Luokong Mountain, Gua Hengslope is lost in the forest. Yi Xiaoming and Peng Yun have returned to the valley. In the dense bamboo forest in the valley, orchids grow and Ophiopogon japonicus holds white flowers. A stream flows through the bamboo forest and comes out of the valley mouth.
The ups and downs of the piano sound came from the bamboo forest, melodious and continuous. The two walked along the bluestone path to an elegant bamboo forest house, and stood outside the bead-curtain door. They did not dare to go in because their shoes were dirty, and they bowed upright and stood on the stone floor at the door.
They were waiting for the old man inside to finish the song. Master loves cleanliness very much, and he is also a person who likes elegance. He also hates others disturbing his piano playing.
Naturally, the two of them did not dare to overstep their bounds. The two of them bowed and knelt on one knee at the door, not daring to say a word. Even their breathing was even, almost quiet.
There is a bead curtain on the door of the Yashe, and there is a carved bamboo screen inside. There are several hollow counters between the bead curtain and the screen, with flower pots of various shapes on them, and various rare orchids are planted in them. Only the top of the screen in the inner hall can be seen. The green smoke is curling up, obviously the incense burner is burning incense.
It's just that there is a screen, and the player inside is not visible. The sound of the piano is melodious and turns sharp, sometimes like the breeze blowing on your face, or like the downpour of heavy rain.
Yi Xiaoming and Peng Yun waited at the door for a full two-quarters of an hour before the music inside slowly stopped. They did not go inside the house, but stood at the door and answered.
The two of them dare not lie about their master's piano skills. Yi Xiaoming travels around the world, is bohemian, likes to look for flowers and ask willows, and has listened to countless good songs. He really does not dare to compliment his master's piano skills and only frowns slightly. After all, his master's temper is... He knows it.
After the sound of the piano stopped, a rich and magnetic old man's voice came from the room: "Why are there only two people back?"
"Back to Master, the senior brother was still taken away." Yi Xiaoming frowned and clasped his fists and replied to the inner room: "This time it's not from the Lu Sect, it's from the Chonghua Sect of the Baoding Mountain Sword Sect, wearing a mask , said he was an ugly-faced elder. But Xiao Jin said that the ugly-faced elder of Chonghua Sect was not capable of arresting the senior brother in front of my sister-in-law and I. He might be from the Lu Sect. I, Li Zong, Liluo, and Sister-in-law, the three of us chased that person for more than ten miles but failed to catch up with him. His internal strength and lightness skills are both excellent. We lost him last night and had no choice but to come back and ask the master for advice." The old man in the room had no intention of coming out to meet the two. He just snorted coldly and cursed: "It's really interesting to fight in this world! None of the major forces is a fuel-efficient lamp. Has your junior sister returned to Fang Zhoushan?"
"Return to Master, not yet." Yi Xiaoming replied.
"Well, it should be on the way back." Taoist Wuji continued to analyze,
"At present, except for Lu Jiao, a blind person who dares to sneak up on your senior brother, the other sects in the world will not know my temper in Luokong Shan. Lu Jiao has been busy dealing with several people from the Sword Sect in recent days, so he should not be interested in your senior brother. The second attack. Jing Zhaoyue returned to Donghang Mountain a few days ago, and that old guy Wen Jinchun should have rolled out of Donghang Mountain. As far as I know, Wen Jinchun was also a person who was poisoned by the sword. Furthermore, That girl Li Luo from Li Zong is quite capable. The person you mentioned was able to hurt three of you and catch two of you to escape, which shows that this person has profound skills. That old dog Wen Jinchun practices Dan Ying Xie Gong, which is exactly what he said. At this point, if the dog is pushed hard and will jump over the wall, it will naturally not be afraid of offending anyone."
"Master, what you mean is that the person is Wen Jinchun, the great elder of Xuantian Sect? Then should we go to Dongxing Mountain to ask for him?" Yi Xiaoming asked back.
