Chapter 25: I went to the deserted temple at night to heal my wounds. I was ashamed of my fellow disciples and endured the pain in front of them.
Xuanwu came to his senses, took a long breath, and said slowly: "Brother Chu, it's me they want to take! Leave quickly! You are from the Kongtong Sect, so you must not ruin your future for me!"
Chu Jianghan raised his head and said: "Since I can carry you away from Mount Tai, I will definitely be able to take you out of the tiger's mouth today." Xuanwu knew that he couldn't say anything, so he sneered several times and said: "Brother Chu, there are twenty people here. You use hooks and swords respectively. This is the Emei Sect’s Sun and Moon Infinite Formation. Although you are good at swordsmanship, if you want to break this formation, you and I must join forces!"
Chu Jianghan only said: "Just rest for a moment. I can still handle this kind of rough work!" Xuanwu stood up and laughed: "After taking the elixir yesterday, I expected three I will not hold my true energy for the rest of the day in order to recover. It seems that today I have to put all my energy into solving the Sun and Moon Wuji Formation of the Emei Sect, and by the way, I can prove what I learned in the past."
For a person like Chu Jianghan, he would naturally understand when he heard this: when he took the medicine a few days ago, he clearly said that he would be able to recover after seven days. Now that Xuanwu said this, he clearly meant to lie. No wonder they are called the Demon Cult in the world. This trick of deceiving people is really clever.
The crazy monk jumped up when he heard the words and cursed: "You shameless old man! You are obviously injured, but you still dare to make such arrogant remarks. Come on, come on, let me learn about your Xuanwu skills. If I were three Even if I beat you to death, I would rather work as a cow or a horse to take care of your disabled person for the rest of his life."
Although this monk is a monk, his nature is like a blazing fire and he has no authority. He only talks about this Xuanwu. He is obviously injured. If he wants to hit him, he will die. If he fails, he will be crippled. He opened his mouth and said that if he could be beaten to death with three palms, he would take care of his disability for the rest of his life. From what he said, he was clearly a street person, how could he look like a famous monk in the world? But when he opened his mouth, he really scolded and relieved his hatred.
As they spoke, twenty people used hook swords and formed a formation. Xuanwu waved his big hand and shouted: "Wait a minute! Monk Diai, although your Emei Sect's formation is exquisite, it is not indestructible! What can people in the martial arts community do for hundreds of years? It’s not that my martial arts skills are not strong enough, it’s that I don’t know the subtleties of this formation! I only need a few words now, and with Brother Chu’s divine swordsmanship, I can defeat him in an instant.” After saying this, he burst out laughing.
Chu Jianghan was also unsure. If the horse hadn't been frightened and rushed towards him, even if he wasn't injured, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. He would still be fighting fiercely at this moment. When Xuanwu said this, was he deliberately delaying? Or maybe he really saw the clues? Let's see what he said. He was thinking carefully and didn't say much.
Xuanwu said: "The essence of this formation lies in the combination of hooks and swords, and the complementarity of yin and yang. When a master enters the formation, if he breaks upward, he will be attacked by the enemy at his feet; if he breaks through from the front, he will be attacked by the enemy at the back. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is really powerful." The mad monk snorted coldly. Not even a word. When Chu Jianghan heard this, he said in his heart that it was indeed true. Just now he wanted to control the person who ordered him, but he was afraid of the enemy behind him and did not dare to go further. This old man is really amazing.
Xuanwu said loudly: "If you want to break this formation, you don't have to worry about the enemies behind you. You only need to go straight to the person who ordered the main formation. The formation will be broken in an instant. Monk Di, with Brother Chu's skills, I only need to resist In your ten moves, Brother Chu will break the formation within the first three moves, and within the last seven moves, Brother Chu will come back to help. Although I am injured, I already took the Miaojiang elixir yesterday. I only cherished the properties of the medicine. I don’t dare to fight you. If I risk my life to take ten moves from you, even though my cultivation level will be difficult to recover, I can still keep my life. I am afraid that you will lose half of all my disciples. Hum, with that Brother Chu's self-lighting skills, even if you carry me on my back again, I'm afraid you will never be able to catch up. I'm afraid the reputation of the Emei Sect today will be lost in your hands..."
