At this time, Li Rufeng didn't know about these changes. He protected Fang Lingyan, who was about to collapse, ashore. He saw his master being rescued by an old fisherman. He didn't know who it was, so he had to follow that direction to look for it, but he had to go everywhere. He was on guard and hiding everywhere, so his journey was very slow.
After doing this for more than ten days, Fang Lingyan gradually recovered, but the master was still nowhere to be found. Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan worked together to abandon the waterway and prepare to go to Hengshan by land. They did not encounter any dangers along the way.
The two of them thought that it was nothing serious, and thought that the thief must be coming after the master. Recently, I have heard more and more rumors about the assassination of the leader of the Five Mountains and the destruction of the sect. Everyone in the Hengshan sect, from the master's wife down, were killed. Could it be that this is a huge conspiracy? Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan had no way of knowing and could only find out when they returned to Hengshan.
That night, the two of them were looking for a place to stay when they suddenly saw a woman flying past carrying a large cloth bundle.
When he came back to his senses, he saw a young man in white chasing after him, but he was out of breath. When he met Fang Lingyan, he looked at her awkwardly for a few times, then looked at Li Rufeng, and continued to chase.
I heard the woman say: "You who have been stabbed a thousand times, why bother chasing me to the death?" Although she was moving forward in a hurry, she turned around and cursed, which was quite obvious. pretty.
Fang Lingyan thought it was a quarrel between the two of them, and she felt quite disgusted with the young man for a while, so she shouted loudly, "You are such a mangy dog chasing after this man!" After saying that, regardless of Li Rufeng's stop, she floated over to block the young man. the way to go.
"What did you say?" The young man was confused.
"Skinny dog, stinky hooligan" Fang Lingyan pouted.
"I'm sick...", the man replied, leaning over to get around.
"Still want to chase?" Fang Lingyan moved her body and blocked the front again. Just by moving around, the two of them were very close.
Fang Lingyan could feel the other party's heavy breathing. The young man seemed to be aware of this problem, and he was busy holding his breath, but his face turned red.
Fang Lingyan didn't know what to do next, so she had to take a step back and stretched out her palm to signal the other party not to move.
The young man frowned slightly and said angrily, "Are you in the same group?"
"Yes, we are in the same group, you are not allowed to bully her." Fang Lingyan started to get angry without realizing it.
"Seeing that you are so bright and kind-hearted, but you still don't learn well, do you know who she is?" The young man's face darkened, a little disappointed, and then slowly seemed to be disgusted.
"So what if it's your wife? You can't treat her like this." Fang Lingyan said with her lips raised.
"What? Get out of my way. Don't blame me for being rude if you keep talking nonsense." The young man was anxious. He looked at the woman who had disappeared deep into the path, and then at Cheng Yaojin who had come out halfway in front of him. He felt that For a moment, I really couldn't explain clearly, so I pushed Fang Lingyan away and ran away.
"Hey..." Fang Lingyan felt a huge provocation from being pushed like this. With a bang, she pulled out her sword and stabbed the man straight.
The young master felt a chill on his back and had to turn around to set up defense and fight with Fang Lingyan.
Fang Lingyan saw him looking in the direction where the woman was escaping from time to time. She deliberately laughed and said while fighting: "I said this young man, women need to be coaxed, don't you know?"
"Coax her to be a black-hearted mother? Are you crazy?" The young man felt that the woman in front of him was really crazy.
"Junior sister, stop it." Li Rufeng had already noticed that there was a misunderstanding.
"Black bride? Black-hearted bat...then you are a black-hearted man?" Fang Lingyan couldn't help but smile and stopped.
The black-hearted bat himself knew it. If he thought about it carefully, he found that the woman was really the black bride, and the person in front of him was definitely not the black-hearted man in his memory. If the person in front of me is really the Black Bride of the Black-Hearted Bat, it’s time for me to join in the fun and give chase.
