In the dark night, a fierce fight broke out on the top of Dongchong Mountain. Two flying swords crisscrossed each other, a splitting ax suddenly joined in, and a human head flew up.
Several screams rang out one after another, and under the cover of night, several figures rose and fell, quickly going down the mountain.
The sentry point set up by the Chu army on the top of the mountain was removed. One Qi master and five Chu soldiers were killed on the top of the mountain. It was Dong Da, Suo Laosan and Zhang Xiaokeng who did it.
Wu Sheng watched silently from a nearby high point and nodded with satisfaction. After two years of not seeing each other, Suo Laosan has also broken through and become a senior Qi practitioner, which is really gratifying.
Watching them successfully escape, Wu Sheng's attention was quickly attracted by the fire on the West Chong Mountain next to him. The fire had a faint light green color. If he remembered correctly, it should be a little boy under Dao Nan She's command. Wu Sheng couldn't remember the name of the small village leader because of the village's initiative, but he still had some impression of the jade phosphorus fire.
In a night attack on the mountain, the opponent is only a Chu army chariot sergeant and five ordinary soldiers, and the Chu army is defenseless. There is no problem in success. The key firelight is exposed, so don't be blocked on the top of the mountain.
This ball of fire immediately attracted the attention of the Chu people at the foot of the mountain who were marching out of the military camp. In the night, several Chu soldiers could be seen leaping and climbing up the cliffs. The top of the mountain is not very high, and the first few senior Chu Army sergeants will soon reach the top.
Wu Sheng took out his silver moon bow and was about to prepare his arrows to fire when a dense cloud of feathered arrows suddenly shot out from the top of the mountain. The arrows were as sharp as meteors.
Several Chu army sergeants who were approaching the top of the mountain were immediately shot over and fell from the top of the mountain.
Wu Sheng vaguely remembered that this shower of meteors and arrows seemed to be the specialty of Lu Kuan, Lu Fang's disciple. He shot it from a high position, displaying its power to the fullest.
This battle was fought well and the concept was quite clever. Wu Sheng couldn't help but praise it and put away the Silver Moon Bow again.
By the time the Chu generals at the foot of the mountain came up with heavy troops, the people in Mangdang Mountain had long disappeared, and they could only collect the corpses.
That Chu general was in the realm of refining gods. Wu Sheng's heart moved and he opened the silver-moon bow, but after thinking for a moment, he closed it.
The silver-moon bow is a powerful weapon with obvious characteristics. If you take advantage of the chaos or wait for the Chu general to be alone, the chance of being discovered is not high. However, there are too many Chu troops on the mountain at this moment, and an arrow can be fired in full view of everyone. Shoot it, I really can’t say whether it’s right or wrong.
Ever since Shen Zhuliang died in Yingdu, Wu Sheng has always had inexplicable worries in his heart. He didn't know how Shen Zhuliang died? How much does he know about himself? Did he tell others about himself before or after his death? Are there any records left? To what extent does Jixia Academy understand itself now?
These hidden worries have always lingered in his mind, which is why he did not dare to return to Mangdang Mountain openly. If his exposure attracts the attention of Jixia Academy, it will have disastrous consequences for Mangdang Mountain.
Wu Sheng resisted the itching of his hands and let General Chu leave, sighing secretly.
That night, the two observation posts placed by the Chu army on the East and West Chong Mountains were destroyed, resulting in the loss of five sergeants and ten soldiers.
The loss was not big, but the impact on the Chu army was not small. The Chu people immediately re-adjusted the arrangement of sentries on the hilltop, canceling more than a dozen scattered sentries and merging them into five, and strengthened them without affecting the sentinels. The power of every key post.
With one senior Qi Master as the leader, five Qi Masters as assistants, and twenty soldiers on patrol, such a force was stationed on the top of the mountain, and the difficulty of the night attack was greatly increased.
