Chapter 132: Invasion of the Spirits
Qi Yunteng was surprised and asked, "Qi Qiong, his old man has been missing for five hundred years, and we all think that he has passed away a long time ago. Even if he was alive, why would he teach his unique skills to someone he didn't know? It's hard to understand. Although it would be abrupt to say this, I still hope that the girl can tell the truth. ”
"I don't know why Master took me as an apprentice, but maybe he just didn't want to wander around the world anymore. He is an old man with great powers, and he may have calculated that I will definitely come to Shangwutang in the future, so he is willing to give it to him. ”
Li Mengluan's two sentences are actually not explanations, they are just her own guesses.
Ye Yichen answered at this time: "In any case, she has seen it with my own eyes, and it is true, not to deceive the master." ”
Seeing that Ye Yichen said it truthfully, Qi Yunteng stood up and bowed to Li Mengluan, and said in a pleading tone: "I hope that the girl can leave the cultivation method of the secret flow of the unphased interpretation, so that the disciples of the Shangwutang in the future generations will have the opportunity to carry forward the swordsmanship of the ancestors, and the great kindness will be rewarded in the future." ”
Li Mengluan hurriedly replied: "Since the master passed on the swordsmanship to me, he hopes that I can pass it on, this is my duty, and I cannot refuse." ”
Ye Yichen suddenly interjected at this moment and asked, "Master, I heard from the guards on the coast that after the invasion of the Chongling Sect, our sect has fought with them once, but the result was a fiasco, is this true?"
Qi Yunteng nodded helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, in that fight, we were indeed completely defeated, I sent a disciple to be good at swordsmanship, but the other party is proficient in all kinds of spells, and its range and power are above the bow and arrow, so we have no way to fight in close quarters at all, and finally have to retreat." ”
A hint of understatement appeared at the corner of Ye Yichen's mouth, and he said: "Swordsmanship can actually deal with distant enemies, and the ancestor's stunt 'Phaseless Interpretation of the Secret Stream' focuses on meeting the enemy with sword qi in the air. Even if the other person is good at spells, there is no need to be afraid. This Li Mengluan girl's cultivation has reached the realm of perfection, and according to my estimate, she should still be above the master. If she comes forward to face the enemy, she will surely give us a great victory. ”
"Boss, please rest assured, Mengluan will definitely defeat the enemy army and return Penglai Island to peace and tranquility. Li Mengluan was confident.
Qi Yunteng laughed and said, "Okay! This time, I want to take a good look at the majesty of the stunt created by my ancestors. However, the group of thieves of the Chongling Sect have not moved for nearly a year, and they seem to be content to occupy the southern peninsula, and if they do not come out to provoke, I am afraid that we will find a chance to do so. ”
As soon as the words fell, the disciple who received the summons from the carrier pigeon hurriedly ran in from outside the door and reported to Qi Yunteng: "Tell the master, the people of the Chongling Sect have begun to march in the direction of the dividing line between the north and the south, do we need to send someone to meet the enemy?"
Qi Yunteng smiled at this time and said, "It seems that God hopes that I can see the mastery of my ancestors as soon as possible, this time I not only have to send disciples to support, but also my own old bones should also be active." ”
Ye Yichen did not immediately respond to Qi Yunteng's intentions, but asked the disciple who came to report the news, "How many people are there who are going to attack that village?"
The disciple replied, "According to the information of the front-line disciples, there are only ten people. ”
Ye Yichen frowned, thought for a moment and then suggested to Qi Yunteng: "The enemy army suddenly invaded, but only came out
Ten people were moved, obviously trying to attract our attention, which was quite suspicious of turning the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, we must not rush forward, and static braking is the best policy. We can send one or two people who have cultivated to the depths of Zhan to come to the rescue, while the rest of the people should stand by and watch the situation and wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Qi Yunteng nodded heavily after hearing this, and said, "It makes sense, since that's the case, how about Mengluan girl and the old man go to support together?"
Ye Yichen smiled: "It seems that the head of the family can't wait for a moment." That's fine, the head and Mengluan's skills are extremely profound, and it is naturally foolproof for you to support them. ”
"Without further ado, Miss Mengluan, let's go now. With that, he got up and walked out of the chamber.
Xuantian saw Qi Yunteng's actions, and couldn't help but whisper to Ye Yichen: "Master Qi is really resolute, and he doesn't drag his feet in the slightest, so I admire him." ”
Ye Yichen smiled bitterly: "His personality has always been like this, not to mention that the martial arts of the ancestor is his life's pursuit." Then he said to Li Mengluan: "The head of the family will ask you, he is already old after all, please take care of one or two more." ”
"Brother Ye, don't worry, I will definitely not let the head of Qi make a mistake. ”
Xuantian and Ye Yichen followed Li Mengluan and Qi Yunteng to the outside of Shangwu Hall, and after saying goodbye to each other, they watched them ride fast horses and go straight to the south.