Shen Qiuyue opened her mouth and cursed: "Shameless old thief, stop using your words. Master, please don't listen to his nonsense. Only by letting the devil go, will your master's reputation be ruined..."
The mad monk lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, Xuanwu raised his head and said: "Great monk, you don't care about your reputation, but you have to think about the lives of this group of descendants!"
Chu Jianghan was standing aside, focusing on how to break the formation within three moves. Suddenly he heard the mad monk sigh a few times. He waved his hand and slapped his brain hard. The "snap" sound was really loud. , and said: "That's it! You two go away!" Chu Jianghan was about to say thank you, Xuanwu laughed, bowed and said: "Monk Dia, your Emei sect is not against me today, but when we meet again one day, I will let you go. One horse, brother Chu, let's go!" After that, Chu Jianghan took the reins of the horse, and the two of them walked away.
Before half a mile, Xuanwu suddenly hit his horse and galloped. Chu Jianghan followed the horse for five or six miles. The horse's hoofs gradually slowed down. Chu Jianghan rushed forward. Xuanwu fell off the horse and vomited blood. Chu Jianghan hurriedly practiced Qigong to heal his injuries. After a cup of tea, Xuanwu slowly woke up, shook his head and said: "What a danger, what a danger!" Chu Jianghan knew that Xuanwu had deliberately deceived him, but he never expected that Xuanwu's injury would be so serious. heavy.
Xuanwu said: "If it weren't for that bald donkey's crazy nature, your brother Chu would still be fine today, but I'm afraid I would have to keep my little life." Chu Jianghan was confused and asked hurriedly; Could it be that you just said that you can't break his formation?" Xuanwu said slowly: "According to what I just said, it is true that he can break his formation, but I can't take a single move." Chu Jianghan listened to his vest As soon as I got hot, I thought: The world is dangerous, especially the human heart. I can't help but shake my head.
The two rested for a while, then got on their horses and started on their way again. Xuanwu saw that Chu Jianghan was silent and sighed: "Young man, this is what the world is like. Do you know what the most powerful martial arts in the world is?" Chu Jianghan shook his head. .
Just say that two people were walking on the road. On this day, they came to a deserted village and saw a ruined temple in the distance. The walls were broken down and the doors collapsed. It was in dilapidated condition. Xuanwu said: "Brother Chu, I have been taking medicine for six days. Tonight is a critical time and I need to find a secluded place. You protected me for two hours. I used my unique secret technique to regulate my breathing and breathing. After tonight, I Then you can recover." As they spoke, the two entered the ruined temple.
The temple was already dilapidated. Chu Jianghan entered the temple and searched carefully. He found a pile of grass behind a clay statue and asked Xuanwu to sit down. After a while, Xuanwu started to use his skills. , Chu Jianghan sat down on the ground under the statue. When he looked again, the clay statue fell off, and it was no longer clear what god it was worshiping. At that moment, he was worried about leaving the temple, so he went out of the temple again, simply untied the saddle and bridle, and looked at the horse's butt. After a shot from behind, the horse was startled and galloped away.
Chu Jianghan heard that Xuanwu was breathing evenly and knew that he had already mastered the magical power of luck and was entering a wonderful state. He sat down and adjusted his breath. Suddenly he felt comfortable all over his body, and the fatigue of the past few days was completely gone.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard hurried footsteps outside the temple, and two people were talking to each other: "Second senior brother, do you think that junior brother Chu has really fallen into the devil's path and is committing heinous crimes?"
"Hmph! Need I say this? On top of Mount Tai, he openly rescued the evil spirits from the demon sect. He went to the Shaolin Temple to kill the real master of Shaolin with a sword, and he dared to hurt the master of the sect. Every one of them was fake. No one was fake. ?”
