Chapter 2 (2) Snowfall in the middle of summer in Lingfeng City
Lin Yifan felt like he was in a dream, one second he was still in the slightly dilapidated courtyard of the old storyteller, and the next second he was on a small island, the sea around the island was turbulent, but the island was clear and slightly quiet, and there was almost no wind. The first thing that catches your eye from the beach to the island is a dense forest, and the trees in it seem to have grown for many years, most of which have reached the size of two people hugging each other. In the distance is a steep mountain that rises so high that you can see the island in its entirety if you climb it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yifan resolutely ran towards the mountain, no matter how he came to this island, the only way to do this is to find out the situation here first and find a way to leave.
After walking for about half an hour, there seemed to be some shouts in front, Lin Yifan jumped onto a tree beside him, and looked forward, there were three people standing in the open space not far away, two of them were in wide robes and big sleeves, obviously two monks, and the other was dressed in black. At this time, the man in black and one of the monks were fighting fiercely, the man in black was aggressive, and his moves were pointed at the monk's vital point, while the monk seemed very calm, defending the middle and leading the attack. After dozens of moves, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two was reversed, the monk's palm became more and more fierce, and the man in black was left and right, obviously having fallen into the disadvantage, suddenly, only to hear a long roar from the monk, a palm hit the man in black on the chest, the man in black suddenly spit blood and flew out. The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, donor, offended." ”
After the man in black landed, he rolled backwards, distanced himself from the monk, and said: "Shenyin Temple Shihong, the name is well deserved, and it is not unjust to die in your hands today." ”
Shi Hong sighed: "The monks are merciful, donor, you go." ”
The man in black didn't answer, turned around and ran behind him, and after a distance, the man in black said loudly: "One palm of revenge, he will repay it twice as much." Before the words fell, I saw a figure suddenly jump down from the tree above his head, knock his feet, hit the man in black in the chest, and kicked him upside down and flew out, this person was Lin Yifan who was hiding in the tree before.
Lin Yifan didn't look at the situation of the man in black, and turned around and handed over: "Senior Brother Shi Hong, look up for a long time."
Shi Hong clasped his hands together and saluted back: "Thank you, donor, this trick is really beautiful, and the little monk admires it." I don't know which senior brother of Phoenix Mountain the donor is. ”
Phoenix Mountain and Shenyin Temple are the two most prestigious sects on the rivers and lakes today, the reputation of Shi Hong, the strongest contemporary successor of Shenyin Temple, has already resounded throughout the rivers and lakes, Lin Yifan saw that he only used the most common trick on the rivers and lakes today, Shi Hong recognized his own sect through his body, and there was a little admiration in his heart. He replied: "In the lower Phoenix Mountain and forest." ”
Shi Hong smiled: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Qingyi Jianlin, and I am fortunate to have it." ”
Lin Yifan, who fell to the black-clothed young man with his fingers on the ground, asked, "Senior Brother Shi Hong, how to deal with this person." ”
Shi Hong didn't answer yet, but he heard the black-clothed young man lying on the ground struggling and saying, "Hmph, how to deal with it, my horse is not as good as others, but I beg to die." Hmph, with my skills, I won't survive here for a few days. ”
Lin Yifan and the others were puzzled in their hearts, and they were about to ask each other, when the man in black suddenly rushed towards Yifan like crazy, this pounce seemed to make him use all the strength of his life, and the speed was so fast that he hugged Lin Yifan's legs all of a sudden. Lin Yifan struggled, but he didn't break free, and could only stab down with his sword at the moment, nailing the man in black to the ground at once. The man in black roared in a low voice, and laughed with a hideous face: "Hahaha, Lao Tzu is waiting for you below, on this island, you will not live for a few days." ”
The man in black died, but Lin Yifan felt a warm feeling on his body, and the injuries he had suffered before felt like he had healed all of a sudden, not only that, but the true qi in his body actually felt a little more abundant. He was very puzzled in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he turned to Shi Hong and said, "Senior Brother Shi Hong, I don't know if you know why this person's words are. ”
Shi Hong replied: "The poor monk is also very puzzled, today I and my brother Shi Bei were teleported to this forest for some reason, and soon after they were attacked by this man in black, this kind of strange encounter is really the only time I have seen in the life of a poor monk." ”
"What? You were also suddenly teleported to this island?" Lin Yifan asked.
