A knife in love

Chapter 597

Li Qiufeng said: "Back then, the Demon Sect ruled the world, and there were so many masters in the Sect, and they recruited troops everywhere to fight against Yuan soldiers. In terms of their actions, it's not that they only do evil things. It's just that the Demon Sect will use any means to achieve its goals. , not based on benevolence and righteousness, but only seeks profit first, and is at odds with the major gangs in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, although the demon sect is fighting against the Yuan soldiers, but because of its strange behavior, it slaughters the people, and in the end it can't achieve any great things."

Yuan Jue nodded, and said: "The poor monk doesn't understand these major events in the world. It's just that he was a Taoist priest of pyrotechnics in the Wuji Temple, and he often listened to the seniors in the temple talking about the past. After making the big plan, attack the major gangs in Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan first. After the Demon Sect wiped out the Spike Gate in Yi County, it then besieged the Hengshan Sect. The Hengshan Sect is very powerful, but it is not the enemy of the Demon Sect. After 500 days of hard fighting, [-] people died, even the head of the Hengshan School died in the Xuankong Temple. After hearing the news, Shaolin, Wudang and other famous sects came to help, but Hengshan was dangerous and the reinforcements were blocked at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the remaining dozens of Hengshan sect disciples were about to be annihilated, the Hengshan sect disappeared. It was also the Hengshan sect that was immortal, and suddenly it rained heavily, making it impossible to see anything within a few feet. These Hengshan sect disciples took advantage of the heavy rain to Holding on to the vine and climbing down the cliff, he escaped a life. However, after this battle, the strength of the Hengshan faction was severely injured, and the masters and celebrities were all killed and injured. Some of the powerful martial arts in the faction were lost. Today, Although the Hengshan School is still a well-known and decent school in the martial arts, but compared with the old days, it has become weaker. It should be known that in the martial arts back then, except for the two major schools of Shaolin and Wudang, who were the leaders of the martial arts, they were evenly matched. Taishan, Songshan, Hengshan, Emei, Kunlun and other sects. It’s just that the Hengshan faction can no longer compete with Huashan and Taishan, and Qingcheng and other gangs are also stronger than the Hengshan faction. Alas, the past is like smoke, which makes people sigh .”

Huijing said: "Master, it's nothing special for me to look at the Wuji Temple. If our Kule Nunnery also has such a treasured place of geomantic omen, Master will become the ancestor of the Kule School, and we will all become martial arts seniors. When the time comes, we will also Open the gate of the mountain, recruit disciples, and after a hundred years, the bitterness school will be famous all over the world, commanding the world, and no one dares not to follow!"

Huiming, Huiwen and other young nuns chirped and echoed.Yuanjue couldn't help smiling, and said: "What do children know? There are all major gangs in the Jianghu, how can there be a gang that suddenly rises? If there are no outstanding figures in the gang, it will not go through decades or hundreds of years of painstaking management. , How can one be successful and famous. Behind this painstaking efforts, there are many people who will be killed."

Huijing stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Oh, that disciple is still a little nun in a proper manner, and he can also protect the leader, and he will be safe for the rest of his life."

Yuanjue said: "Although you are in the Buddhist sect, you are still far from comprehending the saying that emptiness is form and form is emptiness. You have to go through many hardships and break through the dust of scriptures before you can suddenly realize that life is just a big dream. What kind of decent school?" , Famous in Jianghu, but it's just a splash of water, the moon in the mirror."

When she said this, she paused for a while, and then continued: "The coast of the land is the land of the king. Wuji Temple has lived in Yuntai Mountain for a long time, but it is not for nothing. The tax that has to be paid to the government every year is one A lot of money. As for the pool in front of me, I remember that the annual tax was 80 taels of silver."

Huiqing and the others were stunned, thinking to themselves that 80 taels of silver would be enough to build two Kule Temples, and Wuji Temple is really powerful.

But I heard Yuan Jue say: "Everyone needs to remember that things outside of the body are ultimately illusory, forcing can only hurt the body and hurt the heart, and in the end it's just a bamboo basket fetching water in vain. We are worshiping Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The head, but it has nothing to do with us."

Situqiao listened to Yuanjue's narration of the past, and talked about how emptiness is form and form is emptiness, and he was impatient.Taking advantage of her momentary pause, she hurriedly said: "Master said there are two ferry boats here, but there are no traces of them now, how can we get across this pool, we must all swim through this pool." ?”

Yuanjue said: "Mr. Situ is much more witty than my disciples. He can get to the important point in a single sentence. It doesn't seem like they are making jokes. Before the demon sect besieged Wuji Temple, they even sent more than 7000 civilians to the left of the pool. A stone cave was dug out of the cliff on the side, leading directly to the top of the cliff, and the water pool no longer had the function of a barrier. The Demon Sect avoided the masters of the Promise Sect on the opposite bank of the pool from the cave, and climbed up the cliff. After the top, the soldiers divided into two groups. One line went straight to the Wuji Temple, and the other side attacked the Wuji Temple guard masters guarding the water pool from behind. Wuji Temple never thought that the Demon Sect would have such a powerful force, that they could mobilize seven thousand civilians in one fell swoop. In two days and one night, a stone cave of more than [-] feet was dug. In order to confuse Wuji Guan, the Demon Cult pretended to build a ship by the pool. Therefore, Wuji Guan only attacked from the front with all its strength, and all the masters in the Guan were on guard. On the shore of the water pool. The Demon Cult suddenly appeared from behind. These masters were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The master. The Demon Cult suddenly invaded the temple. Although the temple master killed several masters of the Demon Cult, he couldn't stop the Demon Cult's attack. In the end, he had to give up the Wuji Temple and retreat into the valley. Finally, he was captured by the Demon Cult. Sleepy."

