The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1857 Brother, you can't be hypocritical.

Just when Feng Jiuxiao wanted to go over to check whether the crocodile was alive or dead, a figure in the distance came flying over along the water like a big bird!

The figure was as fast as a flying wild goose and was thirty feet away in an instant. He was dressed in black and had two swords hanging from his waist. Who else could it be but Pang Shiwu?

"What are you doing here?" Feng Jiuxiao's voice was not loud, but Pang Shiwu heard it clearly!

"I'm here to give a tip-off!" Pang Shiwu arrived in front of Feng Jiuxiao in two jumps!

When his body was about to rush to Feng Jiuxiao, he realized that the broken boat that was supposed to be under Feng Jiuxiao's feet was gone!

He was stunned for a moment. Where would he go if the boat was gone? !

He performed the dragonfly skimming the water technique by holding a breath of true energy. It was okay if the distance was short, but this time the distance was a bit long, so it was relatively uncomfortable to hold his breath!

He quickly glanced around and fortunately saw some broken wood boards floating on the lake, so he quickly rushed over!

The moment he stepped on a wooden board, he breathed a sigh of relief!

He was not afraid of drowning, as he was actually quite good at swimming. What he was worried about was that if he could no longer stand on the water, he would fall into the water, and his clothes would get soaked, making him look very embarrassed!

Now that he was somewhat famous in the martial world, how could he accept being seen as a drowned rat by those people from the Qingcheng Sect?

Even if I use my inner strength to quickly dry the water off my body, there are a lot of impurities in the lake water, and the stains left on my clothes cannot evaporate. The old veterans of Qingcheng Sect will be able to tell at a glance that I fell into the water! Fortunately, I didn't fall in!

"Brother, the leader of Qingcheng Sect, Yu Qingzi, is here, bringing with him a few Taoists. They are probably his fellow apprentices, or possibly his nephews! They came all the way here to find you! Yu Qingzi also asked me to tell you that this thousand-year-old alligator dragon is the one you released into the Yangtze River that year!"

"What? Impossible? It's only been a few years. Two years? Its size has doubled?"

"Why is this impossible? Don't you always say that everything is possible?"

"Damn! You're waiting for me here, right? Brat! I mean, this is too against the laws of nature! Back then, the Four Beauties of Qingcheng said that this crocodile dragon had lived for thousands of years before it grew to five zhang! Assuming that this crocodile dragon lived for at least a thousand years, and grew five zhang in a thousand years, then it would grow one zhang every two hundred years, right? Based on this speculation, if it wants to grow to the current ten zhang, it will need at least five more two hundred years, which means another thousand years! But now, its growth in the past two years has exceeded the progress of the previous thousand years. Is this normal?"

"Who cares if it's normal or not! Taoist Master Yu Qingzi also said that the reason why this crocodile suddenly changed its temperament and became bloodthirsty is most likely related to the Tang Sect!"

"Tang Sect? Tang Sect in Shu?"

"Yeah, you haven't forgotten that little Third Young Master Tang, right?"

"You haven't forgotten? The reason he fought with the Four Beauties of Qingcheng was because of this alligator dragon!"

"Did you later sign Tang Jue into your indentured slave?"

"Yes, I remember this. I can forget other things, but how can I forget this?"

"Because you took Tang Jue as your slave, old Master Tang San was furious and decided to avenge his son! He led the crocodile dragon into Cuiyue Lake! He said it was killing two birds with one stone. First of all, this is the territory of Qingcheng Sect. In order to maintain its reputation as a chivalrous sect, Qingcheng Sect will definitely send people to deal with the water monster and eliminate harm to the people, thus throwing the blame on Qingcheng Sect. Secondly, you are well-known for your chivalry. As long as you pass by this place, you will definitely be alarmed by the crocodile dragon and will definitely not stand idly by! In this way, Tang San's two groups of enemies were successfully led into Cuiyue Lake. Even if they can't become food for the crocodile dragon, their fate is probably not much better!"

"Heh! He really knows our temperaments very well, huh? Pretty impressive, this old Tang San, damn it!"

Pang Shiwu said: "That old guy is really sinister!"

Feng Jiuxiao sneered, "Humph! He is really insidious, but if he really thinks he is smart, he is totally wrong! I seriously suspect that his brain is rusty! His own son is my indentured slave, I have the power of life and death over his son, I can make his son disappear into ashes in a single thought, he actually dares to deal with me, doesn't he consider the consequences?"

