Among the five, Shen Lingxiao had the best light skills, leaped over the wall, chased Qiu Ling with his tail, and stabbed him in the back of the heart with a fierce sword. Qiu Ling turned around and blocked a knife, shouted angrily, and a series of three thunderbolt knife tricks "thunder in the sky", "thunder pierced the ears", "thunder and lightning around", and the snowy knife lightning flashed and thundered towards Shen Lingxiao.

Shen Lingxiao had never met an opponent with such a sharp sword technique in his life, and he was strong enough to block the three swords with the defensive move of the Songfeng Sword Technique, which made his chest tense and his arms numb. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and raised his long sword, and while retreating, he connected to the five fast knives that Qiu Ling was chasing.

Ling Kong and Zhu Yong then rushed to it, and the two monsters screamed, one left and one right, and they both turned around and snatched out, and their claws flashed like thunder and lightning, attacking the two of them. Volley exclaimed, took a step back, and the long sword shook out three sword flowers, dissolving the claw of Dizun's chest. Zhu Yong's cultivation was slightly worse, and the long sword couldn't cover it, and he was grabbed by Tianzun's claw into his right shoulder, and he suddenly felt heartbreaking, and let out a sharp scream.

Zhenguan landed on tiptoe a little, and flew towards Tianzun like a flag flower, Tianzun felt that the sword was cold, and he didn't dare to take it hard, and rolled on the ground, forcing him to open the sword in his chest.

Dozens of responding gangs rushed up, and Zhenguan conjured up a sword light in front of him, and several enemies were injured and snorted.

Zhenguan shouted: "Go back!" The probe held Zhu Yong under his ribs and blocked in front of the four of them, and the long sword danced into a ball of light and shadow, blocking the enemy in front of him.

Volley, Ling Xiao, Yin Tianjin, and Jiang Ling Xiu gave up the enemy and flew over the wall one after another. Zhenguan shook his arms, jumped on the wall with his back, waved his long sword, and in the sound of "ding" and "ding", he knocked a few hidden weapons and jumped back into the village in a blink of an eye.

Boss Sha waved his hand and shouted, "Go on!

Tianzun shouted: "Slow! Come back!"

Seeing that no one was following, the Sha brothers, who were rushing ahead, retreated while waving their double hooks and knocking the arrows that fell from the wall.

Boss Sha was unwilling, and said to Tianzun angrily: "Brother Yuan, why don't you take the opportunity to enter the village?"

"The enemy is in the dark, I'm in the light, it's too dangerous! Let's talk about it when it's dawn!" Tianzun said coldly.

Boss Sha looked at Qiu Ling in the faint light, and saw that he waved his hand to him, but he didn't dare to be reckless, and hatefully inserted the double hook back into his waist.

Tianzun muttered to himself: "This Zhenguan old man, it's really difficult to deal with!" After pondering for a while, he asked, "Brother Qiu, in addition to these hard hands who shot tonight, are there any other hard hands in the village?"

Qiu Ling thought about it sideways and said, "Is it hard?...... It's nothing. We've injured a few of their hard hands earlier!"

"Oh," Tianzun nodded, "then there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"I'm worried that they will quietly withdraw after they startle the snakes!" Qiu Ling emphasized.

"Hehe!" Tianzun sneered: "When the deity fought with that Zhenguan Lao'er tonight, he deliberately showed weakness, I think he would think that the deity is nothing more than that!"

"What does Brother Yuan mean?" Qiu Ling was secretly surprised by Tianzun's scheming and asked suspiciously.

"They won't leave!" Tianzun said confidently: "The head of the dignified Qingcheng, how could he flee in the wilderness?...... Moreover, Zhenguan Lao'er may not have taken the deity in his eyes. ”

"It's better to be careful!" Qiu Ling was still not at ease.

"Brother Qiu, in this way, you send people to keep an eye on the manor to prevent them from escaping quietly!" Tianzun touched his nose and said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that they have a secret way, so they quietly withdraw. Qiu Ling shook his head and frowned.

"This ......," Tianzun muttered, "Brother Qiu mean, or do you want to attack it immediately?"

"Not really...... I just have this concern. Qiu Ling looked very conflicted.

"Hmph, what if you run away!" Dizun snorted coldly, "Isn't it fun to play cat and mouse?"

Qiu Ling glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

"In this way," Tianzun thought carefully and quickly thought of a compromise solution, "Brother Qiu, you still arrange for people to keep an eye on you." In the meantime, we check again from time to time to see if they have escaped. ”

Qiu Lingxi said: "Brother Yuan's method is the best...... We might as well harass them from time to time, and we can judge by looking at the situation they are fighting!"

