Su Yi's choice to let Shangguan Yun accompany him as his assistant was definitely the smartest choice.
This person is very attentive and well-informed. He has made proper arrangements for food, clothing, housing, transportation and other issues along the way. He appears when he should appear, and when he should not appear, he will act as a coachman and drive the car honestly, and will never be too troublesome.
The first day's journey was mostly in plain areas, and we also took official roads.
But even so, the bumpy carriage made Su Yi very uncomfortable.
The experience of riding a carriage in ancient times is very poor. This thing has no shock absorption and the road is uneven. How bumpy is it?
Let's put it this way, the function of the carriage is to ensure that you will not be thrown off.
Su Yi felt that it was not as refreshing as riding a horse.
The scene on TV where people are drinking and eating food in a carriage with a table set up is definitely for fools.
A carriage is not a railway train. If you dare to do this, it would be strange if vegetable soup and wine were not splashed all over you.
But then again, if you really go horseback riding, you will feel like you are in heaven in the carriage.
The ancients said that the journey is tiring, and these four words really illustrate the hardships of the journey.
Fortunately, this journey is not all about rushing. When he reaches beautiful mountains and clear waters, or encounters unique scenery, Shangguan Yun will slow down a little or simply stop, allowing Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai to get out of the carriage, take a look at the scenery, and take a moment.
Stay and rest.
With the company of a beautiful woman and the beautiful scenery as an adjustment, even if the journey is tiring, it is not an unbearable event.
Dongfang Bubai didn't care at all. He was either chatting with Su Yi to relieve his boredom, or meditating and practicing. He was quite calm and calm in the bumpy environment.
After experiencing the initial intense discomfort, Su Yi gradually got used to it.
When Dongfang Bubai was meditating and practicing, he took out the "Tai Chi Sutra" and read it with gusto.
Dongfang Bubai warned him: "Brother Lian, you can just read this book to relieve your boredom, but don't practice according to it, let alone regard the principles in the book as a guide. You must know that there are thousands of martial arts in the world, and each has its own principles.
.If you preconceptionally believe that the martial arts principles of the "Tai Chi Sutra" are authentic, that would be bad."
Su Yi could hear the kindness in these words.
Is "Tai Chi Sutra" good?
How could Xuanmen be authentic and not good?
It is no exaggeration to describe it as profound and profound.
The martial arts recorded in this secret book were even more exquisite and mysterious, and Su Yi was mesmerized by them.
But can Su Yi practice?
Really can't!
The more authentic and Taoist it is, the more Su Yi wants to stay away from it.
Because the more authentic things are, the more emphasis is placed on step-by-step progress, and initial progress is extremely slow. If he really wanted to practice, Su Yi would probably just get started in half a year.
If you want to master it, you can't do it without ten or eight years of hard work.
Su Yi's pursuit of martial arts is quick success, so no matter how good the "Tai Chi Sutra" is, you should stay away from it.
Then I won’t practice, but just look at the martial arts principles and the principles and methods of its inner strength, okay?
As a beginner, if you don't understand it, it's fine, but if you understand it, it's not good.
Tai Chi was invented by Zhang Sanfeng. As a god-like figure, Zhang Sanfeng expounded the martial arts principles. How exquisite must they be?
If you read it, you will definitely feel that this is the truth.
Once you accept a truth, it's difficult to subvert it.
For example, if you have been materialistic, studied science, and understood physics and chemistry since elementary school, your three views on how the world works have already been formed.
But now you are suddenly made to believe that the world was created by God, that there is heaven and hell, and that holy water can cure all diseases. Can you believe it?
Even if God is really standing in front of you, you have to wonder if it is a special effect.
This is why Dongfang Bubai admonished Su Yi.
From Dongfang Bubai's point of view, Su Yi is just a blank piece of paper, whatever he draws on it is what he wants, so he can't put pen to paper easily.
It was already afternoon when we walked all the way to Zhao County.
Here the three of them found a famous local inn to stay, had a good meal and took a short rest before continuing on the road.
We walked and stopped all the way, and we arrived at Xinhe County only when it was getting dark in the evening.
The four horse-drawn carriages traveled not too slowly this day, but they had only covered a distance of more than sixty kilometers.
The speed of this journey was so slow that Su Yi could not bear it.
Along the way, Shangguan Yun called Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai "Master Yang and Mrs. Yang", while he changed his name to Jiang Qi. On the way, he also met some knights and heroes on their way, but everyone went their own way and did not disturb each other.
, there was no such thing as drawing a sword at the slightest disagreement.
Not even a robber.