"I guess Old Master Tang San doesn't even understand what a blood contract is! He doesn't know the true power of a blood contract! He probably thinks that you and his son are thousands of miles apart, and you can't do anything to him!"

Feng Jiuxiao's face suddenly darkened, he closed his eyes, and entered the deepest part of his mind! He was going to start summoning Tang Jue!

In a small courtyard in Tang Family Villa hundreds of miles away, a young man and a young girl were lying on a rattan chair under the grape vines in the courtyard. The man was teasing the girl with a bunch of grapes, and it seemed that he was feeding her. As soon as the girl opened her mouth, the man moved the grapes away. She turned her head away in anger and refused to eat. But as soon as she turned her head, the bunch of grapes came to her mouth again and kept touching her lips. This made her angry and she grabbed the man's ear and twisted it. The man quickly laughed and begged for mercy. The two were playing and playing with each other, and the man suddenly felt a pain in his heart!

This pain feels very strange, it is definitely not ordinary pain!

It was as if an invisible hand was slowly squeezing my heart, and it was still constantly gaining strength...

The young master's expression changed, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes, "Oh no! He is calling me!"

Seeing the young man's pale face, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness, the girl immediately lost her previous coquettish expression and said nervously, "Who is it?"

"Don't ask! He would never call me if nothing happened! Something big must have happened! I have to see him right away, otherwise I will die here today!" He put on his gown and rushed to the stable in a hurry!

The girl was left alone, disheveled in the wind...

Tang Jue was riding a horse, whipping the horse's butt constantly, fearing that the horse would run too slowly!

Who could have imagined that I, who seemed to be so successful, would become the indentured slave of the young man in white?

Fortunately, the young man is not stupid and doesn't make fun of me for no reason, which makes me live a more carefree life...

Feng Jiuxiao said: "If this crocodile dragon is the same one from that year, then I will have to ask Tang Jue about it! If it was the Tang family who did something to change the crocodile dragon's temperament, then the culprit is naturally the Tang family! Kill the crocodile dragon first, then kill Tang San!"

He moved the wooden board under his feet and stopped it on the crocodile. The crocodile was hovering ten feet below the water surface, motionless.

Feng Jiuxiao carefully sensed the crocodile's life breath, "Well, it still has a heartbeat! It must have fainted! Let's go back first! It's a pity for this crocodile!"

The reason why it's a pity is that this alligator was originally living well in the Yangtze River, but just because it lived for a thousand years, it became the target of hunting by humans!

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

Feng Jiuxiao felt very uncomfortable when he thought that this crocodile was the one he released that year!

Pang Shiwu said, "I can't fly on the water, I'll go first!" He stepped on the water and flew away, like a big bird flying close to the ground!

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Wait for me. When I came here, I used the broken boat to find the water monster. Who needs a broken boat and wooden boards when I go back? Hey, you are still running and not waiting for me, right? Good boy!" He immediately exerted force with both feet and rushed out like an arrow!

Pang Shiwu was trying his best to run when he suddenly felt a figure passing by him as fast as lightning!

Damn, so fast?

The wind created by Feng Jiuxiao's passing lifted up Pang Shiwu's clothes!

So fast? That's a bit too much!

When Pang Shiwu rushed to the shore, Feng Jiuxiao was already talking to Yu Qingzi and others!

Yu Qingzi was talking to Feng Jiuxiao: "It is such an honor to be able to see the elegance of the leader of the Mountain Alliance today!"

Feng Jiuxiao said self-deprecatingly: "Master, please don't mention the Mountain Alliance anymore. The Mountain Alliance has been disbanded now. I am not the leader of the alliance anymore!"

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "You only dissolved the Mountain Alliance in form, but for my Qingcheng Sect, the Mountain Alliance will always exist in our hearts, and the leader of the Mountain Alliance will always be you, Young Master Feng! As long as the leader is in trouble, we will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!"

Yu Qingzi's speech was not passionate nor did he make any grand speeches, but was very simple and sincere, which moved Feng Jiuxiao very much!

He knew that this was the result of the good deeds he had done in the past!

I have saved the lives of Qingcheng disciples many times, so they are very grateful to me!

Big Wolf and Zeng Yong were also somewhat moved!

