Meng Xiuyuan said goodbye to Shopkeeper Dong and others in Rongcheng, and left the merchant team to walk alone.

Since then, he has only more than 200 miles left from Mount Emei.

When parting, Meng Xiuyuan asked the shopkeeper Dong for the way, and then marched southwest along the official road.

After so many days of slow and leisurely travel, Meng Xiuyuan was also suffocated, and now he was relaxed and unburdened, so he simply began to run wildly, running the Wudang Tiyun Vertical with the ultimate internal force.

I saw that his posture was relaxed, and with each step, he flew forward for a distance of about two feet, and no matter whether it was a rugged mountain road or a soft mud road, it could not delay his pace.

In this way, he set off after breakfast in the morning, and before noon, he had already arrived at the foot of Mount Emei.

And very fortunately, just when he was about to find someone nearby to inquire about the location of the Emei faction, he happened to meet an acquaintance.

"Meng Shaoxia, you ...... Why did you come to my Emei? ”

Pei Jinyi faced Meng Xiuyuan, who was a few years younger than her, but she looked a little nervous, almost at a loss.

Meng Xiuyuan recognized this handsome girl, and she had been following Ji Xiaofu at the 100th birthday banquet that day, which made Meng Xiuyuan have some impression of her.

"Miss Pei, why are you so afraid of me? Do you remember that it was your Senior Sister Jingxuan who invited me to come to Emei to meet your master that day. ”

Hearing Meng Xiuyuan say this, Pei Jinyi remembered that there was indeed such a time, so he hurriedly apologized to Meng Xiuyuan, and then took the initiative to lead the way up the mountain.

The two walked and chatted on the mountain road, and talked a lot in the middle, and Meng Xiuyuan understood why the other party had such a big reaction when he saw him.

It turned out that the Emei faction was unwilling to conflict with Wudang that day and left Zhang Sanfeng's birthday banquet in advance, although they couldn't see Meng Xiuyuan make a move, but on the way back, they had been hearing news and legends related to Meng Xiuyuan.

In a short period of time, Meng Xiuyuan can be said to be famous, but most of the people in the martial arts who have some social relations and are not practicing behind closed doors have heard of the grand scene of Meng Xiuyuan's "one sword suppressing the heroes" that day.

In the middle of this reputation, it can be described as a mixed reputation. Some people say that Meng Xiuyuan is young and vigorous, and his personality is too arrogant, and he doesn't take his martial arts predecessors seriously at all. Some people also said that Meng Xiuyuan was young and old, generous and decent, and in the end he gave various sects and factions steps, and did not force people to death.

There is only one consensus, that is, although Meng Xiuyuan is young, his martial arts are already superb. In today's martial arts, no matter how old or young, few people can compare with it.

Even many people say that Wudang is another top master, who can follow Zhang Sanfeng and then dominate the rivers and lakes for another hundred and eighty years.

For a time, the Wudang faction was in the limelight in the rivers and lakes, and fiercely suppressed the Shaolin Temple, which was obviously one notch higher.

And Meng Xiuyuan himself also won the title of "Zixiao Divine Sword" because of this.

After hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing, because reputation has always caused trouble.

It's just that in front of Pei Jinyi, he couldn't say so much Versailles, so he had to jokingly say:

"I also want to thank Miss Bei for telling me this, I have not seen any fellow Jianghu along the way with the merchant gang, so naturally I have never heard these news.

I think I have been apprenticed to the mountain for ten years, and I have been practicing penance behind closed doors, and on that day at my master's 100th birthday banquet, most of the guests who came couldn't even pronounce my name at first, but they knew that I was the eighth disciple of the Wudang Sect.

But I didn't expect that in just a few days, I would become a celebrity in the rivers and lakes.

The title of 'Zixiao Divine Sword' is really good, and my senior brother and they will definitely envy it when they hear it." ”

Pei Jinyi has been familiar with Meng Xiuyuan for half a day, seeing that although Meng Xiuyuan has a great reputation, she is easy-going and talkative, she is not as restrained as before, but has returned to her usual lively and playful appearance.

Covering her mouth and smiling, Pei Jinyi said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Shaoxia doesn't know, you scared me to death these days.

Since I knew that you were young and your martial arts were so powerful, I began to think back to whether I was rude to you on Wudang Mountain that day, for fear that you would hold a grudge and retaliate against me.

Later, I remembered that I didn't know how powerful you were that day, and when I saw that you were so young and actually came out to represent the Wudang faction, I only felt that you were too favored and had a bad brain on weekdays, as if you really secretly rolled your eyes twice, and I don't know if you saw it.

I often have nightmares these days in which you come to me with a sword and ask me how a little weak woman dares to be so rude and openly contemptuous of you. I don't think I can answer, you have no patience, so you waved your hand and brought me a 'Zixiao Divine Sword'.

So when I saw you just now, I subconsciously felt that you really came to trouble me......"