Tianzun smiled and said, "That's what it means!"

※※※

After everyone withdrew to the village, they saw that the enemy did not chase in, and they all sighed.

Zhenguan asked Ling Xiao to hold the injured Zhu Yong and hurry up to wrap his wounds, standing in place and waiting for Zhu Dongfan, and after he instructed the martial artist who was guarding, he said softly: "Brother Zhu, please come with me!"

Suddenly there was a strong enemy again, Zhu Dongfan was flustered, there were already some six gods without masters, but he wanted to use Zhenguan's strong martial arts to repel the enemy. immediately followed him like a life-saving straw, and hurriedly followed him into the living room.

Without waiting to sit down, Zhenguan turned around and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhu, is there a secret passage leading to the outside in the village?"

Zhu Dongfan was stunned, shook his head and said, "No...... Brother Zhenguan, do you mean that we will withdraw?"

"That's not it," Zhenguan sighed in disappointment and shook his head, "The enemy has several people with strong martial arts, and there are many people, so I'm worried...... We can't handle ......."

Zhu Dongfan said anxiously: "This ...... What can I do?"

"I want my siblings and your family to evacuate first!" said Zhenguan.

"This is a good way!" Zhu Dongfan's brows stretched for a moment, and then he immediately frowned again, "It's just that there is no secret way...... How can we safely cover their withdrawal?"

"Is there a road to the back mountain?" Zhenguan looked at Zhu Dongfan, looking a little nervous, as if he was afraid that he would say something negative again.

"That's right!" Zhu Dongfan barely squeezed out a smile, "There is a small gate in the backyard, a path leading to the back mountain. ”

"Great!" Sadakan looked excited, "Is that road easy for the enemy to discover?"

Zhu Dongfan said while groaning: "What about the road...... Rarely walked, the back door and trail are covered by wild grass...... During the day, you can still see it, but at night, it's not so easy to spot. ”

Zhenguan asked, "If the enemy searches carefully at night, can he find it?"

"This ...... Not necessarily!" Zhu Dongfan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Anyway, it doesn't take a little effort, you can't find it!"

"Can you find a horse nearby?" said Zhenguan, thinking far ahead, to arrange everything properly.

"This is no problem!" Zhu Dongfan affirmed: "The owner of the Zhupo section is my good friend, you can borrow a horse from him!"

"How far is it?" asked Zhenguan.

"About three miles. Insiders know the way!" Zhu Dongfan said, "After borrowing the horse, let them rush to Hanzhou overnight and settle down at my eldest son-in-law's 'Xu's Rice Hang'!"

"Okay!" Zhenguan made up her mind, "You go and ask your brother and sister to pack their bags and leave in the middle of the night." ”

"Why don't you leave right away?" Zhu Dongfan looked very anxious.

"Don't rush to leave yet!" Zhenguan straightened his beard, "I guess they're watching around right now...... In this way, I have to work hard Brother Zhu from time to time to bring people to the wall to show their faces......"

Zhu Dongfan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"I'll show up from time to time, too!" Zhenguan sneered, "Besides, we're going to kill them when they leave!"

"Understood! Brother Zhenguan, there is really you!" Zhu Dongfan's eyes lit up, "What a trick to hide people's eyes and ears and attract the enemy!"

"I'm going to let Tianjin and Ling Xiao protect them along the way," Zhenguan's expression was solemn, "I still have something to explain to Ling Xiao!"

"This ...... We have two less hard hands, how can we be able to defeat them?" Zhu Dongfan became worried again.

"When the time comes, if you can't beat it, just retreat!" said Zhenguan gloomily, "There is no better way...... However, we have no worries, and it will be easier to retreat!"

Zhenguan walked briskly back to the room and placed the sword on the table with a gloomy face.

Ling Kong and Ling Xiao were not in the room, they were probably going to visit their injured brothers.

Zhenguan walked out quickly, searched for a while, and saw Xuan Lingyu, You Xiong, and Yu Shangwen wrapped in bandages, gathering together with Ling Xiao, Ling Kong, Yin Tianjin, etc., and accompanying Zhu Yong, who had just been wounded.

Walking in quickly, everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted him, Zhen nodded and walked to the bed, seeing Zhu Yong's face pale, and he was moaning painfully with his eyes closed, so he asked softly, "How is it?"

Ling Xiao whispered: "The collarbone is scratched......"

Zhu Yong opened his eyes, saw that it was Zhenguan, and wanted to sit up.

Zhenguan held him down and said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"

Zhu Yong's expression was sad, and he muttered, "It's wasted...... The wound is very itchy, and this claw is poisonous!"