It's not that the world is safe and orderly, but because Shangguan Yun sells very well, and he is a master at first sight. In addition, people who can afford to ride four carriages must be rich or noble, and ordinary thieves would not dare to provoke him.
That night, the three of them stayed at an inn in Xinhe County.
At the same time, in the land of Jingluo far away in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there was a place called Green Bamboo Alley to the east of the city.
A man wearing a bamboo hat strode to the end of the alley, and a wooden house stood in front of him, blocking the way. In front of the house was a large piece of green bamboo, swaying in the wind, elegant and natural.
This alley is named after this piece of green bamboo.
It was getting late at this time, and the oil lamp in the house was like a bean, emitting a dim yellow light.
Perhaps when he heard footsteps, a stooped old man suddenly jumped out of the house and asked warily: "Who is it!"
His voice is old, but his movements are extremely flexible and his eyes are extremely sharp.
The visitor laughed and took off his bamboo hat and said, "Green Bamboo Man, don't you even recognize me?"
The hunched old man was also the Green Bamboo Man. When he took a closer look under the moonlight, he saw that the man had a pale face, a sparse and long white beard under his chin, hanging down on his chest, and a heroic demeanor.
His expression suddenly changed, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that the ambassador from the left is here, but he failed to greet you from a distance. It's disrespectful, disrespectful!"
This heroic old man is Xiang Wentian, the left envoy of the Sun and Moon God Sect, known as the King of Heaven and Laozi.
"Where's Yingying?" Xiang Wentian asked.
"Saint aunt is at peace!" Green Bamboo Man said hurriedly, "Envoy Zuo wait a moment, let me go in and report."
At this moment, a light voice came from the room: "Is this Uncle Xiang? Please come in quickly."
The words were mixed with joy.
"Yes!" Green Bamboo Man hurriedly agreed and stepped aside.
Xiang Wentian stroked his beard and smiled, striding into the house.
I saw a graceful and graceful young woman standing up at the table opposite the main hall and looking over in surprise.
"Uncle Xiang, are you coming to see me?"
This woman is Ren Yingying, the daughter of the holy aunt of the Sun and Moon God Sect and the former director of Woxing.
Although she has no real power in the Sun and Moon God Sect, her status is respected. Even the elders of the Hall respect her.
This is not only because she is Ren Woxing's daughter, but also because Dongfang Bubai loves her very much. The followers naturally love her so much that they dare not do anything wrong to her.
Although Ren Yingying only has a false reputation within the Sun Moon God Sect and has no actual position, her prestige among the leftist sects on the periphery of the Sun Moon God Sect is extremely high, to the point where she is almost unable to disobey every order.
Some people say this is because Ren Yingying is a kind-hearted person and often speaks and intercedes for leftist sects.
But in the world of Green Forest Demonic Way, kindness will not be respected, but will only be taken advantage of.
The leftist factions respected and feared Ren Yingying, obviously for other reasons.
"Haha, Yingying, long time no see, you've lost a lot of weight." Xiang Wentian smiled and said, "Lvzhuweng, the holy aunt is fat in vain because she doesn't eat. It's your fault."
It was just a joke, but Green Bamboo Man was so frightened that his face turned pale, he knelt on the ground with a pop and shouted in a trembling voice: "Excuse me, Zuo! Excuse me, Zuo!"
"Uncle Xiang, don't scare him." Ren Yingying said with a smile, "If I am really fat in vain, then he will be the one who deserves to die."
As she spoke, she waved her sleeves, and Green Bamboo Man immediately understood and hurriedly retreated.
"Uncle Xiang, please take a seat." Ren Yingying asked Xiang Wentian to take a seat and poured tea for him personally, "I heard that Uncle Xiang was in Jiangnan last month, why did you suddenly come to Jingluo again?"
"I rushed eight hundred miles away and came here specially!" Xiang Wentian said sternly, "Yingying, do you know? Dongfang Bubai, a thief, went down to Blackwood Cliff!"
Bang!
Ren Yingying shook her hand and knocked over the tea cup.
"Is this true?" Ren Yingying was shocked for a long time before asking in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true!" Xiang Wentian nodded slightly, "He and Yang Lianting have both come down, and Shangguan Yun is going with them. Now on Heimu Cliff, Jia Bu is in charge of the affairs of the whole religion, and this little thief Yang Lianting also
I don’t know why he was so angry, but he actually made Tong Baixiong the supervisor, saying that he would thoroughly investigate the disobedient people in the whole religion! He also gave Tong Baixiong the Black Wood Order, allowing him to kill him first and then report."
This is a huge amount of information.
Ren Yingying picked up the tea cup again and poured tea for Xiang Wentian. She used this time to digest the news, and then she spoke again: "Dongfang Bubai has not been able to defeat Heimu Cliff for ten years. Why did he suddenly leave this time?"
thing?"
