Tie Zheng Daoyuan smiled bitterly and said: "We really caught them one by one, but instead of catching the whole mountain at once, we caught them one by one."
Sima Qingyun continued: "The three of us were defeated by Fei Hongzi and lost the Hunyuan Peak of Kongtong West Mountain. Therefore, after hearing that the Demon Sect was going to convene a meeting of the Nine Sects, the reason why we had to avoid the battle was to win or lose. , it is true that Kongtong Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism cannot represent the entire Central Plains Wulin, and we are not willing to lose to the Demon Sect again and leave an excuse to slander the Central Plains Wulin."
Old Mojing comforted him: "Qingyun, you don't need to explain more. I think all the heroes here naturally know your painstaking efforts. You just want to tell me what happened next?"
Sima Qingyun crossed his hands and said yes, and continued: "I am ashamed to say that the first Kongtong disciple who was captured came from the Xuankong Sect of my Zixiao Palace - that disciple heard that the demons were about to roar at Kongtong Mountain, and he was afraid. , and escaped overnight. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, this man was tied up with five flowers and hung on a big tree outside the gate of Zixiao Palace. There was also a wooden board hanging on his chest with the word 'shameless' engraved on it."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself that this "mysterious man" senior had always cherished his words like gold, and couldn't help but feel amused.
Zhuge Jingxu said: "Similar things happened to the Divine Fist Sect later on, but not only the disciples who fled, but also the disciples who were sent to report to various sects in the Central Plains were captured and hung on trees."
Jiang Shuo saw Tie Zheng Daoyuan also nodding. He must have encountered such a thing in Feilongmen.
Zhuge Jingxu said: "At first we all thought it was Fei Hongzi and the Demon Cult, because the words on the chests of the people who were hung on the tree were vague words like 'shameless' and 'rat', which led to everyone's misunderstanding. It was the Demon Sect that was on guard against people from the three Kongtong sects going to the Central Plains to beg for help, and that is why I was not allowed to send my disciples out of the mountains."
"So, we arranged for the disciples to go out together. On that day, more than a dozen people went out together. As a result, they were all captured the next day and hung neatly on both sides of the road outside the Taoist Palace. These The words hanging around people's necks are strung together into one sentence, which reads: Kongtong, rats, fear, demonic religion, forbidden, escape, violators, hang on a tree, show to the public."
Sima Qingyun said: "At this point, we know that we are not allowed to leave Kongtong Mountain to avoid the Demon Sect. It must not be the fault of the Demon Sect, but this mysterious person behaves strangely, whether it is a disciple who escaped or someone we sent out to ask for help. , no matter how many people there were in a group, they were all hung on the tree without exception."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This person's behavior is very different from Beimingzi's. Is there really a master in the world who is as powerful as Beimingzi?
Zhuge Jingxu said: "We no longer want to run away at this time, but we need to invite famous sects from all over the world to come to help us. We cannot see the mysterious man. Although the disciples who went out to ask for help had letters on them, the mysterious man never The body searches were all done in a sneak attack and then hung directly on the tree, and the disciple who delivered the message could not identify himself."
Sima Qingyun said: "We can't be sure whether this person is an enemy or a friend. Does he want us to stay to trap us to death, or to let us fight to the death with the Demon Cult? But he never shows up, and we can't find him." He asked for more information, and finally I thought of a way, which is to hold a fasting ceremony in Zixiao Palace to clarify my ambitions to this mysterious man."
Everyone couldn't help but smile after hearing this. The Three Saints of Kongtong actually thought of using a ritual to reward the gods to communicate with this hidden master. It was sad and funny at the same time.
However, Sima Qingyun had no joking expression and said seriously: "I went up to the altar, burned incense and prayed, saying that we are determined to stay in Kongtong and fight the Demon Cult, but we need to send people to deliver messages throughout the Central Plains. I pray like this again and again. , but the mysterious man still refused to show up. I thought maybe he was not a Taoist disciple, and the Taoist temple in the Lotus Temple was ineffective, and finally he burned his watch to reward heaven in the Taoist Palace, but he suddenly appeared."