Zhenguan sighed in his heart, took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured a few pills and fed them to Zhu Yong's mouth, and said warmly: "After eating this blood detoxification pill, don't use your true qi in vain, rest well!"

Zhu Yong swallowed the elixir while looking at Zhenguan with grateful eyes and nodded slightly.

Zhenguan no longer paid attention to him, turned to Ling Xiao and said, "You come with me!"

※※※

Shen Lingxiao saw the master's expression, and knew that he had something to say to himself alone, so he hurriedly followed him back to the room.

Zhenguan motioned for Ling Xiao to close the door, and the two walked to the coffee table and sat down.

"How did you feel about fighting the enemy just now?" asked Zhenguan with a pleasant face.

"Uh......" Ling Xiao looked ashamed, shook his head and said: "That strange man who is not afraid of the blade and the enemy who wields the sword, the martial arts are too strong, and the disciple is not an opponent, so he is very ashamed...... This time I came out with the master, and I really realized the sinister rivers and lakes, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...... As far as the disciple's ability is concerned, if it weren't for the protection of Xuanhongzi's predecessors and masters, I don't know how many times I have died......"

Zhenguan looked at Ling Xiao and said: "The rivers and lakes are originally a place where the weak eat the strong! A person in the martial arts can avoid dying under the sword for a lifetime, in addition to being particularly lucky, the most important thing is to learn the skills of others!"

Ling Xiao lowered his head and bit his lip, looking at his toes.

"Don't be discouraged!" Zhenguan said with relief: "Of the two people who fought with you, one was one of the two monsters, and the other should be Qiu Ling, the 'Thunderbolt Knife'. Their martial arts are not under the control of many gang leaders...... Let's just talk about this Qiu Ling, he was the master of the Hongyun Dart Bureau back then, and in terms of knife skills, he was at least able to squeeze within the top 30. ”

Ling Xiao muttered, "No wonder, the disciple has a hard time taking a few moves from him, let alone having the strength to fight back!"

"Blindly defensive, passive everywhere, of course it is difficult to parry!" Zhenguan stared at Ling Xiao intently, "You must know that my Qingcheng swordsmanship is known for its lightness and agility. The word 'swift' not only refers to the sword, but more importantly, it should be accompanied by swift pace...... These truths have been taught to you by the master on weekdays, why do you become flustered and forget all about it when you encounter a strong enemy?...... The pace of the three talents, the pace of the five elements, and the pace of the nine stars, which one is not the same as the strange and the unpredictable? These steps are based on the secret Hetuluo book of our Taoist sect, and the Beidou of Heaven and Earth dominates the way of life of all things in heaven and earth, and everything under the heavens and the earth cannot be reasonable! In the future, as long as you study it diligently, let alone the thunderbolt sword technique, it is a martial art that is a hundred times stronger than it, what can you do to me?

Ling Xiao said suddenly: "The disciple is not talented, and he has the heart to live up to the teachings of his master, and he is extremely ashamed!"

Zhenguan snorted coldly: "Ashamed? Fight for life and death, either you die or I die! If you can't defeat the enemy, you will lose your own life, not for the teacher! What do you have to be ashamed of for the teacher?"

Ling Xiao's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhen looked at his self-conscious appearance, his heart softened, and his cold face gradually gentle: "The rivers and lakes have been calm these years, and the teacher rarely takes you to the rivers and lakes to walk, and it is understandable that he has little experience in facing the enemy." But you remember: when you encounter a strong enemy, you must first calm your mind and calmly respond to the battle. In the martial arts, life and death is the best training ground...... Now the famous master in the martial arts, which one has not experienced setbacks in the rivers and lakes and died for life?"

Ling Xiao looked up at the master, and said, "The master's teachings will always be remembered by the disciples!"

Zhenguan patted him on the shoulder, said hello, stood up, walked to the bed, picked up the burden on the pillow, took out a black square wooden box from it, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said, "Take it! The box contains my Qingcheng mastery - "Qingcheng Secret Record" and "Imperial Sword Divine Illusion Skill". It took more than a month for the teacher to transcribe it. Originally, I wanted to wait until I arrived at Chaotian Fort to give it to you, so that you could study it yourself in the future, but I didn't expect ......"

Ling Xiao pushed, "Master, by all means, how can a disciple be qualified to study?"

"Do you dare not listen to the words of the teacher? I said that if you have it, you will have it!" Zhenguan seemed to be a little angry and forced it into his hands. Ling Xiao had no choice but to take the box.