They have been around for a long time and their hearts have become as hard as stone, but they are still very moved today!

The people of Qingcheng are really sentimental and grateful!

"Young Master Feng, why don't we condescend to our Qingcheng for a chat? The people of Qingcheng have already prepared beds for you to enjoy!"

A Qingcheng Taoist at the back laughed and said, "It's been quite a while. We've been waiting for almost a year!"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately burst into laughter, "Really? It's such an honor, thank you so much! Taoist priest, please wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Are you going to pick up Miss Yuan, young man?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled calmly and said, "That's right!"

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "I will go with you!"

"How can this be so embarrassing? Taoist priest has already walked a lot of detours today! If I go again, I will have walked this route four times today!"

"Young man, you are wrong! How can you call it a wasted journey? I have survived a whole year, so why would I care about a journey of just a few dozen miles?"

"Alas, I am ashamed to accept this, and it would be disrespectful to refuse it. Then I will just follow the host's wishes!"

"please!"

"please!"

……

The mountain path is winding, and the bluestone steps are looming in the mountain mist. Everyone seems to be on the road to fairyland!

Feng Jiuxiao followed behind Yu Qingzi and walked up slowly! The others followed slowly behind!

Amidst the clouds and mist, Yu Qingzi was seen walking lightly with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if his feet were not touching the ground, like an immortal from another world!

"Mount Qingcheng has been a Taoist holy land since ancient times. Zhang Daoling, also known as Zhang Tianshi, once practiced here and left behind many relics." Yu Qingzi's voice was clear and carried a bit of pride.

He pointed to a steep cliff across the valley and said, "Look, everyone, that's the 'Tianshi Cave'. Legend has it that Tianshi Zhang once spent three years in seclusion here and realized the 'Five Thunders Law'!"

Feng Jiuxiao looked up and saw a natural cave on the mountain wall. There were vines hanging from the cave entrance, and some simple runes could be vaguely seen engraved on the stone wall inside the cave. He was moved and asked, "I heard that there are many cliff carvings in Qingcheng Mountain. I wonder if we can see them on the way?" Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Of course we can see them! There is a 'Qingcheng Stone Carving' not far ahead, which was left by the Tang Dynasty monk Master Jianzhen."

He led the crowd around a bend, and indeed they saw lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting carved on the mountain wall. Although eroded by wind and rain, they were still faintly discernible. Feng Jiuxiao looked carefully and saw the words written on the stone: "Qingcheng is the most secluded place in the world, and you can cultivate Taoism in this mountain." The handwriting was simple and profound.

Zeng Yong said: "This kind of Feng Shui treasure land seems to have no affinity with Buddhism after all, so there is not even a Buddhist temple on this mountain!"

Yu Qingzi said: "In fact, Buddhism flourished here during the Tang Dynasty, and there were many temples! However, after Huang Chao destroyed the Tang Dynasty, he destroyed Buddhism on a large scale. After the Five Dynasties, this place gradually became a Taoist holy land."

Pang Shiwu said, "I was wondering why this Master Jianzhen doesn't sound like a Taoist name. It turns out he is actually a monk!"

Yu Qingzi said: "Master Jianzhen can be said to be one of the most famous Buddhist monks of the Vinaya School in the Tang Dynasty. He once traveled to the island of Fusang to spread Buddhism. His footprints are almost all over the famous mountains in the Central Plains. Qingcheng Mountain is just one of the places he has traveled to or stayed for a short time. Apart from the stone carvings, I haven't found any more relics about him!"

Feng Jiuxiao sighed: "Qingcheng Mountain has both the tranquility of Taoism and the compassion of Buddhism, but in the final analysis, it is still the most suitable place for Taoist practice."

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "Otherwise, how can it be said that Qingcheng is both one of the five great immortal mountains and one of the ten great caves!"

The group continued to move forward. On both sides of the mountain road, ancient trees stood tall, their branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the sun. Occasionally, a few birds chirped from the forest, clear and pleasant. Yu Qingzi pointed to a stone pavilion in front and said, "That is the 'Wangxian Pavilion'. It is said that Li Bai once drank and wrote poems here, leaving behind the famous line 'Bai Suzhen, who has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, has turned into a human form'."

Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Li Bai's bold style of poetry complements the tranquility of Qingcheng Mountain." He walked into the pavilion and saw a chessboard carved on the stone table inside the pavilion, with black and white chess pieces arranged in an orderly manner, as if someone had just played chess here. Yu Qingzi explained: "This is the 'immortal chess game'. Legend has it that two immortals played chess here. The game lasted for a hundred years and eventually turned into a chess game on this stone table."

Feng Jiuxiao thought to himself: The world is like a game of chess, each game is new! This game has been going on for a hundred years, with swords flashing and sabers flashing, and I don’t know how many murderous intentions are hidden!

Zeng Yong thought to himself: A game of chess has been played for a hundred years. The chess player must be really addicted!

Pang Shiwu thought to himself: A game of chess can actually take a hundred years to play, this is too damn time-consuming!

Big Wolf thought: The chess game from a hundred years ago, the chessboard has all turned to stone, but where is the man? Why is there no trace of a skull or dry bones nearby?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they all listened attentively, and sighed at the mystery and longevity of Mount Qingcheng. As they were talking, suddenly a mountain breeze blew by, bringing a burst of fragrance.

Yu Qingzi smiled and said, "The Qingcheng Medicine Garden is in front of us, where many rare medicinal herbs are grown. The Qingcheng Sect's successive leaders are all proficient in medicine, and this medicine garden is one of our foundations."

Feng Jiuxiao nodded and praised: "The Qingcheng Sect is indeed very profound. No wonder it can stand firm in troubled times." He looked up and saw that the medicine garden was full of exotic flowers and herbs, and the fragrance was fragrant. Several Qingcheng disciples were busy in the garden. When they saw Yu Qingzi coming, they all saluted.

Yu Qingzi waved his hand, signaling them to continue working, and then said to Feng Jiuxiao: "Mr. Feng, the gate of Qingcheng Sect is not far ahead. We will be there soon."

Feng Jiuxiao nodded and said, "Yes, okay."

As they continued to move forward, the mountain path gradually became flatter. In the distance, a towering mountain gate could be vaguely seen. On the gate lintel were three large characters "Qingcheng Sect" engraved with powerful strokes and extraordinary momentum. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the mountain gate, casting a golden glow, as if to coat this ancient sect with a layer of sacred glory.

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly asked: "Master, how far is the Tang Sect from our Qingcheng Mountain?"

Yu Qingzi was startled. He didn't expect Feng Jiuxiao to suddenly ask this. He pondered for a moment and said, "About 700 miles."

Feng Jiuxiao thought for a moment and said, "Generally, the fastest horse can only travel 800 kilometers a day. It would take at least six or seven hours to get here from Tang's house without stopping. It's not even 9 o'clock yet, so I estimate he can arrive around 11 o'clock!"

Yu Qingzi was a little confused, "Who is it? Do you have any friends coming?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "It's not a friend, it's Young Master Tang San!"

Yu Qingzi was shocked, "Young Master Tang San? Why is he here? How did you know about this, young hero?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "I notified him to come!"

Yu Qingzi was startled, then he understood! I remember someone mentioned that Tang Jue was defeated by Feng Jiuxiao in the battle of the Yangtze River, so he became Feng Jiuxiao's indentured slave!

Yu Qingzi was suddenly filled with emotion!

The "Blood Contract Signer" in the legend has always been an unsolved mystery for him! Although his fighting ability is not low, he has not yet figured out the secret of the "Blood Contract Signer"!

Of course, some people say that the so-called "blood pact" is a kind of chronic poison, which will control the other party after taking it!

But Yu Qingzi knew that the despicable method of using poison to threaten others was not worthy of being compared with a real blood contract!

Yu Qingzi once thought that the blood covenant was a kind of mysterious witchcraft similar to the Miaojiang poison! It could control a person's mind and body from a distance! It had almost nothing to do with martial arts and poison!

Of course, some people use drugs, and some people use acupuncture, but these are just means of signing a blood contract!

There are many people who know how to do acupuncture with golden needles, but only a few can sign a blood contract with the technique!

why?

I also know how to do acupuncture with golden needles!

One injection can clear the tendons and activate blood circulation, or it can relieve blood blockage!

But even if I pierce all the acupuncture points on the other person's body, that person will not be truly controlled by me! At most, he will be paralyzed by me!

The real blood contract with acupuncture is to "plant" one's own "consciousness" in the other party's body or mind through some secret method. In other words, the spirit and body of the contract slave are completely under the control of the contract master. The contract master can turn the contract slave into ashes in a moment! Compared with the blood contract, the so-called "I won't give you the antidote if you don't obey" is nothing more than a game between children. It's too low-end!

