The fourth disciple’s name is Lu Chengnan. I wrote it wrong before.
Chapter 93
The gentle spring breeze in April makes people's hearts feel soft.
After experiencing the major disturbances caused by the invasion of the true and false sect masters and the demon sect, the Qingque Sect finally restored its previous peace and tranquility. The morning sun was blazing in the martial arts arena, and the crowd was buzzing with voices. Song Yuzhi lowered his shoulders and concentrated his energy, with a strong body. With one strike of his sword, the rocks burst into pieces, the dust stirred up, and the disciples cheered like thunder.
This dangerous trip to the Demon Sect could have been a complete success. Song and Cai got a treasure by chance, and escaped from the demon sect that was in constant dispute. After returning, Song Yuzhi restored his previous skills, and was so happy that Qi Yunke ate several more bowls of rice - for any sect For a person, the direct disciples who have been carefully cultivated for more than ten years are extremely important.
God is doing his best and everyone is happy, but the disciples felt a strange sense of disharmony hanging over thousands of mountains and cliffs - Junior Sister Xiao Cai, who was always smiling and gentle, suddenly changed her temper.
The first one to hit her was Fourth Senior Brother Ding Zhuo.
Ding Shaoxia, who was rejected for the second time, felt that he had a reason to be angry, so he insulted Cai Zhao a few times at the small banquet hosted by Zeng Mansion, as if he was indeed a nobody, otherwise he would not be the same every time. Forgotten.
I originally thought that Miss Cai would hold her fists in front of her and apologize with a smile, and then the two of them would make a war agreement. Unexpectedly, this time she took down her chopsticks without saying a word, grabbed Ding Zhuo's sleeves with a cold face, dragged her all the way back to Ding Zhuo's residence, and asked people to guard the courtyard door tightly, not allowing anyone to enter.
After about two or three sticks of incense, Cai Zhao came out with an expressionless face. Yuehua's long skirt showed off as if she didn't recognize her relatives. No one dared to come forward to ask. Ding Zhuo locked himself in the room for three days, and when he showed up again He was melancholy, and the arrogant spirit that he used to possess was reduced by half.
Although no one knows what happened in Pozhu Pavilion, but according to the disciples who scratched the wall, there was a constant sound of clanking swords inside. The servants who went in to clean up afterward said that there were broken sword fragments all over the place. It's time for a serious fight, maybe more than one.
No one knew the outcome of the duel, and no one dared to ask. All they knew was that when Cai Zhao opened the door and came out, he coldly said to Ding Zhuo who fell to the ground, "Is learning martial arts just for showing off to others? Life and death." When you are fighting, who would wait for you to take a bath and burn incense before asking you if your heart hurts or if you are full! If Fourth Senior Brother continues to act like this, he will just work behind closed doors for the rest of his life!"
The good result of this incident was that Ding Zhuo began to actively participate in competitions between his fellow disciples, and expressed to Qi Yunke that he hoped to have the opportunity to go down the mountain to practice; the bad result was that there was one more senior brother to 'prompt' the disciples.
The second person to hit Cai Zhao's knife edge was Song Yuzhi.
In fact, Song Yuzhi was not interested in the results of Po Zhuxuan's closed-door competition. He just wanted to find an excuse to go to Chunling Xiaozhu.
"What was the result of the competition between Junior Sister Zhaozhao and Fourth Junior Brother that day?" Song Yuzhi asked sternly.
Cai Zhao looked surprised: "You and I have been side by side in Netherworld Huangdao for many days. Don't you know?"
Of course Song Yuzhi knew.
Cai Zhao was already one step ahead of Ding Zhuo, but she had only practiced in the Luoying Valley before, and it was only later that the Demon Sect traveled to thousands of rivers and cliffs to give her the opportunity to practice. However, that time was too short after all, and the people rushing aside were Li Wenxun and others. She was more or less sure that her life was safe, and it was not as good as this trip to the Netherworld Dao to fight with real swords and guns.
The followers of the Demon Sect do not believe in martial ethics. During the continuous adventure, Cai Zhao learned all kinds of open swords and secret arrows, and his martial arts naturally improved rapidly. According to Song Yuzhi's estimate, Cai Zhao could defeat Ding Zhuo in 1,780 moves before going to the Netherworld. After returning from the Netherworld, Cai Zhao could defeat Ding Zhuo in about 100 moves.
After all, Song Yuzhi was not good at words, so in the end he had to ask directly: "Within a few moves?"
Cai Zhao: "Seventy-eight moves."
"So fast?" Song Yuzhi was a little surprised.
"I pulled out the Yanyang Sword. Fourth Senior Brother felt sorry for his 'Changkong' Sword and didn't dare to confront me." Cai Zhao shrugged.
Song Yuzhi: "...it's just a competition between fellow sects, why draw the Yang Yang Sword."
"I am doing it for the benefit of Fourth Senior Brother. He is too particular and will suffer a loss when facing the enemy."
And with that, the conversation ends.
Song Yuzhi, who was as arrogant and cold-hearted as he was, also noticed that the junior sister had no interest in chatting; in the past, the smiling little girl could have chatted a lot of gossip from her storybook to the chef's new dishes.
