After turning the Xifeng Mountain Road, which has the strongest winds, Zheng Gui felt very chilly even though the weather inside was quite good. He walked a few steps quickly and took a detour to the south of the mountain to stand in front of a stone wall to avoid the cold wind.
After adjusting his breath for a moment, he felt the warmth all over his body. Zheng Gui then covered his head with his sleeves and leaned forward to look at the Wuseless Nunnery in the distance, which was almost hidden in the wind and snow.
Calculating the days in his mind, Zheng Gui secretly thought: The head senior sister has been at Wuse Nunnery for half the month, and Baiyun Nunnery for the other half month, so today she should be in charge of things at Baiyun Nunnery.
With a flick of his sleeves to block the wind and snow, Zheng Gui jumped up and flew ten feet away. He placed his right foot on the thick snow and flew away again. In a moment, he disappeared on the mountain road covered with ice and snow after a few ups and downs, leaving only
The half-foot-deep footprints on the snowy ground were quickly covered by snowflakes.
The Hengshan sect has never been famous for its Qinggong. Among the Five Mountains sword sects, only the Nanyue Hengshan sect is better at Qinggong. The rest of the Huashan sect, the Taishan sect, the Songshan sect, and the Hengshan sect are naturally excellent in swordsmanship, and their internal skills are also unique skills. However,
In Qinggong, even the Xichuan Qingcheng Sect is slightly inferior.
Zheng Gui's training time is still short. His swordsmanship, fists and kicks, and internal strength are pretty good, but his lightness skills are a little worse. That's why he left footprints more than half a foot deep on the snow. If he were Dingyi, the thickness of the footprints would not be more than
Three inches.
Although his steps were clumsy, fortunately Zheng Gui's physical strength was not weak and he arrived at Baiyun Temple in less than a cup of tea.
Since the onset of winter, there have been few pilgrims on the mountain, and the mountain has been closed since it snowed. Therefore, after Zheng Gui knocked on the door, it took a long time for the disciple on duty to open the door.
Seeing Zheng Gui, this thirty-year-old nun bowed and said, "Uncle Ding."
Zheng Gui waved his sleeves without waiting for the nun to greet him and said, "There is no need to be too polite in Yitong. Is the master here?"
Although Nun Yitong is one of the older ones among the Yi generation, she became a disciple late and has not been practicing for a long time. After hearing this, she hurriedly led Zheng Gui to the hospital and said: "Uncle Master and Uncle Master are in retreat.
Uncle Dingyi is now in charge."
Zheng Gui knew that in recent years, Senior Sister Dingxian and Senior Sister Dingjing have successively cultivated their martial arts to an unfathomable level. In order to study the most advanced mental method of "Hiding Needles in Mianli", both of them would retreat for seven or eight days from time to time.
I thought that when I came here, I would catch up with the two senior sisters who were practicing in seclusion.
Zheng Gui was standing in front of the Guanyin Hall, patting the ice and snow on his body, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind, followed by a familiar voice.
"Master Dingyi, Master Dingyi, please come in and talk."
Zheng Gui glanced sideways at the thin woman named Yu Sao in front of him, and recognized that she was the new disciple accepted by the master's sister last year. She was originally a maid serving the master, but was later accepted as a disciple because of her loyalty and ability.
In today's society, the status of women is low, and there are few educated people. Most farm girls do not have serious names. Sister Yu is a typical example. Because she is a lay disciple and does not have a Dharma name, even Dingjing, Dingyi, etc.
I call her Sister-in-law Yu.
Zheng Gui knew that Sister-in-law Yu helped handle many of the secular affairs in Baiyun Temple, and that this person was two years older than him, so he nodded very politely and said, "Okay, let's lead the way."
Yi Tong stayed outside the Guanyin Hall, while Yu's wife brought Zheng Gui into the inner hall. Because incense candles were burned all year round in the inner hall, the temperature was much warmer than outside. The ice and snow on Zheng Gui's eyebrows turned into water droplets. He looked at Babao
Dingyi, who is sitting upright in the picture, raised his hand and said: "Senior sister."
Dingyi stood up and said, "Junior brother, sit down and talk."
Sister-in-law Yu went to make tea without waiting for instructions. Zheng Gui sat down on the armchair on Dingyi's left hand, looked at Dingyi with a smile, and asked: "How many days have the master sister and the senior sister been in seclusion?"
"Today is the fifth day."
Dingyi said as he handed over a handkerchief and said: "Wipe the snow on your face. Junior brother, why do you have something to do with the head senior sister? Why did you come here despite the heavy snow?"
