'Moon Shadow by the Lake' was not the first Zhou family swordsmanship move he taught Cai Pingshu. The first move he taught Cai Pingshu was 'Hill Moon Full Moon'. His young fiancée learned it immediately and was very smart.
It was not the last trick he taught. The last time he taught Cai Pingshu, she was already fourteen years old. That move was 'Moonlight in the Sky', which was extremely powerful, but she refused to learn it even after learning it halfway.
The girl leaned against the tree with her sword in hand: "Brother Zhizhen, this is just the ordinary Zhou family's swordsmanship. This move 'Moonlight in the Sky' is the key to the Zhou family's swordsmanship. It's not good to let others learn it."
"How can you be considered 'someone else'?" The young man smiled, completely unaware of the look on his fiancée's face.
Why doesn't she want to learn?
At that time, she had not yet stepped out of Peiqiong Villa. Could it be that she had already vaguely guessed that the marriage would not be possible.
Cai Zhao came around with another 'Moon Shadow by the Lake'.
Zhou Zhizhen was in a trance. In the haze, Cai Zhao's figure seemed to have transformed into the teenage Cai Pingshu...
The Peiqiong Villa has been established for two hundred years, and the Zhou family's swordsmanship has naturally been continuously improved and supplemented. The "Moon Shadow by the Lake" was created by the fourth-generation owner of the Villa when he and his wife were walking by the lake. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and their love after marriage was affectionate and undying until death. It is a good story in the Zhou family and even the world.
Cai Pingshu, who has always been easy to master, was particularly stupid when learning the "Moon Shadow by the Lake" trick. He always failed to practice it well, and repeatedly needed guidance and correction from his fiancé.
The young man was quite amused. After he pointed it out a few times, he couldn't help but joke, "Sister Pingshu, what's wrong? You can learn the most difficult moves three times at most. Why do you always do such a simple move as 'Moon Shadow by the Lake'?" Forgetting things?"
In the bright spring courtyard, the girl said nothing, looking at her with deep and lingering eyes that seemed to be filled with joy and anger.
He seems to have seen such a look before? When and where?
The past events came to mind, and Zhou Zhizhen was shocked. He remembered——
When Cai Pingshu smiled and stared at the beaded flower hosta under the lamp, he had the same look in his eyes, deep in his bones, half happy and half angry.
It turned out that she had looked at him with the same look.
So when did she stop looking at herself so much?
Was it after he had advised his fiancée countless times not to get along with his harsh mother? Or is it after he has experienced "a bowl of water" between his fiancée and his cousin again and again?
The girl's originally eager eyes gradually cooled down, and she began to run away non-stop. The time she spent in Peiqiong Villa became less and less. The childhood sweethearts who once promised to be engaged eventually became old friends who interacted with each other on a daily basis.
Zhou Zhizhen's breathing became rapid, and his sword posture became messy.
There was a bang, and the swords struck each other - Cai Zhao struggled to get closer with the blade, and when he was half a foot away from Zhou Zhizhen, he opened his mouth, and the small golden whistle hung along the chain around her neck.
She said word by word, "My aunt said that it's not wrong to like someone. But if that person doesn't like you the same way, then don't like him for too long!"
Zhou Zhizhen's sea of qi surged, the past events were vivid in his mind, and the deep-seated pain hit his heart like a mountain torrent.
Cai Zhao seized on this flaw, raised his sword to split the edge of the sword, and struck Zhou Zhizhen's chest at the Tanzhong point with his left palm.
Zhou Zhizhen was so exhausted that he spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood. He weakly leaned against the wall and fell to the ground. His heart was in confusion, and he was just thinking over and over again - how she felt when she disappointed Sister Pingshu again and again. Are you as sad and lonely as when you discovered Mu Zhengyang's existence?
The roaring around him gradually stopped, and all the heavy rain and thunder were ignited.
Because both the main entrance and the side door of the main hall were blocked by exploded bricks, the disciples outside the hall were unable to enter for a while, but Yang Heying and Li Yuanmin had already shaken off the dust and came towards Cai Zhao with great momentum.
