Chapter 33 Chapter 31: The Legend of the Sword

When the bronze camel appeared in front of Ding Peng and Qingqing, they were really surprised, because the bronze camel actually took off the bronze armor that he never left his body all year round, bent his waist, like an ordinary old man, not at all He looked mighty back then, and even his stature seemed to be much shorter. Qingqing was the most surprised. She knew that the copper camel would never leave his master unless something happened. But she was very calm, after accepting the greeting from the copper camel, she still asked calmly: "Uncle Tong, did grandpa call you here?"

The bronze camel nodded, and Qingqing asked again: "How long are you going to stay?" The copper camel hesitated for a while before saying: "Master ordered his subordinates to come down to serve Mr. Ding and Miss, so there is no need to go back." Qingqing's face darkened, of course she understood that only under one circumstance would the bronze camel not have to go back.She wanted to confirm the news with great reluctance, but she still couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, is the way done?" The copper camel wiped away tears and said: "Yes, the master's road has been completed, and he has ascended out of his body."

Ding Peng couldn't help asking: "Qingqing, what are you talking about?" Qingqing said: "This is the realm of Taoist cultivation..." Ding Peng said: "I know that ascension out of the body is the Taoist realm of becoming a fairy. Has Grandpa already become a fairy?" Qingqing choked with sobs and said: "Yes, grandpa has successfully completed the ninth transformation, and has already transferred from the fox way to the fairy way." Ding Peng's expression was also dark and he said: "Dan Cheng is soaring, this is something to be thankful for, why are you so sad?"

Qingqing said with a strong smile: "Yes, Ding Lang, this should be something to be thankful for. There are not many Linghus who have achieved true results, and grandpa has finally made it through. It's just that there is no way to see each other again." Ding Peng suddenly turned to the copper camel and said, "Senior Copper..." The copper camel hurriedly said: "This subordinate dare not take this title..." Ding Peng said: "I'm not a sect here, and I don't belong to any gang. You, the word subordinate, can't be used." The copper camel said: "This old slave is ordered to serve the young master, so the young master should be called by the copper camel's real name."

Ding Peng thought for a while and said: "Okay! Tongtuo, I know you are a very reserved person, so I won't be polite to you anymore. I want to ask you a word." The copper camel said: "Young Master please give me instructions." "Bronze camel, you should think about it first. You must listen to the definite answer to my questions. If you don't know, answer that you don't know, but if you know, you are not allowed to hide it." The copper camel couldn't help hesitating, looking at Qingqing, Qingqing encouraged him and said: "Uncle Tong, he respects you very much and will not embarrass you."

The copper camel said: "Yes, the old slave knows everything and can say everything." Ding Peng nodded and said, "Okay! I heard that at the entrance of Zhema Valley, experts from the five sects joined forces to ambush and killed many people. Do you know about this?" Pain flashed across the copper camel's face, and it whispered: "This old servant knows." "Do those people who were killed have a deep relationship with you?" The copper camel looked at him in amazement, and said after a long while: "We are like brothers, we love family members."

Ding Peng nodded, and then said: "I heard that the sky fox must go through the military solution before it can fly out of the body. If it goes through the thunder and fire, it will be completely destroyed." The copper camel was a little at a loss and said: "Yes, that's how it is." Ding Peng said: "Then the old man was dismissed by soldiers?" The copper camel only nodded and said: "Yes." Ding Peng's voice suddenly changed sharply: "Who, who did it?" The copper camel paused and said, "It's an old slave." This answer not only surprised Ding Peng, even Qingqing couldn't believe it and said: "Uncle Tong, how could it be you?"

The bronze camel knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "It is indeed the old slave. Because at that time the catastrophe is approaching, the old slave can only help the old master solve the problem." Ding Peng said: "Okay! I believe this is a last resort, you will do this!" The copper camel couldn't help but said: "Yes, the old master is so powerful that no one can defeat him..." In this way, the old master he was talking about was not like Aotian's refined fox.However, Ding Peng didn't seem to pay attention to this point, and sighed softly: "That's good. The news I got was that the old man died at the hands of Liu Ruosong. This not only makes me unbelievable, but also makes me very sad." Guilty."

