When the name of the "Magic Gun" spread throughout the world, Su Yi once again used the "imitation makeup technique" to disguise himself and his group of five as an escort team, and swaggered back along the official road.
What he and Dongfang Bubai expected was correct. Although Zuo Lengchan suffered heavy losses, he expected that Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi would be at their weakest at this time. If he could seize the opportunity to kill these two people, they would surely be defeated forever.
future trouble.
And if it succeeds, the huge losses caused this time can also be made up for.
Zuo Lengchan's movements were extremely fast. As the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, he had a wide range of friends and confidants everywhere in the world.
He recruited troops nearby in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and soon gathered more than a dozen masters to fight towards Qiantang.
He met Su Yi's "escort" team, but unfortunately a group of more than ten riders passed by without even taking a second look at Su Yi and the others.
Naturally, they missed him, and then immediately dispersed and looked back. During this period, they met Su Yi again, but they seemed to be blind and did not recognize the person on the other side.
In fact, it's not his fault. How could he have thought that there was such a "makeover" disguise technique in the world?
Su Yi and the other five people had completely changed their faces, and even used their clothes to change their body shapes. It was surprising that Zuo Lengchan could recognize them.
Zuo Lengchan wanted to kill Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi, so why didn't Su Yi want to kill him to avoid future troubles?
But when Dongfang Bubai was injured and couldn't take action, and he couldn't easily use his internal strength, he had little chance of winning if he took action forcefully.
Not to mention that Zuo Lengchan had gathered so many masters from nowhere. After much thought, Su Yi decided to endure it.
Zuo Lengchan was not the only one who wanted to take the opportunity to kill Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai.
When Su Yi was rushing on the official road, he often encountered some Taoists riding by and some Taoist people in strange clothes. He didn't know where these people came from, causing people to come and go on the official road.
So lively.
These people were obviously looking for someone. They checked Su Yi back and forth no less than ten times, but no one found any clues.
Faced with this situation, Su Yi did nothing. He just went on his way step by step every day, without any rush, neither too fast nor too slow, without any changes or abnormalities.
But he knew that the stable life would not last long.
There are only so many travelers on the official road from Qiantang to Heimu Cliff. After these people search everywhere to no avail, even if they use the stupidest method to filter, sooner or later they will be selected among the five of them.
This is also true. People from all walks of life who wanted to find Su Yi and his party searched all the land and water routes from Qiantang to the north, and even deviated from the official road and went to nearby market towns and villages, but failed to do so, so they began to
His eyes returned to some people he had already looked for but had been ignored by them.
Although Su Yi expected this result, he still didn't worry much.
Because he is not a one-man gang, there is a behemoth standing behind him - the Sun and Moon God Sect.
As early as when Su Yi left Meizhuang in West Lake, he sent a letter to Heimuya, with the order of the general manager, instructing Jia Bu, who was temporarily in charge of the power, and Tong Baixiong, the temporary supervisor appointed by him, to lead the majority of the troops.
The troops and horses went all the way to Lu Di and all the way to central Henan, assuming a posture of launching a massive attack on the righteous factions and officially starting a war.
Under the shock of such force, how could Zuo Lengchan, Shaolin, and Wudang dare to search for the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi?
They had to rush back to prevent their lair from being taken away.
Ten days after the battle at Meizhuang, Zuo Lengchan was the first to give up the search for Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts. He withdrew first with more than ten masters he had recruited.
The failure of the battle at Meizhuang dealt a heavy blow to Zuo Lengchan's prestige.
When he escaped from Meizhuang, Fang Zheng broke his arm. He originally thought that Fang Zheng would be broken in Meizhuang, so he planned to put all the blame on Fang Zheng and have it removed himself.
But he didn't expect that the old monk actually escaped alive and revealed the inside story of that battle to the outside world before he did.
Naturally, no one suspected that what the Shaolin abbot said was false. At this time, Zuo Lengchan jumped out and argued with Fang Zheng. Not only would it not have the effect of shirking the blame, but it would also further question his character, so he
Can only give up.
As a result, Zuo Lengchan's plan to dump the blame was shattered.
Since we can't shirk the blame, we can only make up for it.
That's why Zuo Lengchan spared no effort in the past ten days to search for the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi, hoping to "pick up the slack" and kill Dongfang Bubai to make up for his mistakes.
But now, seeing the large army of Sun Moon God Sect getting closer and closer to Songshan Mountain, and he and a dozen masters running around every day, but they can't even touch the shadow of Dongfang Bubai, Zuo Lengchan realized with disappointment
At this point, my wish to remedy the situation will also come to nothing.
