Chapter 719 Revealing the True Face
Zhan Mubai said coldly: "Heavenly Wolf, if you make Wudang's Taiji swordsmanship, I may still be able to believe it, but your two-way swordsmanship was taught to Qu Caifeng by Xu Linzong back then, and everyone knows about it, so Qu Caifeng passed on the Liangyi swordsmanship to you, and with your martial arts, learn this swordsmanship, but it is not strange at all." Besides, what you just used was not Wudang's pure Yang Wuji internal strength, but driven by other mental methods, although footwork and swordsmanship are Wudang tricks, but this does not prove that you are from Wudang! ”
Li Cangxing didn't expect Zhan Mubai to even believe in the Liangyi swordsmanship, so he put the sword into the sheath and said in a deep voice: "How can you believe it?" ”
Zhan Mubai sneered: "If you kill Qu Caifeng and bring her head, I will believe you, how about it!" ”
Li Cangxing sighed, he sensed the forest again, within a hundred steps, there was no third living person approaching, he nodded, and said: "Brother Zhan, it seems that only by announcing the identity of the subordinate to you, I hope this can win your trust." ”
Zhan Mubai said expressionlessly: "Aren't you the former Jinyi Wei Heavenly Wolf, who else can you be?" ”
Li Cangxing glanced at the Wushan faction in the distance, pointed to the peak of the back mountain of the Wushan faction, and said: "Brother Zhan, have you ever remembered that when you joined forces with the Emei faction to attack the Wushan faction, you and Sima Daxia once made a detour to the back mountain and wanted to sneak attack, but Shangguan Wu and Leng Tianxiong were ambushed below. ”
Zhan Mubai's face changed: "Are you?" ”
Li Cangxing said slowly: "Zhan Daxia still remembers, before the Battle of Luoyue Gorge, you and a group of Huashan disciples came to my martial arts. In the next has personally received and led Mr. Yue Dang Yue? ”
Zhan Mubai's voice began to tremble slightly: "Could it be." Could it be that you are Li ......, who has been missing for many years?"
Li Cangxing tore off the mask on his face and revealed his true face: "Senior Brother Zhan." It is Li Cangxing below! ”
Zhan Mubai was so shocked that he took two steps back, opened his mouth wide, and said in a lost voice: "What, how could it be you?" The rivers and lakes have been looking for you all these years, how did you get into Jinyiwei? ”
Li Cangxing sighed, put back his mask, his eyes were blazing, and said, "Now Brother Zhan is willing to believe my words?" ”
Zhan Mubai froze and looked around vigilantly. sneered: "What are your intentions to expose your identity in front of me?" Li Cangxing, whom I knew back then, was a martial arts warrior who adhered to the right path, and since you left Emei, you have been willing to degenerate, first joining Jinyiwei, and then colluding with Qu Caifeng, these are also what I saw with my own eyes, can you still deny it? ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "These are all facts. It's just that I left Wudang back then, and I was ordered by Ziguang Zhenren to infiltrate various factions and want to investigate the undercover agents sent by Lu Bing, if you don't believe it. You can ask the Emei faction's Lin Zhangmen, Liu Nuxia, and Tang Nuxia for verification. ”
Zhan Mubai nodded: "I should verify this matter afterwards." But even so, you later joined Jinyiwei. It's also an indisputable thing, isn't it possible that you entered Jinyiwei to go undercover to investigate? Could it be that you are colluding with Qu Caifeng. Is it also for our righteous martial arts? ”
Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "Zhan Daxia, I don't want to explain my experience over the years one by one, and time does not allow, entering Jinyiwei is to inherit my master's will and be a person who benefits the common people and the country, but Lu Bing betrayed me, so I later betrayed Jinyiwei, as for Miss Qu, I was the same as you at the beginning, I wanted to get rid of her and then quickly, but after more contact with her, I found that she was not a ferocious person like the Demon Sect. When the Wushan faction was destroyed, you and Sima Daxia also saw that most of her faction were orphans and widows, which shows that she is not a bad person by nature. ”
