A group of monks from Daguangming Temple surrounded the Guangming Hall. Several old monks led a group of warrior monks into the hall, searching for traces of Muye King.
Qi Ning did not get involved. Although King Muye and Beigong Liancheng obviously had a deep connection, today was the grudge between Daguangming Temple and King Muye, and Qi Ning did not want to get involved.
He suddenly thought of something and looked towards the square, wanting to see the situation of Kong Zang, but there was no trace of Kong Zang in the square. Not only Kong Zang was missing, but also several old monks such as Jing Kong and others were missing. , Qi Ning was puzzled, thinking that the situation was in chaos at this time, and Kong Zang should be in charge of the overall situation, but how come he disappeared at this time.
He was confused and suddenly heard a voice coming from beside him: "Master Hou!"
Qining turned around and saw an old monk. This old monk was also one of the Thirteen Monks of Light. He just didn't know what the Dharma call was, so he raised his hands and said: "Master!"
The old monk looked at Qining with kind eyes, and then said: "Follow the old monk down the mountain." But he didn't say a word and walked away. Qining frowned slightly, but still followed him and asked, "I don't know, master What is the dharma name?"
The old monk didn't look back and said: "Old monk is pure!"
"Master Jingchun?" Qi Ning's body was shaken and he lost his voice: "You... are you Master Jingchun?" He thought that this old monk was the fourth old man of the Jinyi Qi family.
At that time, Jinyi Old Marquis was seriously injured and was dying. Daguangming Temple came to the rescue and saved Jinyi Old Marquis' life. However, according to the rules of Jinyi Temple, unless someone replaced Jinyi Old Marquis and became a monk and practiced in Daguangming Temple, Jinyi Old Marquis would The Marquis decided to become a monk himself.
The old marquis in Jinyi is the pillar of the country. If he becomes a monk, the empire will lose a pillar. The fourth old man of the Qi family took the initiative to replace the old marquis as a monk. From then on, he has been practicing in Daguangming Temple.
Qi Ning has known this person for a long time, but today this is the first time he sees this pure master.
Master Jingchun did not look back, and led Qining out of the square and onto a suspended suspension bridge. After crossing the bridge, there was a bluestone path sandwiched between mountains. Qining then stepped forward and said: "Four...four." grandfather… !"
Master Jingchun suddenly stopped, hesitated, and finally turned around, looked at Qining, and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, Lord Marquis, the old monk has become a monk and practiced cultivation. He no longer has the ties of the mortal world...!"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Fourth Grandpa, if you really have no ties, why did you let the little monk Zhenming teach me the "Qing Jing" that day?"
A smile appeared on Master Jingchun's lips, and he said with a smile: "Then have you ever meditated and practiced every day? The old monk sees that you don't have much cultivation in the "Qing Jing"."
Qi Ning sighed: "Fourth Grandpa, it's hard to say what I can say. Changes have happened here one after another. I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to practice the Qing Jing in the future."
There is weird ice energy in his body. According to Xiang Baiying, it is best for him to cultivate to the Yin energy, so as to improve his skills. If he cultivates pure Yang energy, not only will he not be able to improve his skills, but he will weaken his internal strength. , with Xiang Baiying's cultivation level, it is naturally impossible to make nonsense. This line of internal energy of Daguangming Temple belongs to the pure Yang Qi, which is exactly what Qining is not easy to cultivate.
However, Master Jingchun did not ask why. He nodded slightly and said, "Everyone has his or her own opportunity. You can decide for yourself." He turned around and continued to lead Qining down the mountain.
Qi Ning walked quickly to Jingchun's side and asked: "Fourth Grandpa, who is King Muye? This man is so powerful in martial arts, why haven't I heard of him?"
Master Jingchun said: "After we come down from the mountain, there is no need to mention this matter to anyone." He also said: "This person has been injured. Even if he escapes today, he will not be harmed in a short period of time, but before his injury recovers, he will definitely be injured." We must capture him, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Jinyi Hou Mansion."
"He was injured?" Qi Ningqi said, "I didn't see it. He... when was he injured?"
"If he was not injured, how could he escape so easily?" Master Jingchun said: "Abbott Brother's Wanfa Chaozong is the extremely powerful Kung Fu of Daguangming Temple. It is the Kungfu in the "Guangming Sutra", the treasure of Daguangming Temple. Although King Mu Ye is powerful, he is still slightly inferior to Senior Brother Abbot."
"Fourth Grandpa, are you saying that Master Kongzang has already injured King Muye in the fight between the two?" Qining said in surprise.
Jingchun nodded slightly: "If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have been lying on the ground long ago. This Muye King is really amazing. In the past eighteen years, his martial arts has not only not stopped, but it has become much better than before."
Qi Ning frowned and said: "In this way, both sides suffer today, and Master Kongzang seems to have been injured as well."
"Did you see that senior abbot was injured?" Jingchun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qining.
Qi Ning saw his strange expression and asked, "Didn't Fourth Grandpa see it? Master Kongzang suddenly stopped taking action and allowed King Muye to escape. If Master Kongzang was not injured, how could he watch helplessly? King Muye escaped from him? I saw that Master Jingkong didn't care about King Muye at that time, but protected Master Kongzang. This... there is always something fishy about this."
Jingchun was thoughtful, but after a while, she continued to walk along the bluestone path. After walking for a while, she turned onto a tree-lined road. It was almost dusk, and there was a small stream beside the road. The stream was gurgling, and Jingchun finally said: "After we come down from the mountain, we must not reveal anything about what we see on the mountain."
