Across the heavens starting from the Buddhist King Kong

Chapter 70 A few years have passed, go to Hengyang
After returning to Tongyuan Valley, Zheng Gui practiced in closed-door training in the abbot's room after having a long private conversation with Master Bujie.

Master Bujie silently remembered the Hengshan swordsmanship and other excellent martial arts taught by the abbot brother, and while urging the disciples in the temple to practice, he silently practiced Hengshan martial arts.

A few years passed by in a hurry, and on this day, Zheng Gui, who was in retreat, suddenly heard the shout of the monk who did not quit from outside the door.

"Brother Abbot, Sister Sect Leader please go over."

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Zheng Gui, who was already in his thirties, with wrinkles on his eyes and forehead, pushed the door out. His eyes were like lightning, and he walked silently, revealing his deep inner strength.

"I haven't seen you in half a year. Brother Abbot's cultivation has become more and more advanced. I admire you!"

Monk Bujie was full of admiration, guessing in his heart that he was much worse than Zen Master Dingxing in terms of internal strength.

Zheng Gui has been in seclusion for more than four years. Relying on the state of mind like still water, he has achieved twice the result with half the effort. Last month, he has integrated all the acupuncture points except Ren Du's two channels.

Now the true energy in his body is rushing like a river, thick and continuous, although he has never compared it, but he feels that his internal strength has surpassed the ordinary first-class masters, and he is comparable to the senior sister Dingxian who is the head of the sect.

Monk Bujie's martial arts are not inferior to master-level masters. In recent years, he has practiced Hengshan martial arts, and his martial arts have improved a lot. Since he can see that his internal strength seems to be superior to him, Zheng Gui thinks How can there be seven or eight out of ten.

With a slight smile, Zheng Gui restrained his breath, his eyes were also restrained, and he asked, "Did Senior Sister Sect Master say something?"

Monk Bujie touched his big bald head and said, "It is said that Mr. Liu of the Hengshan faction invited us to Hengshan to Hengyang. He is going to hold some kind of golden basin handwashing meeting on July [-] this year, and he wants to quit martial arts..."

Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured: "Things are still going to happen..."

Zheng Gui knew that although his appearance allowed Huashan School and Hengshan School to obtain the lost sword technique of Siguo Yashi Carving and the breaking method of the sword techniques of other schools, but after all, Hengshan School did not do anything out of the ordinary. Under the leadership of the leader, he also kept his own law and order, so it did not have much impact on the situation in the arena and the changes in the current situation.

This also means how the plot of Swordsman will develop and how it will develop.

So before last year, Linghu Chong, the chief disciple of the Huashan School, defeated the four disciples of the Qingcheng School in Shaanxi in a row, and wiped out two underworld camps, making a small splash in the Central Plains martial arts.

At that time, when Zheng Gui heard the news, he knew that the Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference would also start half a year later, when the Songshan School would show its minions and ambitions to the other four schools of the Five Sacred Sword School for the first time.

Just because he knew that time was running out and that he and the Hengshan faction were about to face the first big storm, Zheng Gui practiced harder and harder.

Hastily rushed to the Wuse Nunnery, and seeing Master Dingxian, Master Dingjing, and Master Dingyi were all there, Zheng Gui folded his palms together and saluted, saying: "Master Sister is rare in recent years, it's really hard for you to travel around. gone."

Master Dingjing's face was full of dust and dust, and she looked older than many years ago, she gently waved her hand and said: "I have found many good seedlings for our Hengshan School over the years, so I am very happy.

Junior brother, you have become more and more famous in the martial arts these few years. The Golden Knife Sect, Bagua Knife and other sects all respect your disciples, thanks to your invincible magic skills at the Dragon Gate Conference back then..."

"Senior sister made fun of you. Your junior brother and I were taught martial arts by the three senior sisters. You can't know how much I weigh. It was purely a coincidence and a fluke..."

Ching Xing Zen Master defeated Wang Yuanba and Mo Xing with one block and two. Although it was considered a sensation, it was not enough to make him a well-known figure in the martial arts. At the Longmen Conference, he had a duel with Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple. The palm has the upper hand, which is the main reason why Zen Master Dingxing has become a sensation in recent years and has become more and more famous.

Zheng Gui told Mrs. Dingxian about the reasons for all kinds of twists and turns when he returned to the mountain, and Sanding naturally knew it well, so they all smiled and said no more.

After sitting down, Zheng Gui asked, "Liu Zhengfeng wants the golden basin to wash his hands? What does he mean?"

Mrs. Dingjing said: "He sent a letter from his disciples, saying that on July [-]th of this year, he will wash his hands in a golden basin and withdraw from the Jianghu, so we invite the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect and seniors who are in harmony with each other to go to Hengyang to observe the ceremony. .”

Mrs. Dingxian frowned slightly, and said doubtfully: "Mr. Liu is an important figure in the Hengshan School. He is in charge of many matters in the Hengshan School. According to legend, Mr. Mo Da's martial arts may not be stronger than him. How could such a figure suddenly ask for help?" Wash your hands in the golden basin, and retreat into the world?"

