Chapter 18: Before the Decisive Battle
As soon as Qin Hongyun arrived at the foot of the mountain, he felt a smell of scorched earth penetrate his nostrils, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and a sense of uneasiness rose, this feeling made him unconsciously afraid, even if he was in the Ruthless Mountain Villa that day, he had never felt this way.
He is like a prodigal son who has not been in his hometown for a long time, and when he returns home again, he walks step by step to the softest place in his heart with a strong sense of timidity.
As soon as Qin Hongyun walked halfway up the mountain, he saw that the original magnificent mountain villa had become a ruin at this time, still smoking green, and there were two groups of people standing in front of the village, one of which was dressed in white, and the person at the head was especially heroic, it was the owner Qin Mutian and his disciples. On the other hand, they were dressed in all sorts of clothes, and they held the hilt of their swords and pointed and pointed.
Qin Hongyun saw that someone had really come to make trouble, so he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately used light skills to sweep towards the two groups of people. About a quarter of an hour later, he had already swept to the mountain gate, but he didn't even look at those heroes in the rivers and lakes, so he walked straight to Qin Mutian's side, and said with a sigh of relief: "Dad, I'm here!"
Qin Mutian frowned and scolded, "What are you doing here?"
"You have raised me for more than 20 years, and now you are in danger, if I don't come, wouldn't I be as good as a beast?" Qin Hongyun smiled at him, "I know what you are worried about, but if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then what kind of manly husband is it, it is better to go to the palace to be a eunuch." Although this sentence is extreme, it also makes some sense, and many of the heroes present blushed, they knew very well that if it weren't for the great change in the Imperial Sword Villa, they might not dare to shout after a lifetime of hard work.
In normal times, Qin Mutian must have felt that this was inappropriate, but at this time, he was very moved, nodded and said: "Okay, good! In today's battle, if you can win, you will win, if you can't win, our father and son will die in one place, but it is not a good story!"
Qin Hongyun nodded solemnly, then glanced at Qunhao coldly, suddenly, he fixed his gaze, and his pupils also contracted, but then he returned to normal, arched his hand at the man, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect even you to come!"
The man was about forty or fifty years old, with a long beard under his chin, a cyan robe, dressed as a Taoist priest, and said: "I, Wudang, have always paid attention to fairness, and I have also tried my best to unite the righteous people in the rivers and lakes. He pondered and continued: "This matter is your private matter, and there is no absolute right or wrong, so it is inconvenient for us in Wudang to participate, so we can only remain neutral." ”
As he spoke, the man retreated to the side with a group of disciples. The group of heroes all booed, and some said: "Lingming Dao Chang is really more and more courageous, back then, he was alone, dared to break into the camp of thieves and kill traitors, but now it's good, before he can do anything, he escaped with his tail between his legs!" ”
The ordinary disciples didn't know what the Lingming Daoist wanted, and they were all angry, so no one refuted it out loud, but his own disciples all had angry faces. The young man in the pale cyan Taoist robe behind the Lingming Daoist had the most upright personality, and he was about to stand up and speak for the master, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Yunqing, the pure one is self-purifying!"
The young man was still indignant when he heard this, and snorted: "Master, in my opinion, these people may not have a grudge against the Imperial Sword Villa, but nine times out of ten, they are going to take advantage of the fire to rob them!"
Lingming Dao is one of the three heroes of Wudang, although he is the youngest, but his talent is the highest, not only the swordsmanship is outstanding, but the wisdom is also outstanding, naturally he has already thought of this truth, but he also does not want to make enemies for Wudang, so he just does not know, indifferently sit and watch the two tigers fight.
Qin Hongyun seemed to have seen his thoughts, and said in his heart: My Imperial Sword Villa is becoming stronger and stronger, and it has gradually overshadowed the reputation of Wudang, and the three heroes of Wudang are naturally displeased, so the appearance of Lingming Dao people at this time may not be kind, but I am afraid that they want to take advantage of the fisherman. Thinking of this, he not only frowned, but suddenly, he thought of the discussion of the heroes just now, and suddenly a plan was born in his heart, and when he straightened his face, he said: "What kind of person is Lingming Daoist, how can he take a fancy to my Qin family's etiquette?"
Qunhao was really fooled, and shouted loudly: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here! If you didn't buy him, why should you be in such a hurry to clarify?"
Qin Mutian said in his heart: How arrogant is Yun'er, let him praise his opponent, it should really be difficult for him. He immediately stepped forward and cooperated: "Whether it is bought or not, it is a matter between my Imperial Sword Villa and Wudang, and everyone is in charge of it, right?"
When Qunhao heard this, he immediately became agitated, and they all looked at Lingming Daoist with disdain, Lingming Daoist looked confused, he really didn't expect that the owner of Qin Zhuang, who has always been benevolent and upright, would also use this kind of trick to move Jiangdong, and he frowned and thought about it at the moment, at this time, Nayun Qing said: "Master, since the owner of Qin Zhuang said so, let's simply stand on the side of Qunhao, which can not only prove innocence, but also defeat the Imperial Sword Villa!"
He was bent on thinking about Wudang's fame, but he didn't know that this method was no longer decent, Lingming Daoist frowned even more tightly when he heard this, and turned around and reprimanded: "What do you know?" Then he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Since Qunhao is suspicious, Poor Dao has no choice but to take a group of disciples down the mountain in order to prove his innocence, and he will never ask about this matter again!"
Yun Qing was not convinced, he was reprimanded by the master, he was already full of anger, and then he saw Qin Hongyun looking at him with a smile on his face, and he was even more angry, suddenly, he jumped towards Qin Hongyun, glared at him and said, "The surname Qin, do you dare to draw a line and compete with me?"
Lingming Daoist was about to drink him back, and suddenly thought that if he called out the battle like this, he could also clear the relationship between Wudang and Yujian Villa, even if he lost, his reputation would not be damaged by Wudang.
The smile on Qin Hongyun's face gradually disappeared, but he didn't answer, Yun Qing saw it, only said that he was afraid, and immediately snorted coldly, stared at his eyes and said, "Young Master of Imperial Sword Villa, no... Pass... As... This!"
Qin Hongyun's eyes showed a different kind of light, like a beating flame, his left hand held the scabbard tightly, and after a while, he suddenly exhaled and said, "Why do you want to compete with me, is it because of revenge, or is it because of fame and fortune?" Qin Bo and Qin Mutian glanced at each other, and they both thought: Originally, I was worried that he was not deeply involved in the world and would have to suffer, but I didn't expect that he had also grown a lot, and this sentence pushed Liang Zi to Wudang.
Yun Qing saw that he was sincere, and couldn't help but say a sentence silently, thinking: He has no enmity with me, is it for fame and fortune? He didn't want to believe it, so he raised his head and replied: "I'm not for revenge, nor for fame and fortune, but I don't accept it!"
"Okay, I'll compete with you!" Qin Hongyun said lightly, "I can't beat you in one move, even if I lose!"