In fact, among the Wuyue Sword Sect, only the Taishan Sect is busy fighting for power and fleeing. It has not expressed its stance on the death of Taoist Tianmen and Taoist Tiansong. The other sects have expressed their hatred and indignation towards the Demon Sect.
As well as dissatisfaction and doubts about his leftist leader.
As the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, you personally led the team and led such a large operation, but in the end, almost the entire army was destroyed!
Except for you, Zuo Lengchan, all the leaders of our other four sects died in this battle. Who will bear this responsibility?
Master Dingjing of Hengshan Mountain in the north and Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan Mountain in the south have publicly expressed doubts about Zuo Lengchan and claimed that this matter will be pursued to the end and will never let it go.
Ning Zhongze of the Huashan sect was also busy attending to the funeral of his late husband and did not say much. However, according to Zuo Lengchan's understanding, privately Ning Zhongze hated him deeply, even more than the demon sect.
Ning Zhongze's original words to his disciples were: "The battle between good and evil is a matter of life and death. No matter who wins, no one can blame anyone else. But the incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies. Zuo Lengchan gathered the strongest forces of the righteous sects to conquer the undefeated Dongfang.
, but was defeated miserably by others. The leaders of the four major sects were eliminated in one battle. Such a horrific tragedy has been rare since ancient times. Is this how Zuo Lengchan became the leader of the alliance? How can he be the leader of the alliance? "
Zuo Lengchan had murderous intentions towards Ning Zhongze who said these words. He originally planned to let this woman live, but now he found out that this woman actually hated him, so he couldn't keep her.
But this is a story for another day. Now Zuo Lengchan has to give up the search and hunt for Dongfang Bubai and return to Songshan to deal with the threat of a large-scale invasion by the demon sect.
He once again issued an order from the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, hoping to gather all the sects and sects to Songshan to discuss the fight against the demon sect, and also invited the Shaolin and Wudang sects.
In fact, long before Zuo Lengchan withdrew, the Taoist priests who were searching for Su Yi and others had long since disappeared.
The origins of these Taoist priests are obvious - besides Wudang Chongxu, who else can command the Taoist people in the world?
Unlike Zuo Lengchan, Taoist Chongxu had actually locked onto the whereabouts of Su Yi and his group of five, but gave up the pursuit in the end.
After Taoist Chongxu escaped from Meizhuang that day, he deeply felt that he and Fang Zheng had made a big mistake, that is, they underestimated Dongfang Bubai and misjudged Yang Lianting!
Dongfang Bubai's martial arts is unpredictable, Yang Lianting is cunning and has learned the evil skill "Star Absorbing Technique". Who can beat the combination of these two?
Is Zuo Lengchan a rival?
Absolutely not!
If Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting have the ambition to take over the world of martial arts, it will be a disaster!
Would they be so ambitious?
Hard to say!
Dongfang Bubai had been out of action for twelve years, and Chongxu and Fang Zheng once thought that Zuo Lengchan was unstoppable, and even planned to find another opponent for Zuo Lengchan.
But what's the result?
As soon as Dongfang Bubai came down from the mountain, eight masters of the righteous martial arts were killed, including four masters.
How could such Dongfang Bubai still regard him as a useless being?
Not to mention that now there is "Magic Spear" Yang Lianting showing off his talents. These two are a perfect match. Who can beat the upright one?
Chongxu seemed to see a huge wave of blood rushing up Wudang Mountain. He even had to correct this mistake, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So after escaping from Meizhuang, he first received the Fang Zheng who also "escaped from death". He was immediately ecstatic and felt that "I am not alone", completely forgetting the scene where he left Fang Zheng and escaped alone.
Fang Zheng didn't mention this incident, and he didn't even care about his broken arm. He felt that he was just a piece of shit that would be thrown away sooner or later, so why should he care?
However, Fang Zheng has a different view on the worry about Chongxu.
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Sooner or later Dongfang Invincible and Yang Lianting will fight each other." Fang Zheng made this judgment, "Just like Ren Woxing and Dongfang Invincible back then, only one of them can exist."
"Great monk, although we misjudged Yang Lianting, his relationship with Dongfang Bubai should be good." Chongxu expressed doubts, "If they have that kind of relationship, they will only work together and deal with the outside world."
