Chapter 70 Chapter 69: One Heart to the Tao, Soft Words to Persuade Tan Lang to Move the Mountains and Drive the Ancient Cave of Magical Powers

Bai and Dai hurriedly ordered the house to be tidied up and rested with the Taoist priests who came from afar.Xiangying and Yunfeng privately begged Wenqi and Qingyun, two chivalrous women, to turn to Master Yuqing to take them under their door.The master smiled and said: "The two of them are not bad in aptitude. I accepted Zhang Yaoqing, fearing that my mentor would be offended, I worried for a long time, and did not officially admit it. Fortunately, my mentor allowed me to accept it. I am no better than others, no He would put on the airs of a teacher, but this one didn't know how to teach the Dharma, and asked me to accept the second one. I really didn't dare to obey. I saw that my senior sister Suyin and my junior sister Qi Xia'er both confiscated apprentices, and I was alone. I'm uneasy. I intend to introduce Ms. Dai to the elder sister's family after the matter is over. Whether she accepts it or not is her fate. If she accepts it, wouldn't she be much better than me? As for Miss Ling, who is of immortal blood, is the great-granddaughter of Senior Bai Yun, and she is so talented, I think Senior Bai can't help but give her some advice because of Xian Qu's auntie?" Wen Qi, Qingyun pleaded for several times, but Master Yuqing insisted on not accepting it, so he had to return Xiangying and Yunfeng according to the truth.Seeing that Master Yuqing was willing to refer her to Master Suyin, Xiangying knew that immortals would not tell lies, so she feared that she would not be able to meet Master Suyin, and she was both sad and happy.He secretly begged Master Yuqing to take her away after the matter was over.What she meant was to rely on Master Yuqing, no matter who it is, if Master Suyin refuses to accept him, he can still follow Master Ding Yuqing to death, no matter how hard it is, he must learn swordsmanship to death.Master Yuqing was kind and kind, and she agreed to her begging.Xiangying naturally feels at ease.Only Yunfeng is a person who is strong on the outside and on the inside, with an extremely lonely and arrogant nature. Seeing the master's words that seem to refuse or not, she suspects that she is not qualified enough and has no celestial fate, and she is very bitter.She also begged behind her back a few times, but was politely rejected by the master, who only said that her current mortal relationship is still unbroken, and that she will meet a fairy relationship in the future, and her achievements will be higher than Xiangying.Yunfeng couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help secretly blaming her father for marrying her early.If I knew that there are sword immortals in the world, why would I marry someone?The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, and I became indifferent towards Yunzhong.In the dead of night, I went to burn incense, and wished to my great-grandaunt Ling Xuehong, begging her to bless her early encounter with the fairy.

