Chapter 567: Conquering the enemy without fighting
In Xuanzhong, Yue Buqun listened to Li Mu's report on the situation in Hengyang Mansion. He knew that all Jianghu people had retreated, and with the Hengshan sect here, the Liu family was no longer in great danger, so he nodded.
Li Mu continued: "On my way back to the mountain, my disciple met Mr. Mo Da nearby yesterday."
Yue Buqun said: "Senior Brother Mo has been in our Huashan Mountain for many days, but I didn't expect that you would meet him."
Li Mu said: "Not only is Mr. Mo Da, but the disciples yesterday also met Uncle Ding from the Songshan Sect, Uncle Lu from the Hengshan Sect, and a few people who are said to be members of our Huashan Sword Sect."
Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, then became serious immediately.
So Li Mu told the story of how he met Mr. Mo Da last night, climbed up to the roof, and eavesdropped on the conversation of several people.
Yue Buqun snorted and said: "Senior Brother Zuo really doesn't want me to leave Huashan alone! It would be nice to meet them."
Li Mu said: "They are now waiting for an uncle from the Taishan Sect. When someone arrives, they are said to be visiting in the name of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. However, Uncle Lu has been taken away by Uncle Mo overnight. I wonder if there will be any more."
variable."
Yue Buqun smiled calmly: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. The Sword Sect was defeated more than 20 years ago. After being manipulated by Songshan, there is another sword fight. It's just a farce."
Li Mu said: "How about I go down the mountain with senior brother and drive them away."
Yue Buqun shook his head: "If the Songshan sect wasn't behind this, it would be a farce in itself. There's no need to drive them away. Let them finish their show, otherwise, we don't know what tricks are waiting behind them."
Li Mu nodded: "What Master said makes sense."
Yue Buqun sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"
"Over the years, Senior Brother Zuo has always wanted to merge the Five Sacred Mountains into one sect. He said that only by merging the Five Sacred Mountains can he join forces with Shaolin, Wudang, and the Demon Sect. However, no one except him, the Songshan Sect, has ever agreed."
"The Songshan Sect's lobbying failed. In the past few years, they have been recruiting people from the heretical ways and have been plotting constantly. We, Huashan, Hengshan, Hengshan, and Taishan, have all been subjected to his schemes. This time the so-called Jianzong returned to Huashan to compete for the leadership, it was nothing more than a plan.
He is just preparing for the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains."
After saying this, he sneered a few times: "The descendants of the Sword Sect compete with Yue for the head of Huashan. If it is not handled properly and word spreads to the world, what will everyone say?"
"After the Songshan sect adds fuel to the fire, might it become an internal strife among our Huashan sect?"
"He is just doing this to prepare for the forced merging of factions in the future. How much damage such rumors in the world can do to our faction, let's just wait and see what he does."
As he spoke, he suddenly took a long breath and said: "We, Huashan, have been tolerant for more than 20 years. Some people think that we are weak and can be bullied. Don't you think that today is no better than in the past? We should also let them know the strength of Huashan. Lu Lu Huashan
It’s so sharp.”
…
In the afternoon, knowing that Linghu Chong was thinking about crossing the cliff, Li Mu picked up a jar of wine, a roast chicken, and two kilograms of soy sauce beef, and hurried over.
Before they reached the place, they heard what seemed like the sound of fighting at the top of the peak. After walking a few dozen feet, they saw Linghu Chong holding a long sword and fighting with six strange-looking people.
"This is the Six Immortals of Peach Valley!"
Linghu Chong was seen holding a long sword, walking around the six people with a leisurely expression, and swaying the sword casually, which was often able to neutralize the encirclement attack of the six people.
"This is the use of the Dugu Nine Swords."
Seeing this, Li Mu didn't come forward to disturb him and watched silently.
Relying on the strength of the six people, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley were able to resist at first. As Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords became more and more fierce, one sword followed another, and the formation formed by the six people was restrained. Six
When people move forward and backward, they feel that they are out of power, and the more they fight, the more awkward they become.
