Chapter 23: Chu Jianghan made a big fuss on Mount Tai, and Ren Youwei showed him the dangerous path
The moon was dark and the wind was high, so Chu Jianghan used his skills to find him. However, seeing that there were many skilled men from each faction, they all followed orders and set up camp on the spot. A group of seven or eight people lit a bonfire. The Taishan faction came to have food and wine, and everyone ate and drank alone.
From a distance, he saw the two sons of Yin and Yang of the Kunlun faction buried in drinking. Chu Jianghan cautiously approached them in a roundabout way. But I heard someone sigh: "Brother, is it possible that our Kunlun sect's trip is going to end in vain again?"
Another replied: "Alas! You and I haven't come down the mountain for several years. We don't want to see that there are many real talents in the martial arts world. We can't seize the sword by turning forward. Now, the leader of the alliance has been robbed by a man named Zhao. It's only because of our incompetence that the Kunlun faction's talents are withering." , you can’t blame others!”
The man cursed angrily, smashed the jug in his hand to pieces, stood up and said: "Earlier, there was a man named Chu from the Kongtong sect, and another red-handed spirit slaughterer came out of the Shaolin Temple. Now, among the people surnamed Zhao from the Huashan sect, who is not the younger generation?" , even if you practice from your mother’s womb, you will never achieve this level of cultivation! You and I have also studied hard since childhood. After decades of cold and heat, is it possible that we will really fall into the hands of the younger generations and be unable to stand up?"
There was another silence between the two.
The one who was standing said again: "Brother, why do you think that guy named Zhao has to wait until early tomorrow morning to deal with the devil? Follow me and kill him today to avoid causing any trouble?" Another one said again Said: "I don't think so. The devil is personally guarded by the old monk Jueming of Shaolin and the old beggar Wu of the Beggar Clan. How could anything happen? Even if we invite the Great Luo Immortal to come, nothing will happen! It's just... ..."
The one standing asked: "Just what?" Another said: "It's just that this guy named Zhao is not only great in martial arts, but also very cunning. We have to guard against it!" The one standing said: "Brother, what you said makes sense! I think except for Monk Jueming and Wu Laohuazi, there is no one on Mount Tai who can match him, even Taoist Priest Chongxuan of Wudang and Zhou Dalei of the Beggar Clan may not be able to defeat him." The other person did not answer.
The one who was standing said again: "Headmaster Liu of the Taishan Sect is really not a big deal. He only cares about flattering others and fawning over Zhao and the two coffin boys. Let the heroes of the world drink cool breeze here!" The other hurriedly stopped: "Don't talk too much, or you may offend others!" The other snorted and said angrily: "Afraid of what he will do!" The two were silent again.
Chu Jianghan was hiding in a place and heard everything clearly. He thought to himself: Listening to what the two men said, there is no doubt that Xuanwu must be imprisoned in the Taishan Sect, and is controlled by the Shaolin Abbot Master Jueming, who has the highest martial arts skills, and the Beggar Clan. Mr. Wu is personally taking care of these two people. Although he has advanced in martial arts recently, I am afraid that it will be difficult for any one of these two people to deal with him. If there is another expert next to him, let alone saving people, he is afraid of getting close. It’s difficult, what should I do? But since he is determined to rescue him, if he retreats when faced with difficulties and cuts off the clues to the Yang family's old friends, he will lose the loyalty of his late father, and he will be sorry for Mr. Ye's outer spirit.
Immediately, I went straight to the Taishan Sect and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, but there were pairs of big men patrolling back and forth with long swords on their backs and torches in their hands.
Chu Jianghan was not familiar with the terrain, so he lurked around and inquired. It took a group of people to talk about the whole yard, but where could they find any shadow? I couldn't help but feel anxious: after all, the terrain was unfamiliar. Secondly, Master Zhao was very resourceful and well-judged, and there were experts guarding the place. If someone accidentally leaked his whereabouts, I'm afraid they would be more vigilant, and then they would try to take action again. Saving each other will only become more difficult.
But he saw that there was no one guarding in a side courtyard. Chu Jianghan rolled over and stood in front of the window. He was about to take a rest and then think about it. Suddenly he heard someone breathing heavily in the house, so he quietly opened the window paper and looked inside. Look, all I saw was darkness inside. After all, Chu Jianghan had profound skills and sharp eyes and ears. At a glance, he saw a person huddled against the wall, breathing heavily, most likely Xuanwu.