Cheng Qianli said: "Master Sima, didn't you say you have never seen that mysterious man? Now that he has appeared, haven't you seen him?"
Sima Qingyun said: "I said that he showed up because he finally sent us a message. That day, Mr. Zhuge was praying in the Taoist Palace, and suddenly a paper ball was thrown in."
Zhuge Jingxu said: "It said, 'Those who sent a message for help can leave.' Then another paper was thrown, 'It needs to be registered in the main hall.' I guess the mysterious person appears and disappears, so naturally there is a way to check."
Sima Qingyun said: "After that, the mysterious man used paper balls to communicate with us, but he only threw paper balls in the Taoist Palace. He only hung up people elsewhere and no longer left notes."
Cheng Qianli said: "Master Sima, won't you follow the paper ball and find this person's trace?"
Tie Zheng Dogen said: "Why didn't you find it? From the time he threw the first paper ball, we kept searching in the direction, but apart from being humiliated by him constantly throwing paper balls, we couldn't find any trace of him. "
Jiang Shuo had also chased him twice, and knew that this man's self-lighting skills were truly outstanding, and he was the best in the world. It was expected that the Three Saints of Kongtong could not find him.
Sima Qingyun said: "We kept looking for him, but the mysterious man was angered. One day he threw a ball of paper and said that all of us had been poisoned. He also said that Young Master Jiang of the Jianghu Alliance had arrived in Pingliang City and asked us to kill him. He took Kongtong Mountain with him and taught us how to speak."
Jiang Shuo knew that this rhetoric was that the Demon Sect wanted to drive the three religions out of Kongtong Mountain. In fact, if the Nine Sects Conference really had a conspiracy, it would not mean that the three religions would indeed be destroyed. If the Three Saints told him the truth, , he will definitely go up the mountain, this mysterious man is really unnecessary.
But then he thought again. He and Lu Yuxuan and others had agreed to arrive at Pingliang City, find Elder Ruixi, and immediately rush to Lanzhou Jincheng. If the Kongtong Sect didn't use extraordinary means, maybe he and Elder Ruixi had left Pingliang City. . It seems that this mysterious expert has been monitoring Jiang Shuo and their every move for a long time.
Ye Guizhen heard Sima Qingyun say that everyone had been poisoned, so he put his hand on Sima Qingyun's wrist, held it for a long time, and said: "Brother Qingyun, I see that your pulse is stable and strong, and there is no sign of poisoning at all."
Ye Guizhen was born in the Ye family of Nanyang, so he naturally knew some Qihuang studies.
Sima Qingyun said: "Master Ye, Qingyun also knows a little bit about medical skills. I can't detect when I was poisoned or what the symptoms are. But the mysterious man threw a paper ball and taught me how to transport Qi to Kinmen, Jianjing, and Jianyu." , Tianliao four points, these four points belong to the four meridians of Foot Taiyang, Shaoyang and Hand Taiyang, Shaoyang. Logically, it should feel warm. However, when the internal force is injected into the four points, the Fengfu in the back of the head of the Governor Vessel suddenly I felt a chill in my acupuncture points. The more internal energy injected into the four acupoints, the colder the back of my head became. Sure enough, I didn’t know when I was hit by a cold poison." 33
Everyone thought it made sense after hearing this. The four meridians of the hands and feet belong to Yang, and the Du Vein also belongs to the Yang meridians. How come the acupuncture points of the Du Vein become cold when Qi is transferred to the four Yang meridians? It seems that this mysterious man's poisoning skills are both clever and weird.