The old man inside replied: "Idiot, your head is full of my drunkenness, are you really stupid! I said that the leader of the Demon Cult, Jing Zhaoyue, has gone back, and Dongxing Mountain naturally cannot tolerate Xi Jinchun, so you have to go to Dongxing Mountain. Man, isn’t that a slap in my face, Master? What else can I call a perfect plan? Listen up! In the northwest, there are a few people who have become Lu Jiao’s lackeys, the Sword Sect, and that red sword is obviously someone from the Lu Jiao who colluded with Li It was caused by the ghosts in the sect, and they wanted to capture Luo Yao to prevent him from detoxifying the people who were poisoned by the sword. Therefore, it was impossible for Wen Jinchun to go northwest. As for the southwest winter travel mountain boundary, Wen Jinchun became a traitor to the demon sect at this time , Wen Jinchun is not a fool, and he will not go there. The northeast and southeast are the main branch areas of several major sword sects and sword alliances. They need Yao'er to perform acupuncture to detoxify, so they will naturally try their best to find Yao'er's whereabouts. Wen Jinchun He won't go either. Then there is only one direction, which is due south, and escape to the South China Sea. There are many sects and sects in the South China Sea and it is not a good climate. He Wen Jinchun is just the right place to settle down. Ahem! You two can go south, but you must Rescue Yao'er. If you can't rescue her, don't come back to see me!"
"Yes, Master."
"By the way, use your brain more along the way and don't walk through the main city. People who run away will not choose the road where there are many people. Furthermore, he escaped with two people. It is impossible not to go to Ma Yi or It's a horse-drawn carriage business. If you ask more about these places along the way, you'll get the news." Taoist Wu Ji inside added.
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me." Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaoming and Peng Yun hurriedly bowed three times to the bamboo house, turned around and headed straight to Ma Yi heading south, intending to inquire about the three of them while walking.
... Let’s talk about the Lu Jiao side of Xingzhou City at the foot of Dinghu Mountain. The time has arrived on the evening of the fourth day of April.
Chonghua Sect Kuang Jinxi led four Jian Sect disciples who had defected from the Sword Alliance. An empty carriage pretended to be someone from the Lu Sect walking in the front. He sat in the carriage behind and announced with great fanfare that the Lu Sect had returned to Fangzhou Mountain.
Xiao Yingfang, Yankong, the old man in black robe, Jin Zong Zhang Shunyuan, Tianxuan Zong Qixing Taoist, Qiyang Zong Wu Ya, several capable guys all stayed in a tavern, dressed as ordinary businessmen, waiting for news. Prepare to attack Wuji Sect at night and rescue Yiqu Changping, the chief minister of the main hall.
In a small tavern facing the street, there was a sword box on a large round table. When it was opened gently, five good swords were revealed.
Xiao Yingfang clasped her fists at the old man in black robe: "Thank you, old man." The old man in black robe replied lightly: "Li Zhiyun has agreed to your conditions. It is not Li Bai who has the final say in Lushan today. There are five handles here." Li Zhiyun's Mountain-Suppressing Sword was the result of Li Zhiyun's sincerity. As for the other one, Li Zhiyun brought Lushan Li Zong under your Lu Jiao sect, so he is naturally qualified to keep one as a Mountain-Suppressing Sword. I will make the decision for you. accepted."
"That's natural. Xiao Yingfang thanked the old man here." Xiao Yingfang cupped her fists and bowed to the old man in black robe.
The old man in black robe waved his hand and replied: "There is no need to express my gratitude for such a small thing. Just remember the conditions you promised me."
"Haha, of course I don't dare to forget." Xiao Yingfang smiled slightly,
"With these five swords, plus the previous one, with the skills of the few of us, we will not be able to save my brother." The several sword sect masters present were all delighted. After all, they coveted the Li Sect's hidden sword. It’s not just a day or two anymore, now that I have it, I’m naturally happy.
Just as they were admiring some of Li Zong's swords, a flute sounded outside the window. Xiao Yingfang understood, waved her hands to everyone, opened the door and went out.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, with only a few stars shining. Xiao Yingfang left the room, left the tavern, found a remote alley, and headed straight for Yanliu Lake.
But I saw him using Qinggong to cross the reeds on the lakeside and landed on a remote shoal. There are thick reeds here, far away from the bustling city, beside the luxuriant reeds, and no one is around. It is a good place for conspiracy.
"Please come out and see Zhao Siming." Xiao Yingfang whispered to the reeds swaying in the wind.
