The Emei Sect is one of the eight major sects in the world.
Its origin can even be traced back to the ancient Spring and Autumn Period. "Wuyue Spring and Autumn" records: There was a strange man in Emei named Situ Xuankong, nicknamed Lingdongzi. He observed the movements of white apes in Emei, understood the nature of heaven and earth, and entered the realm of the heaven and earth. , founded the White Ape Immortal Sword, and because Situ Xuankong was so good at wearing white clothes, his disciples called him the "White Ape Patriarch"
This was the origin of the Emei Sect. However, during the war between Ji Han and Cao Wei at the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the essence of the Emei Sect's martial arts and swordsmanship was largely lost.
Until the end of the former Tang Dynasty, the Emei sect produced two generations of peerless masters, Zen Master Baiyun and Taoist Master Baimei. The two combined their unique Buddhist and Taoist skills to push the Emei sect's martial arts to the highest peak, far opposite Shaolin in the south and north.
After that, although the Emei Sect inevitably fell into decline, it did not fall out of one of the eight major sects.
Until the last battle with the Blood River Evil Sect, all the older masters of the Emei Sect had withered away, leading to the loss of countless martial arts inheritances.
Later, only Dugu Yihe, the master of the Dongxuan Realm who led the art caster halfway, was left, and he was indeed in decline.
Fortunately, Dugu Yihe's Seven, Seven and Forty-nine Double Killing Styles with Swords are still famous in Shu.
The relationship between Emei and Wudang is also friendly, and Emei has always been at the end of the eight major sects.
That is to say, Miejie accidentally obtained the completed version of the Nine Yin Manual, which allowed Emei to continue the inheritance that was about to be cut off.
But even if Emei is so weak, its power is still not something that ordinary Jianghu sects dare to offend.
But this group of mysterious people actually arrested Jingxuan, the eldest monk in Emei, and Ji Xiaofu, the most popular among the lay disciples...
Moreover, Ji Xiaofu is also the disciple-in-law of Wudang's Zhang Laodao. This offended the two major sects. The person behind this must have a big conspiracy.
Elite detectives from Yangzhou Liumen Branch led by Yang Guo, Guo Jing and Zhao Xiang followed Little Master Anhui to the bamboo forest where the incident occurred.
"This is where we were attacked!"
Yang Guo looked at the location of the bamboo forest. It was on the edge of the river, about ten miles away from the place where he rescued her.
Zhao Xiang gently raised his hand towards his detectives, and the detectives from Yangzhou Liumen Branch dispersed around at the signal, looking for clues.
Yang Guo continued to ask the little master Anhui.
"Little Master, I wonder if you still remember the situation at that time?"
"Remember, I remember everything!" Although An Hui is good at martial arts, she is still young and innocent.
"At that time, I came with Master."
"Master Jingxuan?!"
"Yes!" An Hui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "At that time, Master received a signal for help from Uncle Ji, so he took us out immediately.
We chased the signal all the way until we arrived here..."
"Then what?!" Yang Guo was a little speechless. This little nun spoke slowly and in paragraphs, which made people anxious.
"We just arrived here and while we were waiting for Uncle Ji, the group of men in black who made a sneak attack appeared."
"In broad daylight, wearing black clothes..." Yang Guo couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Yes, they were still wearing night clothes in broad daylight, and we discovered them as soon as they appeared..." Little nun An Hui also complained about this matter, "But they are indeed masters, and my master's martial arts is amazing..."
The little nun paused again and said to Yang Guo, "Of course, I'm not as good as you."
"Where! Where! Master is so flattering!"
"No..., your martial arts is just better than my master! I didn't lie. Monks can't lie, otherwise I will swallow a thousand needles..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Yang Guo interrupted An Hui. If he hadn't interrupted, the little nun would have continued to prove that he didn't speak. "Little Master, you better get to the point!"
"Oh! Yes! Then there were three men in black who attacked my master. It seemed that they were all masters of Yuan Hua Realm! With the three of them joining forces, my master was no match. They could have been attacked by a hundred people. My master I can’t stand it anymore!”
"Do you still remember what martial arts these three people used?!"
An Hui frowned and recalled, "I was also surrounded by people at that time. I couldn't see very clearly. One of the big men was wearing boxing gloves and using fist and palm skills. It seemed to be the Shaolin Arhat Fist and the Big Monument Slammer. .
There is also one who uses a sword, which seems to be the Wudang Jiugong Chain Sword..."