Chu Jianghan had heard it a long time ago, and the person who spoke later was Tianxuan, the second senior brother of Master Ziyang Zhenren, and the other person was Tianbao, the disciple of Taoist Iron Hand. When Chu Jianghan heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't want to think that someone in the master's sect would look at me like this? It’s just that Senior Ye’s request must be completed.
Senior Brother Tianbao said again: "I wonder what Junior Brother Chu has to hide!"
While they were talking, the two of them were about to enter the temple. Chu Jianghan hurriedly hid behind the clay sculpture. When he looked at Xuanwu again, his face was rosy. It was obviously a critical moment and he must not be disturbed. If the two senior brothers really wanted to find out, he could only try to delay or lure them away.
"Junior brother Tianbao, you must not follow the example of your senior brother and leave in anger! Now is the time for our division to employ people. One more person will give us more strength. I have said that this time when we go down the mountain, our Kongtong sect will But Uncle Tie Shou leads the team, you are his direct disciple, you must not have any second thoughts."
While they were talking, the two of them entered the temple gate, and Senior Brother Tianbao said again: "Even though Junior Brother Chu was naughty on the mountain, he didn't look like an evil person. Maybe what happened to him after he came down from the mountain?"
Tianxuan said: "I can't believe it. You and I studied hard at the mountain gate, and it's nothing more than this. He started more than ten years later than you and me. If he hadn't learned some heretical ways, how could he have achieved such a level of cultivation?" He sighed again. : "Although you and I are known as masters among the same generation, to be fair, we are absolutely inferior to others!"
Tianbao said: "Second senior brother, you and I practice martial arts, keep fit on the mountain, and come down the mountain to help those in need. Who cares about who is smarter?" Tianxuan sneered several times after hearing this, and then sighed: "What junior brother Tianbao said is extremely Yes, I am stupid!"
The two were silent for a while. Suddenly Tian Xuan said: "I see there are no outsiders here, so I might as well ask everyone to come and spend the night here together. After a rest, it won't be too late to catch up tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jianghan couldn't say clearly. If he calls all his fellow disciples, it will inevitably lead to an encounter. What should I do? There was only a swishing sound, and someone had fired an arrow a long time ago. When Chu Jianghan looked at Xuanwu again, he couldn't stand the slightest disturbance, so he simply jumped out and bowed to the two senior brothers.
Tianbao said happily: "Junior Brother Chu, it turns out you are here! You just happened to follow me back to the mountain to meet the head master. I just don't want to get involved in this excitement..." The words were extremely cordial. . Chu Jianghan's heart felt hot and he was speechless for a long time. Senior Brother Tianxuan waved his whisk and said coldly: "Junior Brother Chu? Why are you here alone?" Chu Jianghan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Tian Xuan looked up and down, then suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Could it be that the devil was taken away by his Emei sect?" Chu Jianghan was in a daze and did not answer.
Tian Xuan suddenly shouted again: "Chu Jianghan, if you still think that you are my Kongtong disciple, please quickly untie the sword and follow me to see the master, so that you can be punished for inciting chaos and disobeying the master." Crime!" Chu Jianghan thought of the incident in the Shaolin Temple where he stabbed a real monk with a sword and injured his own Iron Hand Taoist. He became even more ashamed and remained silent for a while.
Just as he was feeling confused, he heard hurried footsteps outside the temple door, and a figure roared into the door. Chu Jianghan recognized it, and it was none other than the Taoist Taoist from his sect. After that, dozens of people came one after another. Chu Jianghan's fellow disciples were too embarrassed to look at him.