There are two people sitting cross-legged in front of them, one on the left is meditating, and one on the right is lying on the ground, seemingly asleep, but not snoring. Chu Jianghan held his breath and listened carefully: the two people in the middle were Abbot Jueming and the crazy beggar Wu Mingming. The two people next to him were breathing calmly. They were obviously also skilled in martial arts, but they couldn't recognize them.
Chu Jianghan said in his heart: The front and back yards were heavily guarded, but this place was missed. This is true and false, it must be this place. Just as he was making his calculations, someone in the room said, "Since the masters outside are here, please come in!" Before Chu Jianghan could react, the two doors opened with a "bang". It was obviously Jueming who was directly opposite. The abbot and the crazy beggar Wu Mingming used tricks on their sleeves to open it.
Now that he had been discovered, Chu Jianghan simply took a step forward and walked in swaggeringly. Wu Mingming laughed and said, "It is indeed you, Brother Chu. We haven't seen you for a long time, and your cultivation has improved a lot!"
Chu Jianghan kowtowed to the ground, bowed three times, and said, "Junior Chu Jianghan, I have met all of you seniors!" The crazy beggar laughed, immediately jumped up and down, stepped forward, took Chu Jianghan's hand, turned around, and smiled. He said: "Come on, brother Chu, let me introduce you to some famous seniors!" He pointed at Abbot Jueming and said, "This is Master Jueming, the abbot of Shaolin!"
Abbot Jueming called out the Buddha's name and said, "Young Master Chu, are you alright?" The mad beggar let out a sigh, slapped his forehead and said, "Old beggar, I forgot, it turns out you have met before." Then he pointed to the person on the left and said "This is Taoist Master Chongxuan, the leader of Wudang." Chu Jianghan bowed in greeting and said, "This junior has already guessed it."
Then he pointed to the one on the right and said: "This is a master of the Emei sect, and people in the world call him 'The Mad Monk'." Chu Jianghan also saluted, but the Mad Monk snorted coldly.
The crazy monk snorted coldly, but it woke up the crazy beggar Wu Mingming, and asked hurriedly: "Brother Chu, what are you doing here?" The crazy monk snorted again, and said: "Could it be that Young Master Chu is here to save people?" Right?" Chu Jianghan was silent for a moment, Wu Mingming saw this and said: "The mad monk is joking, why is Brother Chu coming to save people? Most likely it was Alliance Leader Zhao who invited him to guard him together, haha... Brother Chu, do you think so or not?"
Chu Jianghan clasped his fists with both hands and said respectfully: "This junior is here to save people." Hearing this, the mad beggar jumped up and said: "Fart, fart!" Then he said to Chu Jianghan seriously: "Brother Chu. , this kind of joke is really unacceptable." Chu Jianghan clasped his fists and said: "I dare not deceive you seniors, I am really here to ask you seniors to spare this person's life."
Unexpectedly, the mad monk heard this and cursed loudly: "What the hell! Such a vicious demon! It's too late to chop him up tomorrow morning. How dare you, a young kid, come here to make fun of me!" Chu Jianghan hurriedly said. Said: "This junior really has an inside story, please listen to me!"
The mad monk cursed loudly: "You son of a bitch, you damn turtle. What's going on inside and out? With how capable you are, you dare to come here and act wild. The monk is here today and I won't allow you to act wild!" Chu Jiang Han originally wanted to explain in words, but this crazy monk hated evil and spoke uncontrollably, so his words were hard to hear. Chu Jianghan was a man of strong blood, and when he heard the slightest insult, he immediately became angry, snorted, and replied angrily: "Young master today If you have to save me, what will you do?"
The mad monk took off the fist-sized rosary beads from his chest and started to take action. Abbot Jueming called out the Buddha's name and said, "Young Master Chu, this person is no small matter. I would like to ask Young Master Chu to think twice before he acts." Taoist Master Chong Xuan also said, "Don't be impulsive, Young Master Chu. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it." Come and listen.”
The lunatic monk said: "You son of a turtle, speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any!" Upon hearing this, Chu Jianghan got angry again and said, "I have something to say, but I won't tell it to you, a thief like you."
