Chapter 18: Intricacies

The gray-haired old woman turned and stood still, expressionless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Yizhong and Xia Xiyun made a detour, but they had just taken more than ten steps.

"Stop"

This gray-haired old woman instantly moved in front of Lu Yizhong, blocking the way.

"Dare to ask the seniors what advice they have?" Lu Yizhong clenched his fists.

The old woman's technique was very fast, and she sealed the acupoints of the two of them at once, so that they couldn't move, "Destroy my cave mansion, and I want to leave." ”

"Could it be that this cave is from the predecessors," Lu Yizhong guessed, scrutinizing.

"Exactly" The old woman leaned over to Lu Yizhong's side, sniffed, "Where is Yin Qiuping?", and then took two steps back and looked at Lu Yizhong, with a surprised face, "What is your father's surname?" and muttered, "Like, really like." ”

Lu Yizhong's mind was full of question marks: "Why do you ask my father what is his surname and who is his name?"

"His surname is Lu, and his father's surname is naturally Lu. Xia Xiyun responded.

"Bang" Xia Xiyun was slapped by the old woman, and five finger prints suddenly appeared on her face.

The old woman said angrily, "I'll ask, and others won't interject." ”

"Senior, why is this? She was not wrong, her father's surname was indeed Lu. Lu Yizhong argued.

The old woman untied the two of them, and they sat down on the grass.

"Why is Li Qingying chasing and killing you?" the old woman stood with her back to the two.

Xia Xiyun was very surprised, "You mean to say that my master's name is Li Qingying." ”

"Are you Li Qingying's apprentice?" the old woman turned to look at Xia Xiyun, "It's really like a flower and jade, a fox spirit." "Sit down cross-legged" Boy, let me ask you, who gave you your martial arts, and who is your master?"

Lu Yizhong slowly continued, "I have two masters, one is the head of the Oolong Sect and the other is Yun'er. ”

"Who is Yun'er?"

Lu Yizhong pointed to Xia Xiyun next to him, "Yun'er is her." ”

"You said that she is your master, why don't you have any internal strength at all. The old woman was confused, as if she was thinking about something, "Li Qingying's disciple has no internal strength, but you are your master, and you have deep internal strength." But you have done what you have done. ”

"Don't hide it from our predecessors, we have made a private decision for life. In fact, Yun'er's internal strength is all here. Lu Yizhong continued slowly.

"That's right, the fate of cultivating the Holy Maiden's Heart Sutra. "The old woman seems to know the secrets of the Heart Sutra of the Holy Maiden.

Lu Yizhong thought for a moment and said, "What is the relationship between the predecessors and the Holy Maiden Palace?"

"Stinky boy, I didn't ask you, but you asked about me, where did the fragrance on your body come from. The old woman's voice was a little louder.

Lu Yizhong recounted how the cattle were knocked down the hill by the cows, and then told the story of the parents who were killed and then became the disciples of the oolong.

"My parents are honest and authentic croppers, and they can't fight with the rivers and lakes. Why were my parents beaten to death by martial arts masters? Lu Yizhong recalled the past and felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, I can't hide from what I should have come. The old woman sighed, "Okay, since you were chased and killed by Li Qingying, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and I will tell you about my relationship with Li Qingying." ”

I only listened to the old woman continue slowly, telling about her and Li Qingying.

It turned out that Yin Qiuping was the head of Wujimen, and he had a total of 5 disciples. The eldest disciple Meng Caidie, the second disciple Yuan Chongzhi, the third disciple Li Qingying, the fourth disciple Liu Rufeng, and the fifth disciple Nangong Yan. Yin Qiuping taught the five disciples martial arts, and the disciples got along day and night, and gradually developed feelings for each other.

This old woman is the senior sister Meng Caidie.

Meng Caidie slowly told the story again.

It turned out that the fourth junior brother Liu Rufeng liked the third junior sister Li Qingying, and then the second junior brother Yuan Chongzhi secretly liked the younger junior sister Nangong Yan.

"Hey, it's messy, it's messy. Meng Caidie sighed, "When I knew that my little junior sister Nangong Yan liked Master, I didn't know what to do at that time." Meng Caidie's face was melancholy, "I think I am the closest to Master's age." Master, he is only ten years older than me. But I didn't expect ......"

Meng Caidie thought for a moment, and then slowly continued, "Master was in his forties at the time, but he never married a wife, but I didn't expect Master to gradually distance himself from me. It was Li Qingying's slut who provoked it, she was afraid that the master would teach me the superior martial arts of her own sect, and ruin my reputation in front of the master, saying that I was hooking up outside. ”

Meng Caidie choked up, "Later, a few of our senior brothers and sisters made a big move, and the master and the little junior sister disappeared with Tianyuan Dan. After Master disappeared, the four of us fell apart and went our separate ways. ”

Meng Caidie slowly continued, "But the third junior sister Li Qingying always thought that the master had already taught me the superior martial arts of this sect. A few years ago, I was attacked by Li Qingying, and after I was seriously injured, I was no match for Li Qingying. I was afraid that she would ask me for the best martial arts of my sect again, so I built a mechanism for the golden cicada to shed its shell in the cave, so as to fake my death, hide from the world, survive in the world, and continue to search for the whereabouts of the master."

"The pure yang wuji skill engraved in the stone room is not the superior martial arts that Li Qingying wants to get. Lu Yizhong asked.

Meng Caidie shook her head: "No." The male disciples accepted by the master taught the Pure Yang Wuji, and the female disciples taught the Holy Maiden Heart Sutra. Master didn't teach me the superior martial arts."

