Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 252: Single-handedly challenged the martial arts masters of Shu

soon……

The news that Chu Yuan defeated the masters of the three major forces, Duzunbao, Bameng, and Chuanbang, spread out of Shu as fast as a hurricane.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the world, with the Central Plains as its center.

All major forces in the world soon received the news and it caused a sensation.

……

Daxing.

It was originally the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty and the center of the world.

However, since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, Daxing City quickly declined.

To the south of Daxing City lies Mount Zhongnan.

The Qinling Mountains are like a winding and vast dragon, guarding the land of China, and Mount Zhongnan is just a small scale on this dragon.

There is a peak on Mount Zhongnan, named Dita Peak.

One of the two main pillars of the white way in the world, Cihang Jingzhai is located on the Dita Peak.

Cihang Jingzhai.

The top of the back mountain.

There is an octagonal pavilion.

There is a small plaque hanging under the pavilion with the words "Rain Viewing Pavilion" written on it.

On one side of the pavilion is a sea of ​​fog with clouds rolling down the mountain.

At this time, Shi Feixuan was dressed in green clothes, her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, her eyes were like rippling autumn water, her long hair was draped over her shoulders and simply tied with a piece of cloth. Two tufts of long hair hung on both sides of her chest. She looked like a cold fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, meditating and practicing in the pavilion.

She didn't know when a nun in her forties appeared beside her. She was wearing a grey monk's robe and had a beautiful face. Although she was middle-aged, she couldn't hide her beauty. She was quietly watching Shi Feixuan meditating in the pavilion, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the Rain-Viewing Pavilion was unknowingly filled with an incomparably sharp sword energy.

Although this sword energy was sharp, it was condensed and did not disperse. It did not go beyond the Rain-Viewing Pavilion at all. It only existed within the Rain-Viewing Pavilion, but did not destroy the Rain-Viewing Pavilion at all.

And when I arrived just now, I didn't deliberately suppress the sound of my footsteps.

But at this moment, Shi Feixuan still looked focused.

It seems that he has already approached the realm of "Sword God without self" that is detached from the world in "Cihang Sword Canon".

"Master, you are here."

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Shi Feixuan opened her eyes and said to the middle-aged nun beside her.

"Yes, Feixuan, your practice of the Cihang Sword Canon has become more and more advanced. Now you have reached the realm of "Sword God without Self", and you are not far from "Sword Heart Enlightenment". In time, even my teacher may not be your opponent."

This middle-aged nun is none other than Fan Qinghui, the current head of Cihang Jingzhai.

"Master, you are too kind."

Shi Feixuan shook her head.

She had been complacent before.

But since she had been to Shu once before and met the young Taoist priest, she had different ideas in her mind.

Shi Feixuan said: "There are so many geniuses in the world, and I am just an ordinary one among the countless people."

Fan Qinghui knew who his disciple was talking about, but there are always people better than you, and the young Taoist priest in Shu was indeed the most brilliant and talented person among the young generation in the world today.

Even as strong as his disciple Shi Feixuan and the Demon Queen's disciple Wanwan, they are still a little inferior to him.

Fan Qinghui comforted Shi Feixuan: "Feixuan, you don't have to think too much. With your aptitude and martial arts skills, you are already excellent."

Shi Feixuan asked, "Master, is there anything that made you come to the back mountain to look for me?"

She knew that she liked to come to the Rain Viewing Pavilion in the back mountain to practice. People in the sect, including her master, would not take the initiative to come to the back mountain to look for her unless they had something to do.

Since the master is here, it must be something very important.

"I just got the news that the leader of Qingcheng Sect, Chu Yuan, recently challenged the leaders and masters of the three major Shu forces, Duzun Fort, Bameng, and Chuan Gang. The leader of Duzun Fort, Jie Hui, the leader of Chuan Gang, the spear king, Fan Zhuo, the monkey king of Bameng, Feng Zhen, the beauty Sina, the big boss Luo Feng, the wind general Chuan Mouxun and other masters, without exception, all lost to him. Now, the leader of Qingcheng Sect, Taoist Qingyang, has become the undisputed number one martial arts master in Shu."

Fan Qinghui looked at his disciple Shi Feixuan and said.

"Xie Hui also lost?"

Shi Feixuan raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

Xie Hui and the head of the Lingnan Song clan, Song Que, the world's number one swordsman, are sworn brothers.

In addition, Xie Hui's strength and influence are not weak.

Before the Taoist Qingyang and the Qingcheng Sect appeared, although Jie Hui did not have a record of single-handedly challenging all the masters in Shu, he was still regarded as the number one master in Shu by everyone.

Duzun Fort is even more dominant. Although it is one of the three major forces in Shu together with Bameng and Chuanbang, it has a feeling of being superior to the other two major forces.

"Yes, Xie Hui was also defeated."

Brahma, pure and wise.

"It seems that the power of this "Eternal Life Secret" is really unimaginable."

Shi Feixuan sighed.

With his own strength, he challenged all the martial arts masters in Shu. After this battle, Chu Yuan was already considered a famous master in the world.

