Chapter 8: Clouds surging in all directions (four)

Two more days passed, and tomorrow is the ceremony of the Hengshan Sect's throne. There are more and more people gathered in Hengshan City. Originally, there were some Hengshan disciples in Hengshan City to maintain order or receive guests. However, from yesterday, all Hengshan disciples retreated to Hengshan, and even the welcome disciples were left at the mountain gate. The disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were all taken to Hengshan, among which Huashan and Taishan Mountain were more crowded. The Hengshan Sect had a long way to go, and only seven or eight young nuns led to Hengshan by Dingjing and Master Dingyi. The Songshan Sect did not come, but many people said that they had seen a large number of Songshan disciples on the way, but they didn't know where these people had hidden.

Linghu Chong fought with fifteen masters that day, and suffered some external injuries to swords. In order not to lose face to the Huashan Sect, he found a secluded place in the countryside. He was about to raise him for two days before hurried to Hengshan. Linghu Chong is a star disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Few of the disciples of the Five Mountains did not know him. Moreover, he is now the deputy head of the Huashan Sect. His identity is different from the past. He reported his identity at the Hengshan Sect Gate, and two Hengshan disciples led Linghu Chong up the mountain and sent him to the place where the Huashan Sect disciples lived.

When Linghu Chong saw that all the junior brothers were gathered in the small yard to practice swords themselves, he couldn't help but nod in his heart.

When everyone saw Linghu Chong coming, they stopped and clasped their fists and said, "Hello, Senior Brother!"

Linghu Chong also said: "Hello, junior brothers, you can continue practicing swords. If you have any doubts, I will tell you later."

Everyone was excited. Everyone fought side by side with Linghu Chong for several years and admired Linghu Chong's magical sword skills. Every Huashan disciple who received Linghu Chong's guidance has improved his sword skills. In particular, Lu Dayou, who has the best relationship with Linghu Chong, often received tips and teachings from Linghu Chong. Now his sword skills are elegant and agile, and include speed and ruthlessness. His sword skills are so high that he chases Luo Denuo and Liang Fa. He is one of the three recognized masters of swordsmanship among the second-generation disciples of the Huashan Sect. In addition to Linghu Chong, he is recognized as one of the three masters of swordsmanship.

The leaders of Liang Fa, Shi Daizi, and Lu Dayou gathered in Liang Fa's house. When they heard the sound outside, they pushed the door out. They saw that Linghu Chong had arrived, and they were very happy and led Linghu Chong into the house.

Lu Dayou first asked: "Senior Brother, have you come with the master? Where is the master? Tomorrow is the Hengshan School’s throne ceremony, why haven’t the master yet?"

Linghu Chong shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the master suddenly left and told me to come to Hengshan myself. Maybe he has something else to do, but the master must know it. We don't need to worry too much." Linghu Chong's martial arts are no longer the same as before. When he fought alone in fifteen black-clad masters that day, he felt four or five gazes on the mountain, four of which contained evil thoughts, one was extremely familiar. It must be the master Yue Buqun. He knew that the master was also facing a strong enemy. If he stayed, it was hard to guarantee that he would not cause trouble for Yue Buqun. Therefore, Linghu Chong retreated immediately without nostalgia. Otherwise, he would have lost his long sword, and with Linghu Chong's current sword technique, a steel knife in his hand would be enough to kill several more people.

Liang Fa also nodded and said, "Master, he is very knowledgeable in martial arts, so we really don't have to worry about it. Maybe some trivial matters have just tripped the master." Linghu Chong nodded.

At this time, Lu Dayou said mysteriously: "Senior Brother, it seems that something happened to Hengshan Sect. From yesterday to now, there has been a tide on Hengshan Mountain, and everyone is nervous. I went to ask Bai Jin, but he was vague and didn't say anything."

Linghu Chong knew that Lu Dayou had always spoken a little exaggeratedly, so he couldn't help but look at the more steady Liang Fa and Shi Daizi. As a result, both of them nodded. Liang Fa said: "The sixth junior brother said it is good. Hengshan disciples guarded all the important roads up and down the mountain. The entire Hengshan Sect was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so I recalled all the disciples to tell them not to cause trouble."

Lu Dayou was so angry: "Our Five Mountains Sword Sect is in unison. What is the Hengshan Sect that cannot be said? If something happens to them, just say it, can our Huashan Sect stand by and watch?"

Shi Daizi smiled and said, "We didn't take the initiative to propose, why would the Hengshan Sect come to ask for it first? Moreover, we are a little lower in martial arts after all, and we don't have a strong hand to take charge. We don't have the confidence to help the Hengshan Sect. You didn't see that the Hengshan Sect asked Master Dingyi to preside over the order of Hengshan City. I hope there is no trouble at the foot of the mountain."

Lu Dayou said: "This is the case, but now that the senior brother has arrived, we will have a tough hand."

Liang Fa also said: "This is true. Senior Brother and Junior Brother Lin of Hengshan Sect have a close relationship. You can pass on the attitude of our Huashan Sect through Junior Brother Lin."