In the middle of the night of the second day of junior high school, Yunfeng walked out of the back garden, met Yu Yunzhong, and called him back: "Come with me to a secluded place, I have something important to say to you." The wife really loves and respects and forgets to die. She often thinks that after the third year of junior high school, she will choose a date to get engaged and get married early.Suddenly hearing that Yunfeng was talking to him behind the back of others, he was very happy, so he followed her to a place where there was no one behind a rock.Yunfeng found a stone and sat down.Yun Zhong stood beside him, waiting to listen carefully, when Yun Feng suddenly blushed, and smiled at him, "Sit down, too." While speaking, she pointed at the rock she was sitting on, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.When Yun Zhong heard the words, he was flattered and sat down next to each other.Yunfeng slightly turned her body to the side.Yunzhong approached Xiangze at the beginning, even though he was usually mature, he couldn't help shaking his heart, and took advantage of the situation to pull Yunfeng's slender hand.Yunfeng was caressed by him without any twitching.Under the reflection of the setting sun, Yun Zhong saw that the beauty sitting beside him was really radiant and charming.She couldn't help being intoxicated, her eyes fixed on Yunfeng's face, she held her jade hand, and just squeezed it lightly without saying a word.After a while, Yunfeng smiled and said, "Do you think I look good?" Yunzhong said, "Sister, you are so wonderful." Yunfeng said again, "Do you love me or not?" Yunzhong said, "I love you very much." I'm old." Yunfeng suddenly said seriously: "Am I getting old?" Yun Zhong said: "You are old, am I not too old? Since we have a good relationship, I wish we could be husband and wife forever, and our mutual affection will naturally increase day by day. And Mi Du. Who is not old? What’s wrong with being old?” Yunfeng sneered and said, “If it’s true as you said, you and I will be very affectionate when we grow old. What are you going to do if some external disaster wants to separate us?" Yun Zhong said, "My sister and I lived in the same room and died in the same cave. For example, in a natural disaster, the life limit has expired, and it cannot be restored by human power. Needless to say. If you encounter bullying from outsiders for no reason, with the abilities of the two of us, why are you afraid of him?" Yunfeng said: "Hmph! Talking about your ability, even I can't do it. Let's take this time as the same Chen Wei complained that if it wasn't for the help of Bai and Dai, we still don't know if we could have saved our lives. Now that Lu Cun is helping the king, it's still hard to decide the outcome of the two rounds. Even if this time we have the help of senior sword immortals, we can gain the upper hand , but once the enmity ends, we will retaliate against each other in a circle, and we will do it again. The senior sword immortals cannot follow and protect us forever. Is that good?" Yun Zhong said: "If this happens again in a day, my sister will suffer from others, and I will risk my life if I don't want it, and I will share life and death with them. If it doesn't work, I will die." Yunfeng Said: "What's the use of fighting to death? In this way, don't say that you will be a couple forever, and even this life will be difficult to grow old together." Yunzhong said: "What do you think?" Yunfeng said: "I used to be proud of my ability Gao Qiang, it's pitiful. It wasn't until I met some new chivalrous women that I realized that there are people beyond the human world, and there is a sky beyond the sky. It turns out that sword celestial beings are also made by humans. You really have no ambition. There are many sword celestial knights here, so don't try to ask for advice. , and only focus on the comfort and happiness in front of me. When the opportunity is missed and the enemy retaliates, then it will be too late to regret. I came to you for a secret talk today because Xiangying sister has been allowed by Master Yuqing to be introduced to Master Suyin. I also begged a few times, but the master only faltered with words. I think it depends on people's efforts, and the heart is hard to wear, and the master is very good at talking. I plan to take this opportunity, no matter whether the master is willing or not, after the matter is over, life and death will be settled. Master, I beg her to take it with you. Although I can’t say goodbye to you temporarily, I’m going to find a long-term plan for a hundred years. You also go to beg Tong Laojian to take it back to her sect. If it doesn’t work, you serve my old father for me, and I will learn it. Later, I will teach it to you. Not only will you not be afraid of being bullied in the future, but you may also meet a fairy fate and live forever. Isn’t it better than a temporary pleasure in this world? You are a sensible person, and you also know my temper. , but you are not allowed to tell Dad in advance. If the news leaks out, I will never talk to you again in this life." Talking all the way, stood up and left.Yunzhong hurriedly shouted: "Sister, go slowly, there is still something to say." Yunfeng had already gone away.

In fact, Yunzhong didn't have the desire to make progress. When Tong Yuanqi came, he asked Huang and Zhao to beg for him to be accepted as his disciple.Tong Yuanqi just smiled and said: "He has his own arrangements, why do you need me?" Yun Zhong's family is rich and rich, and there is a beautiful and heroic wife in front of him who is about to pass the door.When I saw that I begged twice but failed to get the point, I was willing to learn from mandarin ducks and not envy immortals.Later, when Ling Cao said that Yunfeng and Xiangying wanted to worship Master Yuqing, he was taken aback and hurriedly asked Ling Cao to dissuade them, and he was always paying attention to inquire.Fortunately, Master Yuqing refused to help Yunfeng, so he can rest assured.Knowing Yunfeng's arrogant nature, she was shy and ashamed, and pretended to be ignorant when they met, and never talked about it.Seeing Yunfeng today asked him to go to a place where no one was around for a secret talk, it seemed like half a day to settle the matter, to discuss the wedding arrangements with him, and to say a few words of her own.I don't want Yunfeng to talk a lot about the truth, but I still want to return to the book, and I want to part with him for three to five years, and go to learn from Master Yuqing.It's like carrying a basin of cold water around your head until it cools down to the soles of your feet.Knowing that Yunfeng had made up her mind and it was impossible to undo it, she didn't dare to tell Ling Cao directly, and it would be even more difficult to offend her.Seeing that this month's festival has become a fantasy again, why not rush?The more I thought about it, the more annoying I was, and I returned to the front hall dejectedly.Because tomorrow morning is the third day of junior high school, except for one or two people who are patrolling outside, the rest of them are talking in the hall.

