Chapter 297: Journey to the Mountain City, Lingnan Song Clan!
The deal with Shi Zhixuan seems to be Xu Ziyi's sudden idea, but in fact it has been decided for a long time.
Ever since Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang were invited to Dongting Lake to celebrate the little sister's birthday, the little sister has formed a deep friendship with the two girls. It was also because of Master Lu that Shi Qingxuan came to Dongting Lake to celebrate the little sister's birthday.
Between emotion and reason, Xu Ziyi cannot do such a ruthless thing!
With his current martial arts skills, it would not be difficult to take the life of Shi Zhixuan, who was mentally deficient, but killing him would inevitably make the younger sister lose a friend.
In addition, Qian'er was injured by a sneak attack by Yang Xuyan, who worshiped the Ming Zunjiao. Although Xu Ziyi was able to deal with the Ming Zunjiao, the Ming Zunjiao was as deeply rooted in the underground as the famous family.
It is not difficult to kill them, but it will take a long time to find their traces!
Therefore, Xu Ziyi came up with the idea of letting Shi Zhixuan, a member of the Demon Sect, do it for him. In the original work, the Ming Dynasty Master also lost his troops at the hands of Shi Zhixuan and was forced to temporarily withdraw from the Central Plains.
After sending Shi Zhixuan away, Xu Ziyi stood for a long time with his hands behind his hands, looking at the hazy moonlight above his head.
Looking at the so-called masters in the Tang Dynasty, apart from the three supreme masters, the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, who is also a master of the "Huajian Sect", "Butian Pavilion" and even Buddhism, actually has the potential to shatter the void.
It's just that his heart was never as ruthless as that of the "Magic Master" Pang Ban in later generations, so he was never able to take that crucial step. Shi Zhixuan once said that Shi Zhixuan was afraid of Ning Daoqi, but he actually underestimated the evil king Tui.
Shi Zhixuan has never been afraid of anyone in the world, but he only dared not face himself.
Originally, Bi Xiuxin's death would completely liberate Shi Zhixuan from the shackles, but the two of them had the crystallization of love, Shi Qingxuan.
Therefore, there will always be a flaw in Shi Zhixuan's heart. Every time he sees Shi Qingxuan, this extremely proud man will think of Bi Xiuxin.
At this time, he should have let Butian Pavilion's thoughts occupy his body and mind, and from then on he would never be moved by any emotion in the world. However, Shi Qingxuan's existence always touched some past events in his heart that he should have forgotten.
At this time, it was no longer the fight between the Huajian Sect and Butian Pavilion that caused the split in the Evil King's personality. He wanted to be crueler and crueler, but every time he saw Shi Qingxuan, his heart was always touched.
Reached the softest side.
Therefore, Shi Qingxuan has been almost alone since childhood. Shi Zhixuan often visits his daughter from a distance when he is awake, so his guilt for Shi Qingxuan becomes more and more serious in his heart.
The tragedy of Shi Zhixuan stems from his deep affection. The emotional entanglement between him, Zhu Yuyan, and Bi Xiuxin was neither blessed by others nor blocked by the world. It is almost the opposite example of Pang Ban in later generations.
Shi Zhixuan and Pang Ban are two characters who correspond to each other in Datang and Rui Yu Fan Yun. They are both outstanding figures in the Demon Sect, but one is as sad as a string is about to break, and the other is as willful as a god descending to earth——
A sad person will suffer misfortune with his own woman; a wanton person will let his opponent willingly surrender his woman to him.
One is strong and the other is weak, and their encounters are worlds apart, which makes people look at each other and sigh at the ruthlessness of the world and the so-called right way of standing in front and being humble in the back.
From beginning to end, Shi Zhixuan was not defeated at the hands of others, but because he was not ruthless enough. If Shi Qingxuan was killed by You Niaojuan and others in the original work, perhaps we could see another evil king who took a completely different path.
.
This is in line with the fact that in order to practice the "Tao Heart Demon Planting Technique", Pang Ban was actually able to give away the woman he loved without changing his expression!
And this inability to be ruthless is the reason why Shi Zhixuan can never take that step! Lan
In the original work, Xu Ziling was even shown mercy many times because he did not want Shi Qingxuan to live a lonely life. Of course, perhaps when he saw young Xu Ziling and Shi Qingxuan, who looked exactly the same as Bi Xiuxin, it might have reminded him of that time.
scenes of.
In the Tang Dynasty, apart from Shi Zhixuan, only the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que was qualified to take the step of "shattering the void", but both of them were inevitably trapped by love.
If there are no accidents, the two of them should be like Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun in "The Clouds and Rains". With the two of them as opponents, they might be able to take the final step!
It’s just a pity for both of them!
…
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ziyi conveyed to his younger sister and others that he was going to Lingnan to visit the Song clan.
"Brother Xu, do you want to visit the Song clan in person?" Cheng Lingsu frowned slightly and said slowly.
