Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 99: The brave man is fearless

The rain still hasn't stopped, but the tense atmosphere in the shed has temporarily subsided. The sound of rain seemed to blend into the background, making it imperceptible. The night was very quiet, so quiet that it made people think. Lu Chen didn't speak anymore, and Linghu Chong didn't speak either. They waited and thought in a slightly strange silence.

Even the air seemed to be frozen, and the two of them treated each other as if they didn't exist.

Until a certain moment, Lu Chen's tone suddenly softened, "There are indeed very few people in the world who know who they are, but you shouldn't be. Linghu Chong, please wake up."

Then he took out the ointment from his arms and threw it in front of Linghu Chong, "I beat you because I hate that iron cannot become steel, but I really shouldn't just punch you a little without asking the reason. Linghu Chong, this is the ointment for bruises, wipe it off, It always works. Let’s just talk calmly and talk about it.”

It was difficult for him to tell the reason for his change of attitude. When looking into his true thoughts, it was because after beating Linghu Chong, he finally felt relieved. Once relieved, the feeling of guilt arises again. But from what he said, it seemed like he had given Linghu Chong a chance.

Linghu Chong's whole body ached, reminding him all the time that it was not Lu Chen who was being beaten, and this man would naturally speak sarcastically. But looking at Lu Chen's fist, he had a lot of resentment in his heart, but it was difficult to blurt it out.

Fortunately, for a person like him, he never cares about anyone who treats him badly. So everything turned into a sigh and he did something.

He took the ointment and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I shouldn't believe your words, but you really have the courage to believe it." He sighed again, "I'll just call you senior brother, don't get involved in this matter. , just let me..."

Lu Chen saw the opportunity and suddenly shouted, "Is Yue Buqun behind this? You are willing to take the blame for him because of the relationship between master and disciple!"

There were fewer of them, far less than fifteen. But there were only five or six people in the gang, and it was clear that all of them were innate masters.

His tongue bursts with spring thunder, and he holds the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth. It coincides with the increasing intensity of the rain, which is both rapid and dense. It creates the effect of the unity of the heaven, the elephant, and the human heart, secretly aiding the power of his "soul-taking magic". Linghu Chong was unable to use his inner strength and could not resist. He was suddenly in a state of confusion and had a mental delusion.

A god, shrouded in golden light and wearing mighty armor, came to him, asked him many questions, and judged his good and evil deeds in his life. He was so happy that he answered everything, and in a daze he finally asked about what happened that night.

In any case, the lie was deceived, and the truth was finally revealed.

Without interference under various circumstances, the correct way to unfold that night would have been to destroy the temple and fight. Yue Buqun and others were approached by the Sword Sect, and they fled in the middle of the night. They met a master of the Songshan Sect, and they were actually in danger. If it weren't for Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords, the Huashan Sect would have been wiped out.

In an instant, the raindrops outside the shed rushed in, pouring into the small space where they were, and grew tenfold or a hundredfold in the blink of an eye, submerging everything. He just felt like the world was spinning, like a dream. Everything that happened in the shed suddenly became the past many years ago, distant and blurry.

Linghu Chong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face distorted, and he could not utter a single word for a long time.

Feng Qingyang is a sword sect, while Kumei Taoist is an air sect. But regardless of the sword sect and air sect, they were all stuck in the perfection of the innate realm and failed to take an important step towards the Great Triad. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they broke up and fought a duel, but in the end there was no winner. Feng Qingyang kept his name anonymously and ignored world affairs, and the withered plums also disappeared from the world, unknown to anyone.

He finally didn't want to remember it, and showed an extremely painful expression on his face. But God kept urging him, so he could only answer honestly.

In Lu Chen's recent encounters, innate masters have become carrots and cabbage, sold at bargain prices. But in fact, looking at the world, no matter where you are, innate masters are only one in a million. For the younger generation like Linghu Chong, it is a legend that is easy to hear but hard to see.

It is obvious that Yue Buqun has more opportunities and more connections than the original. But no one could have imagined that the innate masters he brought would wipe out the ambush soldiers of the Songshan Sect, and in the blink of an eye, they would find the disciples of the Huashan Sect and kill them one by one.

He was in great pain, closed his eyes, and said calmly, "I adopted a bad life for my master, and now I feel a little wronged for him, which is understandable. It is really the most right thing in the world."

Lu Chen's eyes widened and he said sternly, "Speak!"

Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "What happened that day? Why did Yue Buqun deliberately direct and act in such a big play? Don't forget, the Huashan sect is also considered to be of our Quanzhen lineage. Don't ask, I But I want to ask - what kind of gentleman is this gentleman's sword!"

Now, as he was about to die, looking back on the past, Lu Chen was just an insignificant passerby in his life. Even if he was asked what his name was and asked to think about it desperately, he would not be able to answer it and would forget about it in an instant.

