Chapter 51 Meeting Friends with Force
After Sima Chongcheng met Gaozong, he was canonized as the Lingzhen National Teacher by the imperial court, and also built a new Lingzhen Temple for him in Lin'an City, and it seems that he will not be able to return to Qujiang Wuzhi Mountain for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info although there is no shortage of dignitaries and dignitaries to visit, but most of them are people who cling, Sima Chongcheng in addition to hastily coping, there is no sense of comfort. Over time, Sima Chongcheng had to sigh that the Jingshi Lu was far away, and there was no reason for anyone to talk about.
Speaking of the old man, in fact, there is still one Jingshi, that is Zhao Chengzong. Speaking of Zhao Chengzong, Sima Chongcheng not only wanted to talk to him about the old days, but also had something to worry about, so he went to Yinglong Villa with him.
"Master Zhao, don't say a few days, but are you okay?" asked Sima Chongcheng earnestly.
"Blessings to Sect Master Tosima, everything is fine below. Zhao Chengzong said heartily.
"This pilgrimage to Beijing is all due to the guidance of the owner of Zhao Zhuang, and the poor road has not thanked the owner of Zhao Zhuang. Today, I prepared a small gift, and asked the owner of Zhao Zhuang to smile. Sima Chongcheng said, then took out a small box and handed it to Zhao Chengzong.
"Why did Sect Leader Sima see the outside world like this? I became attached to the Sect Leader since Wuzhi Mountain, so I decided that the Sect Leader was a friend of my Zhao, how did I receive this gift?" Zhao Chengzong hurriedly pushed back.
"Master Zhao Zhuang has the grace to the Red Lotus Sect with me, if you don't accept it, you will look down on the poor Dao, let alone be a friend of the Poor Dao. Sima Chongcheng said unhappily.
"Sect Master Sima, don't misunderstand, just accept it. Zhao Chengzong said and took the small box, and suddenly felt that the box was heavy and quite competent, so he smiled at Sima Chongcheng.
"I have a relationship with Zhao Zhuang Wuzhi Mountain, and I have long regarded Zhao Zhuang as a close friend, today in addition to thanking Zhao Zhuang for his kindness, in fact, I also came to Zhao Zhuang this friend to reminisce about the past. Sima Chongcheng said openly.
"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it. Sima Sect Leader inside, please. Zhao Chengzong said respectfully.
I saw Zhao Chengzong leading Sima Chongcheng to the lobby, and then treated each other with good tea. Sima Chongcheng was so hospitably entertained that he felt at home and his mood was greatly relaxed.
"This Jingshi is good at everything, but there are fewer old people. Sima Chongcheng sighed.
Zhao Chengzong can naturally understand his loneliness, after all, Sima Chongcheng has spent most of his life in the Lingnan Mountains, and now that he has just arrived, how many acquaintances can he have?
"Isn't Zhao the old man of the sect leader? If the sect leader Sima is free, he can often come to my Yinglong Villa to sit down; if I am empty, I will definitely go to the Lingzhen Temple from time to time to pay respects. Zhao Chengzong said with a smile.
"It's really fortunate that the poor road has to meet a friend like Zhao Zhuang. Sima Chongcheng said gratefully.
Zhao Chengzong smiled heartily and asked Sima Chongcheng for tea.
"By the way, last time I heard Lord Zhao Zhuang say that the martial arts conference will be held next month, I don't know which heroes will come to the meeting. Sima Chongcheng asked curiously.
Zhao Chengzong knew that he asked about the reason for this martial arts conference, and naturally it was because he was allowed to sit on the throne of the martial arts alliance leader on that day, so he counted all the major martial arts sects at the moment.
"Unexpectedly, in addition to the nine major martial arts factions, other martial arts warriors have also come to help, it seems that this martial arts conference must be very lively. Sima Chongcheng said expectantly.
"The Central Plains martial arts have always been in the same spirit, and now that the sword gate is in trouble, of course everyone has to come out to help. Zhao Chengzong said.