The crazy monk has been famous in the martial arts world for a long time. Seeing his younger generation being so martial arts, how can he bear it? He shouted loudly and waved a Buddha bead as big as his fist, which he had already beaten away.
Firstly, the crazy monk caught him by surprise, and secondly, this crazy monk's martial arts were indeed superb. Jueming and Crazy Beggar did not stop him, but Taoist Priest Chongxuan of Wudang had other plans and was not really prepared to stop him. Instead, he hoped that Chu Jianghan could show off his sword skills. Not long ago, the elder of our sect died under the sword of an expert. There are rumors in the world that there is a new Danyang Swordsman, who is good or evil. Although it was proven that he was not the culprit in the Shaolin Temple in front of the heroes of the world, after all, he did not see it with his own eyes. As the leader of this Taishan Conference, he came in person. The reason One of them is also hoping to meet this Chu Jianghan so that he can see it with his own eyes and confirm it for himself. Now that he has met him, he can see it clearly.
Chu Jianghan was angry and only focused on bickering, but he never expected that the other party would attack suddenly and in an extremely domineering manner. He hurriedly jumped out of the way to make way for a move. He was even angrier and cursed in his mouth: "You are such a bald thief." , It’s in vain that you, as a senior in the martial arts world, launched a sneak attack, how shameless!” At that moment, he raised his Qi Luck Skill and fought against the crazy monk with just a pair of fleshy palms.
The crazy monk used his right hand to perform the White Tiger Fist of the Emei Sect. He started with the "Tiger Claw Raising Palm" move. His left hand also used the White Tiger Fist, but he used the Buddha beads in his hand as a palm technique. He was extremely fierce, and there was a shadow in his hand. Yiyang is strong and soft at the same time, but also sharp and fast. The three people next to him are all top-notch masters. They have long seen the subtleties in it and couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Looking at Chu Jianghan again, his palm skills are naturally the Kongtong sect's 36-way Wind Spirit Palm, which is the Mountain-Suppressing Palm. He has already mastered it. In addition, with his recent improvement in cultivation, he is even more powerful when using it. He passed the Buddhist beads on the lunatic monk's left hand and forcefully received a "Tiger Claw Raising Palm" from his right hand. It was impartial, just right, and just right to restrain it.
The crazy beggar watched the battle from the side and secretly cheered. He didn't want to say goodbye for a long time. He couldn't help but admire this boy for his advanced cultivation. The mad monk failed to succeed in any move, but he did not lose his energy at all. Then he turned around, hung the Buddhist beads on his chest, and used another move of "Evil Tiger Pounces on Food". Chu Jianghan stepped aside, exerted force on his feet, and looked at Aim and kick the Yunmen point on the opponent's shoulder. Yunmen point belongs to the lungs. If kicked correctly, it will definitely hurt the heart and pulse. It can range from vomiting blood and causing injuries to severe injuries, or immediate paralysis.
After all, the mad monk has experienced many battles and has rich experience. He immediately flipped in the air, passed a move, turned his palm into a fist, turned around and hit the opponent's chest. Chu Jianghan's eyes were quick and he hurriedly waved his palm with the "Wind and Cloud Surge" move. They greeted each other with a loud shout, and the insane monk was shaken away. I saw the crazy monk stepping forward again, his hands moving left and right, erratic, sometimes fists turned into palms, sometimes palms turned into claws, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false, but Chu Jianghan's moves were plain and measured, but not bad at all. , Zhao Zhao can always restrain the opponent slightly.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty moves had passed, and the crazy monk vaguely felt that the opponent's skill was still superior to his own. As a senior in the martial arts, he had long been famous all over the world. Today, he was unable to attack a junior in a fight today, and was defeated by the opponent. If he hadn't faced it, The enemy had rich experience in making moves, and he was afraid that he would be defeated long ago. He became angry and shouted, and fired both palms together, which was a "Thousand Palms".
The Thousand Palms was created by the senior masters of the Emei Sect. After being intensively studied by the masters of the younger generations, it was passed on to the hands of my master. It can be called a great success. The master relied on this unique skill to fight all over the world and rarely encountered any opponents. Therefore, the master was also known as the "Thousand Palms". "Hand Maitreya", this skill has come into my own hands. After decades of study, in terms of attainments, I am no longer inferior to my master.
