Chapter 679: Successful Retirement

On the seemingly endless official road, a man in a thin navy blue shirt was walking slowly with a dogtail grass in his mouth.

This posture of hunching over, carrying the sword on the shoulder, and hanging the hand on the sword can be considered sloppy, but it reveals a certain unrestrained and unruly look on him.

"The smell of wine?"

This breath seemed to fill him with energy. His brows brightened and he straightened his chest and back.

"over there!"

It flies forward rapidly with its toes touching the ground.

It's clearly a gallop on flat ground, but it has a bit of the aftertaste of rock climbing.

Every step was steady, but always with the subtle movements of being ready to leap and change direction. Although he held the sword in his hand, the small movements never stopped, as if there were invisible obstacles ahead and steep mountains that needed to be climbed.

But even so, he was still very fast, as if he was walking close to the ground.

An ordinary person would have fallen to the ground if this happened.

"What a light gong!"

At the end of the road, in a tavern, a heroic man clapped his hands in praise.

"Give me some wine! Three pounds of Lao Baigan!" The man in thin clothes found an empty seat and sat down.

"You are an expert, sir!" The shopkeeper hurriedly served the wine. "Hengshui wine has always been known for its long history, clear quality, and dryness. But the name of Lao Bai Gan has spread to other provinces."

"If we talk about nitpicking, I'm not as good as those scholars, but if we talk about drinking, I can be considered the best among them!" The man in thin shirt took the wine and drank three bowls of it. "Good! [Flying fragrance makes thousands of families drunk, the fragrance spreads ten miles after opening the jar], it's worthy of being Lao Baigan!"

"You have a good alcohol tolerance!" The burly man on the side praised again.

After sobering up, the man in thin shirt looked at the big man, his eyes lingering on his single sword for a moment, "Brother, who are you?"

"Are you a disciple of Huashan from the Five Mountains Sword Sect?" The big man did not answer.

"How did you know that?" The man in thin clothes shook his arm slightly, and the sword was already unsheathed.

"Huashan Linghu Chong?"

Hearing the big man reveal his identity, the man in thin clothes followed his gaze. It was his sword. On the blade near the hilt, there were five large characters engraved: "Huashan Linghu Chong".

Only then did he remember that he was carrying a Huashan-style fine steel sword, and the green silk tassel floating on the hilt had already revealed his origin.

"Brother, what's the point of you revealing my identity?" Seeing the big man's sword lying idle on the table, about a foot away from his hand, Linghu Chong sheathed his sword first, thinking about his own martial arts skills.

"You don't know?" The big man was surprised. "Now the whole martial arts world wants to make friends with you, Huashan. A god has appeared in Qingcheng."

"Qingcheng?" Linghu Chong frowned in disgust. His back was still aching from the thirty blows he had received. "What does this have to do with Huashan?"

He subconsciously regarded the Qingcheng Immortals as nonsense.

"I'm not making this up," the big man said, "the immortal was walking from Fuzhou City to Hengshan City."

"The new leader of Qingcheng Sect, Li Renyong, a group of Qingcheng disciples, and the leader of Huashan Sect [Gentleman Sword] are with him."

"How is that possible? Master is in Huashan. Even if he wants to attend Uncle Liu's retirement ceremony, he won't pass through Fuzhou City! My junior sister and I just parted ways in Hengyang City." Linghu Chong questioned, "In terms of time, Master must have gone with--"

He didn't say anything else, and it suddenly occurred to him that this was actually possible.

The master cared about his junior sister and followed her to Fuzhou.

"Ah, I almost forgot. With them are your junior sister Yue Lingshan and Young Master Lin from the Fuwei Escort Agency."

"The heroes along the way from Yanping to Jianning, Fuzhou and Hengzhou all saw it with their own eyes."

"Only gods can have such grace and beauty. Even if Pan An were alive, he would have to hide his face and walk away if he saw her."

"Unfortunately, I happened to be outside Hengyang at that time and accidentally missed it."

"We can only rush to Hengshan City."

"Hmph! What's [Jade-faced Beauty]? I think it's [A Fly Startled by a Tree]!" Linghu Chong ignored the news about the new leader of Qingcheng that had shaken the martial arts world, and focused all his attention on Lin Pingzhi, whose name was related to that of his junior sister and whose nickname showed that he was very handsome.

Even a big man could hear the sourness in his tone.

But like Linghu Chong, he mistook the immortal for an old senior with a youthful face and white hair, and mistakenly believed that Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan were a couple.

"Young Master Lin's swordsmanship is indeed as swift as a flying bird. In Hengyang City, he used one sword to flatten seven teacups without any of them tipping over. The cut surface of the porcelain ring feels extremely smooth. I have touched it with my own hands."

"This kind of miraculous swordsmanship, the only one in the whole world who can do it is Mr. Mo Da from Xiaoxiang Night Rain!" the big man exclaimed, "But Young Master Lin is only seventeen or eighteen years old, barely in his twenties."

"Brother, can you do this?"

Linghu Chong's back hunched again, "I can't do it. This [Seventy-two Sword Techniques to Exorcise Evils] is truly unrivaled in the world."