Song Yuzhi had no choice but to find his own words: "Have Junior Sister read all the scrolls I sent?"
"I've read them all. It's very good. It's even better than the storybook. Third brother, do you have any more? Let's get some new ones."
"..." Song Yuzhi said, "Junior sister has nothing to say to me."
Cai Zhao thought for a while, "Yes, senior brother, follow me."
She pulled Song Yuzhi's sleeve and walked out, walked through the corridor and flower garden, and came to a pavilion in the backyard of Chunling Xiaozhu. There was a long bamboo tube on the pavilion.
Cai Zhao stood on tiptoes and looked from a distance, "I knew they would definitely come at this time."
The terrain here is higher, and you can just see two people talking in a low voice in the bushes not far below.
It turned out to be Qi Lingbo and Dai Fengchi, but only their two heads could be seen and their voices could not be heard.
Cai Zhao pushed Song Yuzhi to the bamboo tube and motioned for him to lean over and listen - he didn't know how the bamboo tube was set up. The voices of Qi Lingbo and Dai Fengchi continued to come from the bamboo tube.
"...Didn't you tell Second Senior Brother to eat more yesterday? I see you have lost weight again today." Qi Lingbo's voice sounded.
Dai Fengchi sighed and said nothing.
"Why do we have to come here to talk? Why doesn't Second Senior Brother come to see me in Xianyu Linglong Residence?"
"I'm in an awkward situation now, and I don't want to cause any trouble to you."
"Second Senior Brother was deceived into helping the impostor, and he didn't mean to help. I told my father, and he said he doesn't blame Second Senior Brother at all."
"Master is kind and kind, so he will naturally not blame me. But how should my fellow disciples view me? The third junior brother could notice that there was something wrong with the counterfeit, but I didn't notice at all."
"Third Senior Brother has grown up with his father since he was a child. In terms of understanding of his father, even a daughter like me is not as good as me. What's more, Second Senior Brother, you grew up by your mother. Second Senior Brother, don't blame yourself, I've read it all Heartbroken."
"Ling Bo, I know what you are thinking, but it is better for us to stay far away from each other in the future. We are older, not as young as we were. If you get too close to me, Third Junior Brother will be unhappy."
"Unhappy? Huh! Third Senior Brother has never seen me in his eyes. Not to mention who I am close to, even if I die, he is afraid that he will be the last to know!"
"Junior sister, don't say that. After all... alas... my master mother has been kind to me in nurturing me. I can't harm you. Although my martial arts skills are low, as long as you order me, junior sister, I will cut you to death with a thousand swords! If you violate your oath, Destroyed by heaven and earth! Alas, we will see each other less in the future!"
Qi Lingbo waited for a while before saying, "...Second senior brother, my mother has often told me these days to think clearly about my marriage."
"Why would Master's wife say this?"
Qi Lingbo said: "My mother said that living a married life is like a person knowing whether drinking water is warm or cold. I have to think clearly whether the boundless honor and power can overcome the neglect and loneliness in my heart for half a lifetime."
"Master, Master, did you really say that?" Dai Fengchi's voice trembled, "Junior Sister, Junior Sister, I... eh, Junior Sister, wait for me, wait for me..."
There was a sound of footsteps and the two of them walked away.
Song Yuzhi put down the bamboo tube and looked at Cai Zhao.
Cai Zhao also looked at him.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Song Yuzhi said: "Did you make this bamboo tube?"
Cai Zhaodao: "After I saw them talking there for the first time, I cut a piece of bamboo overnight. The distance is just right. If it is further away, the sound will not be transmitted."
"It's wrong to eavesdrop on people."
"oh."
The two looked at each other again.
After a while, Song Yuzhi was still defeated: "What do you mean by asking me to listen to this?"
"It's not interesting, that's what Third Senior Brother thinks."
Song Yuzhi pondered for a moment, "My engagement with Ling Bo..."
"Third senior brother, there is no need to explain." Cai Zhao turned around and walked away, waving his hands behind his back, "Since I was a child, I have liked to listen to others and don't like to listen to explanations."
After that, there was another unhappy person in the sect, Song Yuzhi.
The third person who bumped into Cai Zhao's knife edge was a group of people.
Nowadays, the situation on the cliffs of thousands of rivers and mountains is delicate. Song and Cai, Song and Qi, Qi and Dai are simply complicated and treacherous. There are hundreds of disciples in the sect, so naturally some of them are prone to quarrels. The better ones are just a wink and a smile, and the ones with bad intentions will inevitably come out with some dirty words.
However, for some reason, after they finished their laughing and joking discussion, they would turn around and find Junior Sister Xiao Cai squatting aside, smiling and listening for who knows how long. When she pats her skirt and stands up, she will 'ask for advice' from her fellow disciples.
She had to agree, and she would beat her even if she didn't agree. After being beaten for no reason, everyone helped each other back home with bruises and swollen faces. It would hurt for several days.