Outside the court, Jueming and the crazy beggar saw the crazy monk perform this move and thought to themselves: When this move is performed, half of the battle is the knowledge of the moves and the ability to adapt to the situation, and the other half is the cultivation of internal strength, victory or defeat. Only this trick.
Although Chu Jianghan had advanced in cultivation, he was still young and could not see the pros and cons of it. He only felt that this move was not trivial. He did not dare to be careless at the moment. He raised his inner strength and used his hands to move forward with "Feng Yueyun". .
The three people outside the field felt a strong wind blowing on their cheeks, and they were shocked. The mad beggar screamed "No!" and saw that Abbot Jueming had already raised his Zen staff, jumped forward, stretched out his left palm, and took the palm for the crazy monk. He only heard a "bang" sound, and the crazy monk wowed. He screamed and was shaken aside by the wind. Abbot Jueming and Chu Jianghan each swayed and took a few steps back.
When Chu Jianghan saw Abbot Jueming coming on stage, he secretly screamed, and hurriedly drew out his sword, thinking: If Master Jueming takes action, I really don't have much confidence. He had already become wary in his heart, and the abbot master said: "Young Master Chu still needs to be merciful." Did the abbot master mean to be merciful to the insane monk, or did the abbot master personally want to have sex with him? Chu Jianghan didn't react for a moment.
Abbot Jueming said: "Young Master Chu, it's better to leave this place!" Chu Jianghan said: "I have to save this man's life. I hope Master Abbot will forgive me." After saying that, he walked up to Xuanwu and used his sword to cut off the chain. , raised his hand and pulled out the hook knife, and unblocked the acupuncture points first. Xuanwu screamed and shivered in pain. Chu Jianghan felt itchy, and he casually touched a few places all over his body to relieve the pain. He carried it on his back and was about to leave. The man shook his head and did not stop him for a moment.
The mad monk next to him shouted: "Don't let the devil get away!" Abbot Jueming suddenly woke up and saw a Zen staff blocking his way.
Chu Jiang Hanju calmly took off his shirt and tore it into strips of cloth. He picked up the Xuanwu and tied it on his back. Then he picked up the chain on the ground with his sword, tied it up again outside, held the sword in his right hand, and said: " If you really want to stop me, I will have no choice but to offend you." He shouted loudly and rushed out. Abbot Jueming was stunned for a while, and after singing "Amitabha", he opened a Zen staff and rushed towards Chu Jianghan. Jiang Han shouted loudly, turned around and struck out with his sword. Before the sword chant stopped, he saw that the sword in Abbot Jueming's hand was cut into two pieces.
Wu Mingming, the crazy beggar here, saw it in his eyes. Seeing Chu Jianghan's arrogance, he really couldn't bear to take action. He just stood aside and refused to take action. On the other side, Taoist Priest Chongxuan of Wudang was waiting for Chu Jianghan to use his sword skills to see clearly, but he still didn't make a move.
The mad monk saw the Zen staff in Abbot Jueming's hand being chopped in half. This sword skill was truly shocking. However, he saw that the two people next to him had not seen any movement, and for a moment he could not see what they were thinking. He only thought that they were timid and scared. He cursed the weakling, shouted, took the beads from his neck, threw them casually, and threw them at Chu Jianghan's junior. He used all his skills in this move. If he was hit, let alone his back. Xuanwu, even Chu Jianghan, who was standing alone, would probably be injured.
The crazy beggar on the side knew that he was powerful, and shouted loudly: "Be careful!" Chu Jianghan suddenly turned around when he heard this, and struck out with a sword. He saw a flash of white light, the sword kept chanting, and a hundred and eight fist-sized rosary beads followed. Cut into powder by sword energy. The four of them were horrified. Crazy Beggar and Chong Xuan hurriedly rushed forward and struck. Chu Jianghan turned around and struck out with a sword. The four of them hurriedly dodged to avoid the sharp edge. Chu Jianghan took the opportunity to use the special skill of "Xumi Sanyin". Turn around and rush out.
