It is less than one day away from the expected opening date of the Five Sacred Mountains Conference. Most of the righteous people have already arrived at Hengshan Mountain, but there is still no news from Shaolin.
It is worth mentioning that not only did no news come from the Southern Shaolin, but no one came from the Northern Shaolin.
Although the northern and southern Shaolin schools both practice Buddhism, read Buddhism, and talk about Amitabha, the two sides have been separated for many years and have already become of the same lineage. Except for the fact that the people who stay in the temple are all monks. , almost no different from the two sects.
However, although the two sides are separated, their ancestors have the same roots. When people in the world talk about Shaolin, they rarely discuss the two families separately. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the northern and southern Shaolin are one family.
But whoever is here is not a representative of a first-class powerful sect, and who doesn't know the truth about Northern and Southern Shaolin. But now that both of them are absent at the same time, something seems wrong.
But the protagonist of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is the Five Mountains after all. Whether Shaolin comes or not will not affect the convening of the conference.
It's a pity that the weather was not good at this time. It was originally a clear sky, but suddenly dark clouds covered it, and the sound of thunder resounded among the clouds.
Lu Hanjiang looked at the gloomy sky, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face. Yongle looked at it strangely and asked, "It's going to rain. Why are you happy?"
"After this heavy rain, there will definitely be good weather tomorrow." He said.
The two of them stopped in the corridor, and two women came next to them. One was dressed plainly, had a kind face, and had a graceful temperament. The other was lively and cute. She was Shi Suxue, a disciple of Hengshan whom she had met a few days ago.
Seeing how respectful and flattering she was towards the woman, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this person. He should be Shi Jiuning, the head of Beiyue Hengshan Sect.
In terms of age and appearance, the current head of the family is almost the same as Mrs. Gu Qianhan of Shang Jidao. However, compared to the heroic Mrs. Gu, she is more restrained and sincere. It seemed that the current headmaster had more of a senior demeanor.
But it may also be related to the martial arts practiced. To win in danger, Huashan Swordsmanship mostly relies on moves that move forward without retreating. It is necessary to develop an indomitable momentum. However, Hengshan Swordsmanship is good at defense and often uses defense as offense. Therefore, the current leader does not need to be so sharp.
While thinking, the two parties met each other, and Shi Suxue introduced them to Shi Jiuning: "Master, they are the disciples sent by Wudang."
Before she could finish speaking, Shi Jiuning already knew the identity of the person in front of her. She looked at the two of them with a smile: "Young Master Chi, Miss Chi, my disciple has caused you trouble."
"Master! I don't have one!" Shi Suxue shook Shi Jiuning's arm and made an aggrieved voice.
"Headmaster Shi is joking. Miss Shi is pure and pure, and has a clear mind. How can she cause any trouble to the juniors."
Of course, what Lu Hanjiang said was polite, but only a person like Shi Suxue, who didn't have that much thought, would believe it. At that time, Jiu Ning smiled helplessly: "That kid Lu Wen has a very high spirit, and he always takes care of me." This disciple, at the meeting tomorrow, I am afraid he will want to ask the young hero for some Wudang swordsmanship."
It was originally inconvenient for her as an elder to get involved in the jealousy of young people, but unfortunately it was not just her disciples involved, so she had no choice but to speak out.
This made Lu Hanjiang take another look at her. There were many people who were quick to clear things up when things happened, but those who didn't push her out and instead took her into his arms were really rare.
Lu Hanjiang could roughly guess what Shi Jiuning was thinking. If Lu Wen targeted Wudang disciples for no reason, he would definitely be talked about behind his back, which might affect the relationship between the two factions. But if everyone knew that Junior Sister Hengshan was also involved. , it was just a young man’s romantic anecdote, not worth mentioning.
She may have seen the contradiction between Lu Wen and Lu Hanjiang and wanted to make peace with them, or she wanted to show an attitude, a unanimous attitude of the Five Mountains Sword Sect toward the outside world.
