Ye Qingxuan was quite proud of the fact that they not only tricked the "flying swordsman" Yan Pianfei out of the mountain, but also gave Yan Jueling the opportunity to learn some sword skills.
All the way out of the mountain, every time Yan Pianfei had free time, he would lead Yan Jueling to a place where there was no one, and teach him how to use swords.
To be honest, Yan Pianfei admired this nephew's savvy in his heart, but Yan Pianfei, who never liked to say good things, had a stubborn personality and didn't receive a word of praise.
On the contrary, Yan Jueling made Ye Qingxuan and Xu Xiyu take a high look. A person who is so proud on weekdays, when he meets someone who can learn advanced swordsmanship, his eyes shine. Even if Yan Pianfei scolded him bloody, he didn't show any anger at all. Even in the middle of the night, he was alone, with a sword, and practiced hard in a remote place.
On the way out of the mountain, within two days, Yan Jueling had already mastered the last three moves of [Dan Yuan Sunset Sword Art].
But on the other hand, Yan Pianfei also told a secret of the Shushan Sword League, which made everyone sigh.
"In fact, the Shushan Sword League was not a division of the six peaks, but a unified sword sect. Back then, Baimei Zhenren, the founder of the established sect, became famous for his unpredictable purple-level middle-grade [Five Qi Chaoyuan Swordsmanship] and [San Hua Ju Ding Shen Gong] In the Jianghu, this set of swordsmanship and internal skills are combined with each other, both internal and external, and the combination of internal and external skills can almost reach the power of gold-level skills. Once successful, there will be at least one of the top ten masters of the sky. .
It's a pity that these two sets of swordsmanship and internal strength are too difficult to cooperate with each other. If the disciples of later generations have a little less understanding, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to become masters in their lifetime. Therefore, Master Baimei divided this set of swordsmanship and internal strength into five sets of swordsmanship and three sets of swordsmanship. Although the power of internal strength is not as good as before, it can make ordinary disciples grow into masters of a generation.
The Patriarch originally thought that these exercises would stay in Shushan, and if there would be someone with extraordinary understanding among the disciples in the future, he would be able to combine these sets of exercises into one and become a generation of masters, but he never thought of it, because the exercises However, it eventually caused a split among the disciples of each peak.
When Shushan was handed down from the eighteenth generation, the peaks competed with each other, each thinking that their own sect's swordsmanship and internal strength were the best, and finally a tragedy happened... "
Everyone sighed when they heard it, Ye Qingxuan secretly sighed, so this person's heart is the same from ancient to modern, isn't this a different world version of the two sects of Huashan Sword Qi fighting each other
"In that big fight, more than half of the famous masters from various peaks were killed and injured, and the vitality of Shushan was severely injured. At the same time, many swordsmanship and internal skills were lost... The remaining disciples learned from the pain and rearranged the remaining swordsmanship and internal skills, and each developed them for more than a hundred years. , Fang formed the current Liufeng swordsmanship and a set of internal strength... "
For this secret, Yan Jueling knew a little bit, but he didn't expect the reason to be so. At the same time, there was a gleam in his eyes, and he questioned: "In this case, then my set of six-peak swordsmanship in Shushan can be completely combined. Two for one?"
"That's true." Yan Pianfei didn't hide anything, and explained: "The original [Five Qi Chaoyuan Swordsmanship] has 25 styles, and now there are only 15 remaining swordsmanship. Except for Qixia Mountain, every peak Each has the most powerful three-stroke swordsmanship..."
Yan Jueling was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "You mean, those three tricks..."
"That's right, the last three moves of the [Danyuan Sunset Swordplay] that I passed on to you are the essence moves of the [Five Qi Chaoyuan Swordplay]..." Yan Pianfei looked at Yan Jueling and said lightly: "This whole set [Dan Yuan Sunset Sword Art] is actually the result of dismantling and simplifying these three moves. You kid thinks you have completely mastered the Six Peaks Sword Art, but in fact you only learned a little bit. Get up, I didn't pass it on to you!"
"What? There are three moves missing without any swordsmanship!?" Xu Xiyu questioned, while Yan Jueling was a little dumbfounded.
"Needless to say, the only remaining set of inner strength mentality is in Qixia Mountain?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
Yan Pianfei nodded yes, and then said: "I was also selected by Liufeng back then to be able to combine Liufeng swordsmanship and this set of internal skills into one. The incomplete [Three Flowers Gathering the Top Magic Art], Yan has studied it painstakingly for decades, and only now has he achieved the reputation that is on the top list today... It is a pity that this set of sword skills and internal skills cannot be completely restored to their original appearance. It will be difficult in the end. Become a master..."