After Yunzhong sat down, he just meditated. He saw Yunfeng chatting with Xiangying and the four chivalrous women several times.Yun Zhong was sitting closest to Master Yuqing, when he suddenly saw Master Yuqing smiling and nodding at him, Yun Zhong was moved.He thought to himself: "Could it be that she has already seen my thoughts? Why don't you just follow the plan and beg her not to take Yunfeng away tomorrow? The sword fairy comes and goes without a trace, if she is determined not to take it, Yunfeng can't go if she wants to." I had to think about how to choose my words tomorrow, when Master Yuqing smiled and said to Tong Yuanqi: "I think the noble sect should be happy, most of the young men and women I have met in the past two years have very deep roots. , the result is still not long to return the original, it is really a miracle." Tong Yuanqi said: "This place happened within a day or two, I heard that the master brought one or two people with him, is there such a thing?" The master said: "The younger generation has shallow morals, The mentor of the Meng family didn't add guilt, and accepted Zhang Yaoqing, which was too much, why dare to accept more disciples? Because Dai and Ling are very well-established, Miss Ling is the nephew and great-granddaughter of old Bai, and she has her own fairy tales. Fate does not allow juniors to go beyond their teachings; Miss Dai is sincere to the Tao and has noble aspirations and deeds. Take it to the senior sister and beg her to take it back under the sect. Do you think so?" Tong Yuanqi said: "I mistakenly accepted Luo Jiu, which exhausted me a lot and brought shame to the family. The master teacher in the future will inevitably see the crime. I didn't want to accept any more disciples, one is that Zhang Qixin's foundation is so great that he has to be cultivated, and the other is because of Master Utan's introduction, so I can't refuse to accept him. From now on, I'm determined to rather be short than to be indiscriminate, and I dare not accept disciples casually."

After hearing this, Yun Zhong knew that what Master Yuqing meant was not to agree to take Yunfeng away, so he was a little relieved.However, Master Yuqing said that she does not have a predestined relationship to immortality, presumably it is a evasion, even if she does, it will be in the future.Don't worry about it, just wait for the matter to be over, and immediately urge the old father-in-law to hold a wedding. At that time, the husband and wife were loving, and if they wanted to have boys and girls, she would not be able to leave even if she wanted to.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad and happy.Yunfeng is so smart, listening to Master Yuqing's words, it seems to point out her concern, expressing her refusal, worried and anxious.Shicai secretly saw Yunzhong worrying, but now seeing him turning his sorrow into joy, he secretly hated him for taking pleasure in other's misfortune, and couldn't help feeling angry.I thought to myself: "You don't want to go, I'll show you!" I'm afraid that Master Yuqing will not allow, and the sword fairy will disappear, and I won't be able to track him.I also want to wait until the dead of night, and then plead with Master Yuqing, asking for death.Even though his heart is like this, there is no trace on his face, and he can still talk and laugh freely with all the chivalrous women.That goes without saying.

Bai Qi sees that tomorrow is the moment of life and death for both parties, so everything is arranged very carefully.I personally ran to the square to inspect it several times and felt satisfied.After dinner, Tong Yuanqi, Master Yuqing, and Taoist Tie Mao were invited to preside over everything.Tong Yuanqi had the highest seniority, so he stopped being polite and sat down in the middle.Master Yuqing and Taoist Tie Mino sat on both sides.Everyone else took their seats in turn.Tong Yuanqi said: "Since Lu Village invites capable people to come this time, it will definitely change its original plan and come here with great fanfare. Since he is like this, we don't need to hide our heads and show our tails. At that time, the two village owners Bai and Dai will still be the leaders to welcome them. Afterwards, I will invite them to the table to show the friendship of the landlord. From now on, the poor will answer to Fa Yuan and resolve with you two. If there is any disagreement, I will propose that all the people invited by both parties come to the square and share Sit in the tents on both sides. Chen Wei and Dai Jiachang are the main players on the stage first, one against one, and resolve the disputes between the two parties by fighting. If the onlookers invited by each party are not satisfied, they will fight each other according to the depth of their skills. In addition, we sent dozens of village strongmen to prepare vines and other things to carry and protect the injured. We need to recognize the enemy. Except for the mountain man Yao Kaijiang who was dealt with by Master Yuqing, I only dealt with Fayuan, and fellow Daoist Iron Sorrel specifically dealt with that Guo Yunpu. Except for these three relatively brilliant heretics, the rest can be dealt with by the brothers of the younger generation."