The copper camel was startled, and quickly asked: "My lord, how did you know, who told you this?" Ding Peng continued: "I know that Liu Ruosong is definitely not a peaceful person, and he will never obediently cast himself under my sect, so even though I spared him, I never let go of my attention to him. There is someone watching him every day, that person knows that he has been to Zhema Valley, and he has also seen the fight outside Zhema Valley..." The copper camel said in astonishment: "It turns out that the young master knows everything." Ding Peng smiled and said: "Yes, I just sent someone to keep an eye on Liu Ruosong, but I know the world's greatest secret."

Qingqing couldn't help but said: "Who is that person, who has such a great ability, what else does he know?" Ding Peng said: "This man's martial art is not high, but his lightness skill and stalking ability are the best in the world. I gave him three thousand taels of gold, and asked him to keep an eye on Liu Ruosong within three years and keep him in check." He told me every move he made, and in the end that person told me such a big news." After a pause, Qingqing said: "Ding Lang, it seems that you know everything." Ding Peng said: "Yes, when I re-entered the rivers and lakes and shocked the world with a magic knife in my hand, I knew you were not Tianhu, because Tianhu is just people's imagination, there is no such thing at all."

Qingqing said: "In the north, the theory of the fox fairy is very supernatural, and there are many people who believe it. There are also many legends about the fox fairy appearing." Ding Peng smiled and said: "Indeed, Liu Ruosong was convinced a while ago, because the things that happened to him are beyond the scope of human ability, and only two words can explain it, but I know Everything is man-made, the so-called supernatural powers are nothing more than the magic power of money, as long as you have money, if you bribe a few people in his family, it is not difficult to make his family run wild and paranoid..." "At that time you already knew that I am not a fox?" Ding Peng laughed and said, "Yes, if you are really a fox, you can use spells to do those things, and you don't need to waste money to bribe people to make troubles." Qingqing Yanran said: "I also know that lie is not clever, you will expose it sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to expose it so early." Ding Peng sighed: "Although I already know the secret of your disguise as a fox, I hope you are a real fox..." "Why, don't you like marrying a fox wife?" "That's not true. If you are a fox, we can find a place to avoid the world and practice." Qingqing said: "It's also possible now. We can still find a secluded place away from this world. I used to pretend to be a fox, and that was the idea." Ding Peng shook his head and said, "Not now, it's too late." "why?" "Because your grandfather passed on his knife to me, and his knife skills also passed on to me..." Qingqing hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand what Grandpa means. He passed on the saber technique to you only because you have excellent aptitude and can make use of the ingenuity of that set of saber technique. The reason why he passed the saber technique to you is because you must Only this knife can bring out the essence of the knife technique, there is no other meaning or requirement." Ding Peng smiled and said, "I know." "Therefore, you don't have to do anything for him." Ding Peng said: "I know it too, but other people don't think so. They know this knife and this set of knife skills." "Who are the others?" Ding Peng said: "It used to be people from the Golden Lion, Silver Dragon, Tie Yan, and the five sects. They thought I was the heir of your grandfather..." "This, you can explain..." "Qingqing, don't be stupid, who will believe my explanation, the best explanation is to swing a knife, and there is no need to explain after swinging a knife." Qingqing was silent for a moment before saying: "Ding Lang, you already know our background!" Ding Peng nodded and said: "Yes, although I didn't know the reputation of the Demon Cult because I had too little experience in the world, but I should know now." "What do you think of the Devil's Cult?" Ding Peng said: "I don't know!" "Why don't you know?" "Of course I don't know. When I debuted, the Demon Cult had stopped its activities. Although others said that the Demon Cult did many evil things, I only saw the disciples of the Demon Cult being persecuted. However, the people I have come into contact with are all loyal and kind..." The copper camel was very touched and said: "Thank you, young master, thank you." Ding Peng was silent for a moment before saying: "The old man passed on his sword skills to me, and his sword to me, just because I am his grandson-in-law." The copper camel said: "Yes! Before the immortal left, the