Yan Jueling's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and he hurriedly asked: "So, Uncle has gathered all the essence of Shushan's martial arts in one body?"
Yan Pianfei sneered, and said: "That's right. Don't worry, kid. As long as you show some promise, I will teach you all the sword skills and internal strength. But you have to know that the lack of this sword skill can still be used in the internal organs. The energy of the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" is gathered in the center, but the inner strength lacks the most yin exercises, and only the most yang heart formulas are left. Without the mutual assistance of yin and yang, it is still impossible to complete the three-flower transformation of "heaven, earth, and man". It is difficult to fully exert the power of [Five Qi Chaoyuan Sword Art]!
Hey, the old man has worked hard for decades, but he only improved a set of Qing-level top-grade Yin skills, replacing the original Zhiyin Heart Art, and finally practiced the inner skills to the "Earth Flower" realm of refining Qi and transforming gods That's all. "
Yan Jueling was stunned and said: "That means, uncle, you haven't practiced [Five Qi Chaoyuan Sword Art] well either."
The old man did not deny it.
Yan Jueling let out a long sigh: "Is there no other way to remedy it?"
"No." The old man pondered.
"Uncle, tell me that no matter how hard it is, I will also master [Five Qi Chaoyuan Sword Art]."
"The only way is to learn the Yin internal strength first."
"Oh?" Yan Jueling was a little confused.
Yan Pianfei went on to explain: "The yin exercises I chose are too common. If you can find a yin internal energy that is above the top grade, all problems can be easily solved. But, alas..."
"But what?" Everyone asked.
"After I studied for a long time, I finally confirmed that in the world, there is only the [Zhiyinyue Demon Heart Sutra] of the Momen Yuezong or Luo Podi's [Reverse Yin-Yang Overlord Demon Art] in the world. ] can only be done with the cathode internal energy. However, these two exercises are the top internal energy of the Demon Sect, and it is extremely difficult to obtain, and practicing magic is tantamount to becoming a public enemy of the martial arts. How can I be a decent person?"
Yan Pianfei sighed sadly, and said: "Actually, the biggest reason for the conflict between me and Xiao Xun is this..." He glanced at Yan Jueling, and said lightly: "You kid should know that your father is the kind The purpose, a person who can use whatever means..."
Yan Jueling remained silent.
Actually, why isn't he
Yan Jueling remained silent, but Ye Qingxuan became interested and asked: "Then besides the inner strength method of the Demon Sect, is there no other inner strength method that can replace it?"
"No, the black and white double demons in Huijiang also practice the most yin and soft inner strength. It is said that they are also passed down from the Xuanyin Palace, and the Han Lingzi of the Central Plains is also known for their feminine inner strength. These are all evil people and should not be provoked. , otherwise it will only go bad, or find another way to see how to find the lost mentality of Shushan."
Yan Pianfei sighed, and said: "There may be some people in the previous generations of Shushan who learned the essence of internal strength or swordsmanship, and it may have been passed down by luck. When this matter with you is over, I will go and find out. Let’s talk about finding the most core cultivation method of Shushan…”
"What do seniors plan to do?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
"Why don't you go to dig a grave..." Xu Xiyu muttered, and everyone was immediately stunned.
Yan Pianfei's expression darkened, and he said calmly: "After thinking about it, this old man can only do so much. I think all the sages in Shushan can understand the painstaking efforts of this old man."
Yan Jueling remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yan Pianfei went on to say: "I have hidden a list, which contains the names and buried places of the previous generations of Shushan sages, and I will give you a copy later. You can go around and see if you can find it. The mental method lost in this sect."
Yan Jueling didn't respond.
The old man finally realized that he stopped and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"No, nothing..."
Yan Pianfei sighed and continued to chatter, while Ye Qingxuan looked at Yan Juling's dazed look, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, hoping that this kid wouldn't mess around.
…
One day later, they joined Jiang Shuihan and others, and Ye Qingxuan and his party returned to the small town controlled by the Evil Wuji Valley.
Using the inside line of Tsing Yi Building, he easily entered the city and became a few guys in charge of guarding the darts in a shop.
Several people hid in a secret room.
Yan Pianfei thinks it's boring here, so he stays alone in the room, and doesn't participate in the junior's plan. His mission is to save people in times of crisis.
"What to do next?" Xu Xiyu asked.
"Has there been any changes in the city in the past few days?" Ye Qingxuan asked without answering.