Although Chu Yuan was very powerful in the past, the people he defeated were just young people like Yu Wenzhi and the Goryeo female assassin, so he was not that powerful.

Although Chu Yuan is very famous in the entire martial arts world and the world, everyone only regards him as a leader of the younger generation.

However, after this feat of single-handedly challenging the entire Shu martial arts world, Chu Yuan will truly become a world-famous master, on par with the older generation of masters.

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of major forces in the world. This is probably the reason why the master found him.

"Not only that, I heard that the demon sect Tianlian Sect, which had been entrenched in Shu for many years, and its leader Anlong and his group were also frightened by Taoist Qingyang and fled Shu overnight. They even gave up the business they had run for many years."

Then Fan Qinghui continued.

"An Long, the leader of the Tianlian Sect?"

Shi Feixuan looked surprised.

Although the Demonic Sect has always been very hidden, for the Tianlian Sect, which originated from merchants, their business operations cannot avoid being noticed by other major forces.

Therefore, the business name "Hexinglong" is the news of the evil sect Tianlian Sect, which is a secret to ordinary people in the world.

But for a big force like Cihang Jingzhai, it has long been under their surveillance.

Especially since Cihang Jingzhai are the leaders of the White Way, their duty is to fight against the Demon Sect, so they keep the closest eye on the Demon Sect's whereabouts.

"This is good, so that we don't have to take action later to eradicate the Tianlian Sect."

Shi Feixuan said.

The reason why Bai Dao allowed Tian Lian Sect to develop in Shu was that although Tian Lian Sect was one of the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect, they were born as merchants and only wanted to make money, so they were considered a relatively peaceful sect.

Unlike the other sects of the Demon Sect, which have been causing chaos in the world.

"Fei Xuan, this time I came here, I want you to go to Shu again, meet that Taoist Qingyang, and protect him."

Fan Qinghui said to Shi Feixuan.

"Why, Master?"

Shi Feixuan looked at her master Fan Qinghui and asked.

She knew that her master must have her reasons for asking her to do this.

"According to my estimation, the Demon Sect will not let him go next. You know who An Long belongs to. In addition, the Secret of Immortality shines brightly in his hands. With the way the Demon Sect acts, they will definitely covet the Secret of Immortality, which may cause the Yinkui Sect and Zhu Yuyan to take action personally."

Brahma, pure and wise.

In response to Chu Yuan's sudden appearance, the Demon Sect did not take no action.

Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Yinkui Sect, sent her own disciple Wanwan, but what the Demon Sect did not expect was that she also sent her master Feixuan.

The most important thing is that according to the information reported to her by her disciple Shi Feixuan, Taoist Qingyang's martial arts have exceeded everyone's imagination.

Neither Wanwan nor his disciple Shi Feixuan were sure of defeating him.

Since he failed the first time, Chu Yuan will challenge all the masters in Shu alone this time. Given the nature of the Demon Sect, they will definitely not let go of the "Eternal Life Secret" in his hand. Shi Feixuan asked: "There must be other reasons, right?"

If it's just to protect Taoist Qingyang, there's no need at all.

Although she had made a breakthrough in her "Cihang Sword Canon" during her return to the mountain, she was probably still not a match for Chu Yuan, who was a master of all Shu lands, by herself.

So if the Demon Sect takes action, especially if Zhu Yuyan takes action personally, the Taoist Qingyang will not be their match, and she probably won't be either.

Fan Qinghui nodded, "Yes, now that the tyrant emperor Yang Guang is dead, the world is in chaos, and the war for supremacy has begun. According to the current situation, the Qingcheng Sect will be the largest force in Shu in the future. If my Cihang Jingzhai wants to find a wise ruler for the world, we need the support of all forces in the world. Shu is a place that cannot be ignored. You need to build a good relationship with the Taoist Qingyang. It would be best if you can make friends with him. For this purpose, I have prepared a gift for you."

As he spoke, Fan Qinghui took out a book with an orange cover from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Feixuan.

"This is... the Cihang Sword Canon?"

Shi Feixuan said in surprise.

"Yes, it is the Cihang Sword Canon."

Fan Qinghui nodded and said, "You also said before that the Taoist Qingyang is willing to exchange the "Eternal Life Secret" for our "Cihang Sword Canon". Since he agrees, you can take the "Cihang Sword Canon" with you."

Shi Feixuan hesitated and said, "But..."

She wanted to say that Taoist Qingyang was unwilling to tell her how to comprehend the "Secret of Immortality".

Without the method to comprehend it, even if you obtain the "Secret of Immortality", it will be of no value.

Fan Qinghui said: "This is not for anything else, just to make friends with the other party."

Seeing her master say this, Shi Feixuan could only take over the "Cihang Sword Canon" and swallow what she wanted to say before.

Shi Feixuan said: "Well, since Master said so, then I will go there."

After putting away the "Cihang Sword Canon", Shi Feixuan said goodbye and left the Guanyu Pavilion.