master has repeatedly stated that the young master has nothing to do with the Devil's Cult, and the master has already removed the young lady from the Devil's religion, and now even the old slave is removed from the Devil's religion. people." Ding Peng said: "But the leader is my ancestor, so I still have something to do with it." "The master only hopes that the master can make that set of saber techniques and that magic sword immortal, and he has nothing else to ask for." "Though he wants nothing more from me, I can't help but do something." "What is the son going to do?" "I have to figure out one more thing." "What's the matter?" "The relationship between Xie Xiaoyu and the Devil's Cult, although she is Xie Xiaofeng's daughter, she has many subordinates, including the former apostate elders, the Golden Lion and Silver Dragon, who all listen to her instructions. There is no doubt that she is related to the Devil's Sect. closely related." The bronze camel pondered for a long time before saying: "She is the daughter born of Hero Xie and Palace Master Tianmei. As for how Hero Xie and Palace Master Tianmei got married, this old slave is not clear." "Tell me what you know." "Yes, that's a very long story. Palace Master Tianmei's original name is Sun Xingyu..." "The 'small building listening to the spring rain all night' engraved on the knife refers to her?" "Yes, that was a long time ago..." It's the rainy season again. It has been three years since Tongtuo came to Ding's house. The past three years have been very peaceful, but there are also some things to be thankful for. The most important thing is that Qingqing gave birth to two sons. A pair of white and chubby twins are now one year old. On the day when it was one year old, the Ding Mansion was extremely lively. People from all corners of the country, famous or not, came to congratulate her. Ding Peng actually went against his usual arrogant attitude and appeared in front of those people very kindly. Thank you for your congratulations. During the banquet, there was a very popular ceremony - grasping the week. That is to put a lot of representative things on a plate and let the two little babies grab them. A one-year-old child naturally doesn't know what to choose, and just grabs at will according to his own interests. The first item he grabs is said to be able to predict the child's future. If he catches a small gold abacus, he will be a successful businessman. If he grasped an official seal, he would definitely be a high official in the future. In the Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu first grabbed a box of rouge when he was catching Zhou, and thus he got a lifetime of love and evil entanglement. The two little guys came out, white and fat, very innocent, laughing and joking, not shy at all. Catch Zhou's plate was also served, and there were many things selected by the adults, but there was one thing that everyone was very surprised by. It was a knife with a sheath, a black knife. It is Ding Peng's mighty magic knife, engraved with the poem "The small building listens to the spring rain all night", a knife that shocks the world. The knife was placed on the plate, still exuding a murderous aura. The two brothers looked at the plate for a while, and then reached out to grab the knife at the same time. There were so many fun things on the plate, they all dismissed them, but at the same time they took a fancy to the knife. The boss grabbed the handle of the knife, and the second child grabbed the scabbard, and the two struggled. With a choke, the knife came out of the sheath, and the knife was caught in the hand of the boss. The surrounding guests let out an exclamation. Only Ding Peng smiled and said: "Very well, you guys are very knowledgeable, and you have made the best choice." He stepped forward, took the knife from the elder's hand, and tapped two fingers on the child's shoulders. The child cried out with a wow. Qingqing turned pale with fright, came out quickly, and picked up the child, but the child's hands were already hanging limply, she asked anxiously: "Ding Lang, what are you doing?" Ding Peng said: "It's nothing, I just crippled the tendons of his hands, it will definitely not affect his development, but he will never be able to practice martial arts for the rest of his life." Qingqing choked up and said: "Oh, the child is still young. He doesn't understand anything, even if you don't let him practice martial arts, it doesn't have to be like this." Ding Peng said: "I don't object to children practicing martial arts, but he chose a knife without a sheath. If the sharpness is not hidden, it is bound to be fierce. Therefore, he cannot inherit this knife. The knife belongs to the second child." Qingqing has always been a submissive wife. At this time, she showed more respect for Ding Peng, and said solemnly: "You are right." Ding