Tian Xuan and Tian Bao stepped forward to report to Taoist Tie Shou. Taoist Tie Shou glared red and said angrily: "Shameless villain! You have ruined the reputation of our Kongtong Sect." He said again: "Come on! Hold him down for me, and after I have destroyed his martial arts, I will send someone to take him back to the mountain gate and tell the head brother to punish him!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Tianbao and other disciples knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Master, have mercy! Junior Brother Chu has grown up in the mountains since he was a child. He is not familiar with worldly affairs and is young and ignorant. It is inevitable that he will be tempted by others when he goes down the mountain, which will lead to a big mistake. I hope that Master will be merciful and bypass his skin." suffering."
Several senior brothers who have grown up together since childhood said: "Junior Brother Chu is quite well-behaved in the mountain. I just brought him back to the mountain gate and asked all the wise seniors to give you some advice, so that he can be devoted to good deeds. Besides, Junior Brother Chu is dedicated to cultivating himself." Because, in the future, I will be able to bring blessings to my mountain sect. I hope that the master will have the virtue of a good life, be extraordinarily merciful, and bypass him this time."
The Iron Hand Taoist said angrily: "It is precisely because this rebellious disciple has learned the essence of our Kongtong sect. If he acts recklessly again and brings trouble to the world, it will be our sect's fault. It is time to abolish his martial arts to set an example." He then said, "What if you wait? If you ask for mercy again, you will be ostracized from my mountain gate." Chu Jiang coldly said in a low voice: "All my abilities were passed down by my mentor Ziyang Zhenren, and others have no right to take them away. I think my uncle is clearly... right I am resentful about what happened in Shaolin and am seeking personal revenge!”
The Iron Hand Taoist jumped up and cursed loudly when he heard this. Tian Xuan shouted next to him: "How dare you! You are a disrespectful and rebellious disciple, how dare you speak to your teacher like this?" Some of the disciples shook their heads and sighed, and some offered words of advice. How could Taoist Iron Hands be willing to bypass it? He waved his fist and was about to strike, shouting: "Okay, you little thief, today I want to see what you can do. I want to see what an amazing disciple the master has trained. Come on, come on." , you and I will fight another three hundred rounds!"
Chu Jianghan dodged sideways, made a plop, knelt on the ground, and said: "I'm so rude, I regret it. Today, no matter what, I don't dare to fight against our master again." Taoist Iron Shou was still angry and cold. After humming a few times, he stretched out his right hand and used his "Eagle Claw Technique" to grab Chu Jianghan's shoulder. Chu Jianghan seriously refused to fight back or give way.
He only knew that Chu Jianghan's skill was profound and far superior to his own, so he struck with great force. Chu Jianghan was in unbearable pain. He exerted force on his waist and twisted his body backwards, but his left arm had already been dislocated, including the leather and flesh. , was caught in a piece.
All the fellow disciples never thought that Chu Jianghan really didn't fight back. They were all surprised and sighed. Tianbao and others knelt down to beg for mercy. The Tie Shou Taoist was even more surprised. He was silent for a while, and then his face turned red.
As a senior, he had nothing to do with his juniors. He never expected that the other party would not fight back. In this case, he felt even more ashamed. He sighed and said: "That's it, that's it! I hope you take care of yourself and never fight with the devil again." Teach yourself to associate with evil spirits." After saying that, he waved his hand and led a group of disciples to leave. There were several senior brothers with whom I had good friendships. They helped me connect the arm and apply powder, secretly left some silver coins, and left silently.
Chu Jianghan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt desolate again. Unknowingly, his eyes were already moist.
When he hurriedly turned to look behind the clay statue, Xuanwu's face became more and more rosy, his breathing was steady, and he was not affected at all.
At this moment, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, and Chu Jianghan was startled: Could it be that Taoist Iron Hand discovered that Xuanwu was in the temple and turned around to bring someone to get it? When I listened carefully, I realized that none of the martial arts skills were from my own sect, so I was a little relieved. Then he frowned again, who knew who was coming now? There will inevitably be a dispute later.
Before he could think about it, a burst of laughter came from outside the door.
As the saying goes, one wave calms down and another wave rises. Who is coming? We will explain next time.