The young man snorted and didn't answer. Seeing that the other party stopped, he turned around and continued chasing the black-hearted mother.
Fang Lingyan seemed to have remembered something, "Brother, please go back to Hengshan first. I have something to do!" After saying that, she also chased after him.
"Junior sister, you..." Li Rufeng sighed, not knowing what this junior sister was going to do. Come to think of it, although there are some rumors about Hengshan, they may not be true, and since the master was rescued by an expert, he must be able to protect him well. Now the only thing I need to worry about is this junior sister. Although she is not young, the master has not let her go out since she came to the mountain. Also, she has an upright temperament, so he does not dare to let her go out alone. Thinking of this section, Li Rufeng also chased after him.
The black-hearted lady had been chased for a short distance, and she was still carrying a baggage. Although her Qinggong was rarely matched in the world, but after a long time, Fang Lingyan's Qinggong was pretty good. After catching up, they gradually shortened the distance. Not long after we arrived at the boundary of De'an Mansion, we were tired and hungry, and could no longer run.
"Black Heart Mother, I didn't expect that I finally found you today. Take your life." Fang Lingyan was furious and struck Black Heart Mother's life gate with the three-foot Ling Yan Sword.
The black-hearted woman was startled, thinking that she had met an enemy, and escaping like this was not an option. She simply didn't want to run away, so why not end it here? With these few dolls, it was not that easy to take her own life. Seeing Fang Lingyan's sword stabbing her, she twisted her waist and dodged to the right. She drew out the crescent blades in each hand and rushed towards Fang Lingyan with a "yeah" sound.
The black-hearted lady was very good at light kung fu, but she didn't expect her martial arts to be bad either. After more than ten rounds, Fang Lingyan was already at a disadvantage. She was not in a hurry, because she knew that the young man was still behind.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Rufeng and the young master arrived one after another, and the three of them started fighting around the black-hearted mother. Although Black Heart Lady is not weak in martial arts, she is good at light kung fu after all. Usually, Black Heart Man takes action when fighting for evil, but now she has to take the responsibility on her own. Seeing that she will definitely suffer losses if she continues to fight like this, she thought about this deal This is really the biggest mistake in my life. This has already ruined the black heart. I can't just die like this. Shinichi Heng shouted "Stop" and threw away the weapon in his left hand.
Seeing the situation, Fang Lingyan also stopped her hand.
The black-hearted mother quickly took off the baggage with her left hand, and put the crescent blade on the baggage with her right hand. "You boys have been chasing me for so long, just to get this child. Now if you dare to touch me again, I will kill him."
Fang Lingyan and others looked at each other.
"Let the child go, or I will kill you. Tell me, where is the girl you snatched a few days ago?" the young man asked in an imposing manner.
"Girl, which girl?" The black bride was stunned. She didn't expect that this person had other things to do with her.
"You can't be so forgetful, right? For that girl, someone from Huashan sent someone to chase you for several days, and you were killed yesterday."
"Are you from Huashan?" Fang Lingyan became curious, but she didn't expect that this young master was from her own family.
"I'm Feng Yanlang from Songshan Mountain." The young master cupped his hands, but his eyes did not leave the black bride.
"This is Li Rufeng in Hengshan Mountain. This is my junior sister Fang Lingyan, who has offended me a lot just now." Li Rufeng said, but Fang Lingyan lowered her head at some point.
"Turns out we are classmates, we are glad to meet you." Feng Yanlang looked away slightly in surprise, smiled faintly, and then turned to Black Heart Mother; "Quickly tell me, where is that girl."
"It turns out that the girl is from Huashan. The old man must be Zeng Xuanying. No wonder he is so powerful. I wanted to take advantage of others' danger, but I didn't expect that if I stole the chicken, I would lose a lot of rice." The black-hearted mother said in her heart. "Hmph, he killed my husband-in-law, how could I let his daughter go?"