Called the secret agent of Tsing Yi Building here, the fat boss of the shop here replied seriously: "Returning to Ye Shaoxia, it seems that the city has become much calmer than the previous few days, but in fact the wind is more serious. I once found that the number of Evil Wuji Valley disciples in the streets and alleys is much less, but there are many more terrifying masters behind the scenes."
Everyone nodded together. When they entered the city, they did have the feeling of being spied on several times.
"In this way, the Wuji Valley has confirmed the approximate location of the target, saying that the net will be closed soon..." Jiang Shuihan said lightly.
"Then what should we do? We haven't found out where the masters of the Valley of Evil are gathering!" Xu Xiyu said anxiously.
"Why don't we go out to investigate at night!?" asked Yan.
"No!" Zong Xuan said to stop him, "The outside is too dangerous. If we go out, we may be discovered by a good ambush master. If we don't save people, they will scare the snake and trap us."
Everyone was silent.
Jiang Shuihan glanced at the fat shopkeeper and asked, "Recently, has anything unusual happened here?"
The fat shopkeeper pondered: "An unusual thing... I haven't found much..."
Jiang Shuihan sighed, and said, "Is there any special event, such as a large number of people leaving the city..."
Gongyang Hezhi was seriously injured, so it was unrealistic to go out of the city alone, and it was too difficult to go out of the city with makeup. He has been hiding here for so long, but he has not been found by the Wuji Valley, which is enough to show that someone must take care of him.
If one wanted to go out of the city, one would inevitably get mixed up in the crowd and leave the city while taking advantage of the chaos.
"Oh, there are quite a few of these." The fat shopkeeper said: "The old Wang's family in the restaurant on the street, the old lady is gone, and the day after tomorrow is the time for burial, so I will definitely leave the city; there is also a temple outside the city, Recently, some kind of blessing ceremony was held in the city, and the group of monks will go out of the city in a few days; there is also an opera troupe, which sang a big play in the front square of Yuhualou in the city for a few days, and also received invitations from several shops. After singing the solo performance, when they leave, there will be twenty or so people leaving the city... "
"What time?"
"Almost these days..."
Jiang Shuihan looked at Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan nodded and said calmly: "Let's get ready too. We'll go out in batches these few days to burn incense for Mrs. Wang, watch the monk's blessing ceremony, and then listen to the big show...they When we go out of the city, we will go to drop off... "
"good!"
…
Mrs. Wang is happy and mourning, and she is more than eighty years old.
The monk's blessing ceremony is just a concentrated alms for alms, just for the winter food in the temple.
When Ye Qingxuan brought Wan Guotai, Jiang Shuihan, and Zong Xuan to the square together to watch the opera among the crowds, he saw a four-year-old in the troupe who was preparing for the foreplay. A hardcover man in his teens is performing a banner dance, and behind him is a woman in her thirties performing jujitsu, a young man in his twenties performing an iron gun stabbing his throat, and another handsome seventeen or eighteen-year-old The little girl who practiced a pair of knives...
The performance in the arena was extremely exciting, and the people around cheered and threw copper coins into the arena from time to time, creating a lively atmosphere.
Seeing such a family, Ye Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, and said: "Okay, brothers, we have found the right owner..."
The other three looked at Ye Qingxuan in surprise.
Ye Qingxuan smiled casually and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat, and I'll introduce you to the head of the circus troupe later."
…
The family performing acrobatics is not an outsider.
The burly man surnamed Dong, together with his wife and children, were all senior clerks of the "Sihai Pavilion" and had always been in charge of collecting intelligence and inquiring about news from the world.
Five or six years ago, several disciples of Changkongzhaojianmen came to challenge the Kunwu faction, which was still Qingyun Temple at that time, because of trivial matters. Their family came here to observe, but because their beloved son was seriously injured, they participated in it by accident. In the end, Daoist Lingxu took the initiative to save the child's life, and he formed a relationship with the Kunwu faction.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, the two sides will meet again in this place thousands of miles away, which is really embarrassing.
And with the secret relationship between "Sihai Pavilion" and the imperial court, there is no doubt that the "God Throat" Gongyang Hezhi was able to hide for many days in this unfamiliar place, and it must be their help.
When the main show started and the family surnamed Dong cleaned up, Ye Qingxuan led the crowd to see this burly man in his true colors.
Seeing the benefactor coming suddenly, the big man surnamed Dong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly brought Ye Qingxuan and others to the backstage with his family, maybe immediately took his family to salute Ye Qingxuan and thank him.
Ye Qingxuan hurriedly said humbly: "Brother Dong, I have thanked you a thousand times for what happened back then, so there is no need for us to do this."
The big man's name was Dong Zhonghao, and he said after hearing the words: "Little master, the whole family's great kindness to my family is hard to repay in a lifetime, and these gifts are still necessary..."