"Yes, I was invited by Song Lu in Luoyang and said that the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que was waiting for me in the Song Family Mountain City!"
The eyes looking at Cheng Lingsu gradually became softer, and Xu Ziyi said slowly.
"Brother Xu, you have just returned to the island and you have to travel far away soon?" Zhao Min couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction after hearing this.
Although Xiao Zhao on the side did not speak, his eyes were obviously disappointed.
"Little sister, Minmin, Zhao'er, I can't accompany you this time. After the world is peaceful, I will take you to travel around the world!"
Realizing that he owed the three women too much, Xu Ziyi could only persuade him slowly.
Today's Tang Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is turbulent secretly.
Cihang Jingzhai and Fu Cailin were defeated by him last time, but their tibias were not injured. In addition, there was unrest in the martial arts world outside the territory, so naturally Xu Ziyi could not bring the three of them with him on this trip.
It should be noted that last time in Luoyang, Xu Ziyi personally killed Tuli, the young Khan of the Eastern Turks, known as the "tornado", and Fu Qian, the son of King Fu Yun of Tuyuhun.
These two people had high status in the grasslands and outside the territory. Since they both died together in their own hands, it was inevitable that the East Turks and Tuyuhun would not come to take revenge.
Coupled with Qian'er's defeat of the apprentice of "Martial Master" Bi Xuan, and the dispute between her pure Yang inner strength and Bi Xuan's "Yang Yang Dafa", these forces will inevitably join forces to make trouble for herself under the coordination of Cihang Jingzhai!
Therefore, the attitude of the Song clan far away in Lingnan became extremely important. Others may not know the relationship between the Song clan and Cihang Jingzhai, but Xu Ziyi knew it.
If he hadn't gone there early, when the kind and quiet master Fan Qinghui took action, he would probably be the emperor on all sides of this island.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Ziyi chose to let Shi Zhixuan go.
Xu Ziyi suddenly said: "Qian'er, go to Zhenren Zhang personally and invite Mr. Song's brother and sister to come!"
Now that he has decided to go to Lingnan, Xu Ziyi naturally has to help Song Shidao and his sister resolve their past conflicts with Song Que.
…
When they learned that Xu Ziyi was about to travel to visit his father, brothers and sisters Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi agreed to go with him without any hesitation.
Today's Xu Ziyi's reputation can be said to be unknown to everyone in the world. He has been vaguely regarded as one of the four great masters in the world. His every move will naturally affect the movements of all parties.
Song Shidao, the brother and sister, knew their father's character well, and were afraid that they would fight if they disagreed. Due to these considerations, even though they were quite afraid of Song Que, they had no choice but to embark on their return journey.
Song Que has been known as the "Heavenly Sword" in Lingnan for many years. Since defeating "Domineering" Yue Shan, the number one master of swordsmanship at that time, decades ago, he has never been defeated. In fact, no one in the world has rushed to him for twenty years.
He challenged, which shows how powerful he is!
And precisely because they knew Song Que's character and feared that one of them would be injured if they fought, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi set out on their way home without hesitation.
Originally, Master Zhang wanted to visit the "Heavenly Sword" who had dominated Lingnan for many years, but due to the current situation in the world, he had to stay in Dongting Lake to prevent the invasion of powerful enemies.
Therefore, this group of people consisted of Xu Ziyi and his party of five. In addition to Xu Ziyi and Song Shidao, the five people included Ji Qian and Shi Potian.
As two of his disciples, Xu Ziyi naturally had great expectations for them.
Ji Qian's practice of "Transforming Gong" has reached its bottleneck. If she wants to complement good and evil, she will naturally need various opportunities, and this trip to Lingnan is an opportunity.
Although Shi Potian has deep internal strength, he rarely fights against enemies. He has a pure mind, and with this kind of physical protection, he may be able to protect himself in the knight guild.
But in the Tang Dynasty, his overly pure nature was undoubtedly the biggest weakness. In order to increase his knowledge, Xu Ziyi also brought him along on this trip.
Xu Ziyi and his party of five stood on the giant boat. The Song family's mountain city was far away in the depths of Lingnan. If they wanted to reach it as quickly as possible, they had to reach Yulin County by water.
Therefore, Song Shidao, who was the right envoy of the Sun and Moon God Sect, dispatched one of the 25 giant boats of the Sun and Moon God Sect for them to travel to Lingnan.
Song Shidao's cultivation was actually not weak, and he became a disciple of Master Zhang. After receiving his guidance, he also learned Wudang's superb swordsmanship, as well as Master Zhang's "Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu".
This inner skill was originally created by Zhang Sanfeng by taking the essence of Wudang Nine Yang Gong and tempering it. It is even better than Wudang Nine Yang Gong. After getting the entire "Nine Yang Manual" from Xu Ziyi, he absorbed its essence and created it.
