Chapter 50: Too Void
When I woke up in the morning, Sakura Ling was not around.
I went out and saw the maid, so I asked where Sakura Ling went, and the maid said that it was in the back mountain, so I asked the maid to take me there.
Walked through a courtyard, walked for a long time to the back mountain, but saw a stone tomb on the back mountain, Sakura Ling was kneeling in front of the tomb, holding incense in his hand, reading something in his mouth, there were two maids standing next to him, one holding a bamboo basket, the basket was full of paper money, and the other was holding a coat made of mink velvet, the maid said softly, Miss, the wind is strong in the back mountain, or put the coat on.
I walked over, and when the two maids saw me, they were about to salute, and I shook my hand, took the coat from the maid's hand, and gently draped it over Sakura's body.
When Sakura Ling turned around and saw that it was me, she stood up and told the maid to burn the paper money in front of the tomb.
Sakura Ling said, this is my mother's grave.
I looked down at the tombstone and saw that the tombstone read: Ling Xu's wife Sakura.
I was stunned and said that you had your mother's surname.
Sakura said yes. When I came back this time, I pestered my father to ask the cause of my mother's death, and he still said that he died of illness as before, and asked my grandfather and uncles, and they all said so. I don't believe their words, if my mother really died of illness, how could she not wake me up at night to see her for the last time? Daddy said that I was young at that time, and I was afraid that I would not be able to accept it, and when my mother died, Chang Yunzi was also present. I went to ask Changyunzi again, and Changyunzi swore to me, insisting that Daddy was right.
I groaned for a while and said maybe your mother is really ......
Sakura Ling shook her head and said that day, when I woke up, my mother was already in the funeral, and the coffin lid had already been nailed. That night, my father hurriedly buried my mother. Don't say that we Wudang have some fame, but we are ordinary people, how can we bury people one day? I was young and ignorant at that time, and I only knew how to cry. Now that I'm older, I feel more and more suspicious when I think about it. Changyunzi should know the reason for my mother's death, and my father was afraid that he couldn't help but talk to me, so he sent him to his grandfather to learn martial arts, so from childhood to adulthood, I rarely met Changyunzi.
I then remembered that I hadn't seen the Taixu Daoist in the past two days, and asked, doesn't the Taixu Daoist live here?
Ying Ling shook his head and said that since the end of the last martial arts alliance master bidding competition, my grandfather has concentrated on cultivation, afraid of being disturbed by others, and lives on the mountain on the left, but the affairs of Wudang have gradually been handed over to my father. Grandpa loves me, and he always comes to Zixiao Palace every month to play with me. If I want to go down the mountain to play, my father will refuse, but my grandfather will not discourage me, and often ask his four sons to accompany me. Although my grandfather and I were close, he refused to tell me the reason for my mother's death.
I said, this time, should I go to pay a visit to my grandfather?
Sakura Ling nodded and said that you don't need to go to the shrine, my father has already sent someone to spread the word yesterday, and it will definitely come today.
After speaking, Sakura Ling said to the maid, you go down, if Daddy asks me where I am, you will say that it is in the back mountain.
The maid was blessed and returned to Zixiao Palace.
Sakura walked around the grave and walked straight ahead, not knowing what she was going to do, so I followed.
After walking dozens of feet, I made a detour and found that there was a cliff in front of me.
I grabbed Sakura Ling and said be careful. Sakura Ling stopped, looked at the snow-capped mountains and forests opposite, and said that this is my favorite place. When I was a child, my mother also grabbed me and didn't let me get too close to the cliff, I wanted to see what was under the cliff, so my mother carried me and carefully moved to the edge of the cliff. We looked down and saw the white clouds drifting slowly, like smoke and mist, and occasionally through the gap of the white clouds, it was also bottomless. I asked my mother what was underneath, and my mother said that it was heaven, and that we people of Wudang, if we died, our souls would sink to the bottom and reunite with our ancestors. Since it is a paradise, I think it must be a place where the water is colored by the mountains and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
I walked over and leaned over to look down, Sakura Ling said in the back, be careful.