After fighting for a while, one person shouted: "No fight, no fight, we can't beat you."
The six of them retreated together and put away their weapons. Linghu Chong held the long sword in his hand and said with a faint smile: "Six brothers Tao, you have been defeated. Please come down the mountain."
One person said: "We never said we would go down the mountain if we lose. Why should we go down? No, no."
Another person said: "We won the little nun, and we agreed to take you to see him, but you don't go. How can we go down the mountain?"
Linghu Chong said: "Six of you, please go back. If there is a chance to go to Hengshan, I will explain it clearly to you in front of little junior sister Yilin."
One person said: "No, no, we promised the little nun that we will take you over to see her."
Linghu Chong was helpless and held the sword in his hand: "In that case, let's fight again."
This time, Linghu Chong stopped being polite and took the lead directly, attacking without defending. He fully displayed the sword intent of Dugu Nine Swords.
The six people were restrained in their moves, and dangers arose for a while, which inevitably made them feel timid.
The youngest one shouted: "Brothers! Damn it, damn it. Why is this kid even more powerful than before?"
Another person resisted and said: "It's not a ghost, maybe this kid has an epiphany."
The youngest one shouted: "I can't beat him, I can't beat him. Brothers, let's go quickly!"
Pretend to run away at any time.
Another person said: "Okay, let's go, no more fighting.
Another person asked: "What about the little nun?"
The youngest one shouted: "Let the little nun do it by herself. She is a nun and Linghu Chong will not compete with her."
The man who asked the question was enlightened and said: "Linghu Chong can't fight with her, so the little nun won't lose. So the little nun is more powerful than us."
"Yes! Yes! The little nun is so powerful, let the little nun do it by herself."
Before he finished speaking, the six people jumped backwards at the same time and jumped out of Linghu's sword light. Linghu Chong immediately stopped his sword and did not chase after him, watching the six people skip away.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Elder brother, you are so cool!"
Linghu Chong's face lit up with joy: "Junior Brother Lin, when did you come back?"
Li Mu said: "I just came back. I heard that you were punished to go up the cliff again. I came to see you and brought you a jar of wine."
Linghu Chong laughed, and Hou hurriedly stepped forward to open the wine seal, poured a bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Have fun!"
After finishing the drink, he quickly put the roast chicken and soy sauce beef on the table and poured a bowl of wine for Li Mu. The two of them laughed while holding the wine, feeling proud for a moment.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Li Muzheng and Linghu Chong were competing in swordsmanship. The voice of Dayu Lu from far away came: "Senior Brother, Seventh Junior Brother, the Songshan Sect has brought people up."
Li Mu put away his swords, laughed, and walked down the mountain with Lu Dayou.
Several people came to the Zhengqi Hall and saw many Huashan disciples surrounding the door, all secretly watching from the windows.
Li Mu also stepped forward, leaned towards the window, and looked inside.
In the Zhengqi Hall, Yue Buqun sat in the main seat, while Ning Zhong sat next to him. There were refreshments on the table.
Below, on the left are Ding Mian from the Songshan Sect and a Taoist from the Taishan Sect. Sitting on the right are three strangers, probably Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi from the Jian Sect.
I only heard Ding Mian say: "Brother Yue, it is not convenient for us outsiders to intervene in the affairs of your sect. It is just that our Five Sacred Sword Sects have formed an alliance to share prosperity and disgrace. If one sect misbehaves and is laughed at by colleagues in the world, the other four sects will suffer the same fate."
It's so shameful."
"Just now Ning Nuxia said that my Songshan sect and Taishan sect shouldn't meddle in other people's business. This statement is definitely wrong."
Ning Zhong knew that he was deliberately looking for trouble and was not angry.
"Senior Brother Ding, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Ding Mian coughed slightly and said: "Senior Brother Yue, Ning Nuxia, Rong Ding, let me be fair. In the battle between the Huashan Sect's sword energy, who won and who lost was just a one-sided statement. Junior Brother Cheng said it was because of his anger.
