, and told them.He also said: "Although this time is not like the previous Emei sword fight, where the date was set in advance, I know that the old thief Chasing Yunsou must not be easily let go. Instead of letting him come to the door, it is better that we prepare everything and first Go find him to avenge. Although they have many lairs, the gathering place in Chengdu is only one place, Biyun Nunnery. I knew a long time ago that if I didn’t say it at the beginning, I might startle the snake. Although the people in the faction are not important, the old thief Chasing Yunsou is not easy to deal with. Now that we are all here, should we wait for him, or should we go to the door, or arrange a place to compete with him, what do you guys think?" Fa Yuan is the most senior among the crowd, everyone humbled for a while, except for Long Fei who believed he had the Nine Sons and Mother Yin Soul Sword, and Yu De who was eager for revenge, the rest of them asked themselves that they were not the opponent of Chasing Yunsou, and they all advocated waiting for Zen Master Xiaoyue and Venerable Dulong Let's talk about one more.Fortunately, there are many people and powerful forces, and they are not afraid of enemies coming to them.At the beginning, since they didn't set a date for the competition with great fanfare, they were happy to spare their time and plan a perfect plan.Although Long and Yu were unwilling, they couldn't hold back the crowd.

Everyone was discussing, only to see a flash of fire, and Di Yin'er flew down from the sky with one of them.The little spirit monkey Liu Zongqian also came in afterward.When Di Yin'er saw the crowd, he hurriedly asked Zhitong to order someone to fetch the rope and tie up the spy.As soon as he looked back and saw Fa Yuan, he walked over to salute.At this time, the captured man had already been tied up, and everyone asked Di Yin'er what happened.Di Yin'er said: "I went out yesterday to inquire about the enemy's residence. I walked up to Wangjiang Tower and went up to drink. I heard some drinkers upstairs talking and saying: "The Taoist who left just now is really strange. There is no winter and no summer. He is always in that old single-dao gown. He has a really good capacity for alcohol. He drank more than a dozen catties, and he brought a big gourd with him before leaving. His red gourd can hold seventeen or eight catties of wine. No matter how many people grow koji wine, they can't drink a catty. He can drink so much. Could it be that he is a wine fairy?" I think the person they are talking about is similar to that year when Emei killed my senior brother Huo De in a sword fight. Drunk Taoist of Xingjun Lu Dahu. I was planning to follow them secretly tomorrow to find out where they lived. Unexpectedly, nephew Liu Xian and I went downstairs not far away, and felt that someone was following behind us. The two of us pretended not to know, and waited until we left We were not far away, so we turned around and asked that guy why he wanted to follow us. This guy not only refused to admit defeat, but started fighting with Nephew Liu Xian. Regardless of his poor appearance, his martial arts are still not weak. If I hadn't stepped forward to help, Nephew Liu Xian would almost He was murdered by him. I was going to kill him, but because I didn't know where they were hiding, I specially captured them, please forgive me."

Everyone heard the words, and when they looked at the man again, they saw that the man had a short stature, a white face, a high nose, a pair of red eyes, and was dressed like an ordinary businessman. Although he was captured, he was very heroic, and he seemed to have a solid foundation in martial arts.At that moment, Fa Yuan asked the man, "What is your name? Are you a member of the Emei sect? Now besides old man Chasing Yun, who else are there in Chengdu? Where do you live? Let me tell you the truth, and I will spare you." The man heard Yan said, laughing loudly: "Your uncle is Qiu Lin, the divine eye of the Emei sect. If you ask about the number of people in Chengdu of this sect, besides the head teacher Qiankun Zhengqi Miaoyi, the three immortals of the East China Sea, the two elders of the Songshan young family, and the sect And there are no fewer than a hundred swordsmen from various sects, all in Chengdu, but they have no fixed residence. Sooner or later, they will clear the demon caves and eliminate harm for the people. Since I have been captured and captured, I can be killed or killed, so why bother talking?"

