Chapter 545: Meeting of Grandmasters, Peak of Luliang (2)
It was already summer, the end of April in the lunar calendar, but Qingmuzhai seemed to have just experienced the first spring thunder after the wake of hibernation. People who had been quietly hiding in the dark began to poke their heads out eagerly.
As the evening falls, a restless atmosphere envelopes the valley, which was already under pressure, like a stuffy jar. When the lights gradually light up, the atmosphere of summer seems to become more obvious, and people from every household go out.
When I came to the door, I stood beside the grain field and the road, looking at the higher places in the mountains, talking loudly or whispering about the events of the past few days. Members of Qingmuzhai who were responsible for patrol would occasionally be stopped and asked
What is the current situation? The patrolman loudly said a few words of comfort.
Just like Luan Sanlang and others, as mountain people from Luliang, most of them have contempt and fear for outsiders. These days, the atmosphere in Qingmuzhai has become increasingly tense, with the gathering of a large number of outsiders, and the addition of other mountains
Most of the people who can survive here feel it. There are even situations where family members are temporarily transferred and sent away secretly. Especially recently, the secret gathering trend of Luanshan King, Black Skull King and others has changed.
It became more and more obvious. Lin Zongwu arrived again this afternoon, and the situation became even more chaotic.
The Wu Dynasty defeated Fangla's uprising, but although there were restrictions on the development of religion, the overall situation was still loose. The Great Guangming Sect developed from the foundation of Manichaeism. Although all the elites in the south were lost due to Fangla's uprising, the north
Some of them have been preserved. In the Luliang Mountains, people will have heard about the gifts of medicine and medicine given by the Great Guangming Sect. In short, they can understand that this is a very powerful sect. The leader of the other party came in person, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
, but it is correct that it represents the most powerful group of outsiders who intervened in Luliang.
No matter how ferocious and evil the Luliang people are, no matter how evil they are, they are just a small Luliang Mountain that can hold up a state or a county. How can it hold up against such a behemoth that dominates the Wu Dynasty? And the opponent has such unparalleled skills
Claiming to visit the Blood Bodhisattva is probably going to cause some trouble...
Ordinary residents in the mountain are so puzzled and use their own connections to inquire about what is going on in the mountain. However, that night, there was no fist wind and sword energy flying around on the mountainside of Qingmuzhai, at least from the surface.
To put it bluntly, the business currently being run by Qingmuzhai is no longer on a scale where other people come to the mountain to pay a visit, and the owner of the village can help solve the problem by trying his hand at it. The arrival of the leader of the Great Brightness, on the surface, is also for preaching and doing good deeds.
Donate doctors and medicines and send warmth to the countryside.
In essence, Lin Echan, who came to Luliang, would not be willing to run up to find someone to help him compare with others before going down, and those on the side of Qingmuzhai would never want to see the opponent go up the mountain and be forced to fight on their own side.
Who knows if he came here after recharging his energy. On his own territory, everyone doesn't mind waiting and delaying a little longer. Therefore, the reception he received Lin Zongwu that afternoon was actually after learning that
After the incident, Liang Bingfu took the lead.
At night, in the courtyard below where guests are accommodated, groups of people come and go frequently, communicate privately, and begin to make final efforts to win over and negotiate. If things are going to change, everyone will hope that their side can still gain benefits.
Lou Shuwan was active during this period, and together with Yu Yulin and others, they visited one by one. He Shuyuan did the same, but when he saw Ning Yi, he was busy holding his hands and smiling.
"Brother Ning." He said with an apologetic look, "Let me explain first, so as not to misunderstand Brother Ning, Brother Yu had no idea about Master Lin's coming to Luliang before. Master Lin went around sending doctors and medicines, running for the people, and taking the common people as his life.
If there are any changes to the situation in Qingmuzhai, Brother Ning will be very concerned about it..."
"Where it is, of course I understand." Ning Yi replied with a smile.
Returning to the small courtyard room, among the lights, elm cannons, crossbows and other items were being maintained and inspected. On the table in the room, there was a topographic map of Qingmuzhai...
