Chapter 70 Several years have passed, heading to Hengyang
After returning to Tongyuan Valley, Zheng Gui had a long secret conversation with Master Bujie and then practiced in seclusion in the abbot's room.
Master Bujie silently took note of the Hengshan Sword Technique and other superb martial arts taught by the abbot, and while supervising the disciples in the temple to practice, he silently started practicing the Hengshan Kungfu.
Several years passed by in a hurry. On this day, Zheng Gui, who was in retreat, suddenly heard the shouts of the monk who was not quitting outside the door.
"Senior Brother Abbot, Senior Sister Head, please come over."
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Zheng Gui, who was already in his thirties, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes and forehead, pushed out the door. His eyes were like lightning, and he walked silently, revealing his profound internal skills.
"We haven't seen each other for half a year. Brother Abbot's cultivation has become more and more advanced. The young monk admires him!"
Monk Bujie's face was full of admiration, and he estimated in his mind that he was not as good as Zen Master Ding in terms of internal strength.
Zheng Gui has been in seclusion for more than four years, relying on the state of mind to stop water to get twice the result with half the effort in practicing internal energy. Last month, he had mastered all the acupuncture points except Ren and Du's two meridians.
Today, the true energy in his body is flowing like a river, thick and long. Although he has not compared it, he feels that his internal strength has surpassed ordinary first-class masters, and is comparable to the head senior sister Dingxian Shitai.
Monk Fujie's martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the top masters. In recent years, he has practiced Hengshan martial arts and improved his martial arts a lot. Since he can see that his internal strength seems to be better than his, Zheng Gui thought
It's almost 70% likely.
With a slight smile, Zheng Gui calmed down his breath and the light in his eyes became restrained. He asked: "Did the head senior sister say something happened?"
Monk Bujie touched his bald head and said: "It is said that Mr. Liu Sanye of the Hengshan Sect invited our Hengshan to Hengyang. He is going to hold a golden basin hand washing conference on July 15th this year and wants to withdraw from the martial arts..."
Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Things are still going to happen..."
Zheng Gui knew that although his appearance allowed the Huashan and Hengshan sects to obtain the lost swordsmanship of Siguoya Stone Carvings and the breaking methods of each sect's swordsmanship, after all, the Hengshan sect did not do anything extraordinary.
Under the leadership of the leader, they also stayed on their own, so they did not have much impact on the Jianghu structure and changes in the current situation.
This also means how the plot of Swordsman will develop and how it will develop.
So before last year, Linghu Chong, the top disciple of the Huashan Sect, defeated the four top disciples of the Qingcheng Sect in Shaanxi, and also wiped out two underworld camps, making him a small star in the Central Plains martial arts world.
When Zheng Gui heard the news at that time, he knew that the Golden Pen Washing Ceremony would also start in half a year. At that time, the Songshan Sect would show its claws and ambitions against the remaining four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect for the first time.
Precisely because he knew that time was running out and that he and the Hengshan Sect were about to face their first major turmoil, Zheng Gui practiced even harder.
He hurried to Wuse Nunnery and saw Master Dingxian, Master Dingjing, and Master Dingyi. Zheng Gui put his hands together and saluted, and said: "Senior Sister, it's rare to see them in recent years. It's really hard for you to travel everywhere."
Already."
Master Dingjing’s face was filled with dust, and she looked older than she had been many years ago. She waved her hands gently and said, “I have discovered many good talents for our Hengshan sect over the years, and I couldn’t be happier.
Junior brother, you have become more and more famous in the martial arts world in the past few years. The Golden Blade Sect, Bagua Sword and other sects all respect your disciples. It is all thanks to your invincible magical skills in the Dragon Gate Conference..."
"Senior sister, I'm making fun of you. My martial arts to your junior brother and I were all taught by three senior sisters. You know very well how much I have. It was purely a coincidence and a fluke that I became famous in the Dragon Gate Conference..."