"Since ancient times, fame and fortune have moved people's hearts," Fang Zheng said lightly, "let alone enemies, even father and son would turn against each other. Before, Yang Lianting had no martial arts skills and was mediocre and incompetent, so he naturally did not pose a threat to Dongfang Bubai. But now, he has
He can be on an equal footing with Dongfang Bubai. As long as one of them is wary and hostile to the other, the struggle between them will be inevitable and uncontrollable, and one of them will have to fall."
"I think you take it for granted, don't you?" Chongxu frowned, "Without Dongfang Bubai's support and help, Yang Lianting would never have been able to learn the star-absorbing technique of letting me do it, and absorb his lifelong skills. Dongfang Bubai
The fact that he was defeated by me in the past is enough to prove that he is not a fool."
"As long as he is wary of Yang Lianting, he will never be stupid enough to turn his lover into an enemy."
"Amitabha, no matter how powerful Dongfang Bubai's martial arts is, he is still a mortal, how can he break through the barriers of knowledge and vision?" Fang Zhengdao said, "As the saying goes, at this moment, at that moment, even if Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting are connected and have no suspicion, how can they
Knowing that there will be no gaps in the future?"
Chongxu pondered slightly, and his brows widened: "You are right, great monk, but that is all a matter for the future. Now Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting are both seriously injured. If we can take the opportunity to get rid of one of them, the situation in this world will be different."
It is clearer, at least for you and me, that there is still peace for twenty years."
"I plan to hunt down Dongfang Bubai, great monk. Let's all use our own hands and work together! You have Shaolin lay disciples all over the world, so you can't be lazy."
Fang Zhengdao: "I have no excuse for self-blame. It's just that the Demon Cult invaded in a large scale. This matter is not trivial. I have to rush back to Shaoshi Mountain to take charge of the overall situation. I can't stay here with you."
"Even if you want to stay, I don't dare to keep you." Chongxu sighed, "Great monk, although you have an open-minded Zen mind, it is still a pain in your hand. Go back and recuperate. I'll leave the matters here to you.
I'm here, you just need to let your lay disciples listen to my orders."
Fang Zhengdao: "On the way back, I will ask them to help you find out the news."
After Fang Zheng left, Chongxu immediately called on Xuanmen Taoists from all over the country to search for the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai.
Fang Zheng did not break his promise and immediately called on Shaolin Temple's lay disciples in Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places to search for him.
The two leading martial arts sects have extraordinary backgrounds. Now, one overtly and the other covertly, they join forces to find the person, and the efficiency is naturally extraordinary.
Soon they discovered the anomaly of Su Yi and his party pretending to be escorts, and confirmed that there was something wrong with this group of five people.
Then, through the comparison of their traveling route and the number of people, they were identified as a huge suspect.
Although the appearance of the five people is completely different from that of Dongfang Bubai and others, eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining one may be impossible, and it may very well be the final fact.
Chongxu was overjoyed after locking the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi. He immediately gathered his men and planned to organize an ambush and sneak attack.
But that's when something went wrong.
The lay disciples of Shaolin Temple will no longer participate!
They didn't listen to Chongxu's command at all. After finding Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts, they immediately chose to quit without hesitation.
No matter whether you try to rush into the sky for righteousness or move for profit, it will be useless.
Chongxu realized something was wrong and immediately sent three flying pigeon letters to Fang Zheng, hoping to get Shaolin's support.
But all three letters were lost in the sea, with no news at all.
After calmly thinking about the ins and outs of this matter, Chongxu understood one thing, that is, Fang Zheng had no intention of letting the Shaolin Temple participate in the pursuit of Dongfang Bubai again.
Chongxu didn't know the reason, but without even thinking about it, he ordered all his people to withdraw. He left Jiangnan without hesitation and returned to Wudang Mountain.
Back then, the Demon Cult broke into the gate of Wudang Mountain twice and took away the True Martial Sword and the "Tai Chi Sutra". It can be said that there were countless casualties, ranging from the head elders to the disciples and servants.
But why has the Wudang Clan not only not declined over the decades, but has remained one of the leading figures in the martial arts world and remains standing?
Wudang's reputation and heritage are certainly one of the reasons, but there is another very important reason - no dispute!
The so-called "not fighting" does not mean lying down, but "fighting without fighting".
Wudang does not strive to be the best in the world, but just builds good relationships, hides behind the Shaolin Temple, and follows suit.
Wudang absolutely supports what Shaolin Temple wants to do.
Wudang will never participate in anything that Shaolin Temple does not do.
Let Shaolin be the best in the world, and let Wudang be the second in the world, or even the third in the world, that would be great.
