Time.

Sometimes it's like a ditch in front of a woman, and there will always be a squeeze.

Sometimes it's like fine sand pinched between your fingers, you clench your fingers and try hard to keep it, but it quietly leaves easily, like a ruthless scumbag.

In his previous life, Cao Jun had always been a single dog, he had no research on women, and he was not qualified to be a scumbag.

But as time passed, he felt it.

The most intuitive experience is that the food and water he brought down are decreasing day by day.

There are not many Chinese medicines in the crockpot.

Cao Jun occasionally woke up from the meditation, and after taking the time to replenish food and water, he inspected the aura in the dantian again, and sometimes nodded with satisfaction, "The aura inhaled this time is several times more than the last time I entered the time." ”

Sometimes he shook his head regretfully, "It's not enough, I can break through the first realm of the Taishang Qi Refining Chapter 'Wangqi Realm', and barely enter the Qi Gathering Realm." ”

In the Liaozhai world, Cao Jun has a systematic killing value for him to exploit loopholes, but now, he can only introduce spiritual energy into his body step by step, and he can't get lucky.

The thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum discovered before was already a gift from God.

Time quietly shifted between Cao Jun's nod and shake of his head.

In the blink of an eye, the weather in late autumn has entered winter.

The temperature on the edge of the cliff also dropped.

There were several times when Cao Jun was woken up from the freeze, but fortunately, he was fully prepared this time, and after changing into a cold coat, he could barely withstand the cold on the edge of the cliff.

On a few other occasions, the cries of eagles close by could also disturb Cao Jun's retreat.

He also occasionally wandered in his heart, "It seems that the eagle is hunting around here, and you should be careful when you go up and down the cliff, if this eagle is used as prey, it will not be good." ”

A month later.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong, who had been down the mountain for a long time, came back.

Huashan has returned to its long-lost order.

This time, they went down the mountain for a few months, and first went to Hengyang to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony, but the Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony turned into a criticism and accountability meeting under the trouble of the Songshan faction Zuo Lengchan faction.

Lu Bai, who was a minion of Zuo Lengchan, led the disciples of the Songshan faction to surround Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, and threatened the lives of more than a few hundred people in his family to force him to hand over the whereabouts of the Demon Sect Elder Qu Yang, who flatly refused.

The Liu family was wiped out in full view of everyone.

Liu Zhengfeng, who witnessed all this throughout the whole process, was in pain, and he was nowhere to be found after escaping.

Even Mr. Mo Da, who is the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, was helpless, so he could only behead Zuo Lengchan's minion Lu Bai with a sword under the sneak attack, which could be regarded as avenging the family of his fellow junior brother Liu Zhengfeng.

This made Yue Buqun feel an imminent threat again.

If you can't master absolute strength, today's Huashan faction, which is tomorrow's Hengshan faction, will be swallowed up by Zuo Lengchan sooner or later.

Today's Zuo Lengchan uses the Wuyue Order Banner to wantonly exclude dissidents, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and the ambition of annexing other sword sects is clearly revealed, and it is no longer hidden.

Yue Buqun felt Alexander.

This is also the reason why he ignored the opposition and defeated Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, and Mu Gaofeng, the master of Mobei 'Saibei Ming Camel', and took Lin Pingzhi, the only survivor of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, as his subordinate.

After Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing ceremony was over, he temporarily changed his plan, summoned Ningzhong Zeze from the mountain gate by letter, and rushed to the old mansion of the Lin family in Fujian non-stop, intending to get the Lin family's evil sword spectrum.

Now that Lin Pingzhi has become his disciple and the legal heir of the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, Yue Buqun's moral pressure has plummeted.

There is another thing, that is, Ling Hu, the senior brother of the Huashan faction who has been wandering on the rivers and lakes for a long time, rushed back to Huashan.

Inside the hall of the head of the house.

Suddenly, there was an angry roar, "Let that son of a son go to the back mountain and think about it behind closed doors, and you will not be allowed to return to the mountain gate for at least a year." ”

Ling Hu Chong was waiting outside the door at this time, with an indescribable embarrassment on his face.

Ning Zhong, the master who had always loved him, went in on his behalf to plead with Yue Buqun.

The results were also not ideal.