"Don't be presumptuous!" Zhenguan patted him on the shoulder, "Taihe Gong, Songfeng Sword, Nine-Star Sword, Heart-Destroying Palm, Sancai, Five Elements, and Nine-Star Pace have all been passed on to you, and there is nothing left to pass on to you as a teacher...... As a teacher, his qualifications are limited, and for many years, he has never been able to cultivate these two stunts of my school...... Hey, so I can't pass it on to you!"

"But...... Master, without your guidance, how can I achieve cultivation with my current cultivation?" Ling Xiao looked unconfident.

"You are the most talented disciple in my Qingcheng sect today!" Zhenguan said affirmatively: "To cultivate these two stunts, you must have a wisdom root and need an epiphany...... From now on, the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, plants and trees are your true masters!"

Ling Xiao said that Ling Xiao had a feeling of being weaned from a doll, and he was panicked and in a daze.

"People say that it is difficult to find a famous teacher," Zhenguan sighed, and said with some excitement: "Actually, if you want to find a good apprentice, it is even more difficult to find! Ling Xiao, I have this confidence as a teacher: you are the best among my peers in the Qingcheng faction, so if you are a Shaolin, Wudang or Kunlun disciple, you are also the best!"

Ling Xiao saw that the master was a little excited, and couldn't bear to brush his mind, so he snorted for a while and didn't say anything.

"Let's open it and take a look!" Zhenguan said with a smile.

Ling Xiao saw that the box was not locked, but the lid of the box was tightly closed, and after breaking it twice, it couldn't be opened.

"Press here!" Zhenguan pressed on a raised latch on the side of the box, and with a "click", the lid popped open.

Inside the box are two new books transcribed and bound on thick rice paper. Ling Xiao took it out and flipped through it, seeing that "The Secret Record of Qingcheng" was only about twenty pages, and "Imperial Sword Divine Illusion Skill" was only sixty or seventy pages, but the book was full of pictures and texts, and it really took a lot of work to transcribe it, and I was very grateful.

"Put it away first, and then look at it slowly!" Zhenguan was very pleased to see the apprentice's eager expression, and said with a smile.

"This box is so cleverly made!" Ling Xiao admired the box as he closed the lid.

"This is done for the teacher himself!" Zhenguan also looked a little proud.

"Master, you've worked as a carpenter before, haven't you?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Well, I've been doing it for a few years. Zhenguan actually talked about the past, "As a teacher, Hou was an orphan, and when he was nine years old, he began to work as a running boy in a restaurant. I remember one winter day when I was eleven years old, I had a severe cold for my teacher, and the high fever did not go away, but the shopkeeper forced me to work. I was groggy and accidentally fell and spilled all the food on a customer. The shopkeeper had a vicious heart and ordered a fellow to beat me up. ”

"Fortunately, that guest is the kindest outsider in the world, asked the reason, took me back to his house to heal my injuries, and asked someone to help me find a carpenter surnamed Huang in Chengdu Mansion, so that I could learn the craft...... When he was fifteen years old, he went to Qingcheng Mountain to repair the Shangqing Palace with Master Huang, and was favored by your master and accepted as a disciple...... Master, I learned art late, and my qualifications are mediocre, so it is difficult to compare with my predecessors in martial arts, so I am really ashamed of my master!"

"It turns out that the master was so bitter when he was young!" Ling Xiao sighed: "The disciple has such good conditions, but he ...... Don't worry, master, I will definitely work hard!"

Zhen nodded his head, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "After all these years of practice, although I have not been able to succeed in my cultivation, master, I still understand some of the truths of my Qingcheng mastery. I want to tell you first, you should keep it in mind, and you may be able to use it as a reference in your future practice......"

"People say that the stunt of my Qingcheng faction is swordsmanship, but in fact, it is not, the real one should be said to be internal strength. The stunt I sent is based on the innate to the essence of the body, and the sword move is used. The most difficult thing is the first level, which requires a real understanding of the "Secret Record of Qingcheng" in order to cultivate to the essence of Qi and the undefeated golden body. Once this level is broken, step by step, it will not be difficult to cultivate "Edgeworth Divine Illusion Skill". In fact, this "Imperial Sword Divine Illusion Skill" is just an application in swordsmanship after cultivating the "Qingcheng Secret Record...... The sword technique contains the dragon search trick, the dragon trick, the dragon entanglement trick, the dragon protection trick, the dragon trick, a total of five tricks, after the cultivation, there is almost no resistance in the world!"

Ling Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "Master, I once heard the ancestor say that our Qingcheng Sect has produced four seniors who have cultivated stunts and are invincible in the world, is it true?"

"It can't all be said to be invincible in the world," Zhenguan shook his head truthfully, "However, the 'Yixin' predecessor who cultivated in the early years of the Song Dynasty was really invincible in the world recognized by the martial arts at that time!"