"What did you do to her? Tell me quickly or you won't blame me for being rude." Feng Yanlang was furious when he heard this and pointed his sword at the black-hearted mother.
"Nothing, just sold to a brothel."
"Then you accept your fate." Feng Yanlang raised his sword and stabbed him. The black-hearted mother turned to greet him with the baggage containing the child.
Feng Yanlang was startled and quickly stopped his hand. It was impossible for him to hurt a child for the sake of adults. He didn't want others to be as innocent as him.
"Hurry up and put this child down, or you will also see Black Heart Man." Fang Lingyan frowned slightly, and together with Li Rufeng, he surrounded Black Heart Woman in the middle.
Li Rufeng suddenly stabbed Hei Xin Niang with his sword. Because he caught the worry in the black-hearted mother's eyes at the moment Feng Yanlang drew his sword, he was betting that the black-hearted mother still had a trace of mercy. Of course, he dared to bet because he was confident that he could control it freely.
The black-hearted mother originally raised the child, but she wanted to imitate the scene just now and forced Li Rufeng to stop. Unexpectedly, Li Rufeng continued to send the sword without blinking an eye.
Li Rufeng was a famous fast sword in Hengshan with strong explosive power. It was impossible for Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan to stop this move. Seeing that the child was about to die, the two of them sighed and couldn't help complaining about Li Rufeng's recklessness.
Unexpectedly, the black-hearted mother was startled, her heart skipped a beat, she turned to one side and blocked it with her body.
Li Rufeng stopped his hand just as the sword edge touched Black Heart Mother's clothes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Okay, you have the guts." Black-hearted mother knew that the person in front of her was decisive and decisive, so she could only say truthfully, "I sold her to Huangzhou Mansion."
"Where is Huangzhou?" Feng Yanlang asked impatiently.
"I don't know about this. We are doing business in Hankou. Since we are regular customers, we know that the intermediary is from Huangzhou. You can find it yourself. People in our business never ask the buyer for details."
Feng Yanlang thought for a moment and said coldly: "I don't think you dare to lie to me, otherwise I will make you black-hearted bats disappear from the world."
"Hmph...I'm leaving." The black-hearted woman raised the corners of her mouth, threw the child away, and wanted to leave.
"Slow down", Fang Lingyan moved her body and blocked the path of the black-hearted mother, while Li Rufeng took the child with tacit understanding.
"Black-hearted mother, do you remember that your black-hearted bats kidnapped a little girl in Huainan twelve years ago?"
"Twelve years ago? Twelve years ago we sold so many girls, how can I remember?"
"Then you should always remember how one of your black-hearted men's legs was broken!" Fang Lingyan said.
"You...are you the girl who was rescued by Wang Zhaoren? She's so old..." Thinking of this, the black-hearted mother actually felt like she was meeting an old friend.
"To be honest, I quite liked that little girl at first and wanted to keep her, but that damn evil man insisted on selling her. However, I don't remember where she was sold. I only remember that it was in Hankou. It was handed over to an inn." The black-hearted woman's eyes were empty and gloomy, and her words were strange, as if she had seen through something.
"You really don't remember?" Li Rufeng threatened. He knew that this involved Fang Lingyan's painful experience, which was the most sensitive thing deep in her heart.
"You don't even know if you kill me. I have robbed and sold countless people in my life. Now I can take a break." The black-hearted mother smiled. For some reason, she saw the eyes of Feng Yanlang and Fang Lingyan when she used her body to save the little boy. Give her a pleasant feeling. She had indeed looked away from life and death, and her appearance of begging for death surprised everyone.
"Black-hearted mother, you black-hearted bat couple have done many evil things. It's time to pay your debts." Li Rufeng said loudly, his sword already raised. He has always hated evil and started to fight for others when he was a child. Although he was often beaten by others, he still got stronger and braver. It was not until he met Wang Zhaoren that he began his career of often beating others up.
