Yue Lingshan was obviously shocked, but after thinking about it, she regained her composure.
It's no wonder that Chen Xuan still saved her from Master Dingyi when they met in Hengyang City before.
If you really think about it, Chen Xuan is just a reclusive master with strong martial arts skills, and he is not considered a big evil person.
Furthermore, in this Huashan Mountain, even if Yue Buqun is not here, why would any little thieves dare to cause trouble?
Yue Lingshan was a little strange, how could he appear here so mysteriously?
But he didn't expect that Lin Pingzhi had already tightened his grip on the small porcelain bottle and was about to go up and take action.
The small porcelain bottle should contain medicinal powder similar to Yin Yang and He San. If Yue Lingshan takes it, it will naturally help Chen Xuan achieve this good deed.
Just as Lin Pingzhi gritted his teeth, he was about to step forward.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan grabbed his arm and didn't even look at him. He just smiled at Yue Lingshan.
"I am an old friend of your father, Master Yue of "Junzijian". Please inform me on my behalf."
"That's not a coincidence. He took my mother to Songshan Mountain. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for a while."
"That's okay, I'll stay in the mountains for a few days."
Chen Xuan said it politely, and Yue Lingshan thought it was not surprising that he might actually know Yue Buqun because of his high martial arts skills, so she nodded and agreed to his request to stay for a few days.
Lin Pingzhi glanced sideways at Chen Xuan, wondering what his plan was.
However, Chen Xuan led Lin Pingzhi and invited Yue Lingshan to set up a tea and fruit plate in the yard, and they chatted in a familiar manner.
Yue Lingshan had a good impression of Lin Pingzhi, and now that he introduced her, she naturally had a good impression of Chen Xuan.
At this time, the bright moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight was bright and clear. Chen Xuan laughed casually, and Yue Lingshan giggled.
Unknowingly, the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Another half a month passed like this.
On the back mountain of Huashan Mountain, I thought about crossing the cliff.
Yue Lingshan carried a basket of rice dumplings up the cliff, went to find Linghu Chong, and said with a smile.
"Yesterday I made some rice dumplings and brought them here specially for my senior brother to try."
After that, he walked into the cave with the rice dumplings, untied the rope and peeled off the leaves.
Linghu Chong smelled a fragrance and saw Yue Lingshan hand over the peeled rice dumpling, so he took it and took a bite.
Although the zongzi has a plain filling, straw mushrooms, lotus seeds, mung beans and other ingredients are mixed in.
Although it looks good, the straw mushroom looks a bit out of place.
Perhaps seeing Linghu Chong staring at the straw mushrooms in the rice dumplings, Yue Lingshan explained.
"This straw mushroom was picked by Xiao Linzi and I the day before yesterday..."
Linghu Chong asked subconsciously, "Xiao Linzi?"
Yue Lingshan smiled and said, "That's Junior Brother Lin. I've been calling him Xiao Linzi recently. He came to me the day before yesterday and told me that there were straw mushrooms under the pine trees on the east hillside, and he went with me to pick them for a long time."
Linghu Chong looked at her smiling face, and felt a trace of sadness in his heart for some unknown reason.
"Little Junior Sister, will you stop scolding Junior Brother Lin?"
Yue Lingshan smiled.
"Why don't you scold him? He scolds him when he disobeys me. But recently he has behaved better, so I scold him less. He practices swordsmanship hard and when he makes progress, I also praise him a few words, hehe~"
Linghu Chong took a bite of the rice dumpling and asked, "Are you teaching him how to practice swordsmanship?"
Yue Lingshan nodded and said, "Well, the brothers and sisters couldn't quite understand the Hakka dialect he spoke. I've been to Fuzhou City and understand his language, so my father asked me to give him guidance in my spare time. He's not stupid at all, he can learn it.
soon."
The movements of Linghu Chong's hands slowed down.
He could tell that Yue Lingshan's attitude towards Lin Pingzhi was very different from before.
A few days ago, when she went up the mountain, she disliked Lin Pingzhi's lack of improvement in martial arts and his lack of respect for others.
Now the rhetoric has completely changed.
Linghu Chong remained silent. Suddenly, an unspeakable anger surged in his heart.
I only ate two bites of a rice dumpling, and holding half of the rice dumpling in my hand, I felt it was very unpleasant.
Yue Lingshan pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Elder brother, why don't you speak?"
Linghu Chong was startled and ate half of the rice dumpling.
The rice dumplings, which were originally very fragrant and delicious, stuck in the mouth and could not be swallowed.
Yue Lingshan pointed at him and said with a cute smile.
"You are eating in such a hurry and you are not afraid of choking?"
