Chapter 164: Yin Yang Sect
"After the Yunbei region was cleared, I first went to various dangerous places to inspect, and then visited the local gentlemen and villagers diligently, and then I understood that the Blue Lion City was barren and poor, and it was completely a land of hard work, which was very different from the rich Heishui City. In this place where the mountains and rivers are closed, it is not a place to recruit troops and buy horses, and to plot against them. What is worried, the east and west borders of the Yunbei Domain, connected with the Black Stone Empire, the remote mountains are dangerous, and the birds and silkworms are very good hiding places for the enemy bandits. Because of this, I can't help but stay in the Yunbei region for a few more days and visit a few more times. ”
"I was originally from the hairpin family, and I was originally a minister. This time, I was ordered to investigate and deal with the Netherworld Sect, and the bureaucrats did not know that I had martial arts, and I was also the disciple of Mr. Zhang Songxi, the descendant of the Yin and Yang Sect. Along the way, there is no big risk, although the mobilization of men and horses to suppress a few bandits, there is no need to charge into battle in person, everywhere you go, your own generals and cronies are guarding in the morning and evening, and it is even safer. In this way, I will not help but take a little precautions and make everything bigger. One day, I drove lightly and only took a dozen of my relatives to the outside of Blue Lion City. The Blue Lion City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the local officials arranged the line for me in the Gaozhen Temple in the southwest corner of the city. When I entered the Gaozhen Temple, it was getting late, so as usual, I asked the local officials to invite St. Ann, and after asking a little about the political situation and folk customs of the city, I thanked the guests and rested. ”
"In the Gaozhen Temple, there are pavilions and ponds, although the place is not very large, but it is the only elegant place in the city. I lived upstairs at the end of the entrance, and the retinue brought with me was placed downstairs, and the city garrison sent troops to patrol and guard the outside early before and after the view. When I was going to bed that night, I retired from my attendants and played with the moon by the window upstairs alone. It is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is extraordinarily bright, the terrain is high, standing in the window you can see the ups and downs of the hills outside the city, such as obstacles such as screens, between the steep ravines and dense forests, several zigzag streams reflect the moonlight, like a shining silver snake meandering and flowing. Sometimes the mountain breeze blows, faintly bringing the terrible sound of reed pipes in the northern region, occasionally mixed with a few wolf howls and tiger howls, which makes it seem bleak on a moonlit night in the northern city.
At this time, a red light rose from the corner of the tower diagonally opposite the window, and suddenly the drum beat on the city, and the sound of the bang bang in the vicinity was also endless, and it had been changed. ”
"When I stood at the window for a long time, I was a little tired, so I closed the window and turned back. I just wanted to go to bed, but suddenly the wind suddenly rose, whirring strangely, and a few tall pine ancient cypresses outside the window were also roaring and mourning. A gust of wind swept in, and with a 'ah' sound, the empty window was pushed in, and a huge candle on the book next to the bed was swept away by the wind. ”
I panicked and closed the window tightly, and with the iron latch, the wind howled angrily outside the window, and the wind became stronger and stronger. When the shadows of the pines and cypresses flying in the window are reflected in the window paper, they flicker, swaying, and the moonlight turns into a misery. The candle shadow in the window shook red, bright and dark, making the ghosts and shadows on the four walls, gloomy and terrifying. ”
"As usual, before I go to sleep, I do something when no one is around. I practice the Bagua Swimming Body Palm and the Five Elements Boxing, pay attention to the quiet in the movement, the softness to overcome the rigid, the body step to unfold, or with some slight sound, not dust. However, as soon as the palm power is spit out, you don't have to touch your body to hit people a few steps away, and you must be able to send and receive, light or heavy according to your own mind, before you can practice to the point of perfection. At that time, my kung fu was still poor, I could only spit out my fist and attack far away from six feet, and set off the curtain to lift the ruler high, and I could blow the duckweed in the pool with a punch. ”
"That night I practiced to the last hand and turned around, 'boy worship Buddha' palms together, to the couch a few on the candlestick bow, the distance is only five or six feet, I want to try the internal strength to extinguish the lamp, on the couch to meditate and pranayama, and then use the luck of the sect, then to sleep, how to know that at this moment suddenly a strange thing happened, as usual when practicing this hand of kung fu was a worship and extinguished, unexpectedly at this time the candle flame was destroyed by my internal strength, seeing that the fire has looked at that side of the fall, and straightened up, and did not extinguish. ”
I thought strangely, I wondered if my strength had regressed, I couldn't help but take half a step back, stared at the candlelight, and turned the boy's move of worshiping the Buddha into a double palm, and pushed the palms with both palms. Not only did it not go out, but the flame didn't even shake a little, as if I was pushing with the palm wind on this side, and there was also a palm force pushing it there, and it was neither heavy nor light, and the two forces just matched each other, but clamped the candle flame straight. ”
"Something happened so much that I couldn't help shouting: 'Strange?' but as soon as the sound came out, suddenly a wisp of wind and candle flame went out, and it was suddenly pitch black. I was immediately shocked, Huo Di stepped back, his back against the wall, one palm to protect his chest, the other palm to respond to the enemy, and shouted: 'Ben Qin sent an order to come here, asking himself if he can question the heavens, earth, ghosts, and gods, and friends in the spiritual cultivation world, why should he sneak into the play?' I shouted, and a sneer suddenly sneered on the roof beam, but I whispered: "Your Excellency don't need to panic, take care of the candle and let me knock." Her voice was delicate, and she was a woman, and she deliberately whispered it, as if she was afraid of alarming others. ”
"I looked up at the beam, but the room was dark, and the wind was high and the moon was dark outside the window, and I could only make out a little shadow of the beam on the roof, but I couldn't see where she was hiding. I knew that the comer was not good, but I was not afraid, and I still took the fire with my bare hands, and even took the fire according to my words, and lit a few huge candles again. As soon as the candlelight was bright, I suddenly saw a person standing in the distance on the opposite side, but I didn't know that she came down from the beam like this, and there was no sound. When I looked at her by the candlelight, I was startled again! The preconceived idea was a blood-red and terrifying face, as if she had just taken off the skin, only flesh and blood remained, and she couldn't distinguish her facial features, only two dark eyes were there dripping and flashing towards herself, her whole body was covered with green silk, a blue tight-fitting cardigan, and her waist was tied with an embroidered belt, and she was very elegant, nothing else, but it was strange that she was bare-handed, and she did not bring a hidden weapon. ”
"I was wondering what kind of way this woman was, and why she had such a terrible face? She had come a few steps closer, her left fist was flat on her chest, and her right palm was flat on her left fist, and she bowed down to me slightly, and I immediately blurted out, because this is the etiquette of my ancestors' ancestors. There are many people in the Ancestor Sect, and there are a few women, but there are no such strange women, let alone in such a deserted city in the Northern Regions. As soon as she approached, a strange face became more and more terrifying, and her face was covered with blood, which was uglier than a ghost, and her bloody face was touched a few times, and she actually made a voice like a pipe, and said: "The noble man forgets so much that he has forgotten even the last words of his teacher, and of course he has long forgotten his fellow disciples." She said, waved her arms behind her head, untied a green silk with a bun, stretched out her hand to the face, and took a step forward, a strange face was peeled off like a snake shedding its shell, and suddenly changed to a delicate face under the candle. Alas...... This face...... I can't imagine that more than twenty years after her death, she is now in front of me again. ”
