Chapter Seventy-Eight: Return the Sword and Go Up the Mountain

After Yuntai Ridge, go further north, and you can reach Cuifeng Mountain at sunrise.

Wu Yingji's subordinates showed mercy, let Fang Shuo go, and let him go. Although Fang Shuo was also a little injured because of this, it was not a big problem, the impact was very small, and it didn't take long.

In this battle, Fang Shuo can be regarded as exhausting his means, and he is already exhausted in his skills. But Wu Yingji didn't use all his strength, his martial arts cultivation was extremely high, compared to Huo Changkong, it was all over it.

Fang Shuo was able to pass through Wu Yingji's hands, it was a fluke. If there was no Xuanshuang Sword to help, it would definitely not be enough for him to rely on the "Tiangang Thunder Method" that was only a little successful.

Fortunately, Wu Yingji released the water very well, and Fang Shuo was able to return the sword without violating his original intention and going north.

As before, in order to prevent any more small nights, Fang Shuo still chose a small path to walk.

After descending the Yuntai Ridge and passing through the dense forest step by step, Fang Shuo used the wind character seal to hide his traces, and then used the aura to heal the injury on his right shoulder, and hurried away in the starry night.

Fang Shuo first met a young monk who wanted to exchange a carriage for a Xuanshuang Sword on the south bank of the Haining River, and then deceived a large group of mountain cultivators who were ambushed on the river with a watercharacter seal, and later fought with Wu Yingji on the Yuntai Ridge.

When he was still more than ten miles away from Cuifeng Mountain, Fang Shuo came to a hill full of meadows.

Walking on the hilly ground, Fang Shuo only took less than sixty or seventy steps before he once again encountered a group of more than a dozen menacing monks.

The leader shouted at Fang Shuo and asked, "Stop, who are you and where do you want to go?" ”

Fang Shuo glanced up at the night sky and said, "Look at this day, it's a good day, let's take advantage of the prosperity to go north." I don't know what's going on with fellow Daoists? If you're all in a hurry, we'll meet another day. I'm in a little anxious, and I won't disturb your Yaxing, let's take our leave, don't send it, let's leave it, that's it, ah. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shuo immediately set off to move forward, but the leading monk stopped him again: "Stop, don't move, will I let you go?" Boy, what's your name? Register your name. ”

Fang Shuo replied directly: "Under the surname Fang, a single name is a Shuo character." Why, could it be that this old brother is an old man who wants to invite me to dinner. Oops, free, free. I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first. We'll talk about eating later. ”

The man in the lead shouted again: "Don't be busy yet, let me ask you, you are in such a hurry, but you are going to Cuifeng Mountain?" Don't say I didn't say hello beforehand, you can't leave now. Unless, you hand over the relics of the Xuanshuang real person. We can still let you go. ”

Hearing his words, Fang Shuo sneered, frowned, and said, "The relics of the Xuanshuang real person? Brother, in more than 20 days, Xuanshuang Zhenren will go to Jiuhuan Island to give a lecture. You curse him like this, if Xuanshuang Zhenren knows, I'm afraid your life will not be guaranteed. ”

The man in the lead laughed when he heard this, pointed at Fang Shuo and said, "Hahaha, you idiot still want to lie to me?" Xuanshuang Zhenren had already died a month ago, where would he go to Jiuhuan Island to preach any scriptures. When the time comes, I'm afraid that only his soul will go. Lao Tzu will overdo it for him first. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he and the rest of the people burst out laughing in unison.

Fang Shuo stared at him and said, "Words like yours that can only be said in secret are not easy to say in the open. The death of Xuanshuang Zhenren is still a secret at present. Except for those who have experienced it firsthand, few will know. How do you know? Who told you that? Or is it that you have your share in besieging and killing Xuanshuang's real people? ”

Hearing Fang Shuo say this, the leading monk's heart was a little uneasy, and he asked in a weak voice, "Who are you?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

Without answering his question, Fang Shuo said unhurriedly: "I'm about to arrive at Cuifeng Mountain, it's a little unreasonable for you to choose to stop me here." Why don't you go to the Haining River to block me? On the Haining River, there are more than 100 monks. I've all come here, or I've lost my stuff and you're left with the soup they left. Either that, I'll serve them all in one pot, and then you dozen people won't be enough to see. Is that right? ”

Hearing Fang Shuo's words, the leading monk became even more flustered.

He pointed at Fang Shuo and asked loudly, "You, who are you?" ”

Fang Shuo said softly: "Didn't I already say it, my name is Fang Shuo, don't ask again." Also, I'm not going to do anything with you for now, because you're just a little minion who blocks the knife for others. As for what you want, it's on me. But if you want to take it or not, you can weigh it yourself. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shuo didn't care about them, and continued to move forward.

"Big brother, he said it all, the thing is on him, let's do it."

"Yes, big brother. In my opinion, he's trying to scare us. I've already done it with so many people, not to mention the injury, it must be a big loss of vitality, let's take the opportunity to start. ”

"Big brother, if we do it together, will we be afraid that he will not succeed?"

"Wealth is in danger, and I have hit this great luck, if I don't catch it, I will be damned."

The leading monk waved his hand and shouted, "All right, you guys don't quarrel. Fang Shuo, Lao Tzu doesn't believe these nonsense words you say. There are so many people who attack you, just rely on you, can you still get out of it? No matter how you got here, in a word, if you don't hand over your things today, you won't be able to leave. Do it. ”

After making trouble for a long time, these people still decided to attack the other party.

There was no way now, Fang Shuo was forced to be helpless, and he could only fight back.

However, before Fang Shuo could make a move, a loud shout suddenly came from the front.

"Who dares to go wild here?"