Linghu Chong smiled bitterly and tried his best to swallow the rice dumpling. Looking at Yue Lingshan's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Why am I so stupid? Junior sister is innocent and innocent at this age. Now I am skinny and facing the cliff thinking about my past. She wants to keep junior brother Lin as a companion. That is normal. Why do I have so many thoughts?"
Thinking of this, I immediately felt calm, and the rice dumplings seemed to have a taste.
It's just that this time Yue Lingshan didn't come the next day after sending the rice dumplings down the mountain.
Instead, junior brother Lu Dayou came to deliver the food.
Linghu Chong was so anxious with anticipation that he often asked Lu Dayou, who brought the meal, about his junior sister's current situation.
Lu Dayou always looks a little weird and speaks unnaturally.
Linghu Chong was suspicious, but he couldn't find any clues.
A little more than half a month passed like this, and he thought about it day and night, looking forward to it, and finally saw Yue Lingshan coming up the cliff again.
We haven't seen her for just half a month, but she is looking very energetic. She seems to have light makeup on the corners of her eyes and between her eyebrows, making her even more charming and graceful.
She was originally childish, but now she suddenly put on makeup and makeup, which seemed a bit artificial, but she looked surprisingly good-looking.
When Linghu Chong saw his childhood sweetheart, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
"Lingshan has never liked to dress up, so why is she now wearing makeup?"
Yue Lingshan saw the sleepy look in Linghu Chong's eyes, her face suddenly turned red, she put down the bamboo basket and said.
"Brother, do you blame me for not seeing you for so many days?"
Linghu Chong shook his head, "How could I blame you? Master must have forbidden you to come up the cliff, right?"
Yue Lingshan smiled.
"That's not true. I forgot about it for a moment."
"Forgot? How could you forget?"
"Xiao Linzi has found a new playmate, named Chen Xuan, who is a knight from the mountain. He is also very interesting and often takes me around to play."
"Chen Xuan?" Linghu Chong was shocked when he heard the name, "Which Chen Xuan?!"
Yue Lingshan didn't know that Chen Xuan had snatched little nun Yilin from Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang, so she just laughed.
"Senior brother, why are you so anxious? Chen Xuan said that he is already married and has a career at a young age. His wife is as old as me, but she is better at dressing up than me."
"..."
When Linghu Chong heard this, the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He had been thinking about Guo Ya during this period. He really had nothing to do but think about Yue Lingshan over and over again.
It sounds lonely, but every time I think of her smiling face, I feel comforted.
But during this period of time, he had watched Yue Lingshan's relationship with Lin Pingzhi change from unfamiliar and disgusting to familiar and enthusiastic.
Yue Lingshan's words seemed to be intimate with Lin Pingzhi, and they were always together, which inevitably made Linghu Chong feel sad.
Now that he is even putting on makeup and makeup for Lin Pingzhi, he is naturally depressed.
Fortunately, although his little junior sister is innocent, she learned this dress from other daughters, which makes him feel a little relieved.
But what he didn't know was that the person who taught Yue Lingshan how to dress up was none other than Qu Feiyan.
Qu Feiyan had been dealt with by Chen Xuan long ago, but now he deliberately approached Yue Lingshan under Chen Xuan's instruction.
In this Huashan sect, everyone knows that Yue Lingshan is the daughter of the leader Yue Buqun.
Therefore, the disciples in the sect may not talk openly about it, but secretly there is inevitably some distance between them and her.
From childhood to adulthood, Yue Lingshan could only stay close to Linghu Chong, who was also adopted.
It was under such circumstances that Chen Xuan suddenly appeared.
On the surface, he is just a harmless idle ranger, but secretly, he uses Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan to help him make connections.
Yue Lingshan didn't know the secret. She just felt that the few of them were enjoying themselves together.
In this way, another ten days passed.
Yue Lingshan used to come on time every day, rain or shine.
During this time, it has become increasingly infrequent.
Linghu Chong sat alone and thought about crossing the cliff. He couldn't help but recall the words and deeds of his junior sister Yue Lingshan during this period, and it was inevitable that he felt a little more hostile towards Lin Pingzhi.
At this time.
Two figures were seen far away under the cliff, walking slowly like ants.
Linghu Chong looked up eagerly and saw that it was Lu Dayou who often came to deliver meals, and his junior sister Yue Lingshan, whom he longed for.
The three of them gathered on the top of the cliff and always chatted.
Linghu Chong took the initiative to mention it.
"How is Junior Brother Lin doing lately? Has his martial arts improved?"
Yue Lingshan laughed as expected, "Elder brother, why are you still thinking about Xiao Linzi?"
"Junior Brother Lin is handsome and has a chivalrous heart. Naturally, I miss him."
Linghu Chong just said something casually, but Yue Lingshan said it positively.
"Elder brother, do you think so too? I heard my father say the same thing when he talked about Xiao Linzi. They all said that Xiao Linzi is not only chivalrous, but also brave. Xiao Linzi is on par with you."