This is a bit interesting. Lu Hanjiang smiled and replied: "I am also looking forward to Lu Shaoxia's Songshan swordsmanship."
After that, Lu Hanjiang took Yongle and left, leaving Shi Jiuning sighing slightly. She patted the back of Shi Suxue's hand: "You..."
"Master, what's wrong?" The little girl turned her head blankly, not knowing what was going on.
"Let's go." Shi Jiuning didn't say anything clearly, and the master and apprentice slowly left the place.
After the two left, it started to rain not long after. Scattered raindrops fell, and it turned into a downpour in an instant. The ground was quickly wet, and a rain curtain stretched across the sky and enveloped the sky above Hengshan Mountain.
The heavy rain turned the ground into mud, and the man riding a horse who was speeding along couldn't help but rein in the horse's rope, but what stopped him was not the rain curtain, but the dozen or so uninvited guests in raincoats and bamboo hats in front of him.
"I dare to ask who is in front! Why are you blocking the way down!"
The man got off the horse with a slight shout, and saw that he was dressed in white, with a long flowing gown. He was in his early forties, with a long sword with green water patterns on his waist. His eyebrows were like swords, his appearance was handsome, and his expression was very chic.
The dozen or so people blocking the road didn't reply, but when the leader raised his hand, they all threw off their raincoats to reveal the dark-colored flying fish clothes underneath. The repeating crossbow arrows they held in their hands were already strung up and in place, and they were fired in unison.
The arrow that pierced the rain curtain flew away. The man in white's face changed, and he dodged backwards using Qinggong. He sat down and the horse let out a few mournful cries before falling into a pool of blood with sharp arrows all over his body.
"Jinyiwei!"
The man in white revealed the identities of the people in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what I have committed, please come and ask me for it!"
"Wudang, Bai Jingnian?" The leader opened his bamboo hat, it was Cui Yixiao, deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei.
"That's right." Bai Jingnian held the long sword, but did not unsheath it.
After hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Cui Yixiao's face turned cold: "I have been identified, kill him!"
More than a dozen people around them put away their empty crossbow arrows, pulled out their embroidered spring knives from their waists, and rushed forward with murderous intent.
Bai Jingnian frowned when he saw this. He snorted and unsheathed the sword at his waist. The sharp sword energy seemed to block the rain. He pointed his sword at Cui Yixiao from a distance: "Since I am innocent and accountable, then I will forgive you. Dare to obey."
After the words fell, there was only a flash of sword light. Bai Jingnian's sword moves seemed to be endless. The half-true and half-false sword energy thrust out, and the sword flew away the Xiuchun in the hand of the oncoming Jin Yiwei. Then he pressed forward with the sword, and a sword light flew out. The Jin Yiwei fell to the ground and cried out in pain while holding his blood-stained shoulder.
"Cuixu Sword Technique."
Cui Yixiao looked stern. He took out an object from his back. It looked like an ordinary crossbow arrow, but in fact, it hid a mystery. After he pulled the trigger, no arrows were missed. However, the mechanisms on both sides of the crossbow arrow popped up, and in the blink of an eye, the crossbow arrow turned into a weapon. Got a big bow.
He bent his bow and arrow, and fixed his gaze on Bai Jingnian, who was able to survive the Jin Yiwei's siege with ease. Then he took a deep breath, and he forcefully pulled the bow string that was already extremely tight.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a ferocious cry, the arrow shot out and turned into a stream of light, hitting Bai Jingnian directly. In the chaos of the battle, his ears had just caught the sound of breaking wind, and the arrow was already approaching the door.
Bai Jingnian's childish eyes suddenly shrunk, and his body's instinct saved his life. He turned his head away at the last moment. In just a flash, a trace of blood appeared on his cheek, and a few drops splashed in the air. Waiting for him After knocking down the attacking Jin Yiwei with another sword, the pain slowly came.
He stared at Cui Yixiao, with no look of contempt in his eyes: "What a handsome archery..."