Zhan Mubai nodded: "I can barely believe what you said, when we eliminated the Wushan faction, we saw those orphans and widows disappearing, and we couldn't bear it somewhat, so later our Demon League stopped chasing Qu Caifeng, but this time, she returned to the Central Plains, and returned to Leng Tianxiong's subordinates to become a member of the Demon Sect, this is her own death, not that we forced her to suffer." ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Qu Caifeng wants to use the power of the Demon Sect to temporarily develop herself, and Leng Tianxiong also wants her to win over the various factions in the Green Forest and use it for her own use, the last time the Wushan faction was destroyed, Qu Caifeng's enemies were Yan Shifan and the Dongting Gang, so even if she wants to rebuild Wushan, she will definitely not be the enemy of your Demon Alliance, I can guarantee this." ”
Zhan Mubai pondered for a long time and nodded: "Okay, for the sake of you Senior Brother Li, and you once saved me, this time I will believe you once, but I have an appointment with the Dongting Gang in advance, if I don't say goodbye, it will ruin the relationship between the two families, you can let Qu Caifeng pretend to attack us here and make a show, and then we will fulfill our promise to the Dongting Gang, and we can get the benefits we agreed in advance." ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Then thank you so much Zhan Daxia, tomorrow I will let Miss Qu do this, remember, this matter is confidential, as long as Zhan Daxia knows." ”
Zhan Mubai put his sword back into its sheath and said, "Heavenly Wolf, why haven't you returned to Wudang for so many years?" ”
Li Cangxing felt a pain in his heart, and sighed: "Wudang is no longer the Wudang of the past, things are people, there are too many misunderstandings, now Senior Brother Xu is doing a good job there, she, she is also very good, if I go back, it will only make a bad thing, forget it." ”
Zhan Mubai shook his head: "But I see that Miss Mu seems to be looking for you all along, and she has asked us to help inquire about your whereabouts many times." ”
Li Cangxing sighed: "After a long time, she will naturally let go, now she is very good, and I am also very good, so be it." Oh, by the way, Brother Zhan, there is one thing I think needs to explain clearly, when we were in the desert, Yang Nuxia and I were just acting for Helian Ba to show them, it was really innocent, you don't have to misunderstand. ”
Zhan Mubai smiled bitterly: "Misunderstanding or not, what can it do?" You also know my secret, Qionghua is a good girl, it's a pity that I have nothing to do with her, but you, if you can become a couple with her, it's really good, in fact, you don't need to explain. I saw the palace sand on Qionghua's hand, and I knew that you were innocent with her. ”
Li Cangxing was slightly stunned: "Shougong Sha? What is that? ”
Zhan Mubai blinked: "You are dozens of years old." I don't even know about this. ”
Li Cangxing didn't know anything about these men and women before, and he didn't marry a wife when he became an adult. In this regard, he is no different from an idiot, he shook his head blankly: "It turns out that when I was in Wudang, no one told me this. ”
Zhan Mubai laughed: "Your master is really a righteous gentleman, probably before you marry a wife, I will tell you this, okay, this palace sand is a sign used to mark the "chastity" of unmarried women, if you feed the gecko with cinnabar, the gecko's whole body will become red. Wait until the gecko eats seven catties of cinnabar. The gecko is smashed and pounded with a thousand pestles, and then the virgin's limbs are dyed with it, and the color will not fade. It is only after sexual intercourse that its color fades away, and it is called "Shougong Sand". ”
Li Cangxing swallowed a bubble of saliva: "Is there really such a spirit? He began to recall that when he practiced sword with Mu Lanxiang before, he did see a little cinnabar on her left arm, and he thought it was a mole, and wondered why the mole was different from others, but Feng Wu and Qu Caifeng's arms. It doesn't seem to be there, but when you think about it, it seems like it's really like that.