Linghu Chong asked, "Why are you still angry? A temper?"
Yue Lingshan smiled and said, "It's arrogance. You two are very proud."
A trace of gloom flashed across Linghu Chong's face, and Lu Dayou on the side suddenly spoke.
"Elder brother is the eldest disciple of our Huashan sect, so it's normal to be arrogant. Who is that guy named Lin? How can he be so arrogant in our Huashan sect?"
Lu Dayou's words were full of hostility towards Lin Pingzhi.
Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder.
"Dayou, when did Junior Brother Lin offend you?"
Lu Dayou said angrily.
"He didn't offend me, it's just that the brothers couldn't stand his moral character."
Yue Lingshan said dissatisfied, "Sixth Senior Brother, why do you always have trouble with Xiao Linzi? I am a Junior Brother, and you are a Senior Brother, can't you be more tolerant?"
Lu Dayou snorted and murmured in a low voice: "If he just keeps to himself, then that's it, otherwise I, the first one named Lu, won't be able to tolerate him!"
Yue Lingshan had a keen ear and asked.
"Why doesn't he keep to himself?"
Lu Dayou said, "He...he...he..."
After saying "him" three times, he stopped talking.
Yue Lingshan continued to ask, "What is going on? You are so hesitant."
Lu Dayou said, "I hope I made a mistake and saw the wrong thing."
After saying that, he glanced at Yue Lingshan secretly.
Yue Lingshan seemed to have thought of something, her face turned slightly red, and she stopped asking any more questions.
Lu Dayou seemed to have lost the mood to accompany Linghu Chong and shouted to leave.
Yue Lingshan went down the cliff with him.
Linghu Chong stood on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at their backs. Thinking back to Yue Lingshan's strange reaction just now, he vaguely felt that something must be wrong with Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi.
Just when he was lost in thought, Yue Lingshan's clear singing voice floated from behind the mountain col. The last note was long and swaying leisurely in the valley. However, this song was like beads turning into water splashing, and every word was clear and round.
Linghu Chong listened to the lyrics and thought, "When did my little junior sister learn to sing this folk song? It's really nice. Next time she comes, I'll ask her to sing it again from the beginning."
I was thinking about the enlightenment and looking forward to it, but when I thought about it, my chest felt like I had been hit by a heavy hammer, and I woke up with a sudden heartache.
"This... this is a folk song from Fuzhou in southeastern China. It was taught to her by Junior Brother Lin!"
When he thought of the two of them singing folk songs together, Linghu Chong felt unspeakable pain in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and roar wildly. He picked up his long sword and slashed at the surrounding stone walls.
After slashing hundreds of swords in a row, he collapsed from exhaustion.
Hearing a "crack" sound, the long sword in his hand actually broke through the stone wall until it reached the hilt.
At a glance, it seems that he is at least more than three feet strong.
Linghu Chong was also shocked.
After all, this sword went straight into the mountain rocks, and how powerful was the force from the sword hilt?
I'm afraid his master Yue Buqun doesn't have such powerful martial arts.
Confused in his heart, he tentatively stretched out his hand and knocked on the mountain wall, then pulled the long sword outward. His hand immediately felt that the stone wall was actually only a thin layer, about four or five inches thick.
There is no hollow sound when struck.
But there should indeed be a darkroom inside.
"It's strange, I, the Huashan sect's Siguo Cliff Top, how come there is such a dark room?"
Linghu Chong spent some time to break a hole in the stone wall, then lit a torch and went in, only to see a narrow passage inside.
Walking forward into this hidden cave, I saw two skeletons on the ground that were already covered with dust. One was sitting against the wall, and the other was curled up in a ball.
Linghu Chong thought to himself, "This is the fundamental center of our Huashan sect. Could it be that these skeletons are our seniors of the Huashan sect who broke the rules and were trapped and died here?"
Walking further along the corridor, a huge stone cave appeared in front of us, almost as big as the main hall of the Huashan Sect.
There are seven more skeletons in the cave, either sitting or lying, with weapons beside them, but most of them are strange weapons, such as iron tokens, judge pens, clubs, spears and halberds.
The Huashan School values the words and deeds of a gentleman, so weapons are naturally the weapons of a gentleman, and they only practice the art of swordsmanship.
Linghu Chong thought about it, these people who used these strange weapons were probably not disciples of the Huashan Sect.
He continued to walk forward, and there were dozens or hundreds of long swords on the ground. The style should be the commonly used sword shape of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Linghu Chong felt strange and said.
"Why are there all weapons from the Five Mountains Sword Sect here?"
Now I raised my torch and looked around the cave walls. I saw sixteen large characters carved on the stone wall a few feet above the ground on the left.
[The Five Mountains Sword Sect is despicable and shameless! Invincible in combat, plotting to harm others! 】
