Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

After all, most of the people present here are from reputable and upright families, and Lin Pingzhi, who still remains naive, feels that they will jump out to help him get justice.

But Lin Pingzhi forgot that the Qingcheng Sect was also a famous and upright sect.

After Lin Pingzhi jumped out, a hint of intention flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes. Just when Yue Buqun was about to say something, Mu Gaofeng, the Ming camel from the northern frontier, stepped forward instead. He used the image of Lin Pingzhi disguised as a little hunchback as a substitution point, claiming that Lin Pingzhi was his nephew. After exchanging a move with Yu Canghai, he waited for Lin Pingzhi to run away.

To be honest, the people in the martial arts world who are eyeing the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism are not just Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng, Yue Buqun and others. In fact, even most of the people present here have ideas about the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism.

However, neither Yu Canghai nor Mu Gaofeng were simple characters. It was not easy to snatch Lin Pingzhi from them.

However, they could not just watch Mu Gaofeng take Lin Pingzhi away.

So when Mu Gaofeng was about to leave with Lin Pingzhi, a few people jumped out from the side and attacked Mu Gaofeng directly, trying to force Mu Gaofeng to retreat, or at least prevent Mu Gaofeng from taking Lin Pingzhi away.

"Hmph!" Mu Gaofeng snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a camel sword was unsheathed at some point, turning into a ray of cold light.

The people who blocked Mu Gaofeng's way were not very strong. After Mu Gaofeng slashed with his sword, two of them died directly from his sword, and another one was also seriously injured.

Those who were ready to make a move stopped immediately after seeing this scene. They looked at Mu Gaofeng with vigilance and were secretly shocked: "This Mu Tuozi is indeed a ruthless character who has made a name for himself in the northern frontier. His martial arts are really amazing, and his moves are even more ruthless. If he doesn't make a move, it's fine. But once he makes a move, he's aiming to take someone's life."

The reason why Mu Gaofeng acted so ruthlessly at the first move was actually that he wanted to make an example of someone and frighten others, or at least make them stunned for a moment so that he could take Lin Pingzhi away from Liu's Mansion.

After all, although Mu Gaofeng's strength was not bad, he did not think that he was invincible. Even in the Liu Mansion, there were several people with martial arts skills higher than his. Not to mention that even if people who were not as good as him reacted and besieged him, he would not be able to take Lin Pingzhi away.

Although Mu Gaofeng's idea was good, not everything could go exactly as he wished.

Before the others could say anything, Yu Canghai had already reacted completely. He moved forward to block Mu Gaofeng's way and slapped him directly with his palm.

Mu Gaofeng saw a hint of black air on Yu Canghai's palm and immediately understood that this was the Qingcheng Sect's unique skill, the Heart-Destroying Palm.

The Heart-Destroying Palm is a very vicious martial art that specifically damages people's internal organs.

Mu Gaofeng's internal energy circulated and gathered on his palms, and he slapped Yu Canghai's heart-destroying palm.

Snapped--

Even though Mu Gaofeng was prepared, he still felt a strange force invading his tendons and veins from his palms, attacking his heart and other fragile internal organs.

Mu Gaofeng quickly turned his inner energy around and dissipated the inner force into his meridians. However, Yu Canghai took the opportunity to snatch Lin Pingzhi away from him.

Seeing this, Mu Gaofeng quickly grabbed one of Lin Pingzhi's arms.

So, Mu Gaofeng and Yu Canghai each grabbed one of Lin Pingzhi's arms, trying to take Lin Pingzhi back.

Lin Pingzhi was in a miserable state. Two powerful forces grabbed his arms, with such strong force that they almost tore him in half.

call out--

Yue Buqun appeared behind Lin Pingzhi without knowing when. A layer of purple air appeared on Yue Buqun's face, and he slapped Lin Pingzhi with one palm. A strong and condensed true energy was injected into Lin Pingzhi's body and rushed straight into his arms.

Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, who were holding Lin Pingzhi's arms in a stalemate, felt their palms go numb. The next moment, Lin Pingzhi was grabbed by Yue Buqun and protected behind him.