Zheng Gui took it and wiped his eyebrows before returning it to Dingyi, and whispered: "Four years ago, when I was being hunted by the Haisha Gang, I accidentally learned a secret. I learned that Yun Wuchao had defected to the Demon Cult.
, the three senior sisters also know about this."
Zheng Gui paused, and Dingyi suddenly remembered Zhu Weng, the elder of the Demon Cult who was better than him in martial arts. He frowned slightly and said, "Yes, it was precisely because the Haisha Gang had become evil thieves of the Demon Cult that you killed Yunwu."
Chao, destroying the Haisha Gang did not attract criticism..."
Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes and continued: "In order to kill us and others, Yun Wuchao hired Green Bamboo Man as a helper to deal with you, and also sent many disciples to chase us and kill us. You all know this, but still
There is a secret I have never told...
At that time, I learned a secret from an elder of the Haisha Gang. He also heard it from the elders of the Demon Sect. He said that sixty years ago, the ten elders of the Demon Sect attacked Huashan twice.
All the Five Mountain Sword Sects died in Huashan Mountain during the battle. Since then, the Demon Sect has ceased to expand and has become dormant.
However, our Wuyue Sword Sect has also been greatly damaged by this. I once heard that the ten elders studied hard before their death and carved the martial arts that cracked the martial arts of our Wuyue Sword Sect somewhere in Huashan. In other words, if this statement is true,
There are martial arts on Mount Huashan that can break the swordsmanship of our Hengshan School, and there are also many superior martial arts that were lost after the war..."
Dingyi's Qi nourishing skills were mediocre. Hearing this, his eyes widened in anger and he shouted: "The demon sect thieves are talking nonsense. How can they decipher the hard work of the ancestors of my Five Mountains Sword Sect? This statement must be a conspiracy!"
Zheng Gui nodded and said, "Brother, I thought this way back then, so I didn't tell you about it.
But before the winter this year, Mr. Wang of the Luoyang Longmen Escort Bureau asked our Wuyue Swordsmen to go out and eliminate the thieves entrenched in Funiu Mountain. The head senior sister agreed, and I went down the mountain to take Liang Qi, Li Wen, Xiyun and the others twenty.
Three lay disciples went to Funiu Mountain in Henan to slay demons. They killed several gangsters and underworld gangsters, but they also accidentally learned a secret from the owner of Lianhua Village.
I didn't know whether it was true or not and didn't dare to tell anyone about it at the time, but after returning to the mountain, I became more and more uneasy compared to the information I learned from the disciples of the Haisha Gang four years ago..."
Dingyi frowned and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What's the secret?"
Zheng Gui said in a deep voice: "The leader of Song Village in Lianhua Village also told this secret before his death, and it was more detailed. Not only did he tell that the ten elders had carved the martial arts moves that cracked the superior swordsmanship of our Five Mountains Sword Sect into the Huashan Grottoes
, and also said the correct part. After thinking about it for many days, I always felt that maybe it was not all lies..."
Dingyi pondered for a long time after hearing this, and said: "If the superior martial arts of our Five Mountains Sword Sect were actually broken by the top ten elders of the Demon Sect, it would definitely be a blow to our Five Mountains Sword Sect..."
Zheng Gui smiled slightly and said: "But senior sister, you have to know that the moves are dead after all. Whether the move can be really broken depends on the skill of the person using the move. I think if Huashan really hides our Hengshan Sect and the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect,
I am afraid that many of the excellent martial arts are lost swordsmanship. If we can observe one or two, wouldn’t we be able to rediscover the lost martial arts?”
After hearing this, Dingyi thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad!"
"The Huashan sect has encountered sword energy disputes in recent years, and it has become more and more unsettled. I'm afraid they don't know the secrets you have discovered, junior brother. Whether it is true or not, there is probably some basis for this statement. We will wait until the head senior sister comes out and say
Now that she knows it, let’s see how she decides!”
Dingyi showed a yearning look as he spoke, and then Sister-in-law Yu brought two cups of hot tea.
Dingyi stood up and took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, and said: "The two senior sisters will definitely leave seclusion in three days at most. It's snowing and cold, so you can stay at Baiyun Nunnery for a few days and wait for them."
Zheng Gui nodded and said: "The nunnery is full of bhikshuni and female relatives. I can just live in the side courtyard."
Dingyi didn't comment, looked directly at Sister-in-law Yu, and said: "Go and tidy up a plain room for Dingyi."