"Then Yu Canghai resigned as the head of the sect because he ran into trouble when he went to Fuzhou to avenge Chang Qingzi."

"Maybe the [Bear, Wild Boar, the Four Beasts of Qingcheng] are also..."

He sneered a few more times, as if venting his anger.

"Yu Canghai and his son, the Four Beauties of Qingcheng are indeed dead." The big man nodded, "A group of Qingcheng disciples took their bodies and went to the direction of Qingcheng in western Sichuan."

"It is said that they committed suicide because the old immortal could not bear to see them killing innocent people."

"Also, Li Renyong, before he met the old immortal, was mediocre in martial arts among all the disciples in Qingcheng."

"But afterwards, his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, even far surpassing Yu Canghai."

"This must be a unique righteous skill similar to the [Star Absorbing Magic Skill], which can transfer power between different people."

"You mean," Linghu Chong said in disbelief, "that Li Renyong's power comes from Yu Canghai and the [Four Beasts of Qingcheng]?"

"Yes, otherwise, how could he have the ability to kill the two bears with one palm." The big man sighed.

"What?" Linghu Chong naturally knew that the pair of bears referred to the [Mobei Twin Bears].

One of them is black, the other is white, one is a monk, the other is a layman.

They often occupied the desert outside the Great Wall and were two great thieves.

If the victim was carrying the goods himself, the Mobei Twin Bears would have only robbed his property and that would have been the end of it.

If there are bodyguards from the escort agency, the two bears will often cook and eat the bodyguards.

It is said that people who practice martial arts have strong muscles, so the food they eat has more chewiness.

Being able to do such horrific things and still live well in the world shows his ability.

"My last name is Tian." The big man continued, "I'm telling you my identity so that I can use your identity to meet the old immortal and get a taste of his aura."

"Okay, okay." Linghu Chong took another sip of wine.

"Damn it, where is Tian Boguang?"

On the way to Hengshan City, Li Lin felt extremely depressed.

Even though there was a very pretty little nun among the three nuns not far away who was secretly looking at him, he couldn't be happy.

He separated from Yue Lingshan in Hengyang and waited outside the city in order to kill Tian Boguang.

In the end, he only waited for Yilin.

It also made her distracted. Not only did she slip while going down the mountain and her hands got dirty by touching the mountain wall as in the original world line, but she almost fell off the mountain.

He happened to save it.

But within a mile, there was no sign of Tian Boguang, who was supposed to be there. At the same time, he was followed by a very annoying monk.

That was Yilin’s father, Monk Bujie.

In the original world line, he had actually been following Yi Lin since she was kidnapped by Tian Boguang and taken to Huiyan Tower. When Yi Lin recalled who Qu Feiyan was, he appeared in her memory.

As a result, he just watched, happily watching Linghu Chong almost lose his life, and still had the mood to drink.

Even though Li Lin didn't like Linghu Chong, he still thought this was weird.

What's even more bizarre is that the reason why Monk Bujie kept arresting Tian Boguang was that he thought that although Tian Boguang was a flower thief and had tried to molest his daughter, it just showed that he knew how to appreciate his daughter.

Therefore, when Linghu Chong was fighting desperately, he was probably thinking happily: Finally someone knows my daughter's worth, that's good, the more intense the fight, the better, this shows that my daughter is pretty enough.

"Brother Li, drink some water." Yi Lin naturally didn't know what Li Lin was thinking. With the encouragement of her two senior sisters, she stepped forward cautiously, while in her heart she kept apologizing to Guanyin Bodhisattva for her evil thoughts.

Yi Lin had a graceful figure. Although she was wrapped in a loose black dress, her slim and graceful figure could not be concealed.

Combined with its clear and melodious sound, even if this is just ordinary water, in the eyes of most people, it is probably sweeter than honey water.

Even Li Lin smiled a little.

Hengshan City, outside Liu’s house.

Four large lanterns were lit at the door, and dozens of people were holding torches, some with umbrellas, busy welcoming guests.

Some of them formed a human wall to block the curious people who wanted to come in the rain to get a taste of the fairy air.

The sound of hustle and bustle is endless.

"It's so lively." Linghu Chong revealed the sword tassel from a distance and was able to enter the only passage - walking towards Liu's residence under the eaves.

Tian Boguang followed closely behind.

He walked into the mansion under the envious gazes of the crowd.

When I stepped into the hall, I could only hear the noise of people. The tables and chairs were squeezed together, with almost no place to stand. More than 500 people were sitting in different places, but there was no angry look on their faces.

They all looked towards the main table, which was the least crowded and had an empty main seat with a passage around it that was wide enough for several people to pass through.

"Master!" Linghu Chong also looked over.

When he saw that the junior sister was sitting next to the main seat, far away from the fair and handsome man, a bright smile broke out on his face.

"Big Brother!"

When he heard Yue Lingshan calling him, his feet felt numb, as if he was walking on clouds.

So much so that he didn't notice the complicated expressions of Lu Dayou and other fellow disciples.

He didn't even notice that the Junior Sister's beloved Green Water Sword was no longer with her, and was replaced by a dark iron sword.