There is also an isolated little world where Yu Qingzi is also "loved but cannot be obtained"!

Like most people in the world, he had no choice but to accept the cruel reality!

That is: Blood Pact and Isolation of Small World are the two most maddening skills in the world!

The so-called special is that almost everyone knows that these two martial arts have great lethality, and everyone knows that these two martial arts are not difficult to practice, but, but, there are so many martial arts masters like carp crossing the river, but those who can practice these two martial arts are rare!

In short, these two martial arts are powerful and easy to master, but they just can't be practiced!

Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it magical?

This is the regret in the hearts of many people in the martial arts world, and it is also the regret that Yu Qingzi feels!

Why do they say these two martial arts are not difficult? Because many of them think that those with “poor comprehension” and “low combat power” have mastered them!

For example, the previous leader of the Beggars' Sect, Zhou Gongdan, only had the combat power of the eighth realm, but he still mastered the "Sun and Moon in the Pot", a world-unique magical skill that can isolate the small world!

Lian Cheng, one of the four young masters of the martial arts world, had already won over countless extraordinary people before he reached the peak of the ninth realm. Many of them could not be hired with money! It was said that many masters were forced to sign blood contracts by him and submit!

Yu Qingzi’s thoughts returned to the present.

"Did the young man summon him here?"

"Yes!"

"I heard that Young Master Tang San is your indentured servant?"

"Yes!"

"I have something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you, young man. Is this appropriate?"

"Master, please speak. Don't be polite!"

"Okay! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, young man. I've practiced martial arts for many years, and my combat power has reached the peak of the ninth level. I think my comprehension is not low. I don't know why, so far, I have not been able to understand the secret of separating the small world and the blood contract. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

"Master, you are too polite. How dare I give you advice? But since you mentioned it, I will tell you everything I know! Actually, there is no secret to these two martial arts. Everyone knows that they have almost nothing to do with force. What really works is concentration, or mental strength!"

"Oh, spiritual power! Young Master Feng, please continue!"

"For example, when a hypnotist begins to hypnotize a target person, if the target person is not affected at all, it means that the target person's mental power is stronger than the hypnotist! If it involves life and death, then the hypnotist is in danger. He is very likely to be backfired and trapped in the illusory dream he created, unable to extricate himself until death!"

"In other words, when your mental power is not as strong as your opponent's, you should not use it easily, otherwise you will be easily backlashed?"

"Not bad!"

"Can mental strength be understood as willpower?"

"No, it's not the same concept. Having a strong will only means that the person can endure! Can persevere! When two people's mental powers are fighting, it's not that whoever grits his teeth and perseveres will win! In front of someone with strong enough mental power, the one with weak mental power will be killed instantly! A glance can make the weaker party disappear in an instant! Strong mental power can be understood as a strong mind!"

"The will is strong? The will is strong..."

"I don't know how to describe it. It can only be understood but not expressed in words. Everyone has thoughts, but the strength of the thoughts varies!"

"I guess my mental strength is not strong enough to comprehend the divine power! Then, young man, do you know how to improve mental strength?"

"I haven't really studied this, so I don't know yet, but I believe there must be a way!"

"I suddenly understand what is meant by giftedness! You must be one of those people! It's hard to imagine that at your age, not only is your combat power extremely high, far above the peak of the Ninth Realm, but you also seem to have learned the Isolation of the Small World Divine Art and the Blood Contract Art without a teacher, right?"

"Haha, you can't say I learned it by myself. My isolated little world is actually learned from Zhou Gongdan! My drunken world is learned from his Sun and Moon in the Pot!"

Yu Qingzi sighed, "For someone like me who has no talent, I probably won't be able to comprehend the secrets of divine skills even if I practice for a hundred years!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Master, don't be discouraged. Everything in the world is possible! If you don't have talent, how can you break through to the peak of the ninth realm?"

After hearing this, Pang Shiwu raised his eyebrows, with a look of deep sorrow, "Just now I told you that the alligator was the one you released into the Yangtze River, but you just didn't believe me. What did you say, brother? Impossible! You said the word 'impossible'! Hey! Now that you are here, you are saying 'everything is possible'! Brother, we can't be hypocritical!"