Long Fei and Yu De had the most violent temperaments. Seeing Qiu Lin's arrogant words, they were about to move forward when they suddenly heard ghostly creaking sounds from the walls. A gust of wind passed by, and the candle flame shook and turned green.Everyone's hair stood on end, they didn't know if it was good or bad, they didn't care about killing people, each prepared their swords and magic weapons to watch the movement.All of a sudden, a deep pit was sunk on the ground, and a big human head appeared from the pit, with hair and beard twisted into a ball, like a nest of grass; a pair of green eyes, shining in all directions.Everyone was waiting to unleash their swords, but Fa Yuan and Yu De knew what was going on, so they hurriedly stopped them.After a while, the whole body appeared, with such a big head, but a short and thin body, wearing a green robe, less than three feet long, very ugly.It wasn't for Fa Yuan and Yu De who stopped their winks in advance, everyone almost laughed out loud when they saw such a strange situation.Seeing the man appearing from the pit, Fa Yuan hurriedly bowed his hands together and said, "I don't know that the ancestor is coming, but I haven't waited far to meet him. I hope to beg for forgiveness." After finishing speaking, he invited the man to sit down.The man was not humble either, he arched his hands and sat down in the middle.At this time, the ghost sound has stopped, and the candle flame is still bright.Fa Yuan and Yu De led the crowd forward, and introduced each other: "This ancestor is the green-robed ancestor of the Yinfeng Cave in Baiman Mountain. He has practiced boundless magic and has millions of magic soldiers. Send the founder of the mountain. In the past years in Tibet, the ancestor fought with Venerable Poison Dragon and performed many miracles. Today's arrival is not accidental. I wonder what the ancestor has learned?" The green-robed ancestor replied: "I have been here since then. Nian and Venerable Poison Dragon reconciled. After returning to the mountain, they have not gone out for many years. Venerable Poison Dragon sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that you are going to fight with the Emei Sect again. He was unable to separate himself because of an important matter, so he asked me to come. I will help you. But I wonder if you have fought against each other before?" When he spoke, his voice was weak, like that of a baby.Fa Yuan said: "I have waited for a day or two to get together, and I haven't met the enemy yet. Thank you for coming to help me, I will trouble you to be our leader." The green-robed ancestor said: "What is so difficult! Over the past few decades, I have refined a magic weapon called the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu. When I let it out, it will cover the sky and cover the earth like millions of wasps. No matter what kind of sword fairy, if one is bitten by the Golden Silkworm Gu, In an hour, he was poisoned and died. Although there are capable people in the Emei sect, why should they be afraid of them?" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.Only Qiu Lin was secretly frightened, he couldn't help but sigh because he lost his freedom and couldn't go back to report.

The green-robed patriarch heard the sigh, saw Qiu Lin tied up on the ground, and asked who it was.Fa Yuan followed and captured Qiu Lin. During the interrogation, the old ancestor happened to arrive, and he told him that he hadn't let him go.Ask the ancestor again, what is his opinion.The green-robed patriarch said: "I haven't eaten a human heart for a long time, please treat me to a bowl of human heart soup." Hearing this, Fa Yuan asked Zhitong to order someone to bring a basin of cold water and open his chest to take out the heart.Qiu Lin knew that he was going to die, but he didn't care about it. Let's see how these evildoers do it.Because Zhitong wanted to show his sincerity, he put the cold water basin beside Qiu Lin and took a sharp knife.Just as he was about to stab at Qiu Lin's flank, suddenly his eyes lit up, and a golden light swept in like a horse and lightning.Zhitong couldn't resist, so he hurried backwards and went out.When everyone released the sword light magic weapon randomly, the golden light flew into the air like lightning.When Long Fei, Yu De and others chased them out, they saw a sky full of stars, the cold forest outside the temple was rustling by the wind, and there were no traces of them.Looking back at Qiu Lin who was tied to the ground, he was nowhere to be seen, only a pile of long and short tendon ropes remained.Fortunately, the Xilai people were only rescuing the captives, except for the Zhike monk who was standing close to Qiu Lin, who was swept away by the golden light and cut off half of his left ear, no one was injured.When everyone was in high spirits, after this change, their spirits were greatly weakened, and they knew that the Emei School was really capable.Even Yu De's red sand couldn't hurt the visitor at all, one can imagine how powerful the enemy is.They all looked at each other without saying a word.That goes without saying.