Fan Qinghui stood in the Tingyu Pavilion, watching his disciple Shi Feixuan's back as she walked down the mountain, and muttered to himself, "At a time when the world is in turmoil and a wise ruler is being selected, the emergence of such a genius and power, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

……

Mirror Flower Tower.

Located in the south of Luoyang City.

It is a very famous brothel in Luoyang City and one of the best.

There were more than a hundred young women with beautiful looks and dressed like ladies from wealthy families.

Compared with brothels, brothels do not engage in the crude and direct flesh-and-blood trade.

The people served here are powerful and wealthy young men.

Young men from wealthy families would come here to listen to music and chat, and to exchange ideas on chess, poetry, painting and other arts with these women, who were called geishas.

What matters here is that both parties are willing. If both parties have a good chat, it's not impossible to have sex.

Of course, a brothel is essentially a whorehouse.

It just looks more upscale than ordinary brothels.

No one knows that the Jinghua Tower in Luoyang City is a major stronghold of the Yinkui Sect, a very hidden sect.

Almost all the women in Jinghua Tower are outer disciples of the Yinkui Sect.

At this time, the backyard of Jinghua Tower was a place where guests and the women in the brothel were forbidden to enter.

"This Taoist Qingyang actually challenged all the martial arts masters in Shu by himself. The Lord of Duzun Fort, the Lord of the Chuan Clan, and the masters of the Ba League were all defeated by him. Could it be that the Secret of Immortality is really that powerful?"

In a garden with rockery and blooming plum blossoms, a woman who looked somewhat like Kankan, only a few years older than Kankan, full of youthfulness, with a half-covered veil, a pair of beautiful eyebrows slanting into her temples, eyes as black as lacquer, and extremely bright, dressed in black, who looked like a sister to Wanwan, spoke to Wanwan in front of her.

Although only most of the woman's face can be seen, the exposed part is already graceful and full of intoxicating charm. Her skin is like flawless white jade, delicate and fair, and her temperament is unparalleled. She can be said to be a most beautiful woman in the world.

"Master, it's a good thing I didn't fight him before, I'm afraid I'm no match for him."

Wanwan stood in front of the woman and said.

This woman is none other than the leader of the evil Yinkui sect, Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of Yin" who is feared by all the people in the martial arts world.

"Since the Secret of Immortality is so powerful, our Yinkui Sect must seize it."

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked and dressed like a wealthy man spoke next to him.

Although there was a smile in the other person's eyes, he always gave people a sinister feeling.

This man is none other than the elder of the Yinkui sect, Moyin Bian Bufu.

He is also Zhu Yuyan's junior fellow apprentice.

"How about sending you to seize the Secret of Immortality?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan turned her gaze to Bian Bufu and said to him.

"Senior sister is joking."

Bian Bufu was stunned when he heard this, then smiled awkwardly.

Although his martial arts skills are not bad, they are only at the same level as An Long, the leader of the Tianlian Sect.

It is said that Lian Anlong was so frightened that he gave up the business "Hexinglong" which he had run in Shu for many years, and fled overnight with the disciples of Tianlian Sect.

If he goes, I'm afraid the result will be the same.

"Then you said that there are many people in the world who are greedy for the "Eternal Life Secret". After all, it is one of the four great books in the world, but there are actually not many people who have the strength to covet it."

Zhu Yuyan said.

This Taoist Qingyang rose to prominence in the martial arts world so quickly that no one could react.

When many people wanted to snatch the "Secret of Immortality" from him, they found that both Taoist Qingyang himself and the Qingcheng Sect he founded had grown to a certain extent.

Even the demonic Tianlian Sect and its leader Anlong could only flee.

Although the Tianlian Sect is composed of a group of merchants, its strength is not among the seven demonic sects.

But An Long, the leader of the Tianlian Sect, is ranked fifth among the eight great masters of the Demon Sect.

"Sister, if we want to capture this man and obtain the "Eternal Life Secret" in his hand, there is a way. Our Yinkui Sect will mobilize all its forces, and with you leading the way personally, we will definitely be able to capture him."

Bian Bufu thought for a while and said.

"No."

Zhu Yuyan refused without even thinking.

"The nuns in Cihang Jingzhai are keeping a close eye on us. If our Yinkui Sect mobilizes in full force, Cihang Jingzhai will definitely not stand idly by and will intervene."

Zhu Yuyan continued.

"Master, what should we do?"

Wanwan said.

If the master did not take action personally, even if the Yinkui Sect mobilized all its forces, they would not be able to do anything to the Taoist priest.

"It's very simple. Wanwan and I will go to Shu together to see this famous Taoist Qingyang. The rest of you stay put."

Zhu Yuyan said.

According to her estimation, the only people in the world who could pose a threat to that Taoist priest were the leaders of the major sects.

"I will accompany Master for a while."

Wanwan said from the side.

Seeing such a powerful force and such a formidable master rise up in Shu because of the "Eternal Life Secret", the Demon Sect was really envious.

"Get ready, you and I will leave as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuyan said to Wanwan.

"As you command, Master."

Wanwan nodded in agreement.

After arranging all the affairs within the sect, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan left Luoyang and headed for Shu.