The assignment was fixed, Tong Yuanqi asked Taoist Tie Mao to go to Lu Village to see what was true.Taoist Tie Liao went there for about an hour, and had already met with Wei Qing, took a closer look, and came back to report: "Yao Kaijiang and the multi-armed bear Mao Taiye have arrived in Lu Village, and they have invited many party members, including the Ciyun Temple in Chengdu who slipped through the net. The three-eyed red Nixue Mang, the nine-tailed celestial fox Liu Yanniang, the thunderbolt hand Yu Chiyuan, etc. The rest are Lu Xianming and Luo Jiu's party members in the old days. Although there are a few people with very high martial arts, none of them know swordsmanship. Now Many people wanted to learn swordsmanship under Fa Yuan's sect. They heard that Fa Yuan would accept everyone and would not refuse anyone who came. They planned to destroy this place tomorrow, so they held a ceremony of apprenticeship and were sent back to Mount Wutai by Mrs. Mao. Fa Yuan arrived again Huangshan Wuyun went to find Xu Feiniang, and discussed how to get revenge." Tong Yuanqi laughed and said, "After the sword competition in Chengdu, the elder brother in charge said that all the disciples should separate from each other and practice their external skills diligently. Those gangs are doing harm to the world. There is no place to search for them. It is a rare opportunity for them to throw themselves into the net. It is perfect. However, there must be a lot of dead people in the fight tomorrow. The government under Hu Nu usually does not persuade the people to persuade people The two villages fight with each other, pretending to be deaf and dumb beforehand, and never resolve it for the announcement first, and turn the fighting into peace; once there is an incident, many people will be killed and injured, the two families will file a lawsuit, and hundreds of families will go bankrupt in the lawsuit. If we do not prepare in advance My idea is that although tomorrow will be a complete victory, Dai's family field will still be inseparable. It is best to ask everyone to pay attention, if you meet the natives of the hometown brought by Lu Village and Chen Wei, they can only be captured alive except for the evil master, so as not to hurt them. Litigation will be involved in the future. After the matter is over, one or two comrades will stay here for a while. If there is a lawsuit, they will go to the government to warn the government, so as not to involve goodness. The two parties will agree in advance that they will settle their own affairs and never use the officials. Good This is a remote place in the mountains, if the person involved doesn't sue, it's not easy for the government to find out, even if they hear about it, it's fine if no one comes forward." Everyone admired Tong Yuanqi's foresight and foresight.

At the end of the third watch, suddenly the lights on the upper floor in front of me were fluttering, and the sound of gongs was loud.Bai Qi was taken aback, suspecting that Lu Village did not keep his word and sneaked into Dai's farm in the dark.But the enemy has a lot of sword skills, why openly enter from the front Taniguchi?While ordering preparations, he made an appointment with Xuanji and Xinyuan, and flew out to watch the movement.When I met the visitors, I realized that they were all my friends and fellow disciples, so I hurriedly accepted them and met everyone.It turns out that Bai Qi went to Shanhua to find out whether Luo Xin was there a few days ago, and only saw Luo Xin's disciple Chu Mingqiu.After waiting for a few days, Luo Xin didn't come back, so he asked Chu Mingqiu to wait for Luo Xin to come back and tell him, but he still went back to Daijiachang to wait.After Bai Qi left, Chu Mingqiu was very worried about him, because he was ordered by his teacher to not leave.He was in a dilemma, and suddenly a friend of Luo and Bai, Yu Shunnong from the Five Heroes of the Xiangjiang River, came to visit him a few days ago, and Chu Mingqiu told him about Bai Qi.Hearing this, Yu Shunnong was indignant and rushed back to Xiangtan. He made an appointment with Huang Renyu, Huang Renlong, Muji, and Lin Qiushui among the Five Heroes of the Xiangjiang River, and also invited Yue Dapeng from Shanhua Guandi Temple. home field.Taniguchi's defenders saw the approaching man walking swiftly and acting suspiciously, and raised their lights, which caused the misunderstanding.Dai Jiachang added a few more knights out of thin air, and he is more at ease waiting for tomorrow's fight.do not mention.