If they discuss her right and wrong, they will be beaten. What is hateful is that the disciples sometimes only talk about the old-age scandal between the third aunt who is a widow in the kitchen and the fifth uncle who grows flowers in the back mountain, and they will be beaten in the same way.
If you kneel down and beg for mercy, she will say that Beichen Sect disciples cannot beat you without any spine;
If you lie down and admit defeat, "I'll hit you if you want," she will beat you by saying, "I've never heard of such a request before and I must satisfy it."
If you were beaten a few days ago, she would say, "You should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation, let the junior sister learn whether the senior brother today is better than the senior brother of the previous few days," and then the beatings would start over and over again.
Everyone clamored to complain to Zeng Mansion. Cai Zhao said that everything was just a "discussion". What bad intentions could there be in competing with fellow disciples? Everyone had misunderstood, so Zeng Mansion couldn't say anything.
Everyone cried and complained to Song Yuzhi. Song Yuzhi would beat the disciples again with a sullen face, euphemistically calling it "repairing the situation after the sheep has been lost".
There was a lot of chatter, and the Qingque Sect suddenly became extremely quiet. The disciples could only focus on practicing martial arts and no longer dared to talk about people's rights and wrongs. For a while, Cai Zhao couldn't find anyone to discuss with, and he felt that this world was really lonely as snow.
One day, while walking all over the mountains, she unknowingly wandered into the Forest of Steles at the back of the mountain, where she found Uncle Li Wenxun standing in the middle, looking up blankly at the towering stone monuments.
This forest of steles is built on the back of a mountain. It is surrounded by overgrown weeds, desolate and cold. It is also dark and humid, with ghostly winds howling.
With such feng shui, the inscriptions on the stone tablets are naturally not heroic deeds, but the evil deeds of the evil disciples of the Qingque Sect in the past generations. Some of them deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, assassinated their fellow sects, practiced evil skills secretly, and betrayed the sect. Naturally, There are also those who collude with the Demon Cult...
Cai Zhao quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I have met Master Li."
Li Wenxun hummed and pointed to one of the blank stone tablets, "How about Qiu Renjie's story be engraved here?"
Cai Zhao was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant.
Li Wenxun said: "Qiu Renjie betrayed the sect, colluded with the Demon Sect, and plotted against the leader. He should be cut to pieces in front of all the disciples. Let him commit suicide, which is an advantage for him."
Cai Zhao remembered that Uncle Li was also in charge of the sect's criminal law, and inexplicably shrank his neck.
"Sinners abandon their corpses in the wilderness, and their evil deeds are made known to the world, and the heroes and martyrs' spirits are enshrined in Muwei Palace. Only in this way can good and evil be rewarded!" Li Wenxun turned his head, "Zhaozhao, although you are only in name in the sect, But we must always keep our laws in mind.”
Cai Zhao's forehead was dripping with sweat and he repeatedly claimed yes.
After being given an inexplicable hint, she returned to Chunling Xiaozhu dejectedly, and continued to live a peaceful life of practicing, fishing, reading story books, and occasionally "discussing" with her classmates.
Gradually, she seemed to have forgotten that eccentric person, that person who would cause her heartache.
Time flies, more than a month passes in a hurry, and the day to worship Chang is coming.
It is said that disciples should obey their elders when something happens. There are seven direct disciples under Qi Yunke. Except for the eldest disciple Zeng Daode, who wants to stay in the sect to take care of the general affairs, the other six are all sent out and go to Changjiabao to prepare for the ceremony.
After Qi Yunke, Zhou Zhizhen and Cai Pingchun reunited, the three heads went to pay homage together to show their respect for the deceased hero Chang Haosheng.
On the day of departure, six disciples headed by Dai Fengchi and more than ten disciples with high martial arts skills from the inner and outer sects bid farewell to Qi Yunke and went down the mountain.
The Chang family's mansion was originally located in a small town at the foot of Wu'an Mountain and belonged to a prominent local family. Later, in order to avoid Nie Hengcheng's killing, Chang Haosheng built a secret fort in Wu'an Mountain and moved his family up there.
Taichu Temple is not far from Wu'an Mountain, so after the disciples of the Qingque Sect arrived, they first delivered invitations to pay homage to the current leader Wang Yuanjing.
Ever since the tragedy of Wu Yuanying, Taichu Guan has been unable to hold its head high in the world. When someone shows their face, some people will come to ridicule openly or secretly, or lament Wu Yuanying's heroism back then, or scold Qiu Yuanfeng for his shamelessness. In short, they have made Taichu Guan disciples miserable. Extremely embarrassed.
After Wang Yuanjing took over as the head of the company, he simply closed his life and planned to avoid the limelight first.
When Dai Fengchi's invitation arrived, Wang Yuanjing happened to be refining elixirs and was unable to leave, so he ordered several disciples to guide the Qingque Sect to Wu'an Mountain. Li Yuanmin, the youngest of the Yuan generation, accompanied him excitedly.
Wu'an Mountain is right there and everyone can climb it, but no one knows where Changjia Wubao is in the mountain for more than ten years. Wu'an Mountain is another large mountain. To touch it inch by inch is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