Zhou Zhizhen fell to the ground. Cai Zhao didn't pause for a moment. He turned around and swung his knife several times. All the iron chains and shackles on Mu Qingyan's body broke. Ning Xiaofeng hissed: "Zhao Zhao, don't be confused!"
"It doesn't matter if she's confused, I'll teach her a lesson!" Yang Heying charged at her with a grin.
Cai Zhao turned around quickly, drew a semicircle with his blade, and pressed down heavily on the charging sword.
Yang Heying's arm trembled, and he felt a slight numbness. He thought to himself that this little maidservant's kung fu was so powerful. He put away his contempt, shook his wrist, trembled the tip of his sword, and stabbed the girl's left arm.
Cai Zhao still did not resist, but continued to strike horizontally with the sword. The back of the sword swung heavily against the edge of the sword. At the same time, he bit the silent golden whistle again and blew it with all his strength.
Yang Heying was knocked away by two consecutive moves. When he was angry, his sword moves became more dense and compact, like a violent storm. However, Cai Zhao turned over and over and only used the horizontal character formula in Cai Pingshu's "Da Feng Chuan Po Qing Sword Technique", left Right and left, he used the back of the sword to touch the opponent's sword edge. However, the Yanyang Sword was a magic weapon in the world, and Yang Heying's sword could not cut it.
At this time, Li Yuanmin finally arrived and stabbed Cai Zhao in the back with his sword.
In order to avoid the attack from behind, Cai Zhao moved his right shoulder sideways, and his left shoulder suddenly showed a flaw. Yang Heying was overjoyed, because the sword in his right hand had just been swung away by the Yanyang Sword, so he made the Sword Art with his left hand, split his arms and went away, snap The sound hit Cai Zhao on the left shoulder.
Cai Zhao groaned, and his left shoulder cracked, showing that part of the bone was broken.
Mu Qingyan's eyes were red, and he struggled to get up, but he had been seriously injured for many days and had a high fever, and now he had no strength at all.
Song Yuzhi almost rushed out, but Song Shijun lowered his voice desperately and said: "When you go out at this time, do you want to block her, or help her save people! Hold it back, hold it back!"
Yang Heying was about to feel proud when he suddenly felt that he lacked energy and could not continue to reach the palm of his hand.
He looked down blankly and saw that at some point Cai Zhao had four shiny Luanpo needles clamped between the fingers of his left palm. Half of the four needles were inserted into the large acupoint 'Qimen' on his waist and abdomen.
Yang Heying's body was sore and numb, unable to move, he shouted dully: "No...ok..."
Cai Zhao got angry and turned over and slashed diagonally. Blood spattered immediately. Yang Heying was stabbed straight from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. His skin and flesh were torn and blood flowed like a stream.
Yang Heying screamed and fell down, but everyone in the hall with their eyes open, including himself, saw that Cai Zhao was merciful. Otherwise, with the sharpness of the Yanyang knife, it would not be difficult to cut Yang Heying in half.
Cai Zhaoqiang endured the severe pain in his left shoulder and turned to face Li Yuanmin. In just ten moves, he only heard a snap sound. Li Yuanmin's long sword was cut off by the Yanyang knife, and his shoulder was struck by a blow. He was no longer able to hold the hilt of the sword.
At this time, another burst of bricks and rubble fell from above everyone's heads. Looking up, they saw figures flashing on the top of the temple. It turned out that it was the disciples outside the temple who had climbed onto the roof.
Just now they saw that the doors and windows of the main hall were blocked after being blown apart. After a few people were left to continue smashing the doors, the remaining people remembered that there were two small skylights on the roof of the main hall.
Unexpectedly, when I climbed up and took a look, I happened to find a big hole in the roof, which was more suitable for a large number of people to get in.
Just as the disciples outside the hall were happily climbing in, they suddenly heard a sharp roar of birds of prey outside the sky, and there was more than one.
Everyone looked up and saw two huge golden-winged rocs fluttering their wings that were more than ten feet long. The strong wind violently hit the disciples, and some of them screamed and rolled down the roof.
The two golden-winged rocs had sharp beaks, two claws like iron hooks, and their wings were extremely powerful. They either flapped at low altitude, or stopped at Liang Yu, fanning from left to right, constantly slapping the disciples down on the roof. .