Ye Qingxuan denied it with a smile.
After a few simple greetings, Ye Qingxuan introduced the three people behind him one by one, and Ye Qingxuan said: "Huh? Why didn't you see your little Zhier?"
Dong Tianzhi was the child who was seriously injured and saved by Chu Lingxu in the end.
Dong Zhonghao smiled proudly, and said: "The elders in the pavilion have taken a fancy to that kid's talent, and accepted him as a closed disciple, which is considered his blessing. He doesn't have to run around with us and sleep in the open."
"That's not bad."
At this time, Dong Zhonghao's daughter came up with tea. The girl who was originally very handsome was now even more charming. The bodies of the children of the Jianghu who often exercised revealed a healthy atmosphere that ordinary people could not match. Although she is not as beautiful as Mei Yinxue and Jiang Feiran, she is better than most of the so-called beauties in the world.
"Miss Xiu'e has also become so beautiful!"
Ye Qingxuan was a human being in later generations, and he never knew taboos when speaking.
But the people in the Jianghu are not as shy as the ladies of the big family. Dong Zhonghao didn't take it for granted, and said with a smile: "It's seventeen years old, it's time to get married. After this year, I want to find a family to marry this wild girl." go out!"
"I don't want to marry!" Dong Xiu'e stomped her feet, and hid behind her mother coquettishly.
Everyone laughed together.
Zong Xuan said with a slight smile: "Miss Dong is innocent and has a sassy temperament. If we children of the Jianghu marry that ordinary person, we will feel a little wronged."
Zong Xuan was dressed in a white dress with red trim and a red belt with a golden knife on his back. His heroic appearance caught Dong Xiu'e's eyes.
Dong Zhonghao sighed, and said: "But if my precious girl is married to a person in the Jianghu, I can't bear it in my heart."
Everyone couldn't help being silent together.
Seeing that the topic was a bit strange, Dong Zhonghao couldn't help changing the subject quickly, and asked, "I don't know what the benefactor is talking about in this remote town?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled faintly, looked at Dong Zhonghao seriously, and said directly: "I'm here to find someone."
"Find someone!?"
"That's right," Ye Qingxuan said, "Where is Gongyang Hezhi?"
With a sudden sound, the faces of Dong Zhonghao's family changed drastically, and they stood up at the same time, subconsciously touching the weapons at their waists.
The four of Ye Qingxuan remained motionless, looking at the panic-stricken family with smiles.
Leaking this matter in the Valley of Evil is tantamount to announcing the family's death sentence.
"Brother Dong, don't get me wrong!"
Ye Qingxuan took out the knot given to him by Xue Gongwang from his bosom, handed it to Dong Zhonghao and said: "This is the token that Xue Gongwang gave to my subordinate, and I can be regarded as half of the court. People were trapped in the valley, senior Gongyang Hezhi was lucky enough to escape, so I naturally couldn't just sit and watch. I was afraid that the Baidao army would not come easily, so I just ventured into the city. A few days ago, I even had a conflict with the people in the Wuji Valley and the Demon Sect. It was only then that he rushed out of the city. If Big Brother Dong has been here for a long time, he must still remember this matter."
Dong Zhonghao's face was gloomy and uncertain, obviously it was difficult to make a decision on such a major matter. After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be sloppy. Even if the other party is a benefactor of one's own family, one cannot easily make a judgment.
Jiang Shuihan said from the side: "Brother Dong, don't be surprised. If we are members of the Demon Sect, we can just kill them in. We won't do things like this."
Zong Xuan continued: "The matter is urgent, Brother Dong, don't doubt it, here is the token of Senior Xue, Brother Dong might as well show it to Gong Yang and have a look, the truth will be revealed immediately."
"That's right, father, what this young master said is right..." Dong Xiu'e said first.
Dong Zhonghao glared at his daughter angrily, Dong Xiu'e immediately lowered her head with a flushed face, and sneaked a sneaky look at Zong Xuan, but when she saw the other party looking over, she nodded and thanked her smartly, she couldn't help but blush very much, and bowed her head in silence .
"That's right, old Dong, our benefactor will not harm us..." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Dong's wife could not help but persuade her.
"Okay, benefactor stay here for now, Dong will come whenever he goes..."
Dong Zhonghao took out the token, bowed his hands and turned to go out.
Not long after, Dong Zhonghao turned around with an excited expression on his face, all his original caution disappeared, he saluted respectfully, and said anxiously: "Your Engong is indeed right, Mr. Gongyang wants to see all of you, please follow me Come."