Zen Master Dingding defeated Wang Yuanba and Mo Xing with one against two. Although it was a sensation, it was not enough to make him a famous figure in the martial arts world. At the Longmen Conference that year, he had a duel with Master Fang Sheng of Shaolin Temple.
The palm has the upper hand, which is the main reason why Zen Master Ding Ding has become a sensation in recent years and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
Zheng Gui informed Master Dingxian of all the various reasons after returning to the mountain. Sanding naturally knew it well, smiled slightly, and said no more.
After Zheng Gui sat down, he asked: "Liu Zhengfeng wants to wash his hands in a golden basin? What does he mean?"
Master Dingjing said: "He sent a disciple to send a letter, saying that on the fifteenth day of July this year, he will wash his hands in a golden basin and withdraw from the world, so he invites the leaders and seniors of the Wuyue Sword Sect, who are all in the same spirit, to go to Hengyang to watch the ceremony.
."
Master Dingxian frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Liu Sanye is a very important figure in the Hengshan Sect. He is in charge of many affairs of the Hengshan Sect. According to legend, Mr. Mo Da's martial arts may not be stronger than him. How could such a figure suddenly want to do this?"
Wash your hands in the golden basin and retire to the world?"
Master Dingyi answered: "It's really strange. Could it be that Mr. Mo Da was jealous of his junior brother, excluded him, suppressed him, and forced him to retreat in order to advance?"
Master Dingjing and Master Dingxian both had contact with Liu Zhengfeng. After thinking about it, they both shook their heads. Master Dingxian said: "Liu Zhengfeng is not an easy person to manipulate. He has always been at odds with Mo Da. If Mo Da had such intention, how could he do it?"
Delayed until now?"
Master Dingjing said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid he has some hidden agenda. He invited senior masters from our Wuyue Sword Sect and other martial arts to watch the ceremony. Maybe he also wanted to ask everyone to uphold justice. We'll find out when the time comes.
"
Master Dingxian nodded and said: "In recent years, there have been few major events in our Wuyue Sword Sect, and there are not many contacts between the various sects. Mr. Liu is a well-known master of our orthodox sect and has friendship with us. He wants money."
Wash your hands, even if we knew about it from elsewhere, we would go to watch the ceremony and try our best to dissuade him, not to mention that he invited us.
I think you two, Junior Sister Dingyi and Junior Brother Dingding, will take the disciples from Baiyun Temple and Baozhu Temple to watch the ceremony. This also shows that our Hengshan Sect values our friends. If anything bad happens, you can also come forward to persuade them.
, I’m not present, so I won’t let people make irresponsible remarks, and there won’t be no room for maneuver, how about that?”
Master Dingyi naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and Zheng Gui also wanted to go and have a look, so that he could see the methods of the Songshan Sect, which would be easier for him to deal with in the future, so he nodded and said: "Senior Sister, the Head Master, has a destiny, how can I not refuse, Junior Brother?"
"But Senior Sister, after what happened at the last Dragon Gate Conference, we know that the Songshan Sect's strength and ambition have grown together. In recent years, it has become a little uncontrollable. I saw that during Mr. Liu's Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference, the Songshan Sect
There will definitely be trouble, and Senior Sister Dingyi and I must recruit more capable disciples. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation, and you must allow me the right to act arbitrarily!"
Master Dingxian looked at the young junior brother with a calm expression, pondered for a moment, and said: "I always trust you when you do things. Our Hengshan Sect has been saving up for nearly ten years. It's time for the Songshan Sect to see what's going on. You can just go ahead and do it."
, I am responsible for everything.”
Zheng Gui smiled and stood up, bowed deeply, and said: "Thank you, senior sister, for this trip to Hengyang, I will definitely be able to find out the reality of the Songshan Sect."