Zhan Mubai smiled mysteriously: "Well, this is something that everyone knows, but I can't think of you but I don't know." Looks like you should have gotten married sooner. ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "The revenge of the teacher has not been avenged, how dare you speak up!" Brother Zhan, I'm just like you. The mortal enemies of this life are the Demon Sect and Yan Shifan's father and son, and the purpose of returning to the southeast this time. It was also to establish my own power, and I was born and died in Jinyiwei over the years. The matter of revenge is far away, and I also understand a truth, relying on the court and the government, those people will change their hexagrams at any time, for their own interests, they may cooperate with the Yan father and son at any time, and naturally it is impossible to eliminate the demon sect supported by the dog father and son, only by mastering their own power and no longer being controlled by others, it is possible to do this. ”
Zhan Mubai sighed: "Heavenly wolf, I know this truth the most, Senior Brother Sima and I dream every day that we want to kill the Black Wood Cliff, cut off Leng Tianxiong's head with our own hands, and avenge the master, sister and sister, but just the two of us, we are still weak, so we turned to run the sect and recruit more disciples, but to feed so many people, we can't do without the support of the important ministers in the court, I thought that these ministers of the Qing school and the Yan Party do not share the sky, and they will naturally fully support us to deal with the Demon Sect, It's a pity that these ministers also have their own ghosts, and they are also fighting with the Yan Party without breaking it, and they often order us not to seek revenge from the Demon Sect, the last time they destroyed the Wushan faction, they actually let us cooperate with the Yan Party once, if it weren't for the livelihood of thousands of disciples, I wouldn't have listened to them a long time ago. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "So if you want to defeat the Demon Sect, you can only defeat Yan Shifan behind him, we used to think too simply, this Yan Shifan's power is all over the sky, even the Japanese in the southeast, and he is also in a group, this time I directly opened a sect in the southeast, just for his line, once the income from the southeast coast, the Yan Party is bound to be annoyed and angry, and when the time comes, it will order the Demon Sect to fight back desperately, and then we will set up an ambush to destroy the Demon Sect, which is a logical thing." ”
A hint of joy flashed in Zhan Mubai's eyes, and then he thought of something, and shook his head: "But Fujian has Putian Southern Shaolin, they will allow you to open a sect in Zhejiang and Fujian so lightly?" I'm afraid it's not easy. I've been dealing with Shaolin Temple for many years, and they don't give up an inch of land to the sphere of influence. ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "So the purpose of my coming to Brother Zhan today is the matter of Qu Caifeng mentioned earlier, and the second thing is the martial arts conference in South Shaolin, Putian in a month and a half, I hope you can participate in it by then." ”
Zhan Mubai was slightly stunned: "What martial arts conference?" ”
Li Cangxing lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "We are going to lure the Japanese in Fujian to go deep into the interior, and then gather and annihilate them, once these Japanese invaders fail in the frontal battle, they will turn into small units, scatter and flee, and it is very difficult to catch them, so I discussed with General Qi, who is in charge of military affairs in Fujian, and let Southern Shaolin lead the heroes of the rivers and lakes to gather in Putian in the name of holding a martial arts conference, and then take the opportunity to eliminate the Japanese invaders." ”
Zhan Mubai shook his head: "No, Heavenly Wolf, no one will do anything for others, even if we come back to help the Dongting Gang, people have also promised real benefits, the Demon Extermination Conference of the year, if it wasn't for the promise to capture the Demon Sect's Black Wood Cliff General Altar, the Demon Sect's treasures would be hidden for many years." Martial arts cheats, magic weapons. and the rudder of their various places are distributed one by one, and the Central Plains decency will not be so active. I want to hold a martial arts conference of that scale again. Without the name of destroying demons or huge practical benefits, no one will listen to you, even if it is the Wudang faction you came from, Xu Linzong will not do this kind of thing, this is one of them. ”
"Second, if the elites of all factions are exhausted, their hometown will be empty, and now compared with those years, there is one more hero in Saibei. The ancestral land of our Huashan faction has not been restored, but we have to travel thousands of miles to Nan Shaolin, just to fight what kind of widows, this kind of thing of sacrificing the near and far, even if there are practical interests, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade the disciples to carry out, and I Zhan Mubai personally is also unwilling. What's more, to do this kind of thing, you often have to ask for the order of the martial arts alliance leader. Back then, when the Wudang Mountain fought for the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, I don't think you will forget it. The Demon League has not had a clear leader over the years, so who will contact and preside over this conference? ”
