Chapter 60: Inner and outer!
Xin Zhen said: "If you can sit back and watch the Huashan Qi Sect fall, then we will completely stay away from the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
This time when Master went down the mountain, he went to make it clear to Zuo Lengchan that our Sword Sect has nothing to do with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Zuo Lengchan is concerned about our fighting power. From now on, we just need to keep out of each other's way. This way, our Sword Sect can avoid the internal strife among the Five Mountains Sword Sects.
In addition, we have maintained good relations with Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun and other major sects. With your connections, Master, we can probably save ourselves in the upcoming battle between good and evil."
Feng Qingyang sighed and said, "Has the situation really become so serious?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Zuo Lengchan is ambitious, and Songshan is the only dominant sect. Next, he wants to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects. The other sects will definitely not be willing to have their hundreds of years of inheritance swallowed up, so the next struggle will be extremely bloody.
There are only a few cats and dogs from Huashan Qi Sect. There is no way they can survive in this kind of struggle. With the Demon Cult lurking nearby, I don’t think they have a chance of survival.”
Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping and the other two and said, "Buping, Buyou, Buqi, you guys decide on this matter."
The expressions of Feng Buping and the other two kept changing. Sometimes they were filled with hatred, sometimes they looked nostalgic, and then they became confused.
Xin Zhen asked: "Three senior brothers?"
Feng Buping whispered: "I don't know either."
Xin Zhen looked at Cheng Buyou, who smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that I wanted to kill Qi Zong as soon as possible, but when I thought about the Huashan Sect being slaughtered, I felt very sad. I really don't know what choice to make."
Xin Zhen looked at Cong Buqi. Among the three abandoned disciples of the Sword Sect, Cong Buqi had the most narrow-minded mind and the most clear about what he loved and hated.
Cong Buqi lay on the recliner, gritting his teeth, but after a while, the hatred on his face gradually dissipated. Seeing Xin Zhen looking at him, he smiled bitterly: "Think about it carefully, Huashan has come to this point now. It seems ridiculous to insist on our hatred."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "So, everyone doesn't want to see the Huashan Sect destroyed, right?"
Feng Qingyang shook his head and said, "The dispute over sword energy is originally a very ridiculous thing. After all, it is just a dispute within the Huashan Sect. If our Sword Sect watches them being slaughtered, we will inevitably be criticized in the martial arts world."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Do the three brothers think so too?"
Feng Buping sighed and said, "Master uncle is right. We can't just sit back and watch."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That means we have no way to avoid it."
Cheng Buyou said with some guilt: "Junior brother, I dragged you in, but you have to face such a thing..."
Xin Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary. It's normal to have difficulties. The key is that everyone should be united. The rest is nothing more than a means of forming alliances.
The situation is critical now, but as long as we can see the general trend clearly, we may not be unable to survive. There are things we can use, and it may be a good opportunity for the Sword Sect to develop."
Feng Qingyang said with relief: "It is indeed the right thing to let Zhen'er be the head of the sect. Just make the arrangements and we will listen to you."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's good that everyone can trust me. I have said it before. I will use various means among the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Shaolin, Wudang and other major sects. Sometimes it may not seem so fair, but please rest assured, Master and brothers, everything I do is for the good of our Sword Sect."
Feng Buping nodded and said, "Junior brother, just go ahead and do it. If there are things that are inconvenient for you to do, just let me do it. I can do any dirty work."
Cheng Buyou nodded and said, "Brother is right. Junior brother, you can be the face of our Sword Sect. The three of us can be the inside of the Sword Sect. There are some dirty jobs that you shouldn't do, so let the three of us do them!"
Lin Pingzhi had been listening for so long without being able to interrupt, so he said, "Master, if you have anything to do, just ask me to do it."
Feng Qingyang looked at his disciples and nephews working together and said with great relief, "Now that you brothers are united, I have great confidence in the rise of the Sword Sect." They agreed to go down the mountain the next day. Xin Zhen thought that it would take a long time to go down the mountain, so he thought about going to see Linghu Chong. He also had another important thing to do, so he went to the East Peak under the cover of night.
The journey was not easy, but fortunately Xin Zhen had strong internal strength and great lightness skills, so it was not particularly difficult for him to reach Huashan Sect.
But now the entire Huashan Sect was silent, and all the houses were plunged into darkness, with only one room next to the Zhengqi Hall having a light on.
Xin Zhen entered quietly, but saw no sign of Linghu Chong inside. Instead, Lu Dayou and his six monkeys were lying on the bed. Xin Zhen's face changed slightly, he felt Lu Dayou's pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xin Zhen saw the Zixia Divine Art dropped nearby, so he reached out and picked it up. It was a thin book, and Xin Zhen opened it and started reading, turning the pages one by one. In just a short while, the contents were firmly memorized in his mind.
Then he gently touched the acupuncture points on Liu Houer's body, then slipped out and found a secret place to watch the scene inside the house.
After a while, Liu Houer woke up in shock and saw the Zixia secret book that had fallen to the side. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he could not see the eldest brother, and he became even more anxious, and quickly shouted: "Elder brother! Elder brother!"
There were hurried footsteps outside. Lu Dayou thought it was Linghu Chong and shouted in great joy, "Big Brother! Is that you?"
A figure flashed at the door, and Lu Dayou took a look and found it was his second senior brother Lao Denuo.
Lao Denuo looked inside the room and saw the Zixia Secret Book in Lu Dayou's hand. He narrowed his eyes and asked in surprise, "Where is the senior brother?"
Lu Dayou calmly put the Zixia secret book into his sleeve and said, "Big Brother pressed my acupoints, but I don't know where he went!"
Lao Denuo said anxiously: "Why would the senior brother press your acupoints? Are you trying to commit suicide? Come on, let's go find him."
As he said that, he jumped out of the house. Lu Dayou also hurried out, and Lao Denuo looked stern.
Suddenly, a soft humming sound was heard in the night wind. Laudenuo was startled and dared not move anymore.
The two searched for Linghu Chong nearby for a long time but didn't see him, so they went back into the house to look for him, thinking that the eldest brother might have gone out to relieve himself and had come back, but unfortunately the house was still empty.
But after a while, Xin Zhen outside the house heard the footsteps of three people in front of him and the voice of Yue Buqun, so he quietly went up the mountain and came to the Cliff of Repentance.
Xin Zhen entered the Siguo Cliff Cave, split the stone wall with one palm, and then took a torch to write down the sword techniques of various schools in it according to categories. With his memory, it only took him one night to complete the task, and then he returned to the North Peak under the cover of night.
The next day, Xin Zhen went down the mountain early. Facing the rising sun, a flash of purple appeared on Xin Zhen's face, and he couldn't help but smile.
Last night he studied the Zixia secret book carefully, and circulated his qi according to the method. The qi circulation in his body has changed.
Just after being illuminated by the morning sun, the energy in his body was tinged with a hint of purple.
As Xin Zhen hurried down the mountain, this wisp of purple energy continued to be contaminated by other internal forces, just like pouring a small bottle of purple paint into a bucket of white paint. As it was stirred, more and more purple appeared in the white paint.
As the purple part became more and more, Xin Zhen felt that he was becoming lighter and lighter, and his speed was actually getting faster and faster, while the internal energy consumed for the same distance was greatly reduced.
Xin Zhen secretly admired: It really deserves to be the first of the Nine Merits of Mount Huashan!