When we got up early in the third day of junior high school, everyone gathered in the front hall.Everyone acted according to the position of duty assigned by Tong Yuanqi.Only Bai Qi, Dai Hengyu, Xu Chao, Xinyuan, Xuanji, Master Yuqing, Taoist Tieluo, Wanli Feihong and Tong Yuanqi were left waiting in the front hall.The Five Heroes of Xiangjiang guard Taniguchi.Until the time of Chenpai, there was no trace of the enemy.Everyone was wondering, when they suddenly heard a loud bang and a big earthquake, the outside seemed to be cracked and landslides, people's voices were noisy, and it rang together.The eight swordsmen in the hall hurried out to look around, they saw dust flying up and down over the Fish God Cave, up to several tens of feet high.The villagers panicked, thinking that a catastrophe was coming.Bai Qi hurriedly gave orders to everyone: This is a demon technique, it cannot hurt people, everyone must remain calm and not allow themselves to be panicked.These villagers have been trained in the past, and they have heard that the three owners have invited many swordsmen and knights to help them.It was only when they thought there was an earthquake that everyone panicked.Now seeing the owner of the village coming out with several sword celestial beings, they stopped immediately with a loud noise, thinking that it must be the sword celestial mana, and seeing Bai Qi delivering the order, they felt at ease and did not dare to act recklessly.Master Yuqing knew that the monster from Lu Village had made Xuanxu, and was waiting to meet him, when he saw two sword lights, Wen Qi and Qingyun, both chivalrous men and women, flew towards him, and said: "The disciples and the other four were ordered to patrol the sky. Just then, when I walked to the Yushen Cave, suddenly there was a landslide and a big earthquake, and the mountain peak pressing on the top of the Yushen Cave rose out of thin air, smashing the top of the Yushen Cave and opening up the old road of Lu Village, but no one came. Now why? The two sisters, Cui and Cui, are defending there, so I came here to ask for instructions." After explaining, they went back to the original place to defend.Immediately, He Mei reported again with Yu Jianfei: "After the old road of Yushen Cave was opened up by Lu Village with the demon method, there are now twelve people with disheveled hair and strange shapes appearing from Lu Village. He went up with a lot of brute force. When the people here answered him, they seemed to be stunned, and they just slowly leveled the cave without saying a word. The disciple did not dare to act rashly because he obeyed the law, so he came here to ask for instructions."

Tong Yuanqi said: "Understood, you will stay where you are, and we will arrive later." He Mei was ordered to go.Tong Yuanqi said: "The enemy thinks that the road ahead is far away, so they deliberately use the method of Liuding to open the mountain to open up the old road of Yushen Cave, thinking that it will be the first to win. What's your opinion, Master?" Master Yuqing said: "According to the younger generation's observation, those twelve people must be the villagers of Lu Village, who are under the control of demons and have infinite power. They first used demons to open up the mountain road, but deliberately drove Liu Ding to possess them to repair the cave road. .When the cave road is flattened, they will come over in a leisurely manner. This is nothing more than a sorcerer's sorcery, designed to dazzle the eyes and ears. We just pretend not to know and go forward. When they pass through the cave, the younger generation should do a little bit The small art back then made him know what to be on guard." Tong Yuanqi said: "Master used to be wonderfully enlightened, and he also sought the right way from Master Youtan. The Buddha's power is boundless. Today we can open our eyes." Master Yuqing said: "The heretical way, In order to protect the living beings in the family, I have to repeat the old tricks, the seniors are too praised."