"Yes, my junior brother and I were shopping for some things in Hanoi City on the orders of our master, but I didn't expect a goose-feather snow to suddenly fall in the city, and the next second, the two of us were here. Senior Brother Lin, are you similar?" Shi Hong asked.
"Yes, I was also brought to this island, so it seems that I had to go to the mountain first. Now that you know the whole picture of the island, you're trying to solve the mysteries. Lin Yifan sighed.
The three of them walked together, approaching the high mountains of the island, while talking about the various abnormalities they had experienced today, and the three of them were all outstanding figures in kung fu among the younger generation, and they were all clueless in the face of such unheard of strange things. After walking for about half an hour, Shi Hong suddenly waved his hand and made a careful gesture to the other two, Lin Yifan also smelled the faint smell of blood in the air at this time, jumped to a nearby tree, and forced forward, Shi Hong and the two of them ran to the place where the smell of blood came from at the same time.
After walking for about a hundred meters, Lin Yifan suddenly found a man lying under a tree not far away, he gestured with Shi Hong and the others, and quickly approached after confirming that there was no one around, and walked to the man. I saw that the man was dressed in brown and had an ordinary appearance, but he was stabbed by a long sword with a big hole in his body, and the blood was still flowing non-stop, obviously just dead. Lin Yifan saw that this person's face suddenly changed, and Shi Hong and the two were about to ask each other, but they saw Lin Yifan suddenly raise his sword and rush forward, and hurriedly followed closely with light luck.
Seeing that there were still a lot of footprints and a little bloodstains scattered along the way, accompanied by a lot of traces of fighting, Shi Hong and the two repeatedly wanted to ask Lin Yifan questions, but he was extremely fast, and the two of them raised a breath of true qi to chase each other with all their might, but they were getting farther and farther away, and they couldn't even do it when they were rushing and shouting, and they couldn't help but secretly admire the light body kung fu of the Phoenix faction.
It didn't take long for Shi Hong and the two to hear a sword roar, but they saw Lin Yifan's long sword out of the sheath and stabbed down from the tree, this stab was more than twice as fast as just now, and it seemed that it had become a cyan shadow in the back, Shi Hong and the two were both leaders of the younger generation, and their eyesight was excellent, but they couldn't see Lin Yifan's thorn clearly, and they couldn't help but be shocked. In the blink of an eye, I saw that Lin Yi's mortal figure had arrived in the middle of the large clearing in front of the tree, and the long sword in his hand passed through the back of a man in black.
I heard a sudden exclamation from the opposite side of the man in black, and a woman shouted: "Senior brother" There was great joy and hope in her voice.
Lin Yifan slowly turned his head sideways and said with a smile: "Little goose." It turned out that the man in black who had just confronted was the southern flying goose of Phoenix Mountain.
Lin Yifan knew that the situation was grim at this time, so he didn't say much. With his sword in his hand, he turned around and stood in front of Nan Feiyan. Lin Yifan's sudden addition made the two sides who were originally fiercely fighting couldn't help but stagnate, and both sides couldn't help but gather towards their own people, one of them had a total of eight people, mostly dressed in black, and the first one was about forty-five years old, it was the three elders of the Demon Sect who attacked Yifan and others in the Forgotten Worry Building a few days ago. The other wave is five people, in addition to Lin Yifan and Nan Feiyan, there are also their fellow brother Liu Qianyuan and a man and a woman in white clothes, all of these five people have blood on their bodies, and they are obviously more or less injured in the previous fight.
Li Xingyun looked at Yifan with a gloomy face, and said: "Who should I be, it turned out to be you, and you came to harm my teaching, and it just so happened that the revenge of the sword the day before yesterday was also avenged." As soon as the voice fell, Li Xingyun had already stepped forward and handed out a sword. Yifan had already prepared, and the sword was raised upwards to block this blow, but although this move was blocked, Lin Yifan's heart suddenly froze, the strength implied in the sword of the three elders was even better than that of the day when he forgot his worries, you must know that he had just received his own palm of Weixue Qianxia the day before yesterday, and it was impossible for him to heal in a few days, but now he is more sophisticated, and he can't help but be puzzled. Although he was puzzled, Lin Yifan still didn't dare to be distracted, and he condensed his mind and Li Xingyun to make a move.