Mrs. Dingyi answered, "It's really strange. Could it be that Mr. Mo Da hated his junior brother, excluded him, suppressed him, and forced him to retreat?"

Mrs. Dingjing and Mrs. Dingxian have both been in contact with Liu Zhengfeng. After thinking about it, they both shook their heads. Mrs. Dingxian said: "Liu Zhengfeng is not easy to deal with, he has always been at odds with Mo Da, if Mo Da has this heart, how can To this day?"

Master Dingjing said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there are other secrets, he invited our Wuyue Sword Sect and other senior experts in the martial arts to watch the ceremony, maybe he also meant to ask everyone to uphold justice, and you will know when the time comes. "

Mrs. Dingxian nodded and said: "In recent years, there have been few major events in our Wuyue Sword School, and there are not many connections between the schools. Liu Sanye is a well-known master of our Orthodox Church and has friendship with us. He wants gold. Washing hands in the basin, even if we know about it from other sources, we will go to watch the ceremony and try to dissuade it, not to mention that he invited us.

I think the two of you, Junior Sister Dingyi and Junior Brother Dingxing, will take the disciples from Baiyun Nunnery and Baozhu Temple to watch the ceremony. This also shows that our Hengshan School values ​​friends, and you can come forward to persuade them if something bad happens. , I'm not there, so I won't let people make irresponsible remarks, and I won't have room for loopbacks, how? "

Master Dingyi naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and Zheng Gui also wanted to take a look. He also saw the methods of the Songshan School on the way, so he would be able to deal with it later, so he nodded and said, "Senior Sect Leader has an order, how can I not do it?"

"However, Senior Sister, after the last Longmen meeting, we know that the strength and ambition of the Songshan faction have grown together. In recent years, it has become a bit difficult to hold back. Something will happen, Senior Sister Dingyi and I need to bring more capable disciples, when the time comes, you have to promise me the right to act arbitrarily!"

Mrs. Dingxian looked at the younger brother with a calm expression, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have always been at ease when you do things. Our Hengshan School has quietly accumulated for nearly ten years, and it is time for the Songshan School to experience it. You just let go and do it. , everything depends on me.”

Zheng Gui smiled and got up and bowed deeply, saying: "Thank you, senior sister, this trip to Hengyang, as a younger brother, I will definitely be able to discover the truth of the Songshan School."

After returning to Baozhu Temple from Wuse Nunnery, Zheng Gui summoned Master Bujie and Yiguang and other disciples. He first made it clear that he would go to Hengyang to participate in the Jinpen Washing Hands Conference in three months, and then said: "Yiguang You bring all the best martial arts masters in the monastery, Haosheng took them to practice swordsmanship and martial arts in the past two months, and hone the sword array, Hengyang and his party will inevitably have to fight against strong enemies for a while!"

Speaking of fighting, both Yiguang and Bujie were very excited. Monk Bujie rubbed his hands and said, "Who are you fighting with?"

Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes and said, "Songshan School."

Monk Bujie didn't care at all that the Songshan Sect was the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, he just clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, I've heard that the Songshan Sect's thirteen Taibao martial arts are world-class, and my great monk has to weigh them. !"

After learning that the abbot, the prison temple, and the elder brother will go down the mountain to Hengyang two months later, all the disciples in Baozhu Temple practiced harder and harder.

Zheng Gui knew that Yilin, as Dingyi's most proud disciple, was also one of the successors of Yizi generation secretly identified by Master Dingxian, and that he would definitely go to Hengyang with him for this conference, so he went to Xuankong Temple in Cuiping Mountain during the night.

After revealing the identity of the dumb woman, Zheng Gui expressed his willingness to create a chance for her and Yilin to recognize each other. Although the dumb woman was excited, she finally shook her head and refused. At the same time, she begged Zheng Gui to keep the secret, especially not to tell Monk Bujie .

Zheng Gui naturally agreed, and when he left, he looked at the dumb mother-in-law's thoughtful look. Zheng Gui knew that Hengyang and his party would probably follow silently.

Zheng Gui went back to the abbot's room and silently counted the strengths of Hengshan School and Songshan School. At Hengyang's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, Hengshan School will have four first-class masters, Master Dingyi, Zen Master Dingxing, Master Bujie, and Yiguang. The rest of the monks and nuns There will be 50 to [-] disciples, because all the disciples with the highest martial arts are selected, and they can form a sword array comparable to seven or eight first-class masters.

If the dumb mother-in-law is added, the Hengshan faction will have at least the combat power of twelve first-class masters. At that time, as long as the Songshan faction does not come with Zuo Lengchan personally bringing the thirteen Taibao, the Hengshan faction will have the strength to overturn the table. .

Zheng Gui settled down a bit, and thought to himself: We just need to wait for the Songshan faction to attack, and then rescue Liu Zhengfeng, and we will surely be able to win over the Hengshan faction. By then, relying on the support of the Huashan and Hengshan factions, we will be able to stand against Zuo Lengchan .