Chapter 42 Accepting a Disciple

Seeing Yue Buqun suddenly take action and snatch Lin Pingzhi away from Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

After all, Yue Buqun is his master, and people are made of flesh and blood! Moreover, Yue Buqun has done a good job in the past few years that Ye Xiu has been in Huashan, so Ye Xiu is really reluctant to let Yue Buqun become bad, but he has no way to stop it at the moment. Ye Xiu only hopes to get some good things before Yue Buqun gets the Sword Manual of Exorcism, so as to dispel Yue Buqun's bad thoughts.

But then again, Yue Buqun's martial arts skills are still pretty good. At least among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, apart from Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun's martial arts skills should also be pretty good.

For example, he snatched Lin Pingzhi back from Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng without hurting Lin Pingzhi. This shows that Yue Buqun's martial arts is higher than both of them, and even his control over true Qi is quite excellent.

puff-

Lin Pingzhi knelt in front of Yue Buqun and begged him to accept him as his disciple.

This scene made many people present squint their eyes.

It's okay for those with simple minds, who think that Yue Buqun is a gentleman swordsman. If Lin Pingzhi becomes Yue Buqun's disciple, he will have found a good backer.

However, some people who are clear-minded understand that everything Yu Canghai and even Mu Gaofeng have done is now paving the way for Yue Buqun.

However, Yue Buqun had a good reputation, high martial arts skills, and it was Lin Pingzhi who took the initiative to become his disciple, so others could not say anything about it, but just congratulated Yue Buqun for having such a good disciple.

"Okay, since Master Yue has intervened, then I, Mu Tuozi, will withdraw. Bye!" Mu Gaofeng was straightforward and turned around and left.

In fact, Mu Gaofeng was a smart man. He knew that he couldn't snatch Lin Pingzhi away, so he didn't waste his energy. Moreover, Yu Canghai and Lin Pingzhi were both here, which meant that Lin Zhennan and his wife, who were captured by Qingcheng Sect, were most likely near Hengyang City, so he planned to go first and look for Lin Zhennan and his wife.

If he could get the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism from Lin Zhennan and his wife, Lin Pingzhi would be of no use to him.

There were also some people who were smart and, after Mu Gaofeng left, they quietly left the Liu Mansion and began trying to find the whereabouts of Lin Zhennan and his wife.

Originally, Liu Zhengfeng had already retired and the matter was over. Now some people started to leave, and the Liu Mansion gradually became empty.

Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan and the others saw Yue Buqun's serious look after he accepted Lin Pingzhi as his disciple. They understood that Yue Buqun was probably so happy at this moment that he didn't know what was going on.

Especially Yue Lingshan. Originally, because the people from Songshan School did not show up, Yue Lingshan thought that what was written in the diary might not be true, and that her father might not castrate himself to practice sword.

But now, Yue Buqun took the initiative to snatch Lin Pingzhi from Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng. Yue Lingshan felt that Yue Buqun was planning to get the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Afterwards, Yue Lingshan turned her attention to Ye Xiu. Whether she could stop Yue Buqun from going astray depended on Ye Xiu.

If Ye Xiu could mention her often in his diary and write her name more often, she would be able to get more rewards. By then, she would be able to surpass Yue Buqun in strength and maybe even stop Yue Buqun from castrating himself to practice swordsmanship.

"Junior sister? What's wrong?" Ye Xiu suddenly noticed that Yue Buqun was looking at him without blinking, and asked curiously.

"No, nothing. By the way, Senior Brother Ye, do you think it's a good idea for my father to accept Lin Pingzhi as his disciple?" Yue Lingshan was also trying to make small talk.

"Um, well, Master should have his own ideas, but we just can't guess them." Ye Xiu said perfunctorily.

"Maybe. But Lin Pingzhi is still very good-looking, just like a grown-up girl. I just didn't expect him to become like this now." Yue Lingshan said with a laugh.

"Like a grown-up girl?" Ye Xiu was stunned. Yue Lingshan actually said that Lin Pingzhi looked like a grown-up girl?

"Well, I met him when I was in Fujian. At that time, he really looked like a young girl. If he changed into women's clothes, no one would recognize him." Yue Lingshan said in a low voice.