Li Xingyun suffered a loss in Yifan's hands last time, and he no longer dared to underestimate this junior's descendant, he was extremely stable in one move, and there were layers of strength in his sword, just trying to use up Yifan's strength a little bit with his own profound cultivation. There were about 20 moves in the battle, Liu Qianyuan and the others were afraid that Yifan would lose and hurriedly came up to help, how could the people of the Demon Sect let them get their wish, and for a while, the two sides were fighting together. I only heard a sudden sound of chanting Buddha from outside the battle group, but it was Shi Hong and Shi Bei's brothers who arrived, these two people were already high in cultivation, and they were also a new force, and they injured two Demon Sect disciples as soon as they entered. The entry of the two suddenly changed the situation between the two sides, the disciples of the Demon Sect were already weaker, and they originally had Li Xingyun in charge and some advantages in numbers, but they still had the upper hand, at this time, Li Xingyun was entangled by Lin Yifan, and it was difficult to solve it within a few dozen moves, and suddenly two young masters joined, and the form was stormy all of a sudden.
Seeing that the people of the Demon Sect were down, Li Xingyun forced Yifan to retreat with one move, and attacked the others, only to see that he swiped two swords and stabbed Shi Hong and Shi Bei respectively, using the Demon Sect's stunt Thousand Illusion Sword, and the two had to retreat to avoid the edge. When the Demon Sect saw him coming to relieve the siege, they knew his intentions, and they retreated into the forest one after another. Li Xingyun concocted the same method to force back the other two people nearby, and also retreated towards the forest. Yifan waited for a few miles, but when he saw that the terrain was complicated and many of his people were injured, he didn't dare to chase more, so he let them go.
Lin Yifan and the others were afraid that the Demon Sect would have their accomplices, so they were afraid that they would kill one of them, and continued to walk for an hour or so into the depths of the dense forest before stopping to repair. On the way, everyone also told each other about the situation after Yifan left that day and arrived on this island, Nan Feiyan and Liu Qianyuan needless to say, both of them and Sun Wei were teleported here when they came into contact with the falling white snow in Lingfeng City, and Sun Wei was the corpse that Yifan and the three of them saw in the forest at that time. The man and woman dressed in white were disciples from the southern Qingye Mountain, which was a giant in the southern sect, although it was not a behemoth like the Phoenix Sect and the Shenyin Temple, but it was also a first-class sect in the martial arts. This man and woman are named Meng Song and Liu Ruxu respectively, both of whom are the descendants of the head of Qingye Mountain, and they are also quite famous among the younger generation of martial arts. According to the two of them, there was also heavy snow falling in Rinjin Castle near Mt. Aoba, which is why the two arrived on this island. Meng Liu and the others met Nan Feiyan and others soon after they arrived on the island, and they wanted to go together to explore the situation on the island, but they didn't want to meet the demon sect people unexpectedly, under the fight, Sun Wei was stabbed to death by Li Xingyun with a sword, and the others wanted to escape and couldn't get rid of it, if it wasn't for Yifan and others to arrive in time, I am afraid that they would have suffered heavy losses.
Lin Yifan and Sun Wei have always had a general relationship, and they had a big fight the day before yesterday, but when they thought of his tragic death, they didn't feel gloomy in their hearts. Thinking that if he was a little late for a moment and a half, Nan Feiyan and Liu Qianyuan would also be very likely to be poisoned by the Demon Sect, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, and when he moved in the forest, he didn't want to leave Nan Feiyan and the others for a single step.
Everyone trimmed a little on the edge of the forest stream, Lin Yifan tore off a few pieces of his coat and bandaged the wound of Nanfeiyan, Shi Hong and the two went to the forest to find some fruits for everyone to satisfy their hunger, everyone discussed, and they all felt that if they wanted to understand the situation on the island, they still needed to climb high and look far away, and this place was not far from the high mountain in the island, and after a short rest, they continued to rush to the center of the island.