"Slow...brother, there will be retribution for right and wrong. Although this black-hearted woman has done many evil things, she has never thought of harming anyone's life. It is said that she acted this way because her child was stolen. Moreover, she sacrificed her life just now." Save that child and ask Senior Brother to spare his life."
"Haha... I didn't expect that you actually have the heart of a Bodhisattva. Senior brother, you have to learn a lot." After hearing this, Fang Lingyan looked at Feng Yanlang with admiration. This man seemed to be serious, but he was actually a man of good deeds. The doer of good deeds immediately became happy, and then said: "Anyway, my sister and I can be regarded as being fished out of the Huai River by her. Senior brother, let's spare our lives for the time being."
Most of the girls her age were already wives, but she still played as much as she wanted. She also knew her own temperament and knew that she might not be able to get married in this life, so she simply followed her temper and met young men. He calls others "boy" and behaves like a big sister.
"Okay! Just follow what junior brother says. I will be a good person too!" Feng Yanlang and Li Rufeng are both disciples of the Confucian Five Mountains. Although their age is not specified at the moment, Li Rufeng thinks that he is older, so he calls him junior brother Feng Yanlang.
"I don't dare. I have long heard that Senior Brother Li is brave and heroic. I will ask for more advice in the future." Feng Yanlang was not good at words, but he felt close to Li Rufeng and others who were also members of the younger generation and came from the same school. Therefore, He became less restrained when he spoke, but his words had a sour taste.
The three of them took the child and let the black-hearted mother go. After talking all the way, we learned that Feng Yanlang encountered Black Heart Lady fighting with someone on the way after leaving Songshan. After saving the man, we found out that he was Qin He, a disciple of Huashan. Qin He and his master Zeng Xuanying were intercepted and killed by a group of masked men shortly after leaving Wudang. Later, the black-hearted bat took the opportunity to snatch Zeng Jinyi away. During the fight, Zeng Xuanying killed Hei Xinlang, but was also trapped by the chasing killer. Zeng Xuanying and other disciples fought tooth and nail to protect Qin He from escaping and asked him to rescue Zeng Jinyi. Qin He went all the way to track down the black bride. Unexpectedly, by the time he found the black-hearted mother, Zeng Jinyi had disappeared, and the black-hearted mother was robbing a child. He was seriously injured, could not fight, and was exhausted for many days, so he finally died. When he was dying, he met Feng Yanlang and asked him to help recover Zeng Jinyi.
Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan were shocked again by this statement, so they recounted their ordeal.
Feng Yanlang's expression was rather strange, and he couldn't resist the two men's questioning about the situation of the Songshan Sect. He finally told Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan: The Five Mountains were in chaos, Mount Tai might have been stolen by Liu Jingshan, and Mount Heng had also been occupied by the leaders of the Taishan Sect. I heard that Du Qinglan, the fourth uncle, was besieged by two groups. Despite her good cultivation, she was pierced by an embroidery needle from her left heel to her head and died miserably. "Everyone was really shocked when he said this.
Du Qinglan is a prodigy in terms of martial arts attainments. She is a member of the female class. Not only is she excellent at light kung fu, but she also has deep internal strength. She has created many martial arts of her own and it is not an exaggeration to be called a martial arts master. But now she was brutally murdered.
"So? It was Liu Jingshan who killed Fourth Master Uncle?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It is said that Fourth Master Uncle already knew that someone was going to oppose him, so he kept an eye out for it along the way. Only then did he escape the interception of the first group of people. As a result, Liu Jingshan's men were killed on the way. Master Du He escaped alone, was ambushed again, and then died, but Liu Jingshan went to Hengshan in advance under the guise of Taishan and captured Hengshan by surprise."
"Where's that group of people? Are they helping Liu Jingshan?" Fang Lingyan discovered something fishy.
"No, they fought with Liu Jingshan in Hengshan. As a result, the officers and soldiers arrived and the group withdrew." Feng Yanlang said this expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him, but he didn't realize that what he said seemed to be worse than usual. A lot more.
Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan looked at each other, wondering whether they should ask about Hengshan.
"It is said that Huashan was also destroyed by the masked group you mentioned. The fifth uncle was poisoned and fought hard to death. And your master...the uncle was seriously injured and escaped. Hengshan may also..." Feng Yanlang paused and lowered his head. , looked up again and saw Fang Lingyan's eager eyes, bit her lip, and continued: "I'm afraid Hengshan is gone too."
"What?" Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan were shocked. Although there had been rumors, they still couldn't believe it when Feng Yanlang said this.
"To be honest with you, my father had already arranged for someone to attack you when you were still in the martial arts." Feng Yanlang lowered his head and turned his back.
"Your father? Uncle Second Master? So he took people to our Hengshan Mountain?" Fang Lingyan almost went crazy when she heard this, it was so sudden.
"No...yes", Feng Yanlang didn't know how to answer. While the Five Sacred Sects were discussing scriptures in Wudang, Feng Ji secretly ordered his disciples to go to Hengshan to launch a raid and destroy Hengshan. Although Feng Ji did not lead the people there, but The blame is not Feng Ji, but who else.
"What happened to my junior brother and the others? How did you know this?" Although Li Rufeng was shocked and hurt, he still endured his grief and tried to figure out this matter.
"I'm not very clear about your junior brother's situation. I overheard all this, so I had a quarrel with my father and left Songshan."
"Feng Yanlang... please tell me clearly, what is going on? Is your father crazy?" Fang Lingyan was still furious, and the Lingyan sword was already placed on Feng Yanlang's neck.
Feng Yanlang met Fang Lingyan's eyes and quickly looked away, "Sister, I don't understand this either. As far as I know, my father is probably colluding with the imperial court and Liu Jingshan."
"Junior sister, please don't get excited. From what I can see, this matter has been planned for a long time and is beyond the control of Junior Brother Feng." After all, Li Rufeng had rich experience and thought more.
"Yes, there are at least three uneasy forces in the world now. One is my father, one is Liu Jingshan, and the other is the group of masked killers. But I don't know if these three forces are colluding." Feng Yanlang said.
"Liu Jingshan is the son of Liu Yuquan, the former master of Taishan. Twenty-two years ago, the third uncle took Taishan and kept Liu Jingshan. He accepted him as his disciple and taught him Confucian martial arts. It became a good story in the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, This person has been dormant in secret, and now he has been restored. Although it is a pity, there are traces to be found. And your Songshan sect has always been a Confucian school, and your father and our master are brothers, so why do you want to collude with them?" Li Rufeng continued Feng Yanlang's analysis. .
Feng Yanlang had nothing to say. He didn't understand this matter in the first place. Even if he did, he didn't understand his father, just like his father Feng Ji didn't understand him.
Fang Lingyan heard that Feng Ji was not a good person at all. She wanted to vent her anger on Feng Yanlang, but she stared at it for a moment but was reluctant to let go. She said: "You kid, sister, I wanted you to look good, but... I'll spare your life in front of the child, and wait until you send her back to her hometown to take her to death."
Feng Yanlang stared at Fang Lingyan with wide eyes, like a child who had made a mistake accepting criticism from an elder. Suddenly, he felt a sense of awe in his heart. At this time, he walked down the slope and said, "What about sister Jinyi?"
But Fang Lingyan smiled and said, "Leave it to Senior Sister."
Feng Yanlang didn't know why Fang Lingyan suddenly laughed again, but he just said, "Then I'll go first, senior brother and senior sister, take care." After taking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around and said: "Senior brother and senior sister, you'd better not go back to Hengshan. "
Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan calculated that if it was true as Feng Yanlang said, they would not be able to get to Hengshan. After much deliberation, the most important thing was to go to Huangzhou to look for Zeng Jinyi first. Then, while inquiring about the whereabouts of the master's wife, he returned to Xiangyang to look for the master.