"..." Ye Xiu didn't know what to say.

"Senior Brother Ye, you are still the best looking. Not only are you good-looking, but you don't look like a young girl." Yue Lingshan praised Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, his expression a little subtle.

"Senior Brother Ye, please don't disbelieve me. You are the most handsome man I have ever seen in all these years. Lin Pingzhi is far inferior to you." Yue Lingshan emphasized again.

"Thank you." Ye Xiu smiled at Yue Lingshan, revealing a row of white teeth.

Looking at Ye Xiu's sunny smile, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but blushing slightly.

Lu Dayou and the others nearby saw Yue Lingshan and Ye Xiu talking and laughing in low voices, and Yue Lingshan's cheeks even turned a little red. They felt like a mixture of emotions, and felt particularly unhappy.

As a result, Lin Pingzhi, who had just been temporarily accepted by Yue Buqun, was not paid much attention by Lu Dayou and others.

Lin Pingzhi noticed that other people didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, and he even had the idea that he was being rejected by Lu Dayou and the others.

After all, Lin Pingzhi was complaining about the disaster, so it was inevitable that his mind would be a little sensitive.

"Master, Pingzhi begs you to help me find my parents." Although Lin Pingzhi felt like he was being excluded, he didn't think about it. He knelt down in front of Yue Buqun and begged him to help save people.

"Pingzhi, get up quickly. Even if you don't tell me, I will help you find your parents. After all, you still need your parents' consent for something like becoming their apprentice." Yue Buqun said seriously.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master—"

Just when Yue Buqun was about to take Lin Pingzhi to find someone, Linghu Chong, who was drunk and sleeping on the street, woke up and found himself sleeping on the street, and even slept until the next day. His face changed, especially when he found that the time was wrong, he hurried towards Liu's Mansion.

When Linghu Chong ran to Liu's house, he saw Yue Buqun leading Lin Pingzhi and others leaving Liu's house. The two sides met face to face.

"Master——" Linghu Chong called in a low voice.

When Yue Buqun saw Linghu Chong, who was covered in dirt and reeking of alcohol, his face immediately darkened: "Linghu Chong!!!"

Yue Buqun even called Linghu Chong by his name.

When Linghu Chong heard this, his body trembled, and he knelt directly in front of Yue Buqun: "Master, I was wrong, please punish me."

Chapter 43 Swordsman

Although Linghu Chong made Yue Buqun very angry, he did not immediately say how to punish Linghu Chong. Instead, he planned to punish Linghu Chong after returning to Huashan.

For Yue Buqun, the most important thing at this stage is to find Lin Pingzhi's parents.

So, Yue Buqun began to give orders, and many disciples dispersed to look for Lin Pingzhi's parents.

And Linghu Chong, with the idea of ​​atonement, tried his best to look for Lin Pingzhi's parents everywhere.

Although Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan and the others were also quite serious, they were not as hardworking as Linghu Chong.

"Senior Brother Ye, do you think we can find Lin Pingzhi's parents?" Yue Lingshan asked as she followed Ye Xiu.

"Well, probably, we can find it." Ye Xiu answered perfunctorily.

"Senior Brother Ye, I'm asking you a question very seriously." Yue Lingshan pouted.

"I am also answering your question seriously, Junior Sister." Ye Xiu pretended to be serious.

Yue Lingshan rolled her eyes, then paused and said in a serious tone, "Brother Ye, is it true that my father accepted Lin Pingzhi as his disciple?"

"Of course it's right. After all, my master is Gentleman Sword, a well-known gentleman in the martial arts world. When he sees Lin Pingzhi being persecuted like this, he will of course stop it." Ye Xiu answered seriously.

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but roll her eyes again. If there was no news about the diary that she couldn't tell, Yue Lingshan would definitely take out the diary and directly accuse Ye Xiu of lying.

Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan were a team of two, wandering around outside Hengyang City, when they suddenly heard the faint sound of a piano.

The sound is so faint that it might even be ignored if you don't listen carefully.

Although the sound of the piano was very faint, the intermittent sound made people feel that the sound of the piano was not bad.