After walking for about half an hour, Lin Yifan and the others finally arrived at the foot of the high mountain. Unexpectedly, there was a small temple standing at the foot of the mountain. The small temple was extremely dilapidated, and even the wall outside the courtyard had collapsed in half, Lin Yifan and Shi Hong made eye contact, and both took the lead in rushing into the temple. As soon as they entered the temple, the two of them smelled a bloody breath, only to see that there was no statue of the god in the temple, but there was a stele standing in the center of the temple, and there was a corpse under the stele, and the blood around it had not yet dried up, and it was obvious that he had died not long ago. Lin Yifan and Shi Hong were not in a hurry to see the stele and the people under the stele, after one grabbed the stele, the other used his feet to rush to the beam, and only returned to the stele after confirming that no one was ambushed. At this time, except for Shi Bei and Qianyuan who were on guard at the door, everyone else had already come to the stone tablet. Shi Hong touched the pulse of the person under the stele, sighed slightly, and looked up at the stele. I saw a few lines of big red characters written on the stone stele:
Where the bones of living beings are buried,
Alone is allowed to return.
Kill all to enter the temple,
Yun Jun returned with his arms.
Everyone read these lines of words, all feel that some seem to understand or not, but listen to the mountain suddenly there is a thunder explosion, when going out to see, only to see that the clouds and mist on the mountain at this time are all dissipated, revealing a temple, there seems to be a tower in the temple, about several floors high, glowing with misty light, only looking at it from afar, it feels that there is a sense of ancient vicissitudes of life, but also makes people have a strong yearning heart, it seems that this temple, this tower is not only the hope of everyone to escape from this island, but also the place where everyone has achieved fame. Yifan and the others glanced at each other, and they all ran towards the top of the mountain.
On the nameless island, an ancient temple is mysteriously located on the top of the mountain, its mountain is extremely steep, the road is rugged and difficult, it is difficult for people who are not equipped with martial arts to climb, how this temple was built is a rather confusing thing. However, compared to all the bizarre things experienced today, this doubt about building a temple is an insignificant thing in the eyes of Lin Yifan and others.
The crowd followed the trail at the northern foot of the mountain all the way up, and the mountain became more and more shaky. In the end, it even took both hands and feet to continue to go up, and after walking for about half an hour, Lin Yifan, who was at the forefront, took a vertical leap and took the lead in rushing to the top of the ancient temple outside the mountain. I saw that this temple was surrounded by a red wall, and there were two stone statues at the entrance of the temple that could not be named, this stone statue looked like a human but not a human, but a beast or a beast, and the face showed a hideous color, which made people shudder when they saw it. Inside the red wall is the main hall of the temple, and there are also two hideous stone statues at the entrance of the main hall, but the appearance is different from the outside of the temple gate. Yifan and the others had just entered the hall, and before they could observe, they heard a shout from behind the hall, and hurriedly passed through the hall and ran to the courtyard behind the main hall.
Behind the main hall, inside the courtyard is a high tower of red bricks and green tiles, the tower is three floors, and it shines with misty light. At this time, there are three waves of people outside the tower, standing in three directions, one wave is mostly dressed in black, there are about more than ten people, the leader is the left protector of the Demon Sect Fei Wen and a middle-aged man with a knife in one hand, this man has an empty sleeve, I think it is the famous Demon Sect Four Elders Wei Li. Although this Wei Li is the four elders of the Demon Sect, when it comes to his fierce name, he is the most prosperous among the four elders of the Demon Sect. Legend has it that when he was young, he was cut off an arm by someone in a sword fight, and after he became a martial artist, he slaughtered all the people who injured him that year, according to the eyewitnesses at the time, all the people in the sect were cut off by him, bleeding to death, and suffered a lot of pain before death, all of which had a hideous face. Not only that, but from then on, every time he killed someone, he had to cut off his right arm, and the people in the rivers and lakes all changed color when they talked about him, and decent people all gritted their teeth and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
There are also more than ten people opposite the people of the Demon Sect, led by two middle-aged swordsmen, one of whom has tiger eyes and beard, his face is slightly red, and a middle sword in his hand is at least two hundred catties, and his momentum is extremely strong. The other was like a white-faced scholar, with a slender sword in his hand, which formed a strong contrast with the other.