Lu Yizhong asked again, "Is there any secret to the second half of the Holy Maiden's Heart Sutra engraved in the stone room, the evil work?" ”

"I don't know about this, but after Master left, I went into Master's study and found that someone had turned it over, and I only found a manuscript that had not been written. I think that since it is an evil work, I have been enlightened for a long time, and I have not yet learned the mystery, so I carved it in the stone room and waited for the destined person. ”

Lu Yizhong was a little puzzled, "Senior, what is Tianyuan Dan." Does it have anything to do with the scent on my body? ”

Meng Caidie nodded, "Yes." ”

Xia Xiyun seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "After Master asked me to save him, I taught him the internal strength and mental method." "It means to save Lu Yizhong and teach the inner strength of the heart" has anything to do with Tian Yuan Dan. ?

Meng Caidie's eyes closed slightly, and then opened them again, "Of course it matters, if you take Tianyuan Pill, through the cultivation of internal strength, your internal strength will improve, dozens of times faster than ordinary people." Moreover, Tian Yuan Dan can greatly increase its power after taking it, and it itself contains internal force. After taking it, it is transformed into the internal force of the cultivator through the cultivation of the internal strength of the mind. ”

"No wonder I'm improving so fast. Lu Yizhong felt suddenly enlightened, and had some eyebrows about the answer, "Seniors, juniors are looking for enemies, so don't pass by." ”。 Stand up, bow down and clench your fists.

"Go" Meng Caidie lightly touched the ground with her feet and flew away, "With your current martial arts, you are by no means Li Qingying's opponent, save your strength, wait for him to complete his martial arts, and avenge me." "Gone.

"Congratulations to seniors" Lu Yizhong said loudly, raising his voice.

After Meng Caidie left, the two also left here. The two talked as they walked. Lu Yizhong told Xia Xiangyun that he was wronged by Yang Yi and carried the black cauldron. The purpose of this trip is to find out who killed Yang Yi and return his innocence. At the same time, the culprit of the murder of his parents is tracked down.

Xia Xiyun didn't have an idea, "Yizhong, where do we go first to start checking?"

"My cousin, and Erya, I don't know if they will embarrass them. Lu Yizhong was worried, "Yes, let's go back to Wulongmen first and see my cousin and Erya." ”

"Hmm"

The two hurried in the direction of the Oolong Gate. This walk is more than ten days, on the road, through Xia Xiyun's guidance. Lu Yizhong has made great progress in light martial arts and martial arts moves, and his internal strength has become deeper.

On this day, the two were in a hurry, passing through a forest. At noon, the sun shines through the treetops and onto the ground.

"What smell?" Lu Yizhong sniffed.

Xia Xiyun pointed not far away, "Look quickly"

Lu Yizhong looked up and saw a person lying on a stone the size of a table, motionless. The two of them walked towards the stone.

"Don't move," Xia Xiyun grabbed Lu Yizhong's wrist, "The corpse is poisonous." ”

Lu Yizhong took a closer look and saw the lying corpse, the neck was black, and a thin steel needle was inserted in the middle of the black place. If you look closely, you can see a throwing knife stuck in your chest. He picked up a twig from the ground and gently pried the body. "Yun'er, this corpse is soft, how can there be a foul smell?"

"I don't know. Xia Xiyun looked up, "Yizhong, look, there are still a lot of corpses over there." ”

Lu Yizhong looked up and glanced at it, these corpses were all wearing the same clothes, and they should be disciples of the same sect. He walked over and looked at the corpses one by one, "It is strange why the other corpses did not have black on their necks, but black palms, and there were no needles stuck in the black places." There were other corpses with a throwing knife stuck in them."

Xia Xiyun thought for a moment and then "was injured by two hidden weapons, was it a flying knife or a needle that was fatal?" Because she didn't come over, she looked at the situation of the other corpses, and didn't know that the other corpses were not hit by needles.

Lu Yizhong walked to Xia Xiyun's side, "Yun'er, I think these people were poisoned by a poisonous needle." But others did not have poison shots. ”

Xia Xiyun looked confused, "Since the others were not hit by the poisonous needle, how could they be poisoned by the poisonous needle?"

"The others, just because there are no poisoning needles, but the palms of their hands are all jet black, exactly the same as the poisoning needles" Lu Yizhong felt very frightened, "Could it be—"

"What's the matter?"

Lu Yizhong continued: "Could it be that after this poisonous needle hits a person, it is contagious. Therefore, as long as one of these people was hit by a poisonous needle, the others came to save him, and one by one they were infected to death. ”

Xia Xiyun's face was full of horror and "madness"

Lu Yizhong seemed to be recalling something, and then said, "Before, I heard Mr. Storyteller say that there is a kind of secret weapon called a mourning needle, one person is poisoned, and all the doors are mourned. ”

Xia Xiyunhua's face was pale, she didn't say a word for a long time, holding Lu Yizhong's arm, looking very scared.

"What about these corpses? Lu Yizhong pushed the corpse into a pile with the force of his palm. Then I got dry firewood and leaves, and piled up a thick layer. It was then lit, and after a while, the flame burned violently, filling the air with the smell of roasted meat. He silently blessed in his heart, "Rest in peace"

The two of them slowly left the place. Walked about 500 meters away.

"Zheng Zheng" came the sound of swords colliding.

After Lu Yizhong heard the voice, he and Xia Xiyun hid in the bushes. Look at a few tens of meters away.

The two groups of people stood facing each other, about fifty or sixty people.

"Why did you kill my sect disciple?" The person who spoke was a man in his forties, tall, with more than twenty people standing behind him, and these people were wearing the same clothes as the ones Lu Yizhong wore when he burned the pile of corpses.