"Yes, although my Red Lotus Sect was canonized by the imperial court, after all, I still belong to the martial arts, and I am one of the sword sects, so I naturally have to contribute. Sima Chongcheng said solemnly.
"Sect Master Sima not only has to contribute this time, but also dominates this martial arts conference as the authentic sect of the Sword Sect. Zhao Chengzong said.
Zhao Chengzong's words finally hit the topic, Sima Chongcheng was suddenly shocked, and the teacup in his hand was immediately put down.
"Thank you Lord Zhao for your kindness, but just now Lord Zhao also said that the nine major sects are all here to participate this time, and they must be as good as a cloud, but I am afraid that the poor Dao will not be able to catch it. Sima Chongcheng said worriedly.
"Haha, don't worry about Sect Leader Sima, I said that I would do my best to assist Sect Leader to ascend to the throne, and I will definitely do it. Zhao Chengzong said lightly.
Sima Chongcheng was skeptical, but he was still not very relieved, but because of his bad face, he asked Zhao Chengzong directly about his plan, so he tasted the tea carefully.
Zhao Chengzong saw his thoughts at a glance, so he smiled slightly, and then said: "Although there is no shortage of martial arts outstanding people in the nine major factions, this martial arts conference is to uphold justice for the Sword Gate, and naturally someone from the Sword Gate needs to be the leader of the alliance, and this is also agreed upon by everyone before." Looking at the martial arts of the Sword Gate in the world, it is the Red Lotus Family Method, the leader of the Sima sect, who is the most exquisite, and I believe that the position of the leader of the alliance is none other than the sect leader. ”
After Sima Chongcheng heard these words, he couldn't help but feel very comfortable in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt very relieved.
"But today's martial arts sword sect is numerous, and there are many people with profound attainments, take Yuan Zongliang of the Sword Villa as an example, with his Broken Rainbow Sword Sword Qi and three feet of strength, I don't think I will lose my Red Lotus Sword Technique. Sima Chongcheng said worriedly.
"Yuan Zongliang has always lived in Baijian Villa, not asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he has not seen him do anything since the change of the Sword Sect, and he has long been despised by other sects. People who stay out of the matter like this are afraid that they will not be welcomed if they go to the martial arts conference. Zhao Chengzong said disappreciatively.
"What if he still goes?" said Sima Chongcheng, putting down his teacup.
"Although it is rumored that the swordsmanship of the Sword Villa is exquisite, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes. Zhao Chengzong said a little unconvinced.
"The so-called groundless wind must have some basis, so let's make more preparations. Sima Chongcheng said earnestly.
Zhao Chengzong saw that he was so cautious, and he also knew that he was determined to succeed this time, so in order to completely reassure him, he said slowly: "Sect Master, don't worry, I have already arranged this matter." Later, when I take you to meet someone, you will be completely relieved. ”
"Oh, what is sacred?" asked Sima Chongcheng curiously.
Zhao Chengzong smiled and didn't answer, just got up and asked, and then went to the back mountain of Yinglong Villa. Sima Chongcheng had no choice but to follow suspiciously.
The outside of this Yinglong Villa is naturally infinitely beautiful, but after turning into the mountain, it instantly becomes a lot more depressed, except for the overgrown, there is not even a decent mountain road, as if it has never been taken care of.
Sima Chongcheng looked back and forth all the way, and when he saw the rugged mountain road, he was even more confused in his heart.
After walking for a stick of incense in the mountains, the two came to a cliff in the back mountain. But I saw that there were three or two huts here, and there was an open open space paved with granite, and the surroundings were spotless, and it seemed to be inhabited.
"This is there?" asked Sima Chongcheng.
"Yes, this is it. Zhao Chengzong said proudly.
Sima Chongcheng poked his head out curiously and glanced into the room, but saw that there was a Dongying samurai sitting upright inside, but it was Miyamoto Zhongyi.