A lunatic monk had already fired an arrow, causing chaos in the courtyard. There were shouts of killing, and a group of masters were chasing after him. Among them, only the master Jueming and the crazy beggar Wu Mingming had the highest cultivation level, and they were chasing after them. They were followed by the mad monk and Taoist Chongxuan, and people came one after another after that. Chu Jianghan couldn't care less about what was behind him, so he just picked up a place with few people and flew away.
After about seven or eight miles, Chu Jianghan only heard that the people behind him were gradually being thrown away. Only Abbot Jueming and the crazy beggar Wu Mingming were chasing after him. Chu Jianghan could only run with blood boiling, and he didn't know when a wave of excitement surged in his chest. Feeling so passionate, he couldn't help but howl a few times, and then he ran like crazy again. After another seven or eight miles, the two people behind him were still chasing after him. Chu Jianghan knew that if the two of them talked about their skills, they would only be able to win. Above him, if the two of them had not admired him so much and failed to kill him, he would never have been able to escape. If he was caught up this time, it would be another matter. He was carrying one person on his back. As time went on, he would definitely be able to escape. If you want to be caught up, if you want to escape by then, I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible.
When he was in a hurry, he saw a figure flashing out from the right side. Chu Jianghan was shocked and secretly shouted: No, my life will end now! But he heard the visitor say: "Dear brother, don't panic! Foolish brother is here to help you." When Chu Jianghan heard that it was Brother Zhang, he hurriedly stopped. Zhang Chengwen came closer and said: "I am Wen Xiao who came to inquire. , All the brothers are on the left, my dear brother, hurry up and turn around!" Chu Jianghan was about to say something, but Brother Zhang pushed him away again and said, "Don't talk more, hurry up and leave!" After that, he said With a shout, he jumped up to block the two people behind him.
Chu Jianghan's heart suddenly became hot, and he had already had tears in his eyes. He looked back at Xuanwu on his back, breathing weakly. When he touched his back, he saw a bleeding wound on his shoulder. If he didn't seek medical treatment, he would be afraid of the bumps. Next, he will die sooner or later. He gritted his teeth, his heart skipped a beat, and he ran straight to the left hand.
After walking five or six miles, he suddenly saw someone blocking the way. Chu Jianghan was furious: It seems that a bloodbath tonight is inevitable. Suo Xing slowed down his steps and held the sword in his hand, ready to fight. However, when he got closer and took a closer look, he was overjoyed. The person coming was none other than his sworn brother Ren Jiang Ren Youwei.
Seeing this, Ren Youwei hurriedly asked. Chu Jianghan was waiting for an explanation when Ren Youwei suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Xian, is he injured?" Chu Jianghan hurriedly put down the man on his back. Although the acupoints were sealed, he couldn't stand it. The journey was bumpy and the bleeding stopped. Ren Youwei took out the medicine for the sores and the two of them applied it to Xuanwu.
Ren Youwei said: "My dear brother, you must never go this way again. This person shed blood all the way. It is inevitable that someone will follow the blood traces and find him. I think it's better to go back and go down the mountain to see my brother." Chu Jianghan thought that It made sense, but they were worried about Brother Zhang's safety, so the two of them walked in the opposite direction. When Chu Jianghan returned to the place where he broke up with Brother Zhang, where was there anyone else? I was thinking about Brother Zhang in my heart, but after all, I was in the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. If I was not careful, I would be chased. If I tried to escape then, I would never be able to escape.
At that moment, Chu Jianghan followed Ren Youwei for about midnight, taking the road down the mountain. Ren Youwei said: "I came to Mount Tai for my brother, but I didn't realize that I had already delayed the time, so I took advantage of the darkness to go up, and unexpectedly met my good brother here." Chu Jianghan only briefly told the whole story. .
In the blink of an eye, the east became white. Chu Jianghan arrived at the foot of the mountain and Ren Youwei said: "It seems that the sunrise on the top of Daiding can no longer be seen!" Then he said again: "It seems that on this Mount Tai, all the sunrises are invisible." I'm afraid I'll be delayed for a day or two, because I still have friends on the mountain, so I still have to go to the meeting for a while, and I won't be able to stay with my brother."
Chu Jianghan talked about the Shuiyue Tower thing again, and kept saying sorry. Ren Youwei smiled slightly and said, "Brothers, don't say this. If you say more, you will be out of touch." After a while, the two of them said their goodbyes.