Linghu Chong nodded, and saw that his junior brothers were polite and manners, and he did not lose the character of the Huashan Sect or the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect. Especially Liang Fa had the potential to stand alone, he was quite happy and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go and talk to Lin Pingzhi." After that, he got up and left the courtyard. He stood at the door for a moment. A disciple of Hengshan came up to ask. After Linghu Chong said that he wanted to see Lin Pingzhi, he was taken to a side hall.

When he entered the door, he saw Song Jin sending Chi Baicheng, the head of the Taishan Sect, out. He nodded to the two and greeted them. Linghu Chong entered the side hall and saw Lin Pingzhi sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a tired face, and there was no one else in the room.

When Linghu Chong entered the door, Lin Pingzhi heard the sound. He thought it was Song Jin who came back. He looked up and saw that it was Linghu Chong. He couldn't help asking, "You are here, come today? I heard that you have trouble with a few black-clothed masters. I don't know what the result of the battle?" Then he looked up and down Linghu Chong, moved his nose, and said, "It seems that you have also suffered some injuries from swords. I think those people have good skills."

Linghu Chong was a little amazed and said, "Hengshan City has been operated by Hengshan Sect for hundreds of years. As expected, it is extremely well-informed. It seems that our Huashan Sect will work hard to return."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Is Huayin County?"

"Yes!" Linghu Chong nodded.

After a while, Linghu Chong asked again: "I went up the mountain today and saw Hengshan disciples wandering around. If there is a place in need of help, I don't have to be polite to our Huashan Sect."

Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "This is what Liang Fa and Lu Dayou told you. We did not arrange for disciples to patrol on the road up the mountain. How could those who want to be enemies with us take the main road?"

Linghu Chong's face turned slightly red and he nodded.

Lin Pingzhi said again: "We are grateful for your feelings, and we are currently in need of manpower. Chi Baicheng is the same as the one who came here just now. Originally, my master wanted to talk to him, but unfortunately, Master Yue had not arrived yet, and other things happened in the sect. I could only discuss with Chi Baicheng after the ceremony of passing on the throne."

Linghu Chong also reacted and asked, "What's going on with Master Tianmen?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, there is also the matter of being the head of the Taishan Sect."

Linghu Chong was silent for a moment before saying, "If there is nothing else, then I will go back first."

Lin Pingzhi showed a smiley expression again, and asked Linghu Chong with his eyes, "Don't you want to know what's wrong?"

Linghu Chong shook his head and said, "I think it's certainly, but if it involves the Hengshan School secret, it's certainly not convenient for me to ask. I guess you have the same thing, and I do the same."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "This is what you are different from mine. If I meet you, of course I will ask you the bottom line, no matter what confidentiality you are or not."

Linghu Chong's face turned dark and he sighed inadvertently about making friends.

Lin Pingzhi said: "It's okay to tell you, otherwise you will guess it when you meet tomorrow." Then, Lin Pingzhi said: "Yesterday, I made an appointment with Senior Brother Song Jin to pick up Senior Brother Xiaofeng out of seclusion, but when I arrived at the place, I found two men in black who had touched Zhurongfeng for some reason and besieged Senior Brother Xiaofeng at the entrance of the cave. It seems that Senior Brother Xiaofeng has resisted for a long time. If it weren't for the advantage of the territory, I'm afraid he would have already said."

Linghu Chong was shocked and asked quickly: "Senior Brother Xiaofeng is okay?"

Lin Pingzhi shook his head and said, "It's nothing big, I just lost some energy. Those two guys are specifically dealing with Senior Brother Xiaofeng. The knife specifically greets the head and face. Senior Brother Xiaofeng has worked hard to block it, and it's okay to have a face. However, he has been hit twice in his hand. It's hard to guarantee that people will not see the bandage on his arm when he takes over the position tomorrow."

Linghu Chong asked again: "Are those two people holding them?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "I deal with the one who was beaten by me and finally bit the poison pill in my mouth and died. Senior Brother Song Jin saw that the situation was not good, he actually threw several thunderbolt bullets at us, and then used the hook rope to try to go down the peak, but I cut the hook rope and fell off the cliff. I don't know if it's dead or alive."

Linghu Chong raised his eyebrows, immediately figured it out, and said, "These people were deliberately destroying this ceremony of throne transmission and did not want Master Mo to pass the throne down."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "We didn't expect that there would be a disfigurement before, so they had the opportunity to take advantage of it. Now the defenses on the mountain are like iron-clad. Senior Brother Xiaofeng has two uncles taking care of him, but they missed the only opportunity. Fortunately, these two people are not very professional, and the consequences are unimaginable."

Linghu Chong was stunned and asked, "This is not professional? Use a hook rope to climb Zhurong Peak, there are poison pills and thunder bullets. Such a formation is enough to assassinate the emperor, right?"

Lin Pingzhi looked at Linghu Chong and asked back, "If you use the time to use the opportunity to fight with Senior Brother Xiaofeng, throw it out directly in the face, or spray it with a spray gun, isn't that better than scratching the face with a knife?"