Xiang Wentian shook his head: "The motive is unknown!"
"Could it be the old maze, some conspiracy?" Ren Yingying said with a frown.
"Probably not." Xiang Wentian shook his head, "The Holy Sect and the righteous sects have been at peace for a long time, and they are at peace with each other. With Dongfang's undefeated temperament, as long as the enemy does not reach Blackwood Cliff, he will not bother to take care of the Holy Sect.
Nowadays, Yang Lianting has created a mess in Shang Xia, but nothing has happened, and all the leftist factions are very honest. There are no enemies who want him to plot."
"Could he have discovered us..." Ren Yingying's eyes flashed.
"No!" Xiang Wentian said firmly, "What we are planning is extremely secretive, and he will definitely not notice it."
"There is always a reason for him to go down the mountain. It can't be for sightseeing, right?" Ren Yingying looked worried, "Could it have something to do with dad?"
Xiang Wentian looked solemn and shook his head.
He wasn't sure about this either.
But even if it was just a rare possibility, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
What's more, he thought this might be an opportunity for him.
"Dongfang Bubai, this thief, has been hiding on the Blackwood Cliff for ten years, and is rarely seen by ordinary people! Even if we want to attack him, we have no chance!" Xiang Wentian sneered, "But this time, he actually came out of Blackwood
Yashang took the initiative to come down, and he only brought Shangguan Yun with him, and Yang Lianting, who had no power to restrain a chicken. Haha, Yingying, don't you think this is a good opportunity for us?"
"Uncle Xiang, you mean..." Ren Yingying opened her eyes wide.
"Take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the Eastern bandits!" Xiang Wentian's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he gritted his teeth and said, "If we can kill Dongfang Bubai this time, the Holy Cult will be leaderless. As long as we provide a little guidance, we can convince everyone to welcome the old leader back to take charge.
Kunqian, bring order to the chaos!"
"Yingying, this is a God-given opportunity for us!"
Ren Yingying's face was moved, her expression was uncertain, and she slowly said after a long time: "Four years ago, I saw Dongfang Bubai once, and he..."
Ren Yingying showed a strange look on her face: "He has become completely different from before. I can feel that his martial arts has reached an incredible level! Uncle Xiang, even if there is no natural barrier of Heimu Cliff and no strict guards, I think
I'm afraid it's not that easy to kill him."
"Of course I know that this old thief will be difficult to deal with due to his nature." Xiang Wentian smiled confidently, "But Yingying, sometimes you don't need to do it yourself to kill someone."
"Kill with a borrowed knife!" Xiang Wentian revealed the answer, "Those decent people want Dongfang Bubai to die more than we do! As long as we reveal the news to them, they will be more anxious than us."
"Congratulations to uncle!" Ren Yingying showed an expression of admiration, "If we can really let Dongfang Bubai and decent people fight to the death, it will be a good thing for us to kill two birds with one stone."
"That's right!" Xiang Wentian stroked his beard and smiled, "I have quietly revealed this news to the Songshan Sect. I believe they will respond soon. Yingying, I came to you because I need your help in this matter.
.”
He looked at Ren Yingying and said seriously: "You have always had prestige among the leftist factions. This time Dongfang Bubai came down from the mountain. Where he went and what happened is a mystery. If you don't understand this, you will feel a little uneasy after all.
.I want you to send people to secretly find out their whereabouts and whereabouts."
"Even if you don't tell Uncle Xiang, I will still do this." Ren Yingying said.
"But we must be careful not to expose the truth!" Xiang Wentian warned, "Once Dongfang Bubai sees the flaw, it will be a disaster for us!"
"Don't worry, uncle, I know how powerful it is." Ren Yingying nodded.
"If this matter comes to pass, who holds the most power in Blackwood Cliff will be the key." Xiang Wentian said, "I plan to rush to Blackwood Cliff immediately and wait for the opportunity to act as soon as there is good news!"
That night, the Songshan sect suddenly released more than ten carrier pigeons, which flew in all directions.
Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, stood on the top of Songshan Mountain, looking at Shaoshi Mountain not far away, his eyes obscured, and he murmured solemnly: "The East is undefeated... Fang Zheng..."
By the time dawn broke the next day, almost all the factions in the world had received Zuo Lengchan's message.
In Wudang Mountain, the leader, Taoist Master Chongxu, settled the affairs within the church, rode on fast horses all the way, and rushed to Mount Song without stopping.
Leaders of the four sects of Huashan, Beiyue Hengshan, Nanyue Hengshan, and Mount Tai also set out on the road one after another, without exception.
