“You’re being too deliberate.”
It was indeed deliberate. Jiang Ning was just hiding from the rain in the dilapidated temple at that time, and Gan Lan and those Miao people came over and surrounded him. At first, Jiang Ning was not sure whether what they said was true or false, so he said that sentence to test it.
If they were really coming for him, they would definitely involve him. Sure enough, when he said that unfamiliar word, the Miao people were stunned for a moment, and then they led the topic to Jiang Ning, which made Jiang Ning know that they were coming for him.
But what really exposed them was that Kale's behavior was too abnormal, as if he had fallen in love with Jiang Ning at first sight.
Jiang Ning never thought that he was as handsome as Pan An. As soon as women saw him, they would pounce on him. Without exception, all such actions were done with a purpose.
Jiang Ning didn't plan to kill Gan Lan at first because he wanted to find out her background and purpose. From his observations over the past two days, Gan Lan was very well disguised. Except for the obvious signs of deliberate performance at the beginning, there was nothing suspicious about her until just now.
Jiang Ning's innate skills gave him very good eyesight. Just now, he saw her fingers move slightly when she was filling the water. Later, Gan Lan held the water with the poisonous insect and asked Jiang Ning to drink it. Then Jiang Ning saw the poisonous insect in the water again. Although the color of the poisonous insect was very light, it could not escape his eyes.
The Miao people are good at using poison and are coming for him, so the only one can be the Five Poison Sect.
Kale doesn't know what to say now.
She had a high status in the Five Poisons Sect and knew that Ren Yingying had come to Sichuan. After Ren Yingying assigned this task, she became curious about Jiang Ning and took the initiative to take on this task. She wanted to observe closely what was so special about this righteous disciple who was being taken care of by the Saint Lady of the Demon Sect. Now she had indeed seen it.
He was not interested in women. No matter how she hinted and tempted Jiang Ning in the dilapidated temple before, he turned a blind eye as if he saw nothing.
She was extremely vigilant and had no chance to contact Jiang Ning in the past two days. Every time when she wanted to touch Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning would move away. It was for this reason that she was ready to use the Gu on Jiang Ning, but she didn't expect that Jiang Ning saw through it.
She observed carefully and thought her actions just now were very covert, but they still could not escape Jiang Ning's eyes.
He acted decisively. When Jiang Ning realized something was wrong, he immediately restrained her, leaving her no chance to fight back.
No wonder the Saint Lady wants to take care of this person alone.
Kale thought to himself.
Click!
Jiang Ning twisted it hard and broke Kale's neck.
Now that the matter has been clarified, there is no need to keep her alive.
There was no need to ask the Miao girl about Ren Yingying's whereabouts. It would be useless to ask. She would never tell me.
After dealing with the pawn sent by Ren Yingying, Jiang Ning stood up and headed towards Mount Emei.
He had concealed his real destination these past two days and had been wandering around with the Miao girl. He would have to speed up his actions next and be more careful about his whereabouts.
Three days later.
Mount Emei.
After three days of travel, Jiang Ning finally arrived at Mount Emei. At this time, he had changed into the clothes he bought in Shaanxi.
The loose robe is sky blue in color, with a few snowflakes and pine and bamboo embroidered on the collar. It does not look too flashy but not too monotonous either.
Jiang Ning's temperament has become more extraordinary since he practiced Xiantian Gong. After Jiang Ning put it on, he looked even more extraordinary.
The Emei Sect is located in the Jinding Temple of Mount Emei, at the top of the mountain. Mount Emei is 3,000 meters above sea level. When Jiang Ning arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw only magnificent temple buildings. However, among these temples there are also some Taoist buildings.
Jiang Ning arrived at the gate of the temple, where a monk and a Taoist priest were guarding the gate.
"Amitabha, may I ask what brings you to my Golden Summit Temple?"
One of the monks bowed to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said: "I am Jiang Ning from Huashan Sect, and I have come to visit your sect."
When Jiang Ning said this, the two were shocked and became very respectful to him.
"It turns out that it is the Huashan Sect's benefactor Jiang who is here to visit. I hope you will forgive me for being impolite."
The monk from before subconsciously became nervous.
Chapter 132: Master Jin Guang
Chapter 132: Master Jin Guang
Although the Huashan Sect is very weak now, it is only relative to the top sects and schools such as the Demon Sect, Wudang and Shaolin.
The Huashan Sect is still very famous.
"Donor Jiang, please follow me. The abbot of our temple has been waiting for a long time."
The monk said to Jiang Ning respectfully.
"Thank you for leading the way, Master."
Jiang Ning nodded.
The monk looked ashamed and said, "I am not worthy of being called that by Donor Jiang. I am sorry for embarrassing you. Please follow me."
The monk led the way in front, and Jiang Ning followed behind, passing through one magnificent building after another.
Although the Emei Sect is very low-key now, it is much richer than the Huashan Sect.
Along the way, Jiang Ning found that there were many monks on the road, but also some Taoists.
After Jiang Ning's observation, he found that many of these monks had no internal strength and were not martial artists. Only some monks had martial arts skills. However, all the Taoists knew martial arts, but their numbers were very small.
It seems that these monks and Taoists who are good at martial arts are the disciples of Emei Sect.
The monk led Jiang Ning to a large hall. In the center of the hall, an old monk was sitting on a cushion and chanting scriptures in a low voice.
"Master, the Huashan Sect's Jiang Ning donor is here to visit."
The monk whispered to the old monk.
This old monk is the current head of Emei Sect, Master Jin Guang.