When she said this, she sighed, and then said: "Reverend Yunxuan also said the night before that in order to preserve the reputation of Wuji Temple, the master of the temple did not want the disciples to make things difficult for her, so he swung his sword and killed himself. The dozen or so Wuji Temple disciples who followed her did not give in, and committed suicide one after another. Seeing that the temple master was dead, the Demon Sect besieged the Wuji Temple disciples who were guarding the pool with all their strength. At this extremely urgent time, they came to The masters from Yongtai Temple who went to help finally arrived, and then the masters from Shaolin Sect, Songshan Sect, Zhao Family Spear and other gangs kept coming. Instead, the Demon Sect was trapped in Yuntai Mountain and was finally driven into the Jasper Valley. The Demon Sect was full of people in the Jasper Valley I bought something to start the fire. I originally wanted to threaten the owner of the Wuji Temple to surrender, otherwise she would be burned alive. Unexpectedly, she was bound by herself, and the retribution was not good. The leader of the demon sect, together with the elders, hall masters, leaders, and more than a thousand members of the congregation People were besieged and killed by various gangs. After retreating into the Jasper Valley, they guarded for nine days and nine nights. In the end, the dry food was exhausted, and the water source was cut off. Six to seven hundred believers died of hunger and thirst. It's just that the members of the devil sect are really tough They were extremely fierce, and although they were in a desperate situation, none of them surrendered. In the end, the leader of the Demon Cult lit a kindling, and the Jade Valley ignited a big fire. It burned for three days and three nights, and the entire Demon Cult army was wiped out.

Huijing, Huiming, Huiwen, etc. were all startled when Yuanjue said this, and couldn't help but cry out.Li Qiufeng remained silent, but Situ Qiao became more and more impatient the more he listened, and said, "Master has indeed benefited a lot from telling us about these past events. It's just that we have to rush to Wuji Temple right now. Can Master point out a Minglu, so that we can bypass this pool?"

Yuanjue smiled slightly, and said: "It's the poor monk who is talking too much, Mr. Situ, please don't take it for granted. After the demon sect failed to attack Wuji Temple, there is no one in the rivers and lakes who would dare to attack Wuji Temple, so there is no water in this pool." However, the stone cave dug by the Demon Sect is very convenient for going to the Temple of Infinity. The later temple master destroyed the two ferry boats on the water pool, and slightly repaired the cave. Acting as a passage to the Wuji Temple. This cave is more dangerous than the water pool. As long as someone is guarded at the exit of the cliff top, it will be guarded by one man. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, if someone wants to go to the Wuji You have to go through this cave to see.”

Situ Qiao said: "That's very good, let's go up the mountain directly from the cave. I always look at this pool with some evil gates. Don't look at the water on the surface, I'm afraid there is a very powerful undercurrent."

Yuanjue's expression changed drastically, he stared at Situ Qiao, and after a while he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Situ is really amazing. To be honest, after the demon sect attacked Wuji Temple, something strange happened to this pool..."

When she said this, she took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then said: "After all the gangs in the Jianghu helped Wuji Temple to wipe out the Demon Cult, Wuji Temple was also severely injured. Ten does not save one. In order to revive the momentum of Wuji Temple, and fear that the remnants of the Demon Sect will retaliate against Wuji Temple, the Shaolin faction negotiated with the Wudang faction who came later, and the leaders of each faction notarized to elect the new head of Wuji Temple. All gangs The masters who went to aid did not leave Yuntai Mountain for the time being, and guarded various key passes to prevent the remnants of the evil sect from retaliating and the evil heretics taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Until a month later, news came from all over the place that all the leaders of the demon sect died in Yuntai Mountain. The main rudder of the Demon Sect, its sub-rudders, and all the halls have been destroyed, and the congregation scattered. Since it rose in the south of the Yangtze River at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Demon Sect, which has dominated the world and no one dares to fight its front, has been destroyed. The major gangs Only then did I feel relieved, except that Yongtai Temple is a nunnery and some masters were left in the Infinity Temple to help defend against the enemy just in case, the rest of the gangs agreed to go down the mountain."

While speaking, Yuanjue glanced at the emerald green pool water, with fear in his eyes, and continued: "According to Wuji Temple's plan at the time, to seal up that cave, we still regard the pool as a natural danger. So two ferries were prepared to send the group of heroes out of the mountain. At that time, the Yandang faction was the first to leave Wuji Temple. More than 50 people took two ferry boats. The big hole actually swallowed two ferry boats..."

Huijing and the others let out an "ah", and couldn't help but looked at the center of the pool together.I saw that the surface of the pool was like a mirror, and the water waves were calm. It looked extremely calm.Previously, everyone only thought that the pool was very quiet and the surrounding scenery was quite good.It was only after listening to Yuanjue's words that he realized that the water pool, the surrounding cliffs, and mountains were too quiet, so quiet that even everyone's heartbeat could be heard.Moreover, there were no traces of insects or birds in the surrounding area, and it turned out to be completely lifeless.Although the water pool, the cliff, the sky, and the woods are silent, they are like strange beasts, waiting for their own opportunities, and seem to engulf everyone at any time.