I said it was okay, and when I looked down, it was all white clouds, one after another, and cotton was the same. I was waiting for the gap between the white clouds, and I wanted to see what was going on below from the gap, and suddenly the picture flashed in my mind, it was a scene where I wanted to push me off the cliff.
I was full of wonderful true qi, and I turned sharply, my legs sank, and I gathered my breath and raised my palms. But I saw that there was only Sakura Ling behind him, and there was no old way.
Sakura Ling said what's wrong?
I said that I just saw an old Taoist priest pushing me off a cliff, but when I turned around, there was no one, which is really strange.
Sakura Ling knew my ability, took two steps forward and grabbed me and said, what kind of old way is that?
I said that I was dressed in black, with a black crown, and my eyebrows and beard were all white, and I looked quite thin. His eyebrows are long, though.
I gestured to my cheekbones with my hand, and Sakura blurted out, that's grandpa!
At this time, a maid came to report that the head of the house had arrived in the hall and asked Sakura Ling to come with me.
I whispered as I walked, your grandfather wants to kill me.
Sakura Ling said Brother Shan, don't worry. Grandpa is very good and won't kill you. If he really wants to kill you, I will tear down his old bones.
Walk through the courtyards and come to the hall of Zixiao Palace. There were many people standing in the hall, and Ling Xudao was also there. I saw that the Taixu Dao Chief was drinking tea, wearing a black dress and a black Dao crown, thin and with long eyebrows. It's the same as what I saw in my sixth sense.
I was looking at the void when Sakura pulled me down and bowed down.
Taixu Daoist put down the teacup, held up the two of us, and said with a sneer Ling'er, your husband has great skills, and the Qingfeng double sword, the treasure of our Wudang Zhenshan, has been destroyed by him.
I was embarrassed. Ying Ling took the hand of the Taixu Dao Chief, and said with a smile, Isn't Brother Shan's Overlord Sword also broken? Qingfeng Twin Sword Wudang has been used for all these years, and the Overlord Sword is gone as soon as it comes out of the rivers and lakes, and it is still our Wudang who has taken advantage.
Taixu Dao was stunned for a long time, and knocked on the door of Sakura Ling's head with his hand, saying that he was about to be a mother or such nonsense.
Then Taixu pointed at Changyunzi and said that last time you and Zhishan both broke their swords, and there was no difference in swordsmanship. This time, the two of them competed again, so that I could see how capable my grandson-in-law was.
Changyunzi came out in response, and a Taoist boy took out two swords, one for Changyunzi and one for me. Everyone retreated, leaving a large area of space.
Sakura Ling said Grandpa, let's stop fighting. Last time, Chang Yunzi was beaten half to death, and his life was almost gone. Don't let him make a fool of himself this time.
Taixu Dao Chang raised his face and said, if it weren't for this kid pretending to be the Divine Sword Sect, Chang Yunzi would be too light on the enemy, how could he be injured?
Sakura Ling said with a smile, if you don't underestimate the enemy, you may not be able to win, he just has a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and my mountain brother can beat him two.
Changyunzi has been practicing martial arts with me since he was a child, and he has learned the essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship. It is rumored that the Baiyun Sword Technique is not lost to the Dharma Vajra Sword, but I have never seen anyone use it, and my Wudang Taiji Sword may not be lost to the Baiyun Sword Technique.
said to Changyunzi, you fight well, if you lose, take off your robe and return to vulgarity.
Changyunzi trembled, hugged his sword and said to me, please.
I shook my head and said, saying that our swordsmanship is equal, even if we fight until tomorrow, we may not be able to distinguish the winner or loser, so how about a tie?
But Sakura Ling said to me, Brother Shan, be careful, if you want to be humble, others may not be like you. It's better to beat him half to death, be careful that Changyunzi loses and sneaks up on you when you are careless.
Chang Yunzi shouted angrily, Senior Sister, am I Chang Yunzi this kind of person?