After returning to Baozhu Temple from Wuse'an, Zheng Gui summoned Master Bujie, Yiguang and other disciples. He first made it clear that he was going to Hengyang to attend the Golden Pen Washing Ceremony in three months, and then said: "Yiguang
You bring all the junior brothers with the best martial arts skills in the temple, and in the past two months, you have led them to practice swordsmanship and martial arts and hone their sword formations. Hengyang and his party will inevitably have to fight against powerful enemies for a while!"
Yiguang and Bujie were both excited when they talked about fighting. Monk Bujie rubbed his hands and said, "Who are you fighting with?"
Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes and said: "Songshan Sect."
Monk Bujie didn't care at all that the Songshan Sect was the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. He just clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I have long heard that the Thirteen Taibao of Lao Shizi from the Songshan Sect are unparalleled in martial arts. I, the great monk, have to weigh them."
!”
After learning that the abbot, supervisor of the temple, and senior brother would go down the mountain to Hengyang in two months, all the disciples in Baozhu Temple began to practice harder and harder.
Zheng Gui knew that Yilin, as Dingyi's most proud disciple and one of the successors of the Yi generation secretly recognized by Master Dingxian, would definitely accompany him to Hengyang for this conference, so he took advantage of the night to go to the Xuankong Temple in Cuiping Mountain.
After revealing the identity of the mute woman, Zheng Gui expressed his willingness to create an opportunity for her and Yilin to recognize each other as mother and daughter. Although the mute woman was excited, she finally shook her head and refused. At the same time, she begged Zheng Gui to keep the secret, especially not to tell the monk Fujie.
.
Zheng Gui naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and when he left, looking at the mute grandma's thoughtful look, Zheng Gui knew that with Hengyang's group, the mute grandma would probably follow them quietly.
Zheng Gui returned to the abbot's room and silently calculated the strength of the Hengshan sect and the Songshan sect. At the Jinpen Washing Ceremony in Hengyang, the Hengshan sect would have four first-rate masters, Master Dingyi, Zen Master Dingding, Master Bujie, and Yiguang, and the rest of the monks and nuns.
There will also be forty or fifty disciples, because they are all disciples with the highest martial arts skills, and the sword formation can be comparable to seven or eight first-class masters.
If the mute Granny is added to the mix, the Hengshan Sect will have the combat power of at least twelve first-class masters. By then, as long as the Songshan Sect does not come with Zuo Lengchan himself and the thirteen Taibao, the Hengshan Sect will have the power to overturn the table.
.
Zheng Gui calmed down and thought secretly: We just need to wait for the Songshan sect to launch an attack, and then rescue Liu Zhengfeng, and we will be able to win over the Hengshan sect. By then, with the support of the Huashan and Hengshan sects, we will be able to compete with Zuo Lengchan.
.
Zheng Gui unanimously believed that the best defense is to attack. He knew that as long as the Songshan sect launched an attack at the Jinpen Washing Ceremony in Hengyang, it would be a signal for the Songshan sect to initiate a defeat for the other four sects. At that time, instead of passively waiting for the Songshan sect,
It is better to directly recruit other factions to fight against the Songshan faction and directly confront the Hengshan faction. Then the Hengshan faction will have some chance of winning.
After Zheng Gui made his plan, he continued to practice his Qi in seclusion. As midsummer approached, the weather became hotter and hotter, and various news from the martial arts world gradually reached Baozhu Temple.
Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng Sect, brought a large number of disciples into Fuzhou and wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency on the grounds that his son was killed by Lin Zhennan's only son.
In the past ten years, there has never been a genocide in the world. In addition, the sect that was wiped out was the descendant of Lin Yuantu, who was very powerful in the world at that time. Therefore, as soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in the world, and all kinds of speculations were discussed.
One after another.
It was already June, and the Hengyang Conference was approaching. After Master Dingxian sent someone to inquire about the travel time, Zheng Gui selected twenty-five disciples on the second day, and first went to Wise Temple to say goodbye to the master.
Senior sister then made an appointment with Master Dingxian to meet up in Hengyang, and then went down the mountain with monk Bujie, Yi Guang and others taking the disciples.