Everyone was talking, and Qingyun came to report again: "The twelve weirdos have already leveled the mountain road. They were not far from the entrance of the cave here, and they suddenly disappeared. There was no movement on the other side. Only under the hillside next to the Fish God Cave, there was a man dressed in clothes. The very tattered Huazi was catching lice in the sun. We saw the landslide, the cracked sand and rocks flying, and his expression was a little strange. Later, we went to look for him, but he disappeared." Tong Yuanqi still ordered Qingyun to stay where he was.He said to Master Yuqing: "Looking at the situation, it is obvious that the enemy is playing tricks to alarm us so that we can go forward. But he moved slowly and made us wait for a long time, so as to satisfy his contempt." Master Yuqing said: "It's nothing to worry about." After finishing speaking, he counted with his fingers, and then said: "Today is the end of the day, the mountain people follow the direction of the day, and they will not start until noon. There are four chivalrous women in Yushen Cave. Defense, the distance is very close, and we have repeatedly told to deal with it carefully, there will be no mistakes. We greeted him too quickly, and he despised us, suspecting that we were in a panic. It is best to ignore him and count the time, even the Four Heroes and Women Recall. At the end of the day and the beginning of the afternoon, the owner of Baizhuang will go to meet them alone, and the younger generation will follow in secret, as long as it is so convenient." Then he recounted the strategy. After discussing it, Bai Qi accompanied the swordsmen to the square to have a look.This square is facing the gate of Daijiachang, behind it is a big mountain peak, and two small peaks protrude from both sides of the mountain peak, which happens to surround this square.Two reed sheds were set up on the half-waist of the two small peaks, obliquely facing the ring in the middle.Since the arrival of Tong Yuanqi and Master Yuqing successively, the previous arrangement has changed a lot.Instead, start under the two mat sheds, and plant a lotus pile at a distance of two feet in front of each mat shed.The lotus stake is made of thin wooden blocks, shaped like a lotus flower, but under the wooden plank, a thin bamboo pole is used to hold it firmly and inserted into the soil.Four or five feet in front of the pile, a sand embankment with a three to four feet long and pointed top is piled up with very fine yellow sand.The two ends of the sand embankment are about Zhang Xu apart, and two lotus piles are inserted in the sand embankments on both sides.Turning from here to the ring side, there are all extremely sharp three-pointed and two-edged knives, with the blades facing upwards, of different lengths, arranged in various styles of paths, leading to the entrance of the stage.There are two more lotus stakes, which are larger than the previous two, and the bamboo poles are also thinner.The mat sheds on both sides were only more than ten feet apart, facing each other far away.It is closer to the front ring, only six or seven feet away.Bai Qi deliberately used these various arrangements to show off his superb martial arts of the Xiangjiang School.The contestants from the two sides stood still on the lotus stakes swaying in the wind from the arena, and said "please" to the opposite side.Then vertically from the lotus pile to the flat sand embankment.Instead of rushing to the arena, each of them used the skill of Dengping crossing the seaweed to fly along the sand embankment to the center point where the two sheds are opposite, and vertically reached the two lotus stakes.At this time, the two parties are not more than ten feet away from each other, so we can each say a few words about the rivers and lakes here.Then he raised his hand and said "please" again, and stood still on the pile, making a posture at will.Turn around and jump to the top of the knife embankment that is several feet long, go straight to the ring along the knife embankment, jump to the third lotus pile, and jump onto the arena that is four or five feet above the ground to fight.These three lotus stakes are different from each other: the first one is inserted in the soil and is still a little firm; the second one is inserted in the sand and runs on the sand embankment, where no footprints are allowed, and then stretches from the sand to the lotus stake. , wouldn't it be more difficult?In the end, it doesn't really matter if the knife embankment falls, the most difficult thing is to move from the third lotus stake to the platform, how can it be done without extreme lightness?Bai Qi and all the swordsmen went on a tour, feeling satisfied.Looking at the end of time, Bai Qi and Master Yuqing went to the entrance of the Fish God's Cave in the light and in the dark. By the way, Bai Qi said goodbye to all the swordsmen, straightened his clothes, and walked to Yushen Cave alone.Not far from the entrance of the cave, I saw Qingyun and Wen Qi flying in from the sky, and Bai Qi reported: "The four of us did not show up at the entrance of the cave for the time being in compliance with Master Tong's decree , only patrolling back and forth in the air, until this time there is still no movement. Just now Master Yuqing arrived first in stealth, looked at the isolated peak that stood up in the same situation, and asked me to tell Master Bai: When I was young, I saw the enemy coming out of the cave. Hearing the words, Bai Qi memorized heart.Wen Qi and Qingyun have finished their explanations, so go and prepare according to what Tong Yuanqi said just now.do not mention.