Valley
One day after this adjustment, Mangdangshan launched a major counterattack, and the target of the counterattack was a Chu army camp deepest into the official road.
Wu Sheng paid close attention to the battle on the mountain, and almost couldn't hold back from taking action. In the end, with Yuan Sima and Jin Wuhuan fighting side by side, he destroyed the small village built with ten military vehicles, and rushed to the Chu army. Evacuate before calling for help.
The Chu army's advance slowed down again.
In an inconspicuous corner of the Chu Army's mountain pass camp, there was a most ordinary tent. Sword Master Yu Xi was sitting in the tent reading a letter. At daybreak, two swordsmen entered the tent one after another and sat opposite him.
The two swordsmen were dressed similarly to him. They were also ordinary and plain swordsmen, but one was missing his left arm and the other was missing his right arm. They were both mutilated people.
Forty years ago, Yu Xi had not yet broken through the realm. These two were world-famous swordsmen. They challenged Yu Xi with their swordsmanship, but they were defeated. At that time, they were scheduled to fight to the death, but Yu Xi did not kill them. Therefore, the two of them cut off one of their arms and became slaves under the Xi family. From then on, they concealed their names and called themselves Jian Zong Zuo Jian and Jian Zong Right Jian.
Although he considers himself a slave, Yu Xi only regards them as brothers.
Yu Xi looked away from the silk letter and asked, "How's it going?"
The two men bowed slightly and said, "No one takes action."
Yu Xi said: "It doesn't matter. When the Chu army arrives at Mangdang Mountain, if there is no more movement, they will go and meet Luo Lingfu."
Zuo Jian said: "Isn't it a bit arbitrary to spend so much time just based on your name?"
Yu Xi said: "Speaking of names...actually, the name Shen Yu was also given to him by Jingrui. There is no connection with it. I just thought of Shen Wu from this. Jingrui said Shen Yu is a madman, but you I know that some monks have unique skills, and when they break through the realm and are distracted, the tearing of their spiritual consciousness is particularly strong. In fact, they are not crazy, so it is a question whether Shen Yu is in the stage of breaking through the realm."
After a pause, Yu Xi continued: "Let's talk about Shen Wu, why did he give away his fiefdom to others? Is he really unwilling to delay his practice for the sake of the secular world? If this was really the case, he would not have become a mediocre official in the first place to find a spiritual spring. The reason why he devoted himself to practice was, why did he show up? Why did he lead the troops into battle? So... was he leaving to break the situation? Or to avoid revenge? During the period when he left Mangdang Mountain, Shen Yu happened to appear in Yingchi, Taken from Jingrui to Yingdu, the time is right..."
With that said, Yu Xi shook the letter in his hand and handed it to the two of them: "You should also take a look."
This is the letter Luo Lingfu sent last night. He said in the letter that Wei Fushen and Mai Yi have been haunting various tribes in Baiyue. The center of the haunts he found was around Mangdang Mountain.
What makes Wei Fushen and Mai Yi never leave Mangdang Mountain? Luo Lingfu said that both of these two people had interactions with Wu Sheng. Among them, Wei Fushen and Wu Sheng were one of the Four Friends of Lanqiao successively, and Mai had a big feud with Wu Sheng. Therefore, he asked Yu Xi to pay attention to Wu Sheng's news.
After they finished watching, Zuo Jian thought: "Wu Sheng...Shen Wu?"
Yu Xi nodded: "Not only that, when Wu Sheng appeared in Langshan, he was the first to call himself Shen Wu."
You Jian smiled: "Won't he change his name to another one?"
Yu Xi said: "The Chu army went south in a large scale, went deep into Baiyue, and attacked Mangdang Mountain. This has nothing to do with our Jixia Academy, and we cannot interfere without authorization. But the survival of Mangdang Mountain is in danger. In this move, will Shen Yu be the one to attack Mangdang Mountain?" Wu, I’m going to have to take a closer look to see if Shen Wu is Wu Sheng.”