Peng put the saber back into its sheath, and said, "Bronze camel." The copper camel held the second child in its hands, and said respectfully: "The old slave is here." Ding Peng said: "Someone came to see you yesterday, do you want to leave?" The copper camel murmured: "That's just...just..." Ding Peng said: "It's okay, I know that the old lady sent someone to look for you. Her disciples have already completed their studies, and they need you to help." Seeing what he said, Tong Tuo could only say: "The old madam has brought a group of new disciples, and the manpower is insufficient. I want the old slave to help her, but because the old slave didn't get the master's permission..." Ding Peng said: "Okay, I'm fine here, you can go." "Thank you son." Ding Peng said: "Don't thank me, I still have something to trouble you, you take this knife and take the second child with you, he is Qingqing's flesh and blood, he should be qualified to inherit the old man's career, I think the old lady There will be no objection." The copper camel didn't know why, and Ding Peng said again: "Although I decided this matter too recklessly, but the old man has no descendants anymore, and the devil's sword is also in my hands, so I can probably be half of the master. From now on, this child will be the leader of this generation of the Demon Cult. Before he turns eighteen, he will be supervised and raised by the old lady and you. After he turns eighteen, he will officially succeed..." The copper camel knelt down and said: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..." He was so excited that his voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak. Ding Peng pulled him up and said: "Don't say such things. I was cultivated by the Yue family and I feel that I can't repay you. This is the only thing I can do, sir. Er's qualifications are the same as mine when I was young, I believe he can take on this responsibility, but you have to supervise and control him well." The copper camel kowtowed again and again: "Yes! Yes! This old slave will definitely live up to his trust." Ding Peng said: "The two children haven't been named yet, and I'm just waiting for a decision today. Although this decision is a bit hasty, it's entirely due to God's will. Maybe it's the old man's decision made in the spirit of heaven. You You can tell the old lady about the situation." "yes!" Ding Peng said again: "You can also go and tell the old lady that the Demon Cult can be revived. You don't have to be afraid of being hindered. I have everything. However, I can take care of this child until he reaches adulthood, and when he is eighteen years old, I will completely let go No matter. I have asked Agu and Xiangxiang to prepare a car and wait at the back door, you can go now!" "Yes! But, young master, the young master doesn't need this knife yet, so let's keep it with young master." Ding Peng smiled and said: "No need, you can take it with you, let's go." The bronze camel kowtowed for a while, carried the child in its arms, took the knife, and walked away from behind.Then Ding Peng said to the crowd: "Come! Come! Let's sit down and drink. Everyone is so kind. Ding is very grateful, but anyone who wants to leave before the end of the table will have to offend Ding, because Tong Elder Tuo just took the young master of the Demon Cult away, and I don't want anyone to follow them." The whole audience was solemn, and no one spoke. Ding Peng raised his glass with a smile and toasted seat by seat. When we arrived at a table, we suddenly found that there were two people missing. A man here said: "The two of them just went for convenience, and they will be back soon." Ding Peng only smiled, and suddenly took out a small dagger, and then casually pulled off a chair leg from the chair. In the hall, he slowly chipped away at the chair leg with the dagger. This move surprised everyone, watching him barely cut a round chair leg into the shape of a knife. At this moment, there were two figures quietly walking out from the side of the hall.Ding Peng turned around with a smile, and stopped in front of them: "You two are leaving?" The faces of the two changed drastically, and they both stabbed Ding Peng with their swords at the same time. Although these two people were unknown, they had two swords in their hands, and their momentum was fierce, which was by no means inferior to today's famous masters. In terms of kendo standards, they can definitely be ranked among the top ten masters today, and their swords are all sharp weapons made of fine steel. Ding Peng only had one knife in his hand, a wooden knife. He used the wooden knife, waved it lightly, and made two ding-ding sounds, and the two fine steel long swords were broken into two pieces. Those two people rushed forward more than a dozen steps, and then everyone fell down in two pieces. Just like the result of that