Chapter 111: Invincible in both the black and white worlds
Fuzhou City.
In Fuwei Escort Agency.
The crisis of Fuwei Escort Agency has been resolved.
For several days now, no gangsters have tried to sneak in or break into the Fuwei Escort Agency to fish in troubled waters in order to find the "Bixie Sword Manual".
Seeing that there was no danger anymore, the Fuwei Escort Agency opened the gate that had been closed for many days.
We have reopened to the public and are accepting business.
Two more days passed.
Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan, along with sixteen Qingcheng Sect disciples in casual clothes, stood in front of the steps of the Fuwei Escort Agency's main gate, preparing to return to Qingcheng Mountain.
Lin Zhennan and his wife stood in front of the gate of Fuwei Escort Agency to see them off.
"Dad, Mom, please don't send these things. We can't bring back so much money and food and clothing with just a few of us!"
Lin Pingzhi looked at the nearly ten boxes of money and food, clothing and daily necessities that his parents had ordered people to carry out and piled up like a mountain in front of the Fuwei Escort Agency. He said helplessly.
"Your father didn't tell you to take it back by yourselves. I have arranged nearly a hundred escorts from the Fuwei Escort Agency to personally escort you all the way back to Qingcheng Mountain."
Lin Zhennan waved his hand, and hundreds of strong escorts wearing black shirts and holding swords came out from the yard of Fuwei Escort Agency.
"Uncle, we don't need these things. The Qingcheng Sect is still in danger. We have to travel light and return to the Qingcheng Sect to help Master and Uncle."
Qu Feiyan looked at the hundreds of escorts and the mountains of money, food, clothing and other daily necessities piled up in front of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and she felt a bit of a headache.
In this way, they changed from a small team of more than ten people to a large team of more than a hundred people.
The speed of travel will be slowed down a lot, delaying their return to Qingcheng Mountain.
She herself was injured ten days ago, and after some treatment, her injuries are now fine.
"How can this be done?"
Lin Pingzhi's mother, Madam Lin, also said:
"As the saying goes, courtesy comes with reciprocity. This time, it was because of Miss Qu's master's advance arrangements and arrangements that our Fuwei Escort Agency was saved from disaster. Naturally, our Lin family should return the favor."
Lin Pingzhi wanted to refuse: "But, Dad..."
Lin Zhennan waved his sleeves, anger appeared on his face: "But what? You are too young, do you understand what is the way of the world?"
Lin Pingzhi muttered quietly: "But I don't think my uncle and master will care about this."
Madam Lin said, "It's their business if they don't care. It's our problem whether the Lin family sends or not. We have to be courteous and considerate."
Lin Zhennan said: "Don't worry, I will send escorts from cities along the way to escort you, it won't take up much of your time."
Seeing his parents insisting so much, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but agree: "Okay then."
"Be careful on the road. The Qingcheng Sect is facing such a great crisis now. There are many enemies in the martial arts world. You should avoid them if you can. Go back to Qingcheng Mountain as soon as possible and help the sect to repel the powerful enemies. That is the right thing to do..."
Seeing Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan turn over and get on the horses that the escort agency had arranged for them, Lin Zhennan continued to nag and give them instructions.
Lin Pingzhi was riding on a horse, holding the reins. Although he had an impatient look on his face, he still listened patiently.
"Father and mother, take care!"
"Uncle and aunt, take care!"
Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan patted the horses' backs and were about to ride away.
"Master, there's news from the Qingcheng Sect just now coming from Fuzhou Prefecture!"
Just then, a bodyguard from the Fuwei Escort Agency, dressed in black and tight-fitting clothes, came running quickly from the street in the distance. He looked happy and shouted as he ran.
"what news?"
Upon hearing the news from the Qingcheng Sect, Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan were no longer in a hurry to return. They immediately dismounted and said to the escort agent from the escort agency who ran up to them.
"Five days ago, nearly 7,000 people from the underworld martial arts world and the righteous sects besieged Qingcheng Mountain at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain..."
The escort agent from the escort agency ran up to Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan, breathing heavily.