Although monks and nuns are both monks, there are differences between men and women. Traveling together will inevitably require expensive accommodation. Traveling too close to each other will not only be troublesome and inconvenient, but will also inevitably attract criticism. Therefore, Zheng Gui and his party will naturally have to stagger their itinerary with Master Dingyi and his party.
.
After coming down from the mountain, Zheng Gui took his disciples to Tongguan first and stayed at the Weiwei Escort Bureau for a few days. Then he took Ning Zhengduan with him to the south. In a few days, he passed through Huayin and Shangluo and arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
Logically speaking, Zheng Gui represented the Hengshan sect, and when they arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain, the Wudang sect should also show off. However, from the time they entered the territory of the Wudang sect to the time they left the Junzhou border, Zheng Gui and his party did not see a single Taoist priest show up.
Master Yiguang and Bujie were still aggrieved by the Wudang Sect's disrespect. Zheng Gui, who was familiar with the subsequent plot, knew that neither the Wudang Sect nor the Shaolin Temple would express any reaction to Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, even though they were aware of the Songshan Sect.
trends.
In order to completely withdraw from the matter and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, the Wudang Clan would never dare to make any statement at this juncture.
Zheng Gui secretly cursed the old Taoist for being slippery. He was about to tell his disciples to hurry up and walk to the Han River to take a boat before dark. Suddenly he heard a clear whistle. When he looked up, he saw two old Taoists in their fifties walking quickly.
Come on, it was Taoist Priest Qingxu and Taoist Chenggao who had met each other once.
Zheng Gui's heart warmed up and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. After everyone greeted them, Taoist Master Qingxu gently cupped his hands and said: "I learned that the eminent monk of the Hengshan Sect was passing by. I hurriedly and slowly caught up with Zen Master Dingding. Before Pindao
I haven't been here for a long time, but I just learned something a few days ago. Although the head brother has repeatedly ordered us not to interfere in the internal affairs of your Five Mountains Sword Sect, I still can't help but think of our friendship..."
Zheng Gui bowed slightly and said, "If you have anything to ask me, Brother Qingxu, it's okay to tell me."
"Please take a step to speak."
Taoist Master Qingxu coughed lightly, and after Zheng Gui followed him to the side, the old Taoist whispered: "I heard from the head brother that Mr. Zuo Lengchanzuo has mobilized a large number of disciples to Fujian, Hunan, and Zhejiang in recent months.
In other places, four of the Thirteen Taibao also rushed to Hengyang the day before yesterday. For such a large battle, I am afraid that the plan is not small. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should inform you in advance so that you can be prepared.
"
Zheng Gui understood that after experiencing the Dragon Gate Conference, the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect already knew that the Hengshan Sect was aware of the Songshan Sect's raging ambitions, so Old Taoist Chongxu asked Qingxu to warn him, either explicitly or covertly.
Although Zheng Gui knew that the Wudang Sect might not all have good intentions, and that they might be looking at the internal strife in the Wuyue Sword Sect, but he was told in advance that it was indeed full of goodwill, and he had to express it.
After Zheng Gui expressed his thanks, he parted ways with Taoist Master Qingxu and sat on the boat along the Han River to the southeast. Zheng Gui was silently thinking about the information Qingxu had revealed to him.
The Hengshan Sect has many nunneries and lay disciples as its eyes and ears, and is well aware of many information in the world, but it is the only one that cannot master any valuable information about the Songshan Sect. This shows that Zuo Lengchan is rigorous and conscientious in his work, and also
It shows that he is also consciously wary of the surveillance of Shaolin and Wudang sects.
However, through the words of Taoist Master Qingxu, it can be confirmed that even if Zuo Lengchan pays repeated attention, the movements of the Songshan Sect are still firmly controlled by Shaolin and Wudang. This is no wonder why Fang Zheng and Chongxu have been helping Linghu Chong and Ren Wo.
The reason for doing this is to constantly cause trouble for Zuo Lengchan. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