He developed an internal skill.
Although Song Shidao today is far inferior to Xu Ziyi, he is on par with Ji Qian. As for Shi Potian...
The gap in cultivation level between him and this good disciple is still obvious!
The giant boat went all the way south. With favorable winds and smooth currents, it arrived in the south of the Yangtze River where the two heroes were separatist in just three days. The two brothers were Li Zitong, who occupied Jiangdu, and Shen Xingfa. Lan, who was on the separatist side.
There were originally various rebel armies in the south of the Yangtze River, but the largest force was undoubtedly Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, as well as Li Zitong and Shen Xingfa.
However, with the disappearance of Du Fuwei and the mysterious disappearance of Fu Gongyou, the Jianghuai Army without a leader was captured and destroyed by Li Zitong and Shen Xingfa.
In addition, with Lin Shihong's overwhelming power, he could no longer use his army against the two of them, so these two forces have survived to this day.
Seeing the flag of the Sun-Moon God Sect hanging high on the giant boat, the two forces along the way tacitly agreed to pretend they didn't see it. The Sun-Moon God Sect is now too powerful, and there is a hint of latecomers taking over.
Neither Li Zitong nor Shen Xingfa could afford to offend the Sun and Moon God Sect.
They are such a separatist force and have long known that they do not have the strength to stabilize the Central Plains. Now they are just maintaining their own foundation so that they can sell it at a price. When the winner is decided in the north, they will naturally give up.
There was a loud "boom", and Shi Potian blasted a hole in the river with his palm. In an instant, the fish in the river fell on the giant boat like rain.
Seeing this scene, Song Shidao couldn't help but shake his head, and Ji Qian couldn't help but look sideways at this, obviously marveling at Shi Potian's internal skills.
"There are so many fish, it looks like we will be in luck again soon!"
Seeing Shi Potian as cheerful as a child, picking up the fish exploded by his palm on the deck, Song Yuzhi couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
Hearing this, Ji Qian and Song Shidao were both excited. They must know that Shi Potian not only has profound internal energy, but also has excellent cooking skills.
Along the way, the three of them often tasted his craftsmanship. After seeing him catch so many fish, they naturally became greedy.
…
A few days later, Xu Ziyi and his party of five people also arrived in Yulin County. In the morning light, they were surrounded by strange peaks and rugged mountains. As if they had been cut by an axe, the layers of rocks were thickly green, and the landscapes emerged one after another.
Although Ji Qian and Shi Potian were amazed by what they saw, they also understood that if they had not been guided by Song Shidao, they would not be able to quickly find the fastest shortcut to the Song Family Mountain City.
Just because it is difficult to find a way to the world among these mountains and mountains.
Xu Ziyi and his party originally walked along the north bank of Yushui towards the west, but they didn't know that mountains and rivers were blocking the way. They wanted to take a detour and continue moving forward. After going round and round, they came to this place where there was no village in front and no people behind.
Fortunately, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi had already anticipated this, and the group climbed to a peak.
This peak towers majestically above the mountains. Halfway through, it is already shrouded in clouds and mist, with streams intertwining among strange rocks and trees. When we reach the top of the peak, we look west and see a village more than ten miles down, looming in the forest-covered landscape.
Between the mountains, the gates of the houses are connected by winding paths, and the terraces are stacked on top of each other with sparkling water. In the autumn and winter, the forest leaves are golden, and surrounded by mountains and rivers, it feels quite isolated and independent, and I don’t know where in the world it is.
The taste of the world.
"found it!"
Seeing this village, Song Shidao couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is one of the outposts of our Song Family Mountain City. My brother and I have notified Uncle Lu to send someone to greet us again before our trip. With their guidance, we will arrive at the mountain city in no time!"
Perhaps understanding everyone's confusion, Song Yuzhi explained for his brother.
Everyone then headed towards the village under the mountain peak. The closer they got to the village, the more they felt that the scenery of this place was charming, quiet and strange.
A river flows from the northwest, meanders through the center of the village, and flows to the southeast. Groups of four to six long houses made of wooden tiles gather together to form the village, scattered on both sides of the river bank. Those located on the waterside or slopes,
Wooden pillars will be used as the foundation at the bottom to support the roof, forming a stilt look, which is very distinctive.
Small villages may have more than a dozen households, while larger ones may consist of hundreds of households. They may be hidden among trees or built high on cliffs, with paths crisscrossing them.
Before entering the village, dogs barked.
A group of more than ten slang women were sitting around the entrance of the village, chatting and embroidering. When they saw a stranger coming, they all looked wary.
They saw that there were only women in the village and no men. It was obvious that the young and strong men had gone out to hunt at this time. However, when they saw the brothers Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi, their vigilance instantly dissipated in their eyes.
Following someone's report, not long after, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the village.
"Uncle Lu!"
Seeing this figure appear, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi couldn't help but said in surprise at the same time.