Meng Xiuyuan listened to what Pei Jinyi said eloquently, and secretly sighed that it was indeed strange that the Emei Sect could teach such a lively and lovely disciple in such a harsh environment.

He smiled helplessly, and opened his mouth to comfort the other party:

"Don't worry, Miss Pei. I'm not going to draw my sword and cut you just because you rolled your eyes at me twice.

And my swordsmanship is called "Zixiao Sword Qi", not the "Zixiao Divine Sword" you said.

When my master created this kung fu, he was most proud of such a nice name, and I didn't let him change it, so don't make a mistake. ”

Pei Jinyi narrowed her eyes with a smile and said crisply:

"That's bad, I've not only offended the young supreme master of the Wudang Sect, but even the old one.

How can I survive on the rivers and lakes in the future......"

"Hahahaha" Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh when he was amused.

……

The two talked and laughed like this, and unconsciously walked halfway up the mountain, and the grand scenery of Mount Emei really began to show.

With Pei Jinyi on the side, Meng Xiuyuan took a good look at the scenery of Mount Emei.

Speaking from his heart, although Meng Xiuyuan has lived on Wudang Mountain for ten years, he still feels bright when he looks at the scenery on Mount Emei today.

In comparison, Mount Emei is more majestic, majestic and beautiful, giving people a sense of shock from nature. Like a dust fairy, delicate and refined.

In particular, Mount Emei is nearly twice as high as Mount Wudang, and when it is close to the peak, the ethereal clouds seem to be under your feet.

When the mountain wind blows, the sea of clouds surges, it is really like arriving in the fairyland of the heavenly palace, far away from the world.

Just looking at the scenery all the way up the mountain, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he had not run in vain this trip, and he was in a very pleasant mood.

Whenever they encounter a place with unique scenery, the two will stop and watch for a while to quietly appreciate the charm.

Even in the end, Pei Jinyi would occasionally take Meng Xiuyuan off the main road of the mountain road and into the mountain path to see some hidden and magnificent scenes that only people like her, who have lived on Mount Emei for a long time, know.

It's a pity that such a good atmosphere didn't last long, as the mountain road approached and the buildings of the Emei faction had loomed above, Pei Jinyi suddenly had something on her mind for some reason, and she was no longer as lively and happy as she was just now.

She hesitated for a while, until at last she spoke:

"Meng Shaoxia, there is something I shouldn't have said, but I still think in my heart that you should know.

In recent days, Master has always asked us to practice a set of sword formations together to hone our tacit understanding of cooperating with the enemy.

When we practiced that formation at that time, we could clearly feel that although this sword formation was varied, it was obvious that all the arrangements were for one person. Moreover, Master has repeatedly emphasized that we must go all out to cast this sword formation, and we must never leave our hands behind in either practice or actual combat.

So at that time, we were still discussing which Fang Divine Master was going to deal with, and we needed to send so many people from Emei to join forces and form a sword formation to deal with one person.

Seeing you go up the mountain today, I suddenly thought about it now, maybe this sword array is what Master has prepared for you......"

Pei Jinyi's words have actually been held in her heart for a while, but when she saw that this Emei faction was about to arrive, she no longer hesitated to say it, but she was obviously flustered when she spoke, and her words lost the lively and clever look just now.

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly silent when he heard this, and then sincerely thanked:

"Miss Pei, thank you for being able to tell me honestly about this."

Pei Jinyi didn't dare to look up at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes, lowered her head and clenched the long sword in her hand:

"Meng Shaoxia, although I hit you off at first sight and think that you are a good person, I will definitely not do anything to endanger my Emei faction.

But after all, I am also a disciple of the Emei faction, and the master has the grace of nurturing me, and I can't betray the master.

So although I know the trick of this sword array, I can't take the initiative to tell you......"

Pei Jinyi was in a dilemma at this time, although it was just a short conversation and contact all the way up the mountain, when she looked at the handsome young man in front of her, she already had a faint feeling different from when she was down the mountain.

At this time, she was very worried in her heart, when her master saw this Meng Xiuyuan, would she really order them to form a sword formation and come forward to fight.

If Meng Xiuyuan was a bad-hearted thief, she would definitely fight to the death against Meng Xiuyuan for the Emei faction and for the master.

But along the way, she can clearly perceive from her words and deeds that the young man in front of her has no bad intentions, and it is impossible for her to have any ill intentions towards Emei.

So at this moment, she only hoped that Meng Xiuyuan could immediately put the sword on her neck and force her to reveal the weakness in the sword array. Then she didn't need to worry about Meng Xiuyuan's next safety in her heart, and she wouldn't have such a big sense of guilt for betraying the sect's secrets.

The reason why she deliberately said in her last sentence that she knew the secret of this sword formation was to hint at Meng Xiuyuan clearly.

But what she didn't expect was that all she was waiting for was Meng Xiuyuan's bright smile

"Haha, Miss Pei doesn't need to worry, I finally came to this Mount Emei today, since I have been fortunate enough to see the superb scenery on Mount Emei, how can I not lead the women of the Emei faction to teach the tricks of the heroines?