In fact, they did meet masters from the Songshan Sect on the way, but it was not Linghu Chong's turn to show off his power. Yue Buqun waved and contacted five or six other men in black from nowhere.

Linghu Chong opened his eyes and begged, "Senior Brother Lu, don't ask, I don't know either. But there must be reasons behind what Master does..."

Therefore, due to various circumstances, today's Huashan School is still a mom-and-pop shop with only three or two kittens. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong, who are in the acquired realm, support a large family, which is not easy from various perspectives.

Lu Chen had learned that the duel between the two Sword Qi Sects of Huashan Sect had also happened in this world, but from the vague senior master in the original work, it became two people with clear directions. They are both registered disciples of Wang Chongyang, one is Feng Qingyang and the other is Taoist Kumei.

The God of Heaven was Lu Chen, of course, and he used his soul-stirring technique to confuse Linghu Chong like a pig. Linghu Chong was not at all wary and could be deceived better than a three-year-old girl. As soon as Lu Chen used his power, he was immediately hit by the attack. To be honest, this made Lu Chen feel guilty about bullying an idiot.

You can imagine how shocked Linghu Chong was at that time. He didn't know how capable he was, so he still regarded himself as an incompetent junior and regarded the fifteen men in black as a disaster. The fact is that the fifteen men in black were killed by Yue Buqun's accomplices after three strikes and five divided by two.

This was Yue Buqun's order and Yue Buqun's decision. When those innate masters killed the disciples of the Huashan Sect, his master was standing by and watching, his face calm, as if he were ordinary. Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan had already been knocked unconscious by him, so they didn't know about it. The disciples were cheering a moment ago, but now they are like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Among the many disciples, Linghu Chong was the only one who could resist. He used the Dugu Nine Swords to force the alien energy, and for a short period of time, he burst out with extremely fierce fighting power.

Fortunately, the innate master respects his identity and will never bully the minority. Finally, he was allowed to fight and escape all the way. He was chased by an innate master to the cliff, fell down, and escaped with a slim chance of survival.

When he woke up the next day, his right arm was already badly eroded, and his meridians were washed away by internal energy. It could no longer be regarded as a limb, but could only be regarded as an irrelevant piece of thing attached to the body.

Linghu Chong sighed and simply broke off his arm. Then, he came to the foot of Huashan Mountain and heard all kinds of news. He was disheartened and lifeless.

No matter how innocent he was, he knew that he had been played by Yue Buqun and became the scapegoat Yue Buqun used to cover up the truth. For a long time, he would have nightmares whenever he went to sleep. In the dream, Yue Buqun, a perfect moral man, grew fangs, spurted blood, and his body rotted like a devil.

He felt despair. But in despair, he was very afraid and unwilling to think about revenge.

At the critical moment, he had to comfort himself that Yue Buqun might have his own reasons. Many disciples died for a greater ideal. Perhaps, many disciples are willing to die for Yue Buqun. Perhaps, after Yue Buqun killed his disciple, he was extremely sad in private.

The more he thought about it, the more he was willing to believe this outrageous statement. The reason why I believe it is not because of how reasonable it is, but because the long-standing belief cannot collapse. In Linghu Chong's heart, the Huashan Sect still needs to be a beautiful world full of harmony between teachers and disciples, rather than a cruel world of cannibalism and murder.

But even if it didn't collapse, it was already on the verge of collapse. And this was exactly the reason why Linghu Chong was braving things here and avoiding the past.

In fact, Linghu Chong probably understood very well how unreliable this reason was, so his solution to the matter was to simply not investigate the truth. This kind of mentality is just like a person who does poorly in an exam and then finds various reasons not to look at the scores on the test paper. It seems that as long as the moment the scores are not seen, the exam has never existed. Moreover, there is at least a 10% chance of doing well in the exam.

It was really difficult for Lu Chen to convince himself to understand Linghu Chong's twisted psychology.

In the end, he could only sigh and felt that children who lacked love should not be short-sighted, and children who were short-sighted had better not be less loved. Linghu Chong was loveless and careless, so he played into Yue Buqun's hands.

The twist of fate is that even now, Yue Buqun still doesn't know that Linghu Chong is pregnant with Dugu Nine Swords. He is no longer the useless doll he imagined, but a rising star with great potential. As a result, he severely broke Linghu Chong's heart, and sooner or later his face was exposed to the world.

Lu Chen snapped his fingers, causing Linghu Chong to wake up. All gods and rebirths have become shattered bubbles. After waking up, Linghu Chong was sweating profusely and his eyes were dull, as if he had had a nightmare. He woke up, everything was self-evident, and he knew that he had been tricked by Lu Chen, so he inadvertently revealed the facts.

The rain stopped at some point, the air turned dull, and the shed was quiet for a while. No one said anything, and the air was so solid that it seemed like it could fall to the ground. Linghu Chong suddenly covered his face with one hand and started crying bitterly.