Over there, He Shuyuan was also running around excitedly. He used to have a strong family and thought that this business was a sure thing, so he didn't bother to do more business with these people, but now it's different. This young man is called the inner demon.
Blocked in front, he must unite all available forces, centered on Lin Zongwu, the great master who came here to shake Luliang this time, to leverage all the forces that want Qingmuzhai to change and give the opponent the greatest strength.
hit.
Soon after, he also found Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin and others, and the two sides discussed the countermeasures enthusiastically.
In the back mountain of Qingmuzhai, torches were burning, illuminating the figures gathered in the room. These people, headed by Cao Qianyong, the leader of the third Qingmu Village, and Han Jing, the leader of the fifth village, were discussing matters with solemn expressions. On the open space outside the room, a group of people gathered.
Team after team, row after row, the black shadows stood there silently, stretching towards the dark distance, waiting for orders and mobilization. In the night sky, there was no moon and the sky was filled with stars.
Luan Sanlang led his men running through the mountains and fields, the sound of horse hooves echoing in the dark night. Forty-five miles away from the outskirts of Qingmuzhai, he stepped onto the mountain ridge in front. In the hunting wind, he saw the light of torches spreading in front of him.
A long marching array in the valley. The Black Skeleton King tightened the reins, the horse neighed, and the steel skull rosary was raised in the air.
Late that night, several groups of Luliang thieves approached Qingmuzhai and met more than ten miles outside the village. There were still countless retail investors in all directions. The leaders on the hilltop were awakened by the atmosphere and headed towards this place.
Gathered around.
A little further away from the courtyard where Liang Bingfu lived, there was a row of quiet old houses. There was a basin of hot water in front of the steps. The woman sat there, took off her shoes and socks, and put her feet into the basin. She leaned back slightly and looked at
Looking at the starry night sky and humming a tune happily, Ning Yi came up from the other side of the mountain road.
He also took off his shoes and socks and sat with her. After a while, he also hummed a monotonous tune that had no melody. The two of them hummed and looked at the stars under the eaves.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the mountainside, Lin Zongwu was in the room, listening to others retelling the details of various transactions...
The night slowly reached dawn. During the next day, on the Qingmu Outer Market, some people who smelled the aura of murder began to pack up and flee. Some people fled to Qingmu Village, but half of the people who had nowhere to go were still there.
Stay together and wait and see - if Luan Sanlang and others have already forced their way over, then there may not be a truly safe road near Qingmuzhai.
Only in the yard on the mountainside, people who had been in contact with each other all night began to walk at a slow pace, chat, or people who learned from Bamboo Records did some exercises. The things and discussions last night seemed to have been put in their minds.
In the end, there was only a tacit light shining in each other's eyes.
Lou Shuwan didn't fall asleep until dawn. After only sleeping for an hour, she got up again, put on her cloak and led her entourage down the mountain early and out of the village. When the sun was high in the morning, she came back again and ate
After a simple breakfast, I wandered around Zhuji's yard, but I didn't see Ning Yi.
Soon, she went to where the members of the Great Light Sect were. Many people gathered in the courtyard and listened to the lectures of the great master who looked like Maitreya Buddha. Lou Shuwan also went in to listen.
There is nothing deviant about the teachings of the Great Guangming Sect. It is nothing more than guiding people to do good and eliminate evil. Lou Shuwan recalled listening to monks preaching in Hangzhou and it was the same feeling. It’s just that she can never go back to those years.
...After the leader finished speaking, he met with her privately, but did not discuss business or transactions.
"Miss Lou has a clear mind and a clear understanding of people's hearts. She is a person with wisdom. But sometimes she puts too much thought into it, which may cause some damage to her body. In my opinion, Miss Lou's headache, tossing and turning at night, and
I’ve been plagued by nightmares for a while, I’m afraid, so I just want to remind the girl to take more care.”
In the rich voice, she saw the big fat man walking towards him. He naturally held one of her hands, squeezed it, twisted it and let go. Then, heat seemed to surge up from the Laogong point on his hand, and a
One part went to the forehead, and the other went to the chest. After a moment of dizziness, the whole person seemed to feel much more relaxed.