Miss Pei, you only need to use your sword with your heart and attack me with all your might.

Otherwise, without your help, your master wouldn't be able to take my two moves.

The exterminator wants to test me too much, and I want to test her skills. ”

Pei Jinyi was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly raised her head, but saw that there was no trace of Meng Xiuyuan in front of her.

It wasn't until she rushed back to the sect that she heard from the junior sisters that Meng Xiuyuan had already arrived in the Emei sect one step ahead of her, and was being personally received by the extermination master.

……

Meng Xiuyuan was in the main hall of the Emei faction, and for the first time he saw the extermination master who was shouted and beaten by everyone in his previous life.

It was a nun in her early forties, and she had a good look, and she could tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Only the expression between the eyebrows and eyes was too harsh, which ruined the atmosphere of the whole face.

And when they first met, it was a little different from what Pei Jinyi said, and the exterminator was not so tense as soon as he came up.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the exterminator seemed quite polite.

It wasn't until later that the two sides gradually began to talk about the relationship between the Wudang and Emei factions, and the friendship between Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang Nuxia back then, that the exterminator took this opportunity and began to gradually reveal his true thoughts:

"That day, Jingxuan and Xiaofu came back from Wudang, and when they talked about Meng Shaoxia and you, I still didn't believe it, I just felt that they were exaggerating, and they reprimanded them.

I didn't expect to see Meng Shaoxia today, and the poor nuns realized that they were wrong.

In this world, there are really people who look so similar to Patriarch Guo. ”

When the exterminator said this, he stared directly at Meng Xiuyuan's face, without any taboos.

"Oh, so to speak, Mrs. Shi, have you seen Guo Xiang Woman herself?" Meng Xiuyuan didn't care either, and asked along with her words.

"No, it's a pity that when I started, the ancestor had already passed away, and I couldn't see her old man's true face.

However, in my Emei apse, there has always been a portrait of the patriarch, painted by the Danqing Holy Hand in a realistic style, according to my master Fengling Shitai, and the real appearance of the ancestor is more than ninety percent similar.

And Meng Shaoxia, you, are almost exactly the same as the ancestor on the portrait. Exterminator explained.

"I see, can Mrs. Shi take me to see it? I'm curious that all of you say that. Meng Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Naturally, it should be like this, wait a while, I will definitely take Meng Shaoxia you to have a look. It's just that there is one more thing before that, I hope Meng Shaoxia will help me confirm it. The exterminator said solemnly.

"Mrs. Shi, please speak." Meng Xiuyuan nodded.

"I heard that the rivers and lakes have been rumored recently, saying that it is Meng Shaoxia, your miraculous skills, and you easily defeated the five elders of Kongtong, He Taichong, the head of Kunlun, and the three monks of Shaolin Temple at the birthday banquet that day.

Then, as soon as the divine sword came out, it was suppressed on the spot, making the heroes bow their heads and admit defeat.

I don't know if it's true or not? ”

After the extermination master finished speaking, he didn't wait for Meng Xiuyuan to answer, turned around and opened a cloth bag from the hands of the disciples on the side, and took out an ancient sword that was more than four feet long.

But seeing that the scabbard faintly emitted a layer of green gas, the sword was not out of the sheath, it can be imagined that it is extraordinary, and the scabbard is also inlaid with two words with gold wire: "Yitian".

Immediately, the sword blade of extinction was decisively out of the body, and it pointed at Meng Xiuyuan clearly.

"What is Mrs. Shi doing, didn't we just have a good conversation, why did you take out the Yitian Sword.

What do you mean, do you want to do it with me? ”

Meng Xiuyuan only felt that this old nun did have some mental problems, and she was inexplicable.

"I hope Meng Shaoxia will forgive me, this matter is really important to my Emei faction, and the poor nun has to make this decision.

After all, people's words cannot be trusted, and only those who see it with their own eyes will not deceive people.

I also hope that Meng Shaoxia can make a move, so that I have the honor to have a glimpse of the stunt to confirm my thoughts.

And if those rumors are true, then Meng Shaoxia's martial arts must be far higher than mine.

If you don't hold this Heavenly Sword, I'm afraid that Poor Ni is not qualified to live with Meng Shaoxia for two or three moves. ”

Extinction looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a sword, and his words were firm and could not be shirked.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan shook his head with a helpless smile, and said:

"Well, since Mrs. Shi has said so, I won't shirk it.

It just so happens that I'm quite curious about this Heavenly Sword.

Master, be careful, I'm going to make a move. ”

Extinction nodded when he heard this, and just raised his hand to put out the sword posture, but suddenly he felt a pain in his hand, and before he could react, the Heavenly Sword came out of his hand.

The next moment, Meng Xiuyuan was still standing opposite her with the Heavenly Sword in his hand, smiling and silent.