"It turned out to be a ronin. Sima Chongcheng muttered to himself and said in a low voice.
"Master Zhao is here. Miyamoto said respectfully.
"Shocking Wind, let me introduce you, this is the Red Lotus Sect Master Sima. Zhao Chengzong said proudly.
Miyamoto Zhongyi just glanced at Sima Chongcheng coldly, and he was reluctant to even say hello, which really embarrassed Sima Chongcheng. Zhao Chengzong was a little surprised, and he didn't understand why Miyamoto Zhongyi was so alienated from Sima Chongcheng. In fact, it's no wonder that he reacted like this, who told Sima Chongcheng to despise others first?
"Alien countries, I'm afraid it's difficult to do anything. Sima Chongcheng said lightly to Zhao Chengzong.
"Don't misunderstand Sect Master Sima, the frightening wind is a person from Qiongzhou, Hainan, who has traveled east to Fusang since childhood to learn swordsmanship, tracing back to the source, and finally it is still my great Song people. Zhao Chengzong said in detail to Sima Chongcheng.
"My Central Plains martial arts is broad and profound, and I can't imagine that there are still people who want to go to Fusang to learn art, which is really incomprehensible. Sima Chongcheng said disdainfully.
Before the words fell, Ye Jingfeng suddenly got up and rushed out, and then glared at Sima Chongcheng fiercely, seeing that this posture was about to fight with him. Sima Chongcheng was not to be outdone, and stood in front of him with a cold and arrogant look, just waiting for him to let the horse come.
Zhao Chengzong didn't expect the two sides to be such a face-to-face at all, so he had to mediate and channel.
"Shocking, this Sima Sect Master is still the Lingzhen National Master canonized by the imperial court, so you must not be rude. Zhao Chengzong said with a formal face.
Sima Chongcheng immediately glanced at Ye Jingfeng proudly, as if he had gained a lot of upper hand.
"In the martial arts, I have always disdained to bend the knee to the court to ask for fame, although I studied the East, but the waist bone is still straight after all. Ye Jingfeng said bluntly.
As soon as these words came out, Sima Chongcheng suddenly felt that his face could not be hung up. First, people in the rivers and lakes really don't like to associate with the imperial court, but anyone who has an affair with the imperial court will be misinterpreted as clinging to power; second, he was canonized this time because the imperial court took the initiative to give it, and he never knelt down to ask for it as he said. But now I am still staring at the title of the imperial court, but isn't it justified that I can't explain it? Since I can't say it clearly, why bother to explain it again?
I saw Sima Chongcheng staring at Ye Jingfeng coldly, as if he was determined to teach him a lesson.
And Ye Jingfeng was already holding his hands on the hilt of the knife at this moment, just waiting for Sima Chongcheng to come over.
"The two of you are going to be angry, let's sit down and talk about it first. Zhao Chengzong hurriedly persuaded.
"Master Zhao, this person has insulted my skills today, and I will definitely convince him. Ye Jingfeng said angrily to Zhao Chengzong.
"Master Zhao, since this person lives in the mountain behind you, he must be a guest of your Yinglong Villa, and Poor Dao will definitely let him live. Sima Chongcheng said slowly.
But without waiting for Zhao Chengzong to answer, Ye Jingfeng already had a long knife in his hand and said, "Then let's see how you are doing?"
Zhao Chengzong saw that since he couldn't stop it, it was better to let them fight first, maybe this would be able to dissolve the misunderstanding between the two sides, so he thought about it, so he took a few steps back and watched silently with his hands crossed.
I saw that as soon as Ye Fengfeng's words were finished, he had already flashed towards Sima Chongcheng with an incomparably powerful force. "Overlord Chop" is one of Ye Feng's mastery, and as soon as it was hit, the wind in the valley suddenly became loud, and the branches and leaves also danced wildly.