He lay on the ground like a useless person, covering his face with one hand, looking up to the sky and crying bitterly. This scene is truly indescribable.

He cried and cursed, "Why on earth... God is a bastard, you are also a bastard, you are all a bastard, I'm sorry, everyone is sorry for me! Some people beat me, some bully me, Master, Master, where are you? ...Master, you want to kill me...you want to kill me...why!"

Cursing and cursing, he suddenly clenched his fists and beat the ground, then beat his chest and stamped his feet, rolling around like a madman.

Seeing his crazy look, Lu Chen felt pity again. Sometimes he really couldn't tell whether Linghu Chong was being mean or he was being meaner.

He sighed and said, "To be honest, prying into your thoughts was not my original idea. I am the one who felt sorry for you and I also beat you. If you feel aggrieved and want to beat me, then go ahead. , I will never fight back.”

After a long time, Linghu Chong stopped moving and crying, and his mood stabilized slightly. After a while, I lost my strength, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Why should I hit you?"

Lu Chen said, "Because you will accompany me to expose Yue Buqun's true face."

Linghu Chong blurted out, "I won't go..."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know you don't want to go because you are afraid. You don't have the guts to practice what your master Jun Zijian taught you, right?"

Linghu Chong said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My master is just..."

Lu Chen said, "People can change, why don't you treat Yue Buqun and Jun Zijian as two people? Linghu Chong, maybe your real master is watching you in the distant past, hoping that you can stop him now. You have always been unrestrained, could it be that you stick to appearances and forget the true nature of people's hearts?"

These words had an unprecedented impact. Linghu Chong wanted to refute, but he could only frown. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything wrong, "This... this..."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "You are stupid, so I won't give you much trouble. Let's change the question to a simpler question. As the ancients said, a gentleman does not care about his heart. In the early years, Yue Buqun knew that others had killed his disciples. Did he? What to do?”

Linghu Chong looked at Lu Chen quietly for a long time before nodding his head and saying word by word, "Go and accuse him and demand an explanation."

Lu Chen said, "That's it. He wants to be a gentleman who doesn't care about his heart. Don't blame us for dealing with him according to the saying. He can't pass this test. It's not your apprentice who wants to deal with the master. But his master is dealing with himself. You might want to say to him, master, you taught me so well."

Seeing Linghu Chong's hesitation, he then scolded, "Why are you still hesitating? This world needs your sword, how can you hide your edge! Only by drawing your sword in anger and wiping out the demons can you be worthy of being a disciple of the Junzi Sword and a successor of the Huashan Sect. Linghu Chong, you must be responsible and courageous, don't be a coward!"

At this point, he suddenly raised his hand and punched Linghu Chong in the face.

With a "Peng" sound, Linghu Chong raised his hand to catch the punch. This punch did not exert any internal force, nor did he use his body. He received it with no difficulty, but looked at Lu Chen in shock and anger.

Lu Chen retracted his fist and said with a smile, "It seems that you are not a coward after all! Damn it, if you still get beaten, I will leave."

From the beginning of the conversation to now, Linghu Chong has been lying on the ground. He is one-armed and decadent, as if he is a puddle of mud.

But after receiving this punch, he pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, as if the puddle of mud was suddenly cast into shape and turned into gold and iron.

He stretched out his palm, wiped his face, and stood in front of Lu Chen.

As soon as he stood up, his blood surged up, and his sword-like eyebrows showed a bit of sharp sword energy.

But in an instant, he lowered his head again and said with some embarrassment, "What you said makes sense. Senior Brother Lu, thank you very much for your trouble."

Lu Chen said, "Have you figured it out?"

Although Linghu Chong's face was dirty and looked the same as before, he had a completely different look.

He said nonchalantly, "I didn't think about it specifically. Maybe at a certain moment, those ideas came through by themselves."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't you think that your junior brothers all sacrificed themselves for the great future of your bastard master?"

Mentioning his master and junior brother, Linghu Chong's face inevitably showed a little unnaturalness, but he smiled immediately and said, "This idea is too ridiculous. But maybe, anyone will fall into the maze of absurdity and go around in circles. "

He added with emotion, "People are always smarter than they think, and they are always stupider than they think. In fact, I have always known whether the road around me is a maze or a smooth road. I am just timid about the outside environment and voluntarily wander in the maze. So In the end, this is not a question of smartness or stupidity, but a question of courage. Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for giving me the courage to face the Master I have never seen before."

Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, a courageous step is better than going in circles without courage. This encounter has given you a lot of insights."

He turned around again and said, "Come on, follow me to the inn. After washing up, change your clothes and get a sword. Starting tomorrow, we still have a lot of things to do. Yue Buqun doesn't want the Huashan Sect. , let me, Lu Chen, take it!"