"In life, it is inevitable that there will be obsessions. Sometimes we live by it, and sometimes we are troubled by it. In the eyes of my girl Guanlou, there are also deep obsessions. If this continues, it will inevitably hurt the mind. Here is a recipe for using it.
It can alleviate the pain of labor a little, and when I write it down, Miss Lou can use it."
Lou Shuwan was still dazed, but Lin Zongwu had already walked to the table, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to her. Lou Shuwan took it and looked at it for a few times, seeing that this master-level expert seemed to be no longer there.
I wanted to talk to her again, so I thanked her, said goodbye, and turned around. But after a moment, I stopped again: "Don't you always tell people to let go?"
Lin Zongwu was silent for a moment behind him. When Lou Shuwan was waiting to leave again, he spoke: "In life, you advance and retreat. It is easy to let go. Everyone knows this truth. I know it, and Miss Lou also knows it in her heart.
Now that you know it, can you let it go?"
"..." Lou Shuwan said nothing.
"Since you can't let go, why should I advise you? If Miss Lou can let go one day, it will be a blessing, but if you can't retreat, why not move forward. The Buddhist religion teaches people to let go, and I, the Great Light Sect, only teach people to be kind.
Get rid of evil. If there is no evil in the world, how can we know the value of good? If there is no suffering in life, how can we know the joy of sweetness."
Lou Shuwan took the prescription and left the room. Lin Zongwu's voice was still ringing in her ears. The first half of his words sounded like he cared for believers or patients, while the second half sounded more like he cared for his partners.
He was frank and without any airs. Lou Shuwan didn't know martial arts, but he thought to himself, this is the real grand master.
Wherever there is a master who is busy getting married, she is just a female bandit...
She was thinking about this in the tense atmosphere on the mountain and down the mountain. Soon, someone from Qingmuzhai sent an invitation. The owner of the village held a banquet in the hall on the mountain tonight to entertain the Great Guangming Cult Leader and friends from all walks of life.
, Lou Shuwan thanked her and accepted the invitation.
Then after noon, a team approached Qingmuzhai. Several representatives selected by the "Luanshan King", "Black Skull King", Brother Fang Yiyang and others led their entourage from outside to pay a visit to the "Great Guangming Cult Leader" who came from afar.
, listen to the teachings. At the same time, there are also "Lüliang Mountain Affairs" who come to visit the Blood Bodhisattva and ask for advice.
The sun seemed to be turning pale white in the sky. On the outskirts of Qingmuzhai, a vast lineup of more than 5,000 people surrounded them. In Qingmuzhai, including the entourage led by He Shuyuan, the elites under Tian Hu, and Wu Shengjun's entourage.
The soldiers who came with deputy general Xiao Cheng, the people brought by Dong Pang'er's envoy, and the entourage brought by representatives of other small forces, totaling zero and nearly a thousand elites, were like bombs whose positions were undecided. In the silence,
In, ready to move.
Qingmuzhai in the valley tolerates all the trivial commotions in such tension. When the sun sets, Lou Shuwan walks out of the room and feels the evening mountain breeze. All the things that should be dropped have already been dropped.
She, Yu Yulin and others walked towards the Qingmuzhai Juyi Hall halfway up the mountain, where the lights were already on.
In the mountains, Tian Shi flew over the steep mountain wall and fell towards the road below. The noise attracted the attention of the soldiers in nearby Qingmuzhai, but Tian Shi first clasped his fists and handed over his hands: "Miss Lu, I have something to say!"
In front are houses, open space, and a small platform hanging on the side of the mountain facing the valley bottom. On the edge of the slightly raised platform, Lu Hongti, wearing a black dress, is standing there, looking towards the valley, the mountain breeze
Blowing up her clothes and hair.
"Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Guangming Cult, has profound martial arts and has reached the realm of enlightenment. Although Miss Lu is very skilled in martial arts, she should not put the safety of the entire mountain on the line in a battle. Today's matter may be said to be complicated, but it may also be said to be simple. As long as Miss Lu can have
With a slight concession, Tian Shi is willing to lobby for Miss Lu. These people at the foot of the mountain are in a loose alliance. As long as the King of Jin withdraws, they will not be able to achieve great things. With Tian's intention and the earnest heart of the King of Jin, please invite Miss Lu.