"..." Yang Guo said he had a headache. Arhat Fist and Skanda Palm are Shaolin's martial arts. However, this martial arts is the most basic among the seventy-two stunts. Shaolin's lay disciples can also practice it, and the Shaolin Temple allows it. They pass it on to their disciples.
There are at least 100,000 warriors who know Luohan Quan in the world, and there are various variations that are widely spread.
This is also the saying that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin, and half of it is because of this set of Arhat Fist.
Not to mention the monument-smasher, this powerful martial art has as many practitioners as Luohan Fist, and there are many versions.
As for the Jiugong Chain Sword, it is a simple martial art of Wudang, and it is a martial art that everyone in Wudang can practice and even pass on to their descendants.
Although it is not as bad as Luohan Quan and Big Monument Slammer, it is also a common martial art in the world.
I originally wanted to use my martial arts skills to deduce the identity of these mysterious people, but now it seems there is no chance.
Moreover, they were able to attack Master Jingxuan without revealing their martial arts skills, using only martial arts such as Luohan Fist and Jiugong Chain Sword. The martial arts of these people were definitely extraordinary.
"Didn't you just say there were three people? What kind of martial arts did the other one use?"
Yang Guo didn't have much hope for the remaining one. Since they chose to hide their identities, they would naturally not use martial arts that would reveal their identities.
Master An Hui tilted her head and recalled, "The remaining one is the shortest among the three...well...maybe about the same height as me..."
"Huh?!" Yang Guo looked at An Hui, who was more than six feet tall, so the last person was indeed not tall!
"Then what kind of martial arts did the last person use?"
Yang Guo originally didn't expect to get any answers, but An Hui's performance was unexpected.
"This..., this person's martial arts and weapons are a bit weird, I can't help it." An Hui's words cheered up Yang Guo.
The ones who are most afraid of are those with mediocre martial arts skills and bad reputations. There's no way to start.
On the contrary, these people with unique weapons and martial arts skills are not popular, but their characteristics are obvious. Based on the intelligence of Dali Temple's Guangwen Department, some traces should be found.
"Do you still remember the appearance of that man's weapons and the methods of his martial arts?!"
An Hui recalled it carefully, then took out the sword and held it with both hands.
"ha!"
"Hey!"
"ah!"
Master An Hui made two simple gestures, but Yang Guo could see a black line on his head. The gestures were the same as those without gestures. They were just a few simple vertical cracks and horizontal slashes, and nothing could be seen.
"What does the knife he uses look like?" Yang Guo planned to start with weapons.
An Hui hesitated and couldn't explain why. The man used a knife, but she didn't know how to describe the knife. It was different from the knives she usually saw.
But Anhui Jianghu is not very experienced and doesn’t know how to describe it.
"Little Master Tai, if you think about it carefully, what other characteristics does this short man have and which sect his internal strength comes from."
An Hui shook her head, "I'm not close to them, so I don't know whose inner strength and mental method it is... Oh... that's right!"
An Hui suddenly remembered something, "When the man drew his sword, he seemed to shout loudly, "Ba or something..."
"What?!" Yang Guo asked.
"Uh...I can't remember exactly!"
"..."
Straight moves, two-handed swordsmanship, dominance...Which martial arts school in the Central Plains is this? !
While Yang Guo was deep in thought, a policeman on the side made a discovery.
"General Yang, Capt. Zhao, look!" He put on whale skin gloves and held up half of a slightly withered bamboo leaf.
"I discovered it too!"
"I have one here too..."
"I still have half of the bamboo that was chopped off."
Zhao Xiang frowned slightly when he saw this, "This person's martial arts is very aggressive. When he drew his sword, the remaining sword energy cut the fallen leaf in two. However, this move was too straight. "
The "straight" here refers to the strength of the mover.
Generally speaking, martial arts emphasizes that after a move is executed, there will be changes in the moves. However, from the traces found, it can be seen that when this person makes a move, he clearly goes all out and leaves no room for retreat.
Yang Guo put on his gloves and took over the half-cut bamboo.
Yes! This is not a common martial arts method in the Central Plains martial arts!
Yang Guo suddenly said to a policeman beside him, "Can you please get me a pen and paper?"
Soon, the six-door policeman on the side took out charcoal pencils and straw-yellow paper.
Yang Guo took the pen and paper and started drawing on the paper.
After a few breaths, he handed the paper to An Hui, "Master, look, that man in black is using such a sword?!"
An Hui took the paper and almost jumped up, "Yes! It's such a knife, how did you know?!"
Yang Guo sneered when he heard this, "Is the person in black shouting loudly the 'Bageya Deer'?"