Jiang Shuo said, "Headmaster Sima, three saints, you may have been deceived. It is true that the four points of Jinmen, Jianjing, Jishu, and Tianliao all belong to the yang vein, but the human body has a yang dimension, and the yang meridian acupoints can be When the cross-meridian is tied together, the Yang dimension can overflow and store Qi and blood. On the contrary, if the acupoints connected to the Yang dimension are closed, the Yang Qi of the Du Meridian will be insufficient and there will be a chill. The higher the internal force injected into the four acupoints, the stronger the chill will be."
Sima Qingyun looked at Jiang Shuo in disbelief and said, "Sima has some medical skills, but he has never heard of the idea of overflowing qi and blood."
Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "I have a method to prove it. I ask three of you to input internal energy into the Zhubin, Fushe, and Qimen acupoints at the same time."
These three points belong to the three meridians of Foot Shaoyin, Foot Taiyin and Foot Jueyin. However, one of the three points is on the legs, one on the abdomen, and one on the chest and side. It can be said that they have no overlap. The three saints of Kongtong looked at each other. Eyes, I don't know what Jiang Shuo means, Jiang Shuo smiled and said: "You three will know after a try."
The three of them had no choice but to close their eyes and follow the same example. All three of them had extraordinary internal energy. It was not difficult for them to inject internal energy into the three meridians at the same time. The three of them only used their internal energy for a while before they suddenly felt a stream of heat appearing from nowhere. , straight to the Lianquan point of the throat.
Sima Qingyun was shocked! This Lianquan belongs to the Ren channel, and the method taught by Jiang Shuo was to inject internal energy into the acupoints of the Yin channel, but instead generated heat in the Ren channel.
The three of them all knew more or less about medical skills and knew that it was impossible for a person to suffer from both cold and heat poisons. Moreover, although Jiang Shuo's Qi Yun method was opposite to the method taught by the mysterious man, the method was the same. , Mysterious Man's internal energy is injected into the Yang Vein to produce cold, Jiang Shuo's internal energy is injected into the Yin Vein to produce warmth.
It seems that there are indeed so-called "yang dimensions" and "yin dimensions" that hold the various yang and yin channels together. Jiang Shuo didn't know that he had unknowingly revealed the superb insights on the storage and transportation of physical energy in the Jade Jue to everyone present. Although it was just a sentence, it caused everyone to fall into deep thought, not to mention the three saints of Kongtong and Heroes in the world of martial arts, even masters like Old Man Mojing, have benefited from it.
Everyone was silent for a long time before Sima Qingyun slowly said: "That's true. It seems that we have all been deceived by this mysterious man."
At this time, Tie Zheng Daoyuan also cursed: "This thief deceived us..."
Today, the Three Saints of Kongtong talked for a long time, but the mysterious master did not stop him. Last time, Tiezheng Daoyuan only said a few words and he tapped his acupoints with paper balls. I don't know if he is really afraid of Old Man Mojing and Ye Guizhen, or if he thinks there is nothing wrong with what the Three Saints of Kongtong said today.
However, as soon as Tie Zheng Daoyuan said these words, he finally brushed against the mysterious man's back scale. Before Daoyuan finished speaking, a paper ball was thrown into his mouth impartially. Although it was just a light paper ball, it was The beating made his tongue numb and teeth shaking, and blood flowed from his mouth. It was very scary.
Everyone was still in shock. Jiang Shuo and Old Mo Jing had already flown out of the house. The two reacted so quickly that they were almost stunned. Jiang Shuo saw a white figure crossing the courtyard wall in front of him and hurriedly jumped over the courtyard wall. However, the courtyard Behind the wall is a small courtyard. Except for a small well in the courtyard, there are rooms with closed doors on all sides. There is not a tree or a bush of grass.
The old man Mo Jing opened the doors one by one, only to see that these rooms had not been used for a long time, and the ground was covered with dust. If someone came in, no matter how high your Qing Gong was, it would be impossible not to leave any traces. He exited the room and saw Jiang Shuo shaking his head at him, knowing that Jiang Shuo had found nothing - the mysterious man disappeared out of thin air again.
Some people died, but not completely...