Think twice——”
Before he finished speaking, a sound rang out from the mountains on the side. It was the sound of footsteps. The boiling footsteps passed through the mountains and woods. First the cavalry, then the infantry, divided into two teams, crossed the mountain road towards Qingmuzhai
People were running and gathering below, the sound of footsteps shattered the dusk, and murderous intent filled the sky.
Lu Hongti turned around. Behind her was a valley that looked peaceful and prosperous. The setting sun shone over, and wisps of smoke were rising from the mountain roads and valleys separated by water. In the evening smoke, soldiers were fighting.
Like a rushing stream gathering together. The woman turned around, and the mountain wind blew from behind, raising the roar of hunting. Tian Shi felt her eyes sweeping over him. At that moment, it seemed that the entire valley, smoke, sunset and ominous soldiers
The sharp edges gathered on the woman's body, and the powerful and orange-red light rushed from behind her with the force of swallowing up the sky and the earth, and then merged with her.
The emotion at this moment was like an illusion. It was not murderous intent, but a real feeling of the distance between ordinary warriors and great masters. The whole world was blended with her. However, at this moment, Hong Ti
What she was looking at was not him. Her eyes slanted across the valley, looking at a place on the mountainside on the other side.
Time went back a little, and in the room, He Shuyuan finished all the arrangements with Lin Zongwu, and then said: "During the inquiry, He also heard some things. It is said that the so-called inner demon Ning Yi is actually not very good in martial arts.
If possible, other people can be arranged to deal with him. There are some masters among the entourage brought by Master Lin, and there are also some people among the people brought by He who are not weak. If..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zongwu closed his eyes: "The inner demon Ning Yi, his own martial arts is indeed not high."
He Shuyuan suddenly became happy: "Since Master Lin said so, then..."
"... But when it comes to dealing with him, he is even more difficult to deal with than the Blood Bodhisattva of Qingmuzhai. Except for He Yuan, before you have really fought with him, you guys should try to stay out of it, otherwise, even if you are added together, I'm afraid
They will all be chewed to pieces by him. This person’s methods are beyond your imagination..."
"Uh..." He Shuyuan opened his mouth slightly.
Lin Zongwu had already stood up, and he smiled slightly: "Before I came here, I never thought that he would be here, but now that I have encountered this, I suddenly remembered that I have a surprise for them. When the time comes,
The whole world will definitely celebrate and everyone will be happy. When the time comes, all you have to do is adapt accordingly."
He Shuyuan was confused and followed him before stepping out of the room. The sound of soldiers' footsteps roared down from the mountains over there. Lin Zongwu seemed to sense something and stopped, looking at a place diagonally above.
In the past, from a distance, the female grandmaster of Luliang Mountain whom he had not seen yet cast a startling glance at the setting sun. The whole world gathered momentum and pressed towards him, making his heart move.
I never expected that I would meet a real master here...
Realizing this in his heart, and then thinking of what he just said, he gradually laughed.
"Hehehehe...hahahahahahaha——"
He was overjoyed, and his laughter gradually became louder. He put his hands on his back and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the Juyi Hall on the mountainside. The laughter driven by internal force was full and loud, deafening, and in the evening atmosphere of Qingmuzhai
It was like a ferocious wave, covering the mountainside, circling and reverberating. At this time, the footsteps and murderous intent brought by the soldiers, mixed with the sudden laughter, and the tense atmosphere of Qingmuzhai, made everyone feel nervous.
Everyone is nervous and confused...
In a courtyard on the side of the Juyi Hall, Ning Yi, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and relaxing, frowned slightly when he heard the laughter. Human hearts, desires, interests, demands, countless lines are mixed and intertwined,
In the end, it will break out into several key points, some of which he can grasp, and some of which he cannot. After repeated calculations, Hong Ti came over silently.
Soon, the three people will gather together, and the rest will become supporting roles. And in the middle, there will be something that neither he nor Hong Ti expected, which will become a variable and be inserted into it...