Saying that, a sword stabbed in, and the sword wind was fierce, and the swordsmanship was much better than that day in Tianlei Mountain.
I have no choice, use "go to stab nothing", Changyunzi's sword shook, changed the stab to the top pick, I sneaked Daruma Qi, the sword body was horizontal, and I wanted to cut off his sword. How do you know that Changyunzi's moves are not old, one spin, and the pick is changed to chop. I saw the momentum of the sword, and used "go and cut nothing", and a sword hit the blade of Chang Yunzi, the blade was cracked, the sword head was broken, and the "whoosh" flew into the crowd.
Someone in the crowd drew his sword, struck the head of the sword, and the head of the sword flew towards me. I subconsciously used the "flick of my fingers to fly" and flicked the sword head back. A finger stretched out, suddenly regretted, what if the other party can't catch it?
But he saw that the man drew a circle with the sword, and the head of the sword was castrated, and the man copied the head of the sword on the body of the sword.
The man smiled "hehe" and said that since Ling'er said that you can beat two Changyunzi, I will try. Saying that, the sword body shook, and the sword head flew over again, and the person followed the sword head with a sword stab, and the speed was so fast that it was better than Changyunzi. I was shocked, and the voice that heard that person speak was the person who had injured me before, Daoist Ling Du.
Changyunzi was cut off the head of the sword, and he had already collected the sword and did not fight, but at this time, he also used the broken sword to swing his sword.
In a hurry, I bowed my head to avoid the head of the sword, and even made "go to stab nothing" and "go to cut nothing", Ling Du Dao's long sword technique is much better than Chang Yunzi, the sword body does not touch my sword, just draw a circle, trying to entangle my sword, let Chang Yunzi cut me.
I didn't have time to "go to the twist", and with a flick of the fingers of my left hand, I hit Chang Yunzi's sword, Chang Yunzi couldn't hold the sword, and the sword flew towards the crowd again.
I didn't care if it would hurt anyone, I drew the sword with my right hand, and wanted to draw the sword from the circle drawn by the person, but I felt that the sword was like inserting it into a stone crack, and it was difficult to pull it out.
At this time, Changyunzi retreated, but two more people came up with swords, and the age should also be Yingling's uncle. I was horrified, the Taixu Dao Elder really wanted to kill me, these were planned a long time ago. I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and I transported the Dharma Heart Sutra to the extreme, shouted loudly, and drew my sword with both hands.
As soon as the sword was pulled out of the circle, two more Dao Masters put their hands on Ling Du's back, and the sword suddenly did not move, and he couldn't pull out the slightest, at this time, the other two Dao Masters had already arrived, I let go of my left hand, and my right hand was still holding the sword. I clenched my left hand into a fist and used the Dharma Vajra Fist to wrestle with the two Taoist masters.
I shouted, Sakura!
Only then did Sakura Ling realize that something was wrong, and he held the Taixu Dao with both hands and shouted, Grandpa, tell them to stop, they want to kill Brother Shan!
Taixu Daoist "hummed", and pointed at the cherry spirit Baihui acupoint, and the cherry spirit suddenly fainted. Chang Yunzi took a step forward to support Sakura Ling, picked her up and walked to the inner hall.
The Taixu Dao Leader winked, and several more Dao Masters joined the battle group.
At this time, my left hand could not cope with it for a long time, and I carried the wonderful true qi in my body, and used the golden bell jar to resist the swords of several people, and my right hand was finally defeated by the combined efforts of several people, and the sword was taken off.
I used the Dharma Vajra fist with both hands to defend, but I was facing a first-class master of Wudang, and there was no weapon in my hand, so I only fought for a moment, and a lot of convenience was already under the sword, although there was a golden bell shield to protect the body, the place where I was stabbed was still a hot pain. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my back, I grabbed a sword with my right hand, and turned my head to see that it was the law enforcement elder, I praised "good sword", pinched the sword and wanted to take it. The law enforcement elder drew his sword violently, the blade of the sword cut through my palm, and the sword body was blood-red.