Zong may have used conspiracy tactics, maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, and now more than 20 years have passed, and we have no way of knowing what happened back then.”
"Now that Jian Zong's junior disciples are looking for the leader of the Left Alliance to make the decision, it's better to clarify these things and figure out who can represent Huashan."
Yue Buqun snorted softly and said: "Whether it is the Sword Sect or the Qi Sect, it is an internal matter of our Huashan Sect. Although the left leader of the Songshan Sect is the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, after all, the Five Mountains are not the same sect. Senior Brother Zuo is too lenient.
Bar?"
Ding Mian smiled and said: "Senior Brother Yue, what you said is wrong. The Five Mountains Sword Sect is the same spirit. In the world of martial arts, there has long been a relationship where both prosper and suffer. If Huashan does not do well, the damage will be done to the Five Mountains Sword Sect together.
I have to take care of your reputation."
After Ding Mian finished speaking, he looked at Taishan Taoist sitting next to him. The Taoist understood.
Echoed: "Yes, Senior Brother Ding is right. If Huashan Sect cannot handle this matter properly, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. We have to be cautious. Leader Zuo also wants to do this for the reputation of our Five Mountains Sword Sect."
.”
Yue Buqun smiled faintly: "So, it's my improper handling of affairs in Huashan that has ruined your sect's reputation?"
Ding Mian said: "I dare not, but as the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance of the Songshan Sect, it is our duty to assist Senior Brother Yue in cleaning up the evil spirits in our sect!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
The purple color on Yue Buqun's face appeared and then disappeared: "Who is the traitor that Senior Brother Ding is talking about?"
Ding Mian's heart tightened. He knew that what he said was a bit too much. Don't look at five people. If they fight, they will lose more than they win. He was thinking about how to calm down.
Li Mu smiled faintly and walked in: "Master, isn't Master Ding talking about his disciples?"
Everyone onlookers were stunned and looked over.
Yue Buqun asked: "Why do you say that?"
Li Mu said: "Two months ago in Hengyang City, my disciples restrained Uncle Ding. Perhaps Uncle Ding was not angry and came here today to express his anger."
As soon as he finished speaking, Linghu Chong also walked out.
Holding his fists, he said: "In this way, the evil that Master Ding mentioned is also due to the disciples. Two months ago, the disciples cooperated with Junior Brother Lin in Hengyang City and captured Master Fei."
Yue Buqun smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Ding has always been upright. Besides, if we are competing in public, I would not come all the way to Huashan just because I am angry with you." After saying that, he looked at Ding Mian.
Looking at Li Mu and Linghu Chong, Ding Mian's eyes were a little dodgey, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He even said helpfully: "Of course not."
"Two nephews, please go down first!"
Seeing that Li Mu and Linghu Chong did not move, Ding Mian felt a little embarrassed and could only turn to Yue Buqun and said: "Brother Yue, we are still discussing important matters. If the two nephews have finished talking, can they step aside for a while?"
Yue Buqun said with a gentle face: "Chong'er, Pingzhi, do you still have something to do?"
Li Mu hesitated and said, "It's not a big deal, I'm just curious?"
Yue Buqun said: "What are you curious about?"
Li Mu said: "I heard that Master Ding is the second master of the Songshan Sect. I wonder how he compares to the other Masters of the Sword Sect?"
Yue Buqun looked at Ding Mian, then at the members of the Sword Sect, and said hesitantly: "Maybe among the brothers."
Li Mu said "Ah": "Aren't the uncles from the Sword Sect here to compete with the master for the position of leader? The martial arts should be stronger, and they can't even defeat the disciples! Why are you so embarrassed?"
Ding Mian's face turned dark and he felt bad.
Several people from Jianzong even slapped the table and stood up: "You are talking nonsense, how can we not defeat you."
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "But Master Ding is indeed no match for this disciple. Are you much better than Master Ding?"