Xuantian watched the backs of the two gradually fade away, but his eyes showed a trace of doubt, and he couldn't help but ask Ye Yichen: "Brother Night, please forgive the little brother for being rude." I wonder if Master Qi hasn't practiced the art of controlling the sky like me?"
Ye Yichen sighed lightly and said, "That's true." Since the unique skills of the founding patriarch were all lost, Shangwutang began to go downhill and declined. Nowadays, the disciples of Shangwutang are all shallow, and they are not the same as the disciples of several other sects, and the glory of the former 'one of the six major sects in the world' has long existed in name only. In fact, the requirements for cultivation are very high, and the head of the sect has not met the conditions for cultivation so far. If it weren't for the fact that I was lucky enough to experience many adventures when I left the division and went on my own, I wouldn't have the strength I have today. ”
Xuantian showed a look of regret on his face, and said: "I didn't expect that the once famous Shangwutang was destroyed by a war to this appearance, the demon domain evil is really an unforgivable crime. ”
Speaking of this, a question that had not been spoken suddenly flashed in Xuantian's mind.
"By the way, Brother Night, I remember that before you met Mengluan, I first performed a Phaseless Interpretation Secret Flow in front of you. But why are you sure that it is Mengluan who is truly proficient in this mastery? This has always puzzled me. ”
Ye Yichen smiled slightly when he heard this, and explained: "At the time of the battle with the Purgatory Blood Lion, I did see you perform that 'Instant Beauty', and I did feel confused at that time, and I wanted to find a time to ask you clearly. However, after seeing Mengluan's sword skills, I understood that this move of yours must have been taught to you by her, because you are weaker than her in terms of power and understanding of moves. ”
Xuantian laughed and said, "That's right, my trick was stolen at first glance, and it didn't show the power of this world-shattering mastery at all." ”
"If there are no other problems, Brother Xuan will go back to rest, I still have to visit Master, after all, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know
He's in good health. ”
"I wonder who Brother Night's mentor is?"
"It's the brother of the previous head and the current head. Actually, I heard by chance two years ago that Master had resigned as head of the family, and I still don't know why. Ye Yichen replied.
"I see, then I won't bother Brother Night. ”
The two said goodbye for the time being, Xuantian returned to the room arranged for him by the master, and Ye Yichen went to see his master.
In the waterfront city, the training ground.
Qing Ling showed the talisman to the general of the garrison in the city, and conveyed the king's order to him. The general didn't dare to slack off when he saw the soldiers, so he immediately transferred out a thousand cavalry and handed them over to Qingling for dispatch.
Qing Ling's face did not change in front of the thousands of soldiers, calmly introduced himself to them, and clearly explained the purpose of this dispatch.
If it were normal, if these soldiers who had served for Penglai for many years were asked to obey the orders of strangers, it would be absolutely impossible, and it might cause riots at this time. However, Qing Ling's beauty over that of the heavenly immortals made all the soldiers swoon, and now they can't say a word, how can they resist? With their current state, let alone obeying orders, even if Qing Ling wants them to die, I am afraid that some people will obediently do so.
Seeing that no one expressed dissatisfaction, Qing Ling immediately ordered to march and march towards the demarcation line with a thousand cavalry. Although she can't ride a horse and loses her demeanor as a general, she is like a goddess descending from heaven in the sky, with an indomitable and powerful momentum, which makes the soldiers behind her invisibly more confident!
The so-called north-south dividing line is actually a long river that divides the entire Penglai Island into two. Now that the south of the Yangtze River has been occupied by the Chongling Sect, the Penglai army and civilians can only stick to the north.
In a small village on the north side of the Yangtze River, there was chaos at this time.
Moments earlier, a villager who had gone fishing by the river had seen several men dressed in black floating in mid-air, approaching in their direction.
From the king's proclamation and the mouths of the survivors who were rescued from the south, they had heard that the people of the Chongling Sect were like to wear black, were ruthless, and regarded human life as if they were a mustard.
Seeing this scene, the fishing villager immediately guessed that it was the Chongling Sect members who had started to invade again after nearly a year. So he hurried back to the village to deliver the message to everyone, and when the news spread, it immediately caused a great disturbance, and the sound of men's scolding and the cries of women and children spread throughout the village for a time.
Although they were reluctant, most of the villagers, who were well aware of the brutality of the Cultists, packed up their important belongings and prepared to flee. There are only some elderly people who can't run anymore, and they don't want to be a burden to others, so they decide to stay where they are and wait for fate.
Just before the villagers made up their minds to escape from the village and find another place to live, they suddenly heard the heavy sound of horses' hooves from the north.
The villagers looked around and saw a white figure floating in the air like a member of the Chongling Sect, with many brave cavalry coming quickly from the north, non-stop.
Seeing the style of military uniforms worn by those cavalrymen, most of the villagers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said happily: "It seems that the defenders of Linshui City came to the rescue, and we don't have to flee this time." ”