"Chong'er." Yue Buqun called the name of his eldest disciple gently.

Along the way, he seemed to have returned to the time when Mount Hua was still the leader of the Five Great Mountains. He felt relaxed and without any pressure at all.

"Master." Linghu Chong was a little uncomfortable.

His master did care about him, but he usually scolded him every time he saw him.

"sit."

Following his master's instructions, he sat down nervously, only to find that his seat was the farthest from his junior sister.

As if sensing Linghu Chong's confusion, Yue Buqun said with a smile, "Lingshan is valued by Immortal Li, so she must stay by his side." He then changed the subject, "Who is this person?"

Yue Buqun watched Linghu Chong grow up and adopted him for more than twenty years. Naturally, he knew that this disciple was a stupid person. When he got angry, only he and his junior sister could control him.

He doesn't want anything to go wrong today.

"Tian Zhongming," Tian Boguang said, "I am an old friend of Brother Linghu. I want to meet the old immortal and get some of his divine energy."

"Oh?" Yue Buqun didn't have much doubt.

First, Linghu Chong is a person who cannot sit still and runs around everywhere.

In the original world line, when he was six years old, he even played dice and drank old wine with Huang Boliu, the leader of the Tianlong Gang.

You should know that Huang Boliu is a senior elder in the Central Plains martial arts world, with more than 10,000 disciples. He has the title of "Silver Bearded Dragon" and is located between Qi, Shandong, Henan and Hubei, in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

He has too many friends to count.

Second, Huashan is not afraid of any difficulties.

Even if Immortal Li did not take action, he would not be afraid of anyone with his [Purple Cloud True Qi].

(He practiced the art of exorcism, but [Purple Clouds Technique] is more like a sophisticated method of using energy. Before it reaches perfection, it is processed on the spot when facing the enemy, and his internal energy only possesses some of its characteristics.)
(When it first starts, it is vague and soft like clouds, but it accumulates strength and becomes extremely tenacious. Later, it becomes overwhelming and unstoppable. This is also the reason why it comes from this.)
(After his [Exorcism Qi] was processed using the [Purple Cloud Power], it was still [Purple Cloud Qi], but its power was even greater than that of the Great Perfection.)
Linghu Chong thought to himself, "Brother Tian is a very heroic man. We hit it off right away. How can our friendship not be considered 'old'?"

Linghu Chong has always been like this, with unique ideas.

That's why he did so many stupid things in the original world line.

Seeing his mistress, whom he regarded as his mother, being pinched on the face and teased by Ren Yingying's men, he was furious at first, and then immediately hid in the bushes without daring to breathe. He thought that for the sake of Ren Woxing and the others' face, it would be best not to fight with the people from the Demon Sect.

In the Lin family's old house, he saw two people who were suspected to be from the Demon Cult pressing the acupoints of Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi. After rummaging through the drawers and finding the [Sword Manual of Exorcism], he did not take action when he should have.

If he snatched the sword manual back from Junior Sister at this time, he wouldn't be suspected at all.

The result is that you have to wait.

These two people said they wanted to kill Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, but they were thinking of waiting a little longer.

The two men fled with the sword manual, and when they left the old house, he appeared and snatched the sword manual back.

It would be strange if he wasn't suspected in this situation.

From the perspective of Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan, their senior brother was only concerned with the sword manual, and after he got it, the sword manual inexplicably disappeared from his hands. Then he inexplicably acquired superb sword skills.

In the serialized version, Linghu Chong even admired Ren Yingying forcing her father Yue Buqun to feed the Three Corpses Brain Pill in front of his adoptive mother Ning Zhongze's corpse. Even before Ning Zhongze's body was buried, he couldn't wait to hug Ren Yingying and felt extremely happy.

But the most outrageous thing is that behind every foolish behavior, there is a justifiable and clear self-logic.

Moreover, his principle of putting righteousness first is easy to see through.

Yue Buqun saw through Linghu Chong, but he was suspicious by nature. After Linghu Chong displayed the "Nine Swords of Dugu" and the Five Hegemons were supported by countless heroes, he thought he was wrong and that Linghu Chong had been pretending.

The same is true for Tian Boguang, Xiang Wentian, Ren Yingying, Fang Zheng, and Chongxu.

Just now, before Tian Boguang said this, he had already expected that Linghu Chong would not expose it.

And this is exactly the reality.

Tian Boguang even sat next to Lu Dayou and listened to him bragging about his senior brother, saying that his Qigong was so high that he could drink a gourd of wine in one breath without touching the spout of the pot. He even almost recited the whole formula of Huashan Qigong, 'The spirit is concentrated in the Dantian, the breath wanders in the Purple Palace, the body is as if soaring into the sky and surpassing Mount Hua, the Qi is as if rushing into the sky and shaking the North Star'.

It was only when Yue Buqun glared at him that he came to his senses.

Tian Boguang quickly covered his ears sensibly, and then continued chatting with Lu Dayou.

While speaking, he did not even glance at Yue Lingshan.

He is indeed lustful, but not as lustful as Yun Zhonghe.

He knew that if he looked at Yue Lingshan any longer, he would not be able to conceal his evil thoughts and would be exposed.