Upon hearing this, Master Jin Guang stopped chanting, stood up and turned to look at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning bowed and said, "Junior greets the master."
"Last year, I heard that the rising star of Huashan Sect, Young Hero Jiangning, defeated the lone traveler Tian Boguang by himself. Some time ago, he eliminated him in Hanzhong, removing a threat for the people. The young hero's name spread throughout the martial arts world. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary."
"Come, please sit down."
Master Jin Guang took Jiang Ning to a side hall and motioned for Jiang Ning to sit down.
"How is your sect leader, Mr. Yue, these days?"
As soon as Jiang Ning sat down, he heard Master Jin Guang ask in a kind tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Everything is fine with my master. Before I left the mountain, my master asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
Jiang Ning smiled.
Master Jin Guang looked kind and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Yue."
After a few pleasantries, Master Jin Guang asked Jiang Ning to stay in Jinding Temple for a few days as a courtesy to the Emei Sect, and Jiang Ning did not refuse.
During this process, Master Jin Guang did not ask Jiang Ning why he came to Emei Sect, and Jiang Ning did not say anything.
It would be too abrupt to propose that the Emei Sect join in the fight against the Demon Sect as soon as he arrived, and Jiang Ning also needed to observe the Emei Sect and see what the sect is like now.
After chatting for a while, a monk came in from outside.
Master Jin Guang said to Jiang Ning, "Young man, why don't you stay in Mount Emei for a few more days? You can tell me anything you have."
Jiang Ning said: "Thank you, Master."
The monk who came in earlier bowed to Jiang Ning and said, "Donor, the guest room has been prepared for you. Please follow me."
"it is good."
Jiang Ning nodded, stood up and said to Master Jin Guang: "Master, I will take my leave now."
Master Jin Guang smiled and nodded.
After walking out of the room, Jiang Ning followed the monk out.
Along the way, the monk did not take Jiang Ning directly to the guest room, but took him to visit the Jinding Temple first.
Jiang Ning met some Taoists, some of whom walked steadily and calmly, obviously not ordinary people.
These Taoists were a little surprised when they saw Jiang Ning. After asking, they found out that Jiang Ning was a disciple of Huashan Sect. They all greeted Jiang Ning.
During the conversation, Jiang Ning was also observing them and found that these Taoists were all from the Song generation and had quite good martial arts skills. Some of them were already second-rate, and two were already first-rate masters, but were weaker than Jiang Ning and were about the same size as Tian Boguang.
Later, Jiang Ning saw two middle-aged Taoists sitting and discussing Taoism in an empty courtyard. After the monk who led the way introduced them, Jiang Ning learned that these two Taoists were also from the Song generation.
These two Taoists were also first-rate masters. Jiang Ning observed keenly that one of them had a long and powerful aura, which was not weaker than his own, and was on par with him.
Taoist with pine patterns.
Jiang Ning knew his name.
After knowing Jiang Ning's identity, Taoist Song Wen was very polite to Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning knew that he was not being polite to himself, but to the Huashan Sect.
After meeting Taoist Li Songwen and his junior fellow apprentice who were about to discuss Taoism, Jiang Ning sat aside and watched.
After listening for a while, Jiang Ning discovered that the two people discussed everything from ancient times to the present. One person put forward a point of view and the other refuted it. After discussing for a long time, neither could convince the other. In particular, the two people brought up the classic debate story between Zhuangzi and Huizi, "If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?" to argue.
After listening for a while, Jiang Ning got up and left.
Recently the monk brought Jiang Ning to a spacious and bright guest room.
"If you have anything to ask, please let me know."
After the monk said this to Jiang Ning, he left.
Jiang Ning sat at the table, thinking about what he had seen today.
Not to mention anything else, Jiang Ning had met four first-rate masters today, one of whom was even as good as him, and there were quite a few second-rate masters as well. This was not to mention that there might be some first-rate masters who had not yet appeared, plus the sect leader, Master Jin Guang, who had profound martial arts skills.
Such strength has surpassed that of the previous Huashan Sect, and even the current Huashan Sect may not be able to surpass it. Of course, this is in terms of the number of masters. In terms of the quality of masters, the Huashan Sect is still stronger.
Just now, Jiang Ning observed Master Jin Guang closely and found that his strength was very strong, but only about the same as Yue Buqun before he obtained the Xiantian Kung, and at the same level as Feng Buping.
There has always been a tacit rule in the martial arts world, that is, whoever is the strongest in the sect will be the leader, otherwise he will not be able to win the support of the others.
If we don't count Feng Qingyang who hasn't appeared for decades, Yue Buqun is the strongest in Huashan Sect, so he is the head of Huashan Sect. Fang Zheng is the strongest in Shaolin Sect, so he is the head of Shaolin Sect. Similarly, Master Jin Guang is the strongest master in Emei Sect.
But even so, the strength of the Emei Sect cannot be underestimated.
Although the top combat power of Emei Sect is not as good as that of Huashan Sect now, the number of masters and disciples of Emei Sect exceeds that of Huashan Sect.
However, in Jiang Ning's opinion, it is normal for the Emei Sect to have such strength.
After all, Emei is not like Huashan. The Huashan Sect once led the Five Mountains Sword Sects to fight against the Demon Sect, and then there was internal turmoil, which led to its decline. The Emei Sect has not been involved in external struggles for so many years and is very low-key. Unlike the Huashan Sect, which has cut off its inheritance, its martial arts system is still intact. Even if there was some internal turmoil, it should not be worse than the previous Huashan Sect.