Qi Ning heard Jingchun's serious voice and hurriedly said: "Fourth Grandpa, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Jingchun nodded slightly, walked a few steps, and suddenly said: "Back then, King Muye killed eight famous masters in the world with cruel methods. Among these eight masters, two of them came from Daguangming Temple...!"
"From Daguangming Temple?"
Jingchun explained: "There are monks and lay disciples in Daguangming Temple. Some people donate incense to Daguangming Temple and want to join the disciples of Daguangming Temple, but do not want to become a monk, so they donate a large amount of incense and silver and claim to be disciples of Daguangming Temple. , in fact, he just wants to be protected by Daguangming Temple."
Qi Ning couldn't help but said: "I understand that some people in the world can't find a backer, so they spend money to buy a backer and pay protection fees to Daguangming Temple for protection...!"
Jingchun rolled his eyes and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about, protection money, do you think Daguangming Temple is a gangster?"
Qi Ning thought that this was not true, but he still smiled and said: "It's just an analogy, Fourth Grandpa, don't be angry."
"Two of the eight people were killed. The disciples found Daguangming Temple and asked Daguangming Temple for justice." Jingchun said: "Originally, these matters were managed by the Shenhou Mansion, but after all, the matter involved lay disciples of Daguangming Temple. Senior Brother Kongzang still sent someone to investigate the matter." After thinking about it, he said: "At that time, it seemed that Senior Brother Jingkong was sent to lead the investigation, but not long after, Senior Brother Jingkong came back injured...!"
"Did King Muye hurt him?" Qining asked.
Jingchun nodded and said: "At that time, we only knew that there was a martial arts master who came out of the Jianghu and killed eight people in a row. It was not clear where he came from. Senior Brother Jingkong's martial arts back then was already very good, and he led Even though there were several masters in the temple by our side, we were still injured by each other, which also surprised us. It was at that time that we learned about King Muye from the mouth of Senior Brother Jingkong."
"That is to say, with the knowledge of Daguangming Temple, I have never heard of a person named Muye King in the Jianghu before?" Qining was even more surprised.
Jingchun said: "Anyway, I haven't heard of it. But we soon found out that King Muye came from Southern Xinjiang. This Southern Xinjiang is located in a remote and wild land. Although the imperial court has a government office in Southern Xinjiang, But there are very few annexations, and going to southern Xinjiang to serve as an official is undoubtedly a matter of distribution. To this day, the imperial court may not really control southern Xinjiang."
"King Muye is from southern Xinjiang, why did he go to the Central Plains to kill people?" Qining frowned and said, "Does he want to make a name for himself in the Central Plains?"
"Actually, with his martial arts, there is no need to do this at all." Jingchun sighed: "The world is so big, there are many strange people and scholars, and many hermits and masters have extraordinary martial arts, but they are unknown in the world. This is also common. thing." After a pause, he said: "However, after some investigation at that time, we quickly found out a clue. The eight masters killed by Muye King were more or less related to your second grandfather."
"Sword God?"
Jingchun shook his head and said: "Eighteen years ago, there were no five great masters. Although your second grandfather had extraordinary swordsmanship, no one called him the sword god. It seems that the five great masters were fifteen years ago... Well, that is, Mu After the Wild King was imprisoned in Daguangming Temple, it took two or three years for him to be spread among a few people, and even the title of Sword God was only given ten years ago."
Qi Ning asked: "Fourth Grandpa, you said that the eight masters killed by King Mu Ye were all related to the Sword God. Then... did King Mu Ye come for the Sword God?"
"These eight masters may have some friendship with Bei Gong themselves, or their ancestors have some connections with Bei Gong." Jingchun said slowly: "Bei Gong is a commoner, and he has always been neglectful of discipline since he was a child. At a young age, he wandered around, made friends, and liked to hang out with people from all walks of life. For this reason, he was almost expelled from his home."
"No wonder his swordsmanship is so powerful." Qi Ning said: "It turns out that he has been dealing with people in the world for a long time."
Jingchun shook his head and said: "Although he has always been fond of swordsmanship, as far as I know, when he was thirty years old, his martial arts was mediocre. Although he also knew some swordsmanship, there was nothing outstanding about it. , can even be said to be extremely mediocre. Looking at the world, swordsmen like him are like carps crossing the river...!"
The Beigong Liancheng whom Qi Ning had heard before had always been associated with swordsmanship, and now he was a world-famous swordsman. He had always thought that since Beigong Liancheng had such attainments, he must have extraordinary skills in swordsmanship. He was a little surprised when he heard Jingchun say this: "Fourth Grandpa, you mean...you mean that when he was thirty years old, his swordsmanship was mediocre?"
Jingchun nodded slightly and said: "Although he is a concubine, he is a member of the Qi family after all. Many people also know that the Qi family has a young master who is obsessed with swordsmanship. Several swordsman masters have seen Beigong's swordsmanship, but they have not seen it in person. No matter what, they say in private that Beigong does not have any extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, and even has a dull talent. I am afraid that he will not achieve anything in the way of swordsmanship in this life."
Although the later facts slapped those people in the face, Qining also knew that at the age of thirty, swordsmanship was still ordinary and he did not show any extraordinary talent. So it was really difficult to achieve a breakthrough in swordsmanship. It was an extremely difficult thing, and I was confused. I thought to myself, how could Beigong Liancheng go from being an ordinary swordsman to becoming the number one swordsman at that time