Sima Chongcheng only felt that there was an incomparably sharp sword aura faintly wrapped in this strong wind, and he didn't dare to rush up to it, so he had to retreat in the air to avoid it.
But a harsh sound was heard, and a long mark appeared on the granite tiled on the ground. Sima Chongcheng looked at the ground in surprise, and then began to look at the Dongying warrior in front of him.
Ye Jingfeng saw that he missed a blow, and then attacked with a knife in a hurry. Sima Chongcheng didn't dare to slack off, but with a shock of true qi, the Taiji Longquan Sword was already in his hand.
As soon as Ye Jingfeng Fu approached Sima Chongcheng's side, he launched a series of extremely rapid attacks. Ye Jingfeng made his own double sword swordsmanship, whether it was a double flying whirlwind slash, or a fierce wind slash, they all used long knives to open the way sharply, and suddenly made up for the short knife when the previous sword move was not exhausted, which was naturally old and spicy and vicious. Sima Chongcheng fought in a short battle, although he completely eliminated Ye Fengfeng's attack, but he was also secretly surprised by his sword skills.
The two sides have been fighting each other for a short time, and they have already made more than ten moves against each other, although it is Ye Jingfeng's main attack and Sima Chongcheng is on the defensive, but no one can help anyone. After a few more moves, the two sides withdrew from this senseless confrontation.
Ye Jingfeng was also impressed by Sima Chongcheng at this moment, thinking that although this person attacked less and defended more, he could also deal with it calmly, and he was also a good kendo. Thinking of this, Ye Jingfeng came out with his two swords, his body shook slightly, and then he conjured up three or five identical Dongying warriors. Ye Jingfeng was in it, and there was no way to distinguish the authenticity.
I saw these three or five warriors intermingling with each other and rushing towards Sima Chongcheng at the same time. Where has Sima Chongcheng seen such a formation in his life, and he can only meet him with the Red Lotus Sword Technique. But as soon as Sima Chongcheng fought, he felt that the warrior in front of him was a phantom, and when he pierced the air with a sword, the other warriors took the opportunity to surround him. However, the Red Lotus swordsmanship is natural and exquisite, both offense and defense contain sword moves, and there is endless sword return ability, even if Sima Chongcheng misses a blow, he can still return to the front to fight the other two warriors. Ye Jingfeng secretly sighed that this old way swordsmanship was superb, but in the hand-to-hand encounter, he suddenly made a ghost round slash, and the three warriors suddenly disappeared without a trace under Sima Chongcheng's eyes.
Sima Chongcheng looked around with his sword, but he didn't see anyone, only when he closed his eyes and paid attention, did he notice that there was a sword aura attacking his head. Sima Chongcheng immediately turned over and volleyed into the air, stabbing Ye Fengfeng flying straight through Changhong with a move. The sound of swords suddenly sounded in the air, and when the two of them landed, the flying leaves in the sky had already blocked the view.
I saw Sima Chongcheng once again take out the Taiji Longquan Sword, and then struggled to pull it, and the fallen leaves in the air slowly froze. Ye Jingfeng was greatly amazed by this, but time stopped, such a strange scene was something he had never seen in his life. Zhao Chengzong on the side was watching with great interest, with the memory of the battle of Wuzhi Mountain that day, he could vaguely guess that Ye Jingfeng was going to suffer some hardships next.
Sure enough, Ye Jingfeng saw that the vision in front of him was strange, so he sacrificed the silver light cross slash, but when he raised the knife, he found that his limbs were numb as if they were bound, and his steps became slower and slower. Ye was frightened, but he felt that the chaotic leaves were flying, and this old way was also slowly attacking. Ye Jingfeng's heart tightened, and he was eager to use the Silver Light Cross Slash, but he found that his hands and feet were getting slower and slower, and he couldn't make any moves at all. On the other hand, although Sima Chongcheng was also slowly attacking, it was speeding up more and more.
I saw that among the infinite flying leaves, a silver sword blade stabbed straight over. Ye was shocked, but he suddenly shook and used ninjutsu to escape.