magic knife. Ding Peng gently dropped the wooden knife in his hand, and sighed: "Xie Xiaofeng had already given up the sword ten years ago, and I can only throw away the steel knife until today, and I still have to use the wooden knife, compared to him , I’m still far behind, ashamed! Ashamed!” Xiaoxiang and Agu are back.Ding Peng and Qing Qing are teasing their child Ding Kewen in the house. After Xiaoxiang came in, she knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times, Ding Peng said with a smile: "What's wrong with you girl, you suddenly performed a big salute." Xiao Xiang said: "This is what the old lady ordered the servant girl to kowtow to the young master on his behalf." Ding Peng quickly stood up and said, "How dare you do that, you kid is just joking." Xiao Xiang said: "The old lady said that the etiquette should be like this, and she said that this is not her personal gratitude, but the gratitude of the ancestors of the Demon Cult. Thanks to Mr. Xie, the blood of the Demon Cult can continue." Ding Peng thought for a while before saying, "How is Grandma?" "The old lady is very nice. She hugged the young master and kissed and smiled, as if she was ten years younger. She couldn't keep her mouth shut all day long." Qingqing said: "Is their place safe?" Xiao Xiang said: "It's very safe. There are fifty male and female young disciples each. The males practice swords and the females learn swords. Elder Tong tried it out. One-on-one, probably a tie can be maintained." Ding Peng said: "Oh! I didn't expect them to be so powerful. According to their strength, self-protection is enough. How is the terrain there?" Qingqing said: "It's a small island in the middle of a lake, surrounded by water on all sides." Ding Peng frowned and said: "This is not good. Although there is danger in the lake, the enemy still cannot be stopped. What's more, people on the island often become slack because of natural dangers and ignore vigilance." Xiao Xiang said: "The servant girl also reminded the old lady of this point. Elder Tong said that he would pay attention immediately and extend the security net to the surrounding lakeshore." Ding Peng nodded and said, "That's about the same, but no matter how strict the security is, it can't stop the enemy with a heart." Xiao Xiang said: "Elder Copper said that attack is the best defense, but the old lady objected, she said that the past can be used as a warning, the devil's religion strives to survive in order to preserve the tradition, and in the future it will become a branch of the martial arts, and no more murders will be caused. " Ding Peng sighed softly: "I'm afraid others don't think so." Xiao Xiang said: "The old lady said that everything is up to me. The Devil's Cult does not fight for aggression, but for the sake of survival, it will never back down when fighting for self-defense." Ding Peng nodded, and then said: "Did you encounter any trouble on the way home?" Xiaoxiang thought for a while and said, "No, it's very calm." "This is unbelievable. I thought that at least someone would stop you and force you to ask where you were going." Xiao Xiang said: "The maid also thought so, but there was no one there. Although the maid felt that someone was always following behind, no one stepped forward to stop her." Ding Peng nodded and said: "Maybe the other party feels that they are short of manpower. It is not easy to stop you and A Gu." At this point, there was a sound of feather flapping outside the window, and then a white and angry pigeon flew in and landed on Ding Peng's hand. That is the communication system built by Ding Peng himself.No one in the family bothered to ask, and no one dared to go in when he removed the small cylinder from the pigeon's feet. After reading the report on the note, Ding Peng smiled and said, "Xiao Xiang, although you didn't encounter any trouble, but on your way back, at least forty masters were killed in secret places along the way." Xiao Xiang was slightly startled and said: "There will be such a thing, why doesn't the maid know about it?" "The people who were sniped were all veterans of the operation, and their hiding places are even more secretive, and it is impossible for you to find out." "Who are those people?" "They are masters belonging to the five sects, but most of them are from the Kongtong and Emei sects. Their purpose is to intercept you." "Then who killed them?" Ding Peng said: "They are a group of masked killers whose identities are unknown, but I already know who sent them out." "Who?" "Liu Ruosong's subordinate, I know that this guy is unwilling to be lonely, and he is very quiet. Qingqing, we should also go out for activities. We have been lying at home for three years, and people have become lazy. If we don't move, many old people Friends will forget us." Qingqing didn't speak. She never objected to Ding Peng's words.
