Chapter 103 The Seven Star Sword Appears
The next day, Lian Fengtong prayed to heaven in accordance with Pu Zhongyi's wishes, and made a grand puja for the Seven Star Sword, and the people heard about it and rushed to tell each other. People from all factions who first arrived in Yunzhou went to watch when they heard the news, and Qiu Qiu Jill dressed in men's clothes and brought four major women to the crowd. I saw that the road on both sides had already been blocked by officers and soldiers, and after the gongs and drums sounded, the little general Lian Xiaochong opened the road in front of him with a heroic spirit, and the heavy soldiers behind him came in a large car, and the seven-star sword was placed among the flowers on the car. There were dozens of Taoist priests and monks on both sides of the car. Zheng Damu was about to make a move, but Qiu Qiu Jill stopped him and said: "Don't make a mistake, which is false and real, so as not to fall into the annihilation plan, and watch the movement." I saw the chariots and horses coming to the roof of the sacrifice, and Lian Fengtong and Pu Zhongyi were already waiting there. The carriage stopped, and Pu Zhongyi personally got into the car and took down the sword in front of Lian Fengtong and handed it to him, and Lian Fengtong held the sword and sent it to the rooftop. The monks chanted the Buddha around the altar, and the Taoist priests prayed to the heavens. In the evening, when the puja ended, Lian Fengtong ordered Lian Xiaochong to lead the warriors to guard the altar to prevent thieves from coming to steal the treasure.
When Qiu Qiu Gil and the others returned to the inn, Yu Lixiao asked, "Qiu Qiu Fairy, are we going to take the sword tonight?" Qiu Qiu Gil shook his hand and said: "Pu Zhongyi is scheming, I don't think it's so simple, let's take a look." After the words fell, Cao Xuan and Liu Zhengyang walked in and saluted: "Sect Master, there is movement over there, it looks like there is going to be action tonight." Qiu Jill smiled: "This is the best, we will use them to throw stones and ask for directions, if it succeeds, we will have another praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches." And they saluted. The sky was deep, a group of black-clothed people quietly sneaked into the military plane, and went straight to the location of the seven-star sword, the black-clothed people got the sword smoothly all the way, and no one stopped them halfway, the black-clothed people were puzzled so they opened the sword to distinguish the true from the fake, but unexpectedly, a burst of white gas rushed out of the sword, and then looked at it, there were officers and soldiers everywhere, Lian Xiaochong stood between the people and laughed: "Everyone, our military advisor has been waiting for a long time." He ordered someone to step forward, unload the weapon of the man in black, and bind him to the hall. Lian Fengtong and Pu Zhongyi waited there early, and Pu Zhongyi ordered: "Take off their masks." The guard commander approached and took off the masks of the black-clothed men, and Lian Fengtong and Xiaochong were taken aback when they saw it. Feng Tong said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, why are you also rushing to the sword?" Sa Yuanshan said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say." Feng Tong said distressedly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are so confused." Xiao Chong hurriedly walked to Sa Yuanshan's side and asked, "Uncle, is Su'er also coming to Yunzhou?" Sa Yuanshan nodded. Xiao Chong was excited when he heard this, but he didn't see the loss that flashed in the eyes of Pu Zhongyi on the side. For three consecutive days, people from all walks of life ventured into Chongdi to seize the sword, but they were all captured alive on the spot, including the disciples of the five sects and eighty-one factions. Seeing that the time was ripe, Pu Zhongyi instructed the sergeant to send a message to the various sects and ask them to come and recognize them. One of the four major women, the ugly one, came back from outside and saluted Qiu Jill and said, "Qiu Qiu Fairy, as you expected, these rice buckets were really imprisoned in the army. Qiu Jill sneered: "This Pu Zhongyi is very difficult to deal with, I expect that these few Lian Fengtong will send sergeants to escort the sword into Beijing, you should pay more attention." Everyone agreed. Qiu Qiu Jill summoned Diao Yunchi and Cao Xuan and ordered: "Yunzhou is too calm recently, you go to the Turks for a walk, send my greetings, and let them come to take care of Yunzhou." The two agreed to leave;