Sima Chongcheng pounced, and then retreated. At this point, the fallen leaves that were flying in the air fell down sharply. After the dust had completely settled, Sima Chongcheng saw Ye Jingfeng retreating in the corner of the stone mountain, looking at him with a look of surprise.
"Haha, I'm okay with this, right?" asked Sima Chongcheng proudly.
"You are clearly a witchcraft, not martial arts, if it is a real sword fight, I am afraid that there will be no chance for you to speak. Ye Jingfeng said contemptuously.
"The illusion you just used is not a real fight. Sima Chongcheng said disdainfully.
"Okay, then I don't use illusions, and you don't use witchcraft, we rely on the sword method to compete today. Ye Jingfeng said.
"Good!" Sima Chongcheng replied briskly.
Before he finished speaking, Sima Chongcheng had already raised his sword and attacked Ye Jingfeng, and Ye Jingfeng also raised his long knife again to meet him. The two of them fought again with swords in the clearing. After the duel just now, Ye Jingfeng already knew that this Taoist was good at martial arts, and he was cautious, in addition to being as old and vicious as ever, the double swords were seamless in every move, especially the combination of the windward slash and the nine consecutive stabs of the wind, which was dazzling.
Sima Chongcheng faced such a rapid offensive at once, but he was also a little in a hurry, so he had to fight and retreat. However, Ye Jingfeng's offensive had no intention of retreating, but had the intention of becoming more and more courageous. If this continues, Sima Chongcheng will have to fall behind.
I saw Sima Chongcheng fight back with his sword after parrying, as if he didn't care about Ye's surging sword moves. Ye Jingfeng couldn't help but feel proud, and sped up his moves again and again, wanting to end the battle with one move.
But as soon as Ye Jingfeng took over with Sima Chongcheng, he regretted it. Because he found that the move he attacked actually split the sword stabbed by Sima Chongcheng into two ways, and these two long swords were endlessly stabbed straight over, without any intention of stopping.
Ye Jingfeng could only draw his knife to block back and forth, and finally turned away this stabbing long sword. But Ye Jingfeng's sword this time stopped his attack, and Sima Chongcheng was already close to his sword like a wind at this moment. I saw that Sima Chongcheng's swordsmanship was erratic, every move was fast and weird and changeable, Ye Jingfeng could only disassemble it back and forth, but he couldn't break this style of sword move.
Seeing that Ye Jingfeng was gradually falling, Sima Chongcheng accelerated the pace of his attack, and the long sword in his hand also turned into thousands of ghosts, trapping Ye Jingfeng in the sword formation. Ye Jingfeng only felt that the other party's swordsmanship was omnipresent, and even if he exhausted what he had learned, he could only cope with it.
Ye Jingfeng was naturally unwilling to fail, but in the middle of the block, he used a short blade to hit a whirlwind slash. Zhao Chengzong on the side couldn't help but be surprised, because the whirlwind slash he had seen was hit with a long knife, the blade was vigorous, the sword qi flowed, and it could sweep all the way through the grass and trees. Now this short blade can also be punched, but I don't know how powerful it is?
As soon as Ye Jingfeng Fu hit the whirlwind slash, there was a burst of sharp sword qi swirling, although it was not as powerful as the long blade, but it was faster and more sensitive. As soon as Sima Chongcheng's sword move touched this swirling sword qi, the offensive line was deflected. Ye Jingfeng retreated in a hurry, and then withdrew from the heavily surrounded sword array, and stood outside Zhang Yu with sweating profusely.
Sima Chongcheng was attacked too tightly before, and now a wandering sword qi was born in vain, but he also secretly shouted that it was not good, and only by teasing this sword qi could it be dissolved. If Ye Jingfeng did not withdraw at this moment, but made up for it, Sima Chongcheng would be in danger. All of this is naturally in Ye Jingfeng's eyes, and when he sees that he has lost a great opportunity, he can't help but regret it a little.