"Baga, Yalu?!..." Yang Guo's words stimulated An Hui's latent memory, "Yes, that's what he shouted at that time!"
Not only Yang Guo, but also Guo Jing and Zhao Xiang already knew this.
"I didn't expect that Japanese pirates would be involved in this matter!"
In fact, the characteristics of this man in black are very obvious, and can be seen almost at a glance in the Southeast Wulin.
But Anhui is a disciple of Emei and is still young. Even when she travels around the world, she is in Yizhou, in the middle of Sichuan. This is her first time in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally she doesn't know about Japanese pirates.
"But why do the Japanese pirates deal with people from the Emei sect!?"
Although Japanese pirates are now frequently attacking the southeastern coast, they are now in considerable trouble themselves.
Their actions have angered the Qinglian Sword Immortal. In the past two months, Li Taibai has picked out five islands where Japanese pirates are entrenched. Even the sea water next to these islands can be vaguely bloody.
Do they think Li Taibai is not enough? ! How many more do you want to provoke? !
Dugu Yihe's martial arts is not weak in the Dongxuan Realm, and if he attacks Emei, Wudang will definitely not be able to sit idly by.
Qingxu, Ziyang, Mu Daoren, and Yang Qingyuan.
No matter who comes, they will be difficult to deal with!
"Japanese martial arts have obvious characteristics. Judging from the dictation of the young master and the traces on the scene, this third person should be a master from Japan." Yang Guo then changed the subject, "By the way, those people arrested at the beginning were not found out. What’s coming?!”
Zhao Xiang nodded awkwardly, "Those people are just pawns, desperadoes who were bribed. I don't know the details, they just use money to do things?!"
"..."
Those who use money to surround and kill the Emei sect are indeed desperadoes! Don't know how much money was paid?
Yang Guo immediately remembered the situation when he rescued Ke Zhen'e and Guo Fu. Those people were obviously taking them eastward along the river. In addition, the patrolling troops also discovered an unmanned ship.
A ship was prepared on the river near the mouth of the sea. It was obvious where these people were going to flee...
"Captain Zhao, I will continue to lead people to investigate eastward. You immediately send someone with my order to inform the Taihu Navy and order them to send troops immediately."
Yang Guo had a hunch that there might be some connection between the attack on Emei and the Japanese pirates' attacks on the southeast coast.
…
----------------------------------------
In Yangzhou City.
In a quiet courtyard.
An old man with a clear and elegant face was listening to the report of his subordinates, "So, that little nun has already led six people to the scene."
"..."
The person who answered below was a little uneasy.
In this matter, they really messed up. Five Yuan Hua realms acted together, and the little nun actually took the opportunity to run away!
The Emei sect is not good at light kung fu, but they didn't expect that little girl to be so good at running. They chased her for more than ten miles before catching up with her.
Then there was bad luck, first I met Ke Zhen E and Guo Fu, and later I met Yang Guo.
"Please rest assured, sir. Those who were arrested are all desperadoes who spent a lot of money to find us. They don't know our details."
After hearing this, the old man shook his head, "You don't understand. This Zhao Xiang is nothing, but Yang Guo is a disciple of Yang Qingyuan and the governor of Yangzhou, so he is a big trouble."
"Then why don't I send someone to kill him!" When the person below spoke, his eyes were filled with fierceness.
"Haha, Yang Maogong himself is a brave general on the battlefield. His opponents are rare in the Yuanhua Realm. His uncle Guo Jing even defeated the Demon Xiang Sect Master Zhao Deyan and Tianjun Xi Ying one against two in Jinyang. They are not easy people."
"This..." The person below was speechless.
"Don't worry too much. I took precautions when I was planning. I told our people not to reveal their martial arts skills when taking action. In addition, I also paid for the masters among the Japanese Japanese. It was just for today's use. "
The old man poured out all the tea that had been brewed on the table and poured in the newly boiled spring water again.
"The biggest clue Yang Guo and the others can find is just the Japanese pirates. As for the girls from the Emei Sect, just send them to see the Buddha in a few days!"
When the people below heard this, they were still full of anger, "They are all idiots from the Tang Sect. Wudang Yin Liting found out the clues, and now they want to involve us in helping them clean up their troubles..."
"It's useless to complain. We are all our own people. You can go down and do things! I still want to continue drinking tea!"
Compared to the anger of the people below, the old man was obviously very calm.
Seeing what Shangfeng said, the visitor felt unwilling but had no choice but to order him to retreat.