Cai Zhao looked at the two huge golden figures, finally let go of the golden whistle in his mouth, and smiled tiredly.
She was waiting under the big hole. For the disciples who fell into the hall, she would either pick their shoulders with her sword, or lightly scratch their arms with the blade, injuring them one by one and kicking them aside.
Li Wenxun couldn't move, and he was so angry that he roared with all his strength: "Cai Zhao, you are like this!"
Ning Xiaofeng was afraid that something might happen to her unconscious husband, so she kept holding Cai Pingchun and did not dare to let go. She could only scream: "Zhaozhao, you can't make any more mistakes, come back!"
Cai Zhao didn't look back and continued to injure the fallen disciples.
She has been unable to look back for a long time. Ever since she asked to see Mu Qingyan yesterday, she has no intention of looking back——
Yesterday, I entered the dungeon and took the small golden whistle from Mu Qingyan's neck. The whistle was inaudible to human ears, but the golden-winged roc could;
Then she begged to go to Changjia Wubao. She and Mu Qingyan were very tired after searching the Changjia ancestral graves and had to go down the mountain at night, so they left the seven or eight extra Rainstorm Thunders behind and buried them in a corner of the cemetery. , she dug it out again when Fan Xing’s family was unprepared during the worship ceremony yesterday;
Then, she knocked Fan Xingjia unconscious in the middle of the night and disguised herself as him. At that time, all the disciples patrolling the temple were disciples of various sects. Even the Qingque Sect was mostly disciples of the outer sect. No one was familiar with Fan Xingjia, so it was difficult to find out in the dark. To distinguish the authenticity, she took this opportunity to call the two golden rocs close by with a golden whistle, and sneaked into the Zhengyuan Hall, hiding rainstorms and thunder in various key places, and at the same time, she sprinkled some laxatives in the kitchen outside. A disciple who can hold a sword is also good;
When he got up early the next morning, he first gave his father Cai Pingchun some Suma powder, and finally stirred up Zhou Zhizhen's memories of the past with his words.
——Hehe, Luo Ying Valley really has bad feng shui and is rich in 'witches and witches'.
Look at her, in just a few days, she came up with such a vicious plan to deceive her master and destroy her ancestors!
At this time, except for three or two disciples who continued to fight Jin Peng, the roof was basically cleared.
Cai Zhao swung the silver chain on his left wrist and wrapped it around Mu Qingyan's waist. When he pulled it, his shattered left shoulder burst into sharp pain. Mu Qingyan himself turned pale and shouted "Zhao Zhao" without any effort. , and then I couldn’t talk anymore.
Cai Zhao smiled and said, "It's already here, you won't tell me 'forget it' anymore."
Mu Qingyan bit her thin lips and looked at the girl intently, as if she wanted to imprint her appearance into his heart.
Cai Zhao sheathed the sword, jumped onto the roof, and then used his right hand to pull Mu Qingyan up.
Ning Xiaofeng watched helplessly as her daughter was about to leave, and she screamed, "Zhaozhao, where are you going!"
She thought of the fate of the "witches and witches" in the Luoying Valley, all of which were never heard from again. She was afraid that her daughter would also follow the same path and never return. She couldn't help but cry with tears streaming down her face, calling loudly, "Zhaozhao, don't leave. , what will you do if you leave! Can you come back if you leave? Zhaozhao, don’t leave, Zhaozhao..."
Song Yu was stunned. In his impression, Ning Xiaofeng had always been proud, unruly, and pampered. He had never seen her cry like this.
Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly felt a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that his own father had suddenly stood up. Under Pang Xiongxin's blank gaze, he shouted above his head, "Cai Zhao, you heartless girl. , if you want to let Mu go, just let him go, but you are not allowed to go!"
Mu Qingyan also heard Ning Xiaofeng's cry, and turned to look at the girl above in a daze. His heart was in a mess. He wanted to drag her away so that she would be alone from now on, but he also wanted her to go back and reunite his family.
At this time, a teardrop hit Mu Qingyan's face heavily.
He looked up and saw the girl leaning over the roof beam, tears falling, but she gritted her teeth and continued to lift Mu Qingyan.
He seemed to hear a corner of his heart collapse.