Ling Hu Chong frowned, he went down the mountain this time, and he did a lot of things, making his name as the senior brother of the Huashan faction even louder.

At the same time, he also got into the bad reputation of colluding with the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang and swearing with the flower thief Tian Boguang as brothers of the opposite sex.

Especially after Yue Buqun got the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits.

The latter's inner ambition has also quietly taken root, and men's yearning for power and fame is no less than women's pursuit of beauty.

The desire for power was like a weed in spring, growing wildly in Yue Buqun's heart.

The merger of the Wuyue Sword Sect was imminent, and Zuo Lengchan thought that the leader of the Wuyue Alliance was in his pocket, which was really ridiculous.

Yue Buqun touched the brocade silk in his arms, and the expression on his face showed a trace of hesitation and struggle.

Ning Zhongze, who pleaded for Hu Chong, was standing beside him at this moment, "But Chong'er is now suffering from internal injuries, he should be treated in time, that Si Guo Ya Cave is cold and damp, if he misses the best time to heal, when the internal force in Chong'er's body is not controlled, his life's skills will be completely wasted." ”

Ning Zhong was still pleading on the side.

For some reason, after the trip from Fujian, she always felt that Yue Buqun was preoccupied, and there was some secret that was deliberately hiding from him.

Even in the attitude towards Ling Hu Chong, a disciple, there were serious differences with her.

Yue Buqun glanced at his junior sister, suddenly leaned his head over, and said with a complicated expression: "Do you know, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Chong'er has obtained the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, and now I let him think about it behind closed doors in the back mountain, but I am actually protecting him!" ”

"How is that possible? If Chong'er gets the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, he will definitely hand it over to Lin Pingzhi, and no matter how bad it is, he will tell us a word. ”

Ning Zhong was shocked by this unexpected news for a while.

She still wanted to protect Ling Hu Chong in her heart, but she also knew that at this critical moment, leaving Ling Hu Chong on Mount Hua was really protecting him.

Now the Lin family's evil sword spectrum is well known.

It is said that after cultivating the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, he can soar to the sky, not to mention invincible in the world, at least he can become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, which makes many people in the martial arts very red.

The two quickly ended their altercation.

After a while, Ning Zhong walked out of it worriedly, and said to Ling Hu Chong, who was still waiting outside the door: "Did you hear what I said with your master inside just now?" The sword spectrum to ward off evil is in your hands? ”

Ling Hu Chong had already thought about it in his heart, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a puff, "Senior Niang, before Lin Zhennan and his wife died, they did tell me the hiding place of the evil sword spectrum, but when Senior Brother Lin and I were looking for him in his hometown, a man in black was killed from behind at a critical moment, and we were knocked unconscious with three palms, and eighty percent of the evil sword spectrum was taken away by the man in black. ”

Ning Zhong was shocked again in the blink of an eye, "Have you ever told your master about this?" ”

Linghu Chong replied dejectedly: "I said it, but the master just told us not to make a noise, and he will deal with it." ”

"How should Senior Brother deal with it?"

Ning Zhong secretly pondered the conversation with Yue Buqun in the living room just now.

Once the rumors spread out, it would be difficult to stop, and the best way to deal with it was to let Ling Hu Chong stay on Huashan, with the protection of the Huashan faction, the other party could not find him for a while, so as to temporarily save his life.

"But the extent of her injuries?"

Ning Zhong was in a dilemma for a while.

She stretched out her hand to help Ling Hu Chong, and said distressedly: "You come with me, I will help you take the lower pulse." ”

A moment later, Ling Hu Chong walked out of Ning Zhongze's room dejectedly.

His internal injuries couldn't even be healed by his mother, and the other party just comforted him in the end, asking him to go to Houshan Siguo Cliff to live temporarily, Yue Buqun cultivated the Zixia secret book, and his internal strength was profound, and the other party would find an opportunity to intercede with Yue Buqun and let Yue Buqun heal him.

"Senior brother is back!"

"Hello senior brother."

Ling Hu Chong returned to his dormitory step by step, and along the way, many junior brothers and sisters of the Huashan faction greeted him affectionately, and their voices were full of admiration and admiration, which more or less dispelled a trace of anxiety in Ling Hu Chong's heart.

Now he is in a bad situation.