"Old Dao, didn't you say that you don't use witchcraft, why do you still use it?" Ye Jingfeng said angrily.
"I'm not a witchcraft! this is a splitting sword move, and you're too ignorant, right?"
"I don't care what you do, and try the power of my Silver Cross Slash. Ye Jingfeng said, and he stabbed his two knives, and the open space suddenly overflowed with sword energy.
Sima Chongcheng was shocked, it was the first time he had seen such a strong sword qi. I saw Ye Jingfeng swing his two swords, and the two sword qi, one long and one short, crossed back and forth, and there was a crisp sound in the mountain, which was precisely caused by this sword qi cutting through the sky.
Sima Chongcheng raised the long sword in his hand, but found that he had no way to start at all, because the sword qi generated by this silver light cross slash appeared and disappeared from time to time, alternating between strength and weakness, which was really elusive. But what's worse is that Ye Jingfeng has been following in a hurry with two knives at this moment. Sima Chongcheng had to react immediately, otherwise he would have to die under this fierce sword aura.
I saw Sima Chongcheng suddenly flying with a horizontal sword in the air, and in an instant, there were red lotuses blooming in time and space, but they were whirling towards Ye Jingfeng Silver Light Cross Slash. Zhao Chengzong couldn't help but look at the open space with wide eyes, he was very eager to know what kind of scene was after the duel between these two big killing moves.
But seeing the dust in the clearing, Sima Chongcheng and Ye Jingfeng were suddenly submerged in the dust. Only a crisp sound was heard, and there was no other breath in the smoke and dust.
It wasn't until the dust slowly drifted down that Zhao Chengzong saw everything clearly: he saw that the two of them were both broken, and they both looked at each other in shock. Ye Jingfeng had six or seven bright red sword marks on his body, and Sima Chongcheng's abdomen was also tangent by a short blade, and there were shallow blood stains on his chest and feet.
Zhao Chengzong rushed over anxiously, he didn't want these two to lose anything.
"Your Excellency's sword skills are outstanding, I have never seen it in my life, and I admire it!" Sima Chongcheng said silently.
It turned out that in the last duel just now, Sima Chongcheng stabbed Ye Jingfeng with the Red Lotus Nirvana and stabbed Ye Jingfeng with six swords, and Ye Jingfeng slashed at the silver light cross at the same time in the middle sword, breaking Sima Chongcheng's killing move in one fell swoop, and took the opportunity to quickly draw two swords. Sima Chongcheng tried his best to separate each other, and there was a scene where the weapons of the two were broken. It's just that although Ye Jingfeng's long knife was broken, the short blade was still there, so Sima Chongcheng was hit by this knife alive.
"Why did the Dao Leader hit me with two sword qi and stab me in the abdomen and still didn't see any major problems?" Ye Jingfeng asked in surprise.
"Shocking wind, this is the Sima Sect Master's unlearned return to the Yuan Dafa, if it weren't for your profound attainments, you wouldn't be able to hurt him at all. Zhao Chengzong said.
"The Taoist can't help but have exquisite swordsmanship, and the cultivation of the inner family also opened my eyes, and I admire it!" Ye Jingfeng said excitedly.
"The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, one of you is the first in swordsmanship, the other is the first in swordsmanship, all of you are immortal talents, why don't you sympathize with each other?" Zhao Chengzong also said excitedly.
"I bumped into the Dao Chief, and I ask the Dao Chief's forgiveness!" Ye Jingfeng immediately said sincerely.
"Haha, what did Mr. Ye say? It is a blessing to be able to get to Mr. Ye today. Sima Chongcheng also said in harmony.
Seeing that the two were reconciled, the happiest was Zhao Chengzong. Zhao Chengzong then told his plan in front of the two of them, but Sima Chongcheng smiled when he heard it, nodded frequently, and then thanked Ye Jingfeng for his work.