Seeing that shouting was useless, Song Shijun immediately used Qi Yun Gong, pulled out the four or five Luan Po Needles, and then struck the boulder at the gate with both palms. The Song Dynasty Gate Master’s decades of skill were no small feat. With just a few booms, the huge stone at the door that had been dug into pieces shattered, and the disciples outside the hall swarmed in. At this time, Cai Zhao had already pulled Mu Qingyan up. Jin Peng's back is gone.
"Idiot, what are you doing in here!" Song Shijun shouted at his disciples, "Go out and shoot arrows, shoot those two golden-haired beasts!"
However, it was too late. In the shower of arrows shot by the disciples, the two golden-winged rocs flapped their wings and flew higher and farther.
Song Shijun was helpless when facing Ning Xiaofeng, who was crying in tears. He had no choice but to turn around and run towards Li Wenxun. He stripped off the Luanpo needle with all his hands and feet. After pushing the palace to pass the blood, Li Wenxun jumped up with all his strength. His eyes were about to burst with anger. .
"Come here, where is the leader? Chase me out quickly!" Li Wenxun pressed Qi Yunke's shoulder with one hand and said through gritted teeth, "Master, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds."
Then he announced in a deep voice in front of the leaders and disciples of the six sects: "Cai Zhao colluded with the demon sect, deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, killed his elders, and maimed his fellow sect members. His crime is unforgivable! Please issue a pursuit order quickly and call for action from all sects. Martial arts comrades from all over the world work together to capture or kill the leader of the Demon Cult, Mu Qingyan, and Beichen’s villain Cai Zhao!”
Ning Xiaofeng screamed and passed out, Qi Yunke showed a look of pain, Zhou Zhizhen closed his eyes, and Yang Heying wished he could jump up and lead the pursuit himself.
Pang Xiongxin walked quietly to Song Shijun and whispered: "Master, it's not good that things are so big..."
Song Shijun stroked his beard and said coquettishly: "Actually, I didn't expect that the little girl would be so cruel. Alas, I don't know. Let's take it step by step. Yuzhi, where is Yuzhi?"
The two turned around to search and saw Song Yuzhi standing alone in the center.
He stared blankly up at the skyline exposed from the hollow roof. It was so clear and blue, so high and vast, and so determined that he would never return.
Chapter 120
The wilderness is cold, at the foot of a remote mountain, with broken carriages and sick horses. Next to it is a long-dilapidated mountain temple.
Cai Zhao lit a bonfire for the seventeenth time in her life. When she saw that the fire was stable, she put down the dead branches and flints, carefully put in the firewood one by one, and then went to the bed beside the stone pillar.
Mu Qingyan, who was sleeping, frowned, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He noticed the girl's approach and unconsciously grabbed her sleeves to feel better - this was already much better than when he first escaped. Mu Qingyan was simply sleeping in a nightmare.
It has been ten days since I broke out of Taichu Temple that day.
Sitting on the back of the golden-winged roc, facing the rapid air current, the two of them would not be afraid on normal days. However, at that time, Mu Qingyan was extremely weak and his hands and feet were weak, so Cai Zhao had to tie him to his side with a silver chain.
He wanted to fly to the sky in one go, but only half a day later, the Jin Peng flew lower and lower. Cai Zhao discovered that the soft abdomen and armpits of both Jin Peng were hit by several arrows. Although the wounds were not deep, the wounds were still there. Bleeding.
It is said that the archers of Guangtianmen are fierce, fast and unparalleled in the world. Only then did Cai Zhao realize the lesson.
Mu Qingyan, who was leaning on her, noticed that he had fallen to the ground and heard the girl say that Jin Peng was injured. He said in a daze, "...They will find a place to heal themselves. Let's go to Lingjian Mountain to hide."
Lingjian Mountain is located on the shore of the wilderness at the end of a branch on the east bank of Suchuan River. Cai Zhao and Mu Qingyan had seen it from a distance when they were searching the world for the two heroes of the Shi family.
After letting the two golden-winged rocs fly away, Cai Zhao found that the two of them were empty-handed and had nothing to use, so he had to hide Mu Qingyan somewhere in the wild and cover it with dead branches and leaves before using Qinggong to go to the nearby town. Buy necessary items online.