Many people in the rivers and lakes mistakenly thought that he had obtained the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits and was looking for him everywhere, and only by hiding on Mount Hua could he temporarily save his life, even so, the injuries in his body ......

Linghu Chong slowly returned to the dormitory, Xu was cleaning for him regularly, and he didn't come back for a few months, and the dormitory still maintained a clean and tidy appearance.

Ling Hu Chong's eyes swept around the room, and he suddenly found a wine gourd hanging on the wall.

He untied the wine gourd, shook it in his hand, and there was still half a pot of wine in it.

Ling Hu Chong's face was filled with a hint of joy.

He took off the cap of the bottle, poured a mouthful, and then sighed, "What joy is life, what is fear of death, how can I Ling Hu Chong be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Ling Hu Chong turned over and lay on the bed, and drank a few more sips of wine, already thinking about it in his heart.

"That man in black, snatched Senior Brother Lin's evil sword spectrum in front of us, I must go down the mountain again, snatch the Lin family's evil sword spectrum back, and return it to Senior Brother Lin, and it is not in vain that his parents entrusted me with their last words."

As for the grievances brought to him by the man in black, he had long been left behind.

The rivers and lakes were originally bloody and bloody, licking blood on the knife edge, if someone wants to retrieve the evil sword spectrum from him, and ask him about the sword in his hand first.

"Senior brother, are you in there?"

Just after Ling Hu Chong made a decision, there was a sudden urgent call outside the house.

Before he could turn over and get off the ground, the people outside the house were already in no hurry and broke in directly.

"Senior brother, go and see the land monkey, he was beaten so much that he couldn't get off the ground."

A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old suddenly rushed into the house.

She was wearing a bright skirt and a sharp sword in her hand, and her snow-white face was huddled together, and she was in a state of anger.

The graceful figure shook in front of Ling Hu Chong's eyes, and it dispelled the gloom in the room.

"Little junior sister, how are you pulling? Who you off? ”

Ling Hu Chong was still holding the wine gourd and was reluctant to let go, but was pulled up from the bed by the other party, "Senior brother, are you still in the mood to drink?" The land monkey was seriously injured, but you, the senior brother, ignored it and didn't care about the same senior brother at all. ”

The person who came was Yue Lingshan, the little junior sister of the Huashan faction.

She and Ling Hu Chong have been two childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two grew up together playing and practicing martial arts, while Lu Dayou only went up the mountain a few years later, and they got along day and night for a long time, and the relationship between senior brothers and sisters was also the deepest.

Hearing that Lu Dayou was injured, Ling Hu Chong drank the wine in the wine gourd in three or two sips, and a carp turned over and jumped off the bed, with a hint of worry on his face, chasing Yue Lingshan and asking: "Who injured Senior Brother Lu, could it be that during the time we went down the mountain, there were thieves going up the mountain?" ”

Yue Lingshan didn't bother to explain to him, and directly urged Ling Hu Chong to run out, "Oh, come with me and ask him in person." ”

A moment later, the two appeared in Lu Dayou's bedroom.

"What? The person who injured you is called Cao Jun, a new disciple who has only been in the field for half a year? ”

Ling Hu Chong's face was full of incredulity after hearing this, and Lu Dayou, who was on the hospital bed, had already put the shame behind him, gritted his teeth and said: "This Cao Jun is said to have brought art up the mountain, but just by studying with the same door, he broke a few ribs in my waist, and the master said after helping me heal...... said that I was seriously injured by this, leaving the root of the disease, and it will be difficult for me to grow in martial arts in the future. ”

"Senior brother, you are back, but you have to make the decision for me."

The insult that Cao Jun brought him before reappeared in his mind again, thinking of the cold words of those junior brothers and sisters to him, Lu Da seemed to have a great grievance for a while, and as he spoke, he actually put his face on the quilt and cried.

How can there be any manly spirit?

Before Linghu Chong could say anything, Yue Lingshan, who was standing on the side, was made unbearable by Lu Dayou's behavior, and suddenly slapped the bed, "Lu Monkey, where is Cao Jun now?" You can recuperate in bed, and my senior brother and I will make decisions for you. ”

"After Cao Jun injured me, he was punished by the head of the house and went to the back mountain to think about the cliff."

Yue Lingshan picked up Linghu Chong again, and rushed to the back mountain angrily.