Zheng Gui agreed that the best defense is to attack. He knew that as long as the Songshan faction launched an attack at the Hengyang Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, it would be a signal for the other four factions of the Songshan faction to attack each other. Instead of passively waiting for the Songshan faction It would be better to win over the other factions and the Songshan faction to fight against each other directly, and then the Hengshan faction will have some chance of winning.

After Zheng Gui's plan was completed, he continued to retreat and polish his true energy. With the arrival of midsummer, the weather became hotter and hotter, and various news from the martial arts gradually spread to Baozhu Temple.

The head of the Qingcheng faction, Yu Canghai, brought a large number of disciples into Fuzhou and wiped out all the Fuwei Escorts. The reason was that his son was killed by Lin Zhennan's only son.

In the past ten years, there has never been an incident of extermination in the Jianghu. In addition, the exterminated family is the descendant of Lin Yuantu, who shocked the Jianghu back then. Therefore, as soon as this matter happened, there was an uproar in the Jianghu, and all kinds of speculations were discussed. one after another.

It was already June, and the Hengyang General Assembly was approaching. After Master Dingxian sent someone to ask about the travel time, Zheng Gui selected 25 disciples on the second day. Then he made an appointment with Master Dingxian to meet up in Hengyang, and then he, Monk Bujie, Yiguang and others led the disciples down the mountain first.

Although monks and nuns are all monks, there is a difference between men and women after all. Traveling together is unavoidable. It is not only inconvenient to walk too close, but also unavoidable to attract criticism. Therefore, Zheng Gui and his party naturally have to stagger their itinerary with Master Ding Yi and his party. .

After going down the mountain, Zheng Gui took his disciples to Tongguan, stayed in the Weiwu Escort for a few days, and then took Ning Zhengduan to the south, passing Huayin and Shangluo in a few days, and arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Logically speaking, Zheng Gui represented the Hengshan Sect, and when they arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain, the Wudang Sect should also show some respect, but from the time they entered the territory of the Wudang Sect to the time they left the Junzhou boundary, Zheng Gui and his party did not see a single Taoist priest show up.

Yiguang and Master Bujie were still a little resentful of the Wudang faction's faux pas, but Zheng Gui, who was familiar with the follow-up plot, knew that neither the Wudang faction nor the Shaolin Temple would say anything about Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand Washing Conference, even though they had already noticed the Songshan faction trend.

In order to get out of the matter completely and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, the Wudang faction never dared to make any performance at this juncture.

Zheng Gui secretly scolded the old man for being slippery, and was about to tell his disciples to speed up their pace. Before dark, he walked to the Hanshui River to take a boat, when he heard a clear whistle, followed the reputation and saw two old men in their 50s walking quickly , it was Daoist Qingxu and Daoist Chenggao who had met once.

Zheng Gui's heart warmed, and he hurried forward to greet him. After everyone saw the salute, Daoist Qingxu gently cupped his hands, and said, "I learned that the Hengshan School's eminent monk was passing by, so I hurried to catch up with you, Zen Master Chengxing. It’s not been a long time, but I learned about it a few days ago, although the head brother repeatedly ordered us not to interfere in the internal affairs of your Five Sacred Sword Sect, but thinking of our friendship, I still can’t help it..."

Zheng Gui bowed slightly, and said: "If you have anything to ask, Daoist Brother Qingxu, it's okay to say."

"Please take another step to speak."

Daoist Qingxu coughed lightly, and after Zheng Gui followed him to the side, the old Daoist said in a low voice: "I heard from the brother in charge that Mr. Zuo Lengchan Zuo has mobilized a large number of disciples to go to Fujian, Hunan, and Zhejiang in recent months. In other places, four of the [-]th Taibao also rushed to Hengyang the day before yesterday. I am afraid that the picture is not small for such a big battle. "

Zheng Gui understands that after experiencing the Longmen Conference, Shaolin Temple and Wudang School already know that Hengshan School has sensed Songshan School's raging ambitions, so Chongxu Old Daoist explicitly or secretly asks Qingxu to warn him.

Although Zheng Gui knew that the Wudang faction might not be all out of good intentions, maybe he meant to see the Wuyue Sword faction's infighting, but he told him in advance that it was indeed full of good intentions, and he had to express it.

After Zheng Gui thanked him, he parted from Taoist Master Qingxu, and sat on the boat along the Han River all the way southeast, while Zheng Gui was silently thinking about the information that Qingxu revealed to himself.

The Hengshan School has a lot of nunneries and families of lay disciples as eyes and ears, and they can know a lot of information on the rivers and lakes, but they can't grasp any valuable information about the Songshan School. This shows that Zuo Lengchan is rigorous and serious in his work. It shows that he is also deliberately guarding against the surveillance of Shaolin and Wudang factions.

It's just that through Taoist Master Qingxu's words, it can be confirmed that even though Zuo Lengchan paid more and more attention, the Songshan School's movements are still firmly controlled by Shaolin and Wudang. It's no wonder why Fang Zheng and Chongxu have been helping Linghu Chong and Ren Wo All right, the purpose is to keep adding trouble to Zuo Lengchan, after all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