On the right side of the more than ten people, near the tower, there were five men and women, dressed in different costumes, as if people from different sects had come in a temporary group.
I saw Shi Hong walking towards the two middle-aged swordsmen, clasping his hands together, and saying, "Amitabha, I have seen Master Zhou and Master Huang." The middle-aged man holding the heavy sword nodded lightly to Shi Hong, but his eyes did not leave Fei Wen for a second, and said, "You have come just in time, and you will join us to eliminate the demon guard." ”
Yifan had already guessed a few points when he saw the appearance of the two swordsmen, and when he heard Shi Hong call him Master Zhou, Master Huang was even more sure of the identities of the two. This heavy sword man is Zhou Baohu, the leader of the Zhenshan Gang of the Central Plains Great Faction, and the light sword man is his junior brother Huang Shengyun. The Zhenshan Gang is known as the largest gang in the Central Plains, the gang itself occupies an entire city, this gang and the Demon Sect have a deep enmity like the sea, the previous gang leader died under the siege of several elders of the Demon Sect, this time there are many more peace of mind with their disciples in the decent sect on the island.
I saw Zuo Protector smile slightly: "Hehe, Demon Removal Guardian Dao, is Gang Master Zhou to eliminate demons or to find this creation, and leave this island." ”
Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly remembered the words on the stone tablet at the bottom of the mountain. But he heard Zhou Baohu angrily reprimand: "Demon Sect demons, you still dare to confuse the public, see that I will kill you first today." With that, he took a few steps forward, and the heavy sword slashed.
The left protector didn't say much, and used a fan as a sword to come forward. I saw that the two of them were majestic, momentum like a rainbow, a light movement, dexterous abnormality, in the blink of an eye, they exchanged more than 20 moves but even the weapons did not touch each other, whenever the opponent's attack was coming, they could always dodge in the middle of the attack and attack the enemy must save the place, just more than 20 moves but attack and defend six or seven times, ordinary people only feel that the two of them are as light as a dance, but the expert seems to be a move to kill, dangerous and abnormal. After more than ten moves, the weapons of the two finally had their first touch, the folding fan slashed down, the heavy sword was raised, and there was a sound where the blades intersected, and the power of the rebound of the left protector Fei Fei turned a somersault in the air and fell back in front of the Demon Sect array.
Although the two dismantle each other, their eyes still dare not leave each other at any time, but they can't help but secretly admire each other in their hearts, feeling that the other party is the only enemy they have seen in their lives, a heavy sword makes the tiger and tiger but does not lose dexterity, one is outstanding but also profound, under a temptation, they did not find a little loophole in each other, and they also know that the other party still has a lot of stunts and hole cards in their hands, and they can't help but be afraid of each other.
Just when the two confronted each other, they heard a loud bang suddenly before the tower, as if there were nine thunderbolts straight down, followed by a painful shout, everyone looked at it only to find that Ben was on the left side of the Zhenshan Gang of five people suddenly missing one person, it turned out that this person took advantage of the time when Zhou Fei and the two fought in the dark, and wanted to sneak into this mysterious tower, but unexpectedly triggered the ban in the tower, which attracted the nine days of thunder and killed him in front of the tower.
Liu Qianyuan turned his head to look at Lin Yifan, Lin Yifan nodded at him, and said softly: "Immortal Array, this is a real Immortal Array, although the scope is small, the power is so strong, I am afraid that it is difficult for immortals who are not proficient in the formation to arrange." Unexpectedly, this place is very likely to be left by immortals. ”
I only heard Fei Wen chuckle, and said with a playful look on his face: "Haha, sure enough, the last person can't enter this tower, interesting, interesting." With a wave of his hand, the secret weapons of the Demon Sect suddenly collectively threw towards the Zhenshan Gang and the others, and then turned around and ran down the mountain. Yifan and the others hurriedly parried the hidden weapon, the people of the Demon Sect had already climbed out of the courtyard wall at this time, and everyone had lost the opportunity, and they were afraid of Fei Wen and the others, and they didn't chase much, and watched the people of the Demon Sect go down the mountain.