"Thirdly, it's this kind of contact. It's not a short time, Sirius, you also ran this kind of contact back then. It should be well known that each faction must notify the lay disciples of its own gang to come to fight, and the four factions must first reach a consensus. This correspondence and gathering and deliberation took several months, plus time for lay disciples to be gathered. I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the trip in half a year, and the momentum is so big, even if it's a wolf, it's impossible not to know. If they knew that there were so many people coming from Nan Shaolin, they would have been too frightened to attack. ”
Li Cangxing silently listened to Zhan Mubai's words, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan is really thoughtful, at first glance, he can think about the stakes so clearly, the wolf really admires." ”
Zhan Mubai smiled faintly and touched his smooth chin: "I have been in charge for a long time, I have to consider the overall situation, why, the Sky Wolf Hero already has a countermeasure to these things?" ”
Li Cangxing nodded, and said with a straight face: "This is the first, the name of righteousness is to have it, I won't tell you, before I set off, I have asked Qi Jijun to greet the important ministers of the Qing faction, and asked the old Xu Ge to repair the book, and ask the various factions of the Fu Demon Alliance to send elite disciples and masters to gather in Southern Shaolin to discuss how to deal with me, the newly rising Black Dragon Society." With Xu Ge Lao's personal order, presumably you don't have to spend time and effort contacting and discussing everywhere, each faction can decide for itself. ”
Zhan Mubai shook his head: "Heavenly Wolf, you may think a little simply, even if Xu Ge Lao ordered, no one is willing to do anything that is not beneficial, at most just send one or two masters with dozens of disciples to deal with it, your Black Dragon Society is now with the Central Plains factions without grudges, our primary enemy is the Demon Sect and Qu Caifeng, throw them away and go to Fujian to have a meeting to deal with the Black Dragon Society, this is really a bit unreasonable." ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "You listen to me, just now you talked about the benefits, I sue you, this time we exterminated the Japanese Invaders, especially the Hengyu Island where the leader Mao Haifeng has been entrenched for many years a while ago, the silver treasures there add up to tens of millions of taels, and I privately left four million taels, if the Demon League can come to this conference this time, one million taels per faction will be used as a gift." ”
Zhan Mubai only gets more than 200,000 taels of silver from the ministers of the Qing School every year, and when he heard that Li Cangxing was so generous, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "How embarrassing is this, but if there is a heavy gift of money, it can really make all factions tempted." It's just that this solves the first problem, our people can come, but if it is useless, I am afraid that you will feel distressed when you spend this money. ”
Li Cangxing's eyes flashed coldly: "Since I want to fight this battle, I must be fully prepared, I don't need too many people, but the elite masters of each faction, especially the disciples who are excellent in light skills and good at chasing and killing, can each send five or six hundred such disciples, and there is no need to gather the lay disciples who have been down the mountain for many years with great fanfare, I think Zhan Daxia and the other three factions, like you came to the Wushan faction this time to dispatch a thousand people, it should be possible at any time." plus the two or three thousand monks and soldiers of Southern Shaolin itself, the number is enough. ”
Zhan Mubai nodded: "But in this way, the elites of each faction are exhausted, and the interior will be empty, Shaolin Wu is a big family, maybe it's better, but my Huashan faction has a few hundred elite masters, if the hero gate comes to attack at this time, I'm afraid that even Hengshan can't hold it." And the problem of the alliance leader, how can it be solved? ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Hero Gate, I will ask the master of the Jinyi Wei faction to temporarily help guard Heng Mountain, this trip to the desert, there has been suspicion between Helian Ba and Altan Khan, the monarch and minister, from now on, the Hero Gate, a semi-official Mongolian sect, will also be a pure martial arts sect, and begin to enter the Central Plains, your worries are indeed justified, but the Mongolian forces entering the Central Plains will itself cause the emperor to be alert, I will let Lu Bing send people to entangle them first, so that they have no time to attack your Heng Mountain." ”
Zhan Mubai sneered: "Heavenly Wolf, are you overestimating your strength? Who is Lu Bing? Will I listen to you because you have been in Jinyiwei before? I don't believe it! ”
Li Cangxing said with a smile: "This time I came to help Qu Caifeng get out of danger, it is because of Lu Bing's strength, if you don't believe it, you will know at a glance when the fight starts tomorrow, and my Eastern Emperor Tai'a sword, which is Lu Bing's sword, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it, and now it is in my hands, isn't it the best proof?"