When Fang Shuo heard the prestige, he saw a young monk wearing a cyan robe, black boots, and a long sword in his hand, riding a huge spirit crane and swooping down, and it was in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

The young monk glared at him and shouted, "Under the Cuifeng Mountain, you must not be presumptuous. ”

The leading monk scolded him, "Where did you come from, a wild boy, who dares to care about you? ”

Hearing this, the young monk was furious, pressed the spirit crane under him hard, flew down in the air, drew his sword out of its sheath, cut through the side of the middle-aged monk who had no obstruction, and killed him with one blow.

The rest of the people rushed over and grabbed his corpse, and immediately exclaimed, "Big brother." ”

One of the monks shouted to the young man, "If you dare to kill my eldest brother, I will use you to pay for his life." ”

So, all of them stood up at once, and all of them shot at the young man.

The young man looked at them twice, and said with a cold face, "Look for death." Then, he swung his sword in front of him and killed more than a dozen of them.

The poor gang didn't even make a sound, and they all died by the young man's sword.

After putting the sword away and returning it to its sheath, the young man looked at Fang Shuo and said, "Okay, I'll solve them all for you, you can leave with confidence." Let's go, it's not been safe lately, you have to be careful. ”

After the young man came like this, Fang Shuo knew his identity.

So, Fang Shuo raised his hand and asked, "May I ask this little brother, but is it a monk from Cuifeng Mountain?" ”

The young man wanted to leave, but when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "So what?" What do you want? ”

Fang Shuo said with a smile: "In the lower Shuo, I have come to return the real things of the Xuanshuang of Cuifeng Mountain." ”

Who knows, it's okay not to say this, Fang Shuo's words had just finished speaking, but the young man actually said to him contemptuously: "Oh, is it? It turns out that you came to return my master's things. So what do you want to pay back? I don't remember my master borrowing anything from someone else. If you just want to go up the mountain to ask for a cup of tea, Cuifeng Mountain will definitely entertain you, but if you come to cheat on any benefits, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Seeing this young man one after the other, as if he had changed his face to himself, Fang Shuo couldn't help but laugh, feelings, he regarded himself as a liar who came to Cuifeng Mountain.

Fang Shuo explained: "Little brother, I think you have misunderstood, you didn't come to Cuifeng Mountain to cheat. Xuanshuang Zhenren unfortunately died, and there are still ......"

Hearing this, the young man shouted in tears: "Shut up for me, don't talk nonsense." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed at Fang Shuo.

Fang Shuo hurriedly dodged and said, "Hey, I said, why are you still doing something with me." ”

The young man said angrily: "Insult my teacher, damn it." ”

As a last resort, Fang Shuo could only hurriedly retreat and distance himself from him first. Then, he immediately took out the Xuanshuang Sword from the Qiankun bag and shouted to him: "Stop, stop, you don't know this sword, right?" In the lower Shuo, it is the deacon of the East China Sea League, and this trip is to return the sword to Cuifeng Mountain. ”

After seeing the Xuanshuang Sword in Fang Shuo's hand, the young man stopped. He looked at the Xuanshuang Sword and said sadly: "This is not true, this is not true, how can my master die." ”

Fang Shuo stepped forward and said softly, "Little brother, the East China Sea Alliance should have informed Cuifeng Mountain of your master's death." But how do you seem to ...... now?"

The young man raised his eyes and interrupted Fang Shuo and said, "My master has been awarded the title of Xuanshuang True Person, he has superb Taoism, how could he be surrounded and killed. Perhaps, it was your East China Sea League who designed a plot. ”

Looking at the young man's bloodshot eyes, Fang Shuo didn't know how to respond to him.

Holding the Xuanshuang Sword, Fang Shuo handed it to the young man and said, "This is the relic of the Xuanshuang real person, and it should belong to Cuifeng Mountain." Now that the thing is returned to its original owner, please accept it, little brother. ”

The young man wiped his eyes and did not take the Xuanshuang Sword. He turned around and walked towards Cuifeng Mountain, and shouted to Fang Shuo, "You come with me." ”

Although Fang Shuo was puzzled for a while, but now, he only had to follow him up to Cuifeng Mountain.

Following the young man, Fang Shuo came all the way to the top of Cuifeng Mountain. In fact, Cuifeng Mountain is not big, and as a place of cultivation, it is far inferior to some famous mountains. There is not a stone workshop on the mountain, there is not a single high-rise building, and there is no immortal realm, and even the disciples have not met the second one.

When the two of them came to a bamboo house, the young man bowed to the bamboo house and said, "Master Qi, Fang Shuo, the deacon of the East China Sea League, is here with Master's sword. ”

After waiting for a while, a hoarse voice came from the bamboo house: "Yaochuan, your master, is he really dead?" ”

"Master, Master, he's really dead." The young man said in a young voice.

Then, another voice came from the bamboo house: "Your name is Fang Shuo?" Is he a deacon of the East China Sea League? ”

Fang Shuo also bowed to the bamboo house and said, "Below Shuo, meet the seniors." ”

"Since he is already dead, what kind of sword will the East China Sea Alliance come to send?"

Fang Shuo said respectfully: "The Xuanshuang real person saber was left in Yangzhou, and I saw it by chance, so I thought about sending the real person relics to Cuifeng Mountain." ”

"Yangzhou? Didn't he die in Qingzhou? ”

Fang Shuo responded: "The sword has been channeled, maybe it wants to come back." ”

After waiting for a while, a trembling voice came from the bamboo house: "After you use the Dao method to refine the sword with fire, take a closer look, is there any word on the sword?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Shuo used the fire character to seal the sword, and after a while, he found that there were words on the sword body.

After reading it, he was stunned for a moment, and then he read: "The flying goose submits the book, and the fish passes the ruler." ”