Several members of the Jianzong were immediately speechless! They also knew that Ding Mian was the second most important person in Songshan after all, so they were praised among their brothers.
At this time, even if they really wanted to stand up and teach Li Mu, a boy who didn't know the heights of the world, their hearts sank when they looked at the silent Ding Mian.
Before they went to Mount Huashan, they had heard of the reputations of Li Mu and Linghu Chong, and they were said to have defeated Ding Mian and Fei Bin. They didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was an exaggerated rumor common in the world.
When I met Ding Mian, I didn't ask for confirmation to avoid losing face.
Only now have I discovered that this is true, without any water added to it.
Li Mu smiled and said: "If the apprentices think that the disciple is wrong, we can give it a try."
A few people could still hold back, but they were about to jump out with their swords drawn.
Ding Mian knew it was not good, so he stood up and said: "Senior Brother Yue, what we are discussing today is a major matter for your sect. If my nephew is fine, let him go down first!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yue Buqun looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu looked at the three uncles of Jianzong, looking eager to try.
Although they were holding back their anger, the three of them had to endure it in the face of Li Mu's provocation. What if they lost to Yue Buqun's disciples on impulse? How could they have the dignity to compete for the leadership of Huashan?
Perhaps, you shouldn't be used as a gunman and wade through this muddy water.
Seeing that they didn't move, Li Mu knew that the overall situation had been decided. He had lost the opponent's face and overpowered the opponent. He probably couldn't use force today, and suddenly felt that it didn't make much sense.
He cupped his fists and said, "I won't disturb the elders' discussion. I'll take my leave now."
The overall situation was settled, and Yue Buqun asked his disciples to order tea and fruits to keep the atmosphere from getting cold. The posture at this time was clearly the same as when the master greeted the guests! Where was the tense atmosphere from before?
After a long time, Feng Buping suddenly sighed, knowing that nothing could be done. He couldn't help but feel discouraged for a while, and said with his hands crossed: "Senior Brother Yue, I've been waiting for Meng Lang. I want to pay homage to the soul of the ancestor of our sect, but I don't know..."
Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Junior Brother Feng, please."
Turning to Laudno, he said: "Arrange the incense candles."
Laudnor responded "Yes", turned around and walked out the door.
Ding Mian looked ugly, knowing that this trip to Huashan was a complete failure. In fact, when he discovered that Lu Lianrong was missing in the morning, there were already such signs. Now that he thought about it, Lu Lianrong was missing, so he must have something to do with the Huashan sect.
Otherwise, how could Yue Buqun and others be so calm and restrained in everything!
Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi followed Yue Buqun and his wife out of the Zhengqi Hall. Feng Buping looked back at the plaque above his head and saw the three characters "Zhengqi Hall", which was a bit dazzling.
Feng Buping murmured: "Zhengqi Hall, Zhengqi Hall, this used to be called Sword Qi Chongxiao Hall
Yue Buqun was startled, and Feng Buping sighed again: "It doesn't matter if it has been changed, the reason for the sword competition back then was just because of this small plaque... Sword Qi, Sword Qi, who is in front and who is behind, what's the difference?
Same."
Hearing this, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were filled with emotion, and they thought that it was such a small plaque that caused the war between the two sects.
Qi Zong felt that "the sword energy was soaring into the sky", so he put the sword in front of Qi, which made the Qi Zong people shorter, so he insisted on replacing the plaque. Naturally, the Jian Zong people didn't allow it, and the matter was done.
The direct trigger of the sword fight between the two sects.
Several people quickly arrived at the ancestral hall. The interior was solemnly decorated, with long swords hanging on both sides. The decorations were exactly the same as those many years ago.
Only the plaque in the middle was replaced with the four characters "Use Qi to Control the Sword".
Feng Buping and others knelt in front of the incense table, their eyes seemed to flash with tears. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong looked at each other, each with complicated emotions that were difficult to describe.
After sending off Feng Buping and others, Huashan became quiet again, but the world gradually became turbulent.