It was said that when Qiu Lin was waiting to die in peace, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a golden light descended from the air to rescue him.While flying, I suddenly felt a pungent fishy smell and immediately became dizzy.Although it was clear in my heart, I just couldn't speak.After a while, the man driving the golden light had brought him to a place, put him down, looked carefully at Qiu Lin, and hurriedly said: "No! Qingyun quickly fetch my elixir." Without saying a word Then, a young woman of seventeen or eighteen took nine pills from the pill room.The man poured the elixir and Qiu Lin down with a bowl of clear water, then helped him onto the cloud bed, and lay down to rest. At this time, Qiu Linye didn't know about his personnel, and his whole body was sore. He slept until he got up early the next day and took several pills before he woke up.Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful young girl standing in front of her. She was born with a fairy bone and heroic appearance. She seemed to have a solid foundation in her skills, so she wanted to get out of bed and thank her for saving her life.The woman hurriedly stopped her and said: "Brother, although you are awake, you have been hit by Yu De's Yin Soul Sword, the poison is not yet exhausted, so don't be tired. Wait for me to fetch some food with you." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left.Qiu Lin also felt the pain all over his body was unbearable, so he had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient.Hearing that woman call him senior brother, she thought she was from the same school, but I didn't know her name and who was her disciple.At such a young age, he was able to rescue himself from the tiger's lair and Longtan without being afraid of Yu De's red sand and the green-robed patriarch's sorcerers.Thinking of this, I secretly hated myself, should have killed someone by mistake, violated the rules of my sect, and was chased away by the sword by my master, and made meritorious deeds.I have been a beginner for thirty years, and I am not ashamed to be ashamed as a young girl who is new to the younger generation. Just as he was thinking wildly, the woman had already walked in from the outside and brought him two bowls of hot beancurd and vegetarian rice to eat with him.Qiu Lin was hungry, so he was not polite at the moment, and ate as soon as he took it.After eating, I felt a little better, so I thanked him verbally for saving my life, and then asked what it was.The woman said: "Brother, don't misunderstand, how can I have such a great ability? This is the Yuqing Temple of the evil village. The one who saved you last night was Master Yuqing. My name is Zhou Qingyun, and I am Master Fanxia of Huangshan Mountain. Disciple. Isn't senior brother named God Eye Qiu Lin? Master Yuqing passed by Ciyun Temple yesterday, and stopped by to see if the enemy was real or not. Hongsha, if it wasn't for the master's elixir, how would the brother survive? The master left the house this morning for something important. Before leaving, he asked his brother to rest here and take the elixir every day. It will take about seven or eight days. You can recover." After hearing this, Qiu Lin knew that he was rescued by Master Yuqing.He was just thinking about going back to Biyun Nunnery to report the enemy's truth, so he discussed with Qingyun that he should go there sick.Qingyun said: "I heard from Master Yuqing that the three immortals and the two elders will come to destroy Ciyun Temple this time. There are many people who can know beforehand. The truth and reality of Ciyun Temple must have been known there. Brother is still ill, or It's good not to be tired. I'll wait for the master to come back, and I'll go there on the third and fourth day of the new year to wait for his orders. Wouldn't it be great to go together then?" When Qiu Linyin parted with the drunk Taoist yesterday, he knew that the three immortals and the second elder hadn't arrived yet. , there are many monsters in Ciyun Temple, I am afraid that all the swordsmen have suffered a dark loss and insisted on going.Qingyun couldn't persuade him, so she had to accompany him.Qiu Lin was still seriously ill, so he couldn't be allowed to brave the wind, so we had to walk with him. Fortunately, Bixie Village was only about twenty miles away from Biyun Nunnery.When it was time for dinner, Qingyun and Qiu Lin got up and went on the road. As soon as the two of them walked into a wilderness, they saw a pair of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys and girls running past like lightning, followed by four people who were chasing closely.When the pair of men and women had just run past, Qiu Lin already recognized that one of the four chasing after was the vicious Dabao Daoist Jin Guangding.Then he said to Qingyun: "Junior Sister, don't let go of the flower picker in front of you, that is the Daobao Daoist Jin Guangding." Just as he was speaking, the Jin Guangding was accompanied by the one-horned python Ma Xiong, the Fenshui rhinoceros Luhu, and the Guanhai silver dragon. Bai Jin and the other four had already arrived in front of them.Seeing the crowd of people coming, Qingyun knew that Qiu Lin was sick and couldn't do anything, so she said: "Brother, take a step first, and I will send them away." After finishing speaking, she went forward to meet him.