When Ye Xiu heard the sound of the piano outside the city of Hengyang, a few words immediately appeared in his mind: "Swordsman Song".

"Junior sister, let's go this way." Ye Xiu said to Yue Lingshan in the direction where the piano sound came from.

“Okay.” Yue Lingshan didn’t care whether she could find Lin Pingzhi’s parents or not. Ye Xiu said to go this way, so she went this way.

As the two people got closer and closer to the direction where the piano sound came from, the sound of the piano finally became clear. It was no longer as weak and intermittent as before. In addition to the sound of the piano, there was also the sound of the flute.

"Hey, Senior Brother Ye, this sound seems very nice!" Yue Lingshan finally heard the sound of the piano and the flute clearly, and her eyes lit up.

"Yes, it sounds very nice! Let's go over and see who is playing the piano and who is playing the flute." Ye Xiu nodded with a smile.

In fact, at this time, Ye Xiu had already determined that the qin and flute ensemble should be "Swordsman". But Ye Xiu did not expect that Liu Zhengfeng would be so impatient.

He had just retired from the underworld, and without dealing with other chores, he ran directly to the outskirts of Hengyang City with Qu Yang to start talking about love - playing the piano and the flute.

Moreover, Ye Xiu had to admit that the piano and flute duet of “Swordsman” was really nice to listen to.

Speaking of which, Ye Xiu actually had no appreciation for instruments like the piano and the flute. Before he traveled through time, apart from listening to some pop songs or what people called "Tuhai" songs, he had no knowledge of music at all.

Whether it was piano music, orchestral music, or guqin or guzheng, Ye Xiu knew nothing about it and didn't know how to appreciate it.

But even so, Ye Xiu still felt that the piano and flute ensemble sounded beautiful, especially beautiful.

Moreover, this ensemble of guqin and flute gave people the feeling that it was just one guqin and one flute playing together, but if you listened carefully, it seemed like seven or eight guqins were playing and seven or eight people were playing the flute together. It was just like a musical group.

And he didn’t know if it was because of preconceived ideas or what, but Ye Xiu also heard a feeling of being a hero in the music. That kind of cool and unrestrained music made people feel open-minded and had the illusion of wanting to be a hero in the world.

"I now understand why Uncle Liu Zhengfeng retired for Qu Yang." Yue Lingshan suddenly said.

"What?" Ye Xiu was focusing most of his attention on the music and was unable to hear clearly what Yue Lingshan said.

"Um, no, nothing. I was just wondering who can play such beautiful music." Yue Lingshan replied quickly.

"We'll find out if we go and take a look." Ye Xiu said, and began to use Qinggong to speed up. Seeing this, Yue Lingshan also hurriedly followed.

Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan walked closer and closer, and finally, after a quarter of an hour, they finally saw the two people playing the piano and music.

They are Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang respectively.

However, besides Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, there were other people present.

A 13 or 14-year-old girl, who looked a bit quirky and cute, was Qu Feiyan. Next to Qu Feiyan was a woman in her twenties, who was pretty but had a heroic and domineering look in her eyes—Dongfang Bai, also known as Dongfang Bubai.

After seeing Dongfang Bubai’s figure, Ye Xiu’s body stiffened a little.

Yue Lingshan, who was next to Ye Xiu, had a flash of panic in her eyes after seeing Dongfang Bubai, and subconsciously grabbed Ye Xiu's arm.

Dongfang Bubai's gaze swept directly over Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan, and even the change in Yue Lingshan's expression made Dongfang Bubai raise his eyebrows.

Because of Yue Lingshan's expression change, Dongfang Bubai suspected that Yue Lingshan knew something. No, to be more precise, Dongfang Bubai suspected that Yue Lingshan might also be one of the owners of the diary.

After all, few people in the martial arts world knew her identity as Dongfang Bubai, unless they had read the diary written by Ye Xiu.

Thinking about it again, Ye Xiu mentioned in his diary that after arriving in Hengyang City, his junior sister ignored Linghu Chong and instead asked him to play with her from time to time. It is very likely that she has the diary, so she started to pester Ye Xiu and wanted him to write her name more in the diary.