"Senior brother, after seeing that Cao Jun for a while, you used my sword to fight with him, teach him a good lesson, and then let him go to the land monkey to admit his mistakes, why did you have such a heavy hand between the same door?"

After a while, the two of them came to the cave in front of Siguo Cliff.

Yue Lingshan saw that Linghu was in a hurry, and now he was still barehanded, worried that he would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly handed over the sword in his hand to him.

The two looked outside the cave for a while, and were about to go in, but they never thought that a person would come out of the cave, which was the tension that brought food to Cao Jun.

Zhang Leng saw the angry two, and shrank back in fright for a while.

Yue Lingshan's eyes were quick, and he rushed to him in three or two steps, holding his sword and asking, "Are you Cao Jun?" But you beat the land monkey to a serious injury? ”

The second batch of initiation disciples of the Huashan faction consisted of fifty or sixty men and women, and Zhang Li, like Cao Jun, had only been on the mountain for half a year, and soon after, Ling Hu Chong and Yue Lingshan were ordered to go to Fujian, because they did not know Zhang Li.

But tension knows them.

Among the disciples of the Huashan faction, the senior brother Ling Hu Chong and the junior sister Yue Lingshan are two who are in the limelight.

Zhang Zhang just glanced at the two of them, and saw Yue Lingshan looking like he was asking for guilt, and he didn't understand their intentions, so he immediately shouted for Cao Jun and said, "It turns out that it is Senior Brother and Senior Sister, I am Zhang Li, who is responsible for delivering food to Senior Brother Cao." ”

"When Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Lu were fighting, I was also at the scene, and the two of them didn't stop their hands for a while, which caused each other to be injured, and Senior Brother Cao was also stabbed by Senior Brother Lu with a sword, and it took a long time to recover."

Yue Lingshan was originally angry, and thought that Cao Jun, who injured Lu Dayou, was a sinister and cunning villain, but after listening to Zhang Li's explanation at this moment, half of the anger in his heart disappeared.

However, when she recalled Lu Dayou's miserable appearance lying on the hospital bed, she still planned to meet this Cao Jun, and if the other party had a good attitude of admitting his mistake, she would drag him to apologize to Lu Dayou.

If the other party is skilled in martial arts and does not repent, let the senior brother Ling Hu next to him rush out of the horse and teach him a good lesson.

Cao Jun and Lu Dayou were both injured during the competition, and presumably their martial arts skills are not very good.

But Ling Hu Chong didn't think so.

He has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he naturally thinks more far-reaching.

A new disciple who has only been in the field for half a year, even if he takes his art up the mountain, how can he injure Lu Dayou, who has been cultivating on Huashan for more than ten years?

Could it be that the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction is not as good as that of the new disciple's family.

There must be something hidden in it.

Either this junior brother named Cao Jun is amazingly talented and gorgeous, and he is a martial arts genius who has not been seen in a century, or the two of them used means when they were fighting, which led to the situation of hurting each other.

In any case, when we meet, we must ask clearly.

Before they met, Ling Hu Chong had a strong interest in this new disciple Cao Jun, who had only been in the business for half a year.

Ling Hu Chong and Yue Lingshan had different thoughts, and both of them wanted to see Cao Jun impatiently, either to ask for an understanding, or to see the real chapter under their hands.

Seeing that the two of them were still planning to break into the cave, Zhang Li hurriedly explained in the back: "Senior Brother Cao is in retreat near the cave at the moment to practice internal strength, and is not in the cave, if Senior Brother and Senior Sister want to see him, I can help run errands and pass the word, and when he comes out next time, I will definitely go to see him." ”

"Don't let you worry about it, we'll arrange it freely."

Yue Lingshan took away the tension in three or two strokes, and still broke into the cave without giving up.

Although this cave is empty and the area is not large, you can see the bottom at a glance, the two of them stood at the entrance and glanced at it, but did not find Cao Jun's figure.

Yue Lingshan still didn't give up, and directly found a stone to sit on it, "Hmph! I'm just waiting here, and I don't believe he won't come out to eat. ”

The two waited at the entrance of the cave for a while, but they still didn't see Cao Jun, the patience in Yue Lingshan's heart was running out little by little, and the little compassion for Cao Jun that she had before had already been consumed on the way to wait.