After saying this, he took a breath.
"and then?"
After listening to this, Lin Zhennan, who was standing next to him, became anxious when he saw that the escort did not reveal the key information.
The Qingcheng Sect is now the biggest backer of the Fuwei Escort Agency. If the Qingcheng Sect falls, the Fuwei Escort Agency will face a huge disaster.
"The swordsmanship of Qingcheng Sword Immortal is superb, and his martial arts are unparalleled. At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, he injured 500 underworld martial artists and repelled more than a thousand of them. Later, he fought with the righteous sects, outnumbered them and won two battles in a row. He first defeated Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple, Chong Xiao from Wudang Sect, Mo Da from Five Mountains Sect, Tianmen, Jie Feng, leader of Beggar Gang, Pan Hou, leader of East China Sea Sand Gang, Xia Ji from Liuhe Sect, Tie Lao Lao from Three Gorges Goddess Peak, and Lu Xisi, the magic pen of Eryou from Qujiang Sect."
After the escort caught his breath, he continued.
"One man defeats a thousand enemies!"
Lin Pingzhi's eyes were filled with shock, and he muttered to himself.
When it comes to dealing with those underworld and martial arts people, let alone a thousand of them, even if a hundred of them join forces, he might not necessarily be their match.
However, his uncle-master was able to defeat thousands of enemies. He felt that his uncle-master's martial arts skills were no longer that of an ordinary person.
"These nine righteous masters, no matter which one, are all masters who are feared by the world. But even if they join forces, they are still defeated by the Qingcheng Sword Immortal."
After hearing this, Lin Zhennan opened his mouth slightly, with shock evident on his face.
Because the Fuwei Escort Agency wants to do business, it has to know clearly about who should be provoked and who should not be provoked in the underworld.
He knew all the nine masters mentioned by the escort. They were all local masters who were famous in a prefecture or a city.
Among them are Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple, Chong Xiao from Wudang Sect, as well as masters from major sects such as Jie Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
The strength of this Qingcheng Sword Immortal is truly unbelievable.
"Didn't they say there were two fights? What about the other one?"
Qu Feiyan asked again.
Compared to Lin Pingzhi and Lin Zhennan, father and son, who showed surprise on their faces after hearing the news, her expression was the calmest.
Because she spent the most time with her master and knew her master's strength best, others were surprised at her master's record. However, she felt that although her master's record was unexpectedly strong, it was normal.
"There is another one, where the Qingcheng Swordsman fights alone against four sect leaders. These four sect leaders are the Shaolin Temple abbot Master Fangzheng, the Wudang Sect leader Taoist Chongxu, the Five Mountains Sect leader Yue Buqun, and the Kunlun Sect leader Zhenshanzi..."
The escort master continued.
"Among them...except for Zhen Shanzi, who is not well-known."
“The abbot of Shaolin Temple Fang Zheng and the head of Wudang Sect Chongxu are both top masters in the martial arts world. The head of the Five Mountains Sect Yue Buqun is also a master who has just risen in recent times. He was able to kill the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect Zuo Lengchan, and merged the Five Mountains Sword Sect into the Five Mountains Sect by himself. His strength must be not weak. Even if the four of them join forces, they are still no match for the Qingcheng Sword Immortal!”
After hearing what his escort master said, Lin Zhennan felt that his three views were shattered.
He knew Chu Yuan was strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.
After all, he is a man who can be on friendly terms with the Demon Cult leader Dongfang Bubai.
If your strength is too weak, how can you get the appreciation and recognition of Dongfang Bubai?
But Chu Yuan's previous battle record was only in the Fuwei Escort Agency, where he defeated several masters and leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, as well as the Five Mountains leader Zuo Lengchan!
In the martial arts world, he is considered a top master.
But at most, his strength is comparable to that of the Shaolin Temple's abbot Fangzheng or the Wudang Sect's leader Chongxu.
Who knew that this time, even the four masters joining forces were no match for Chu Yuan.
What's more, Chu Yuan fought three battles in a row and won all three, each time with a small force against a much larger one. This is already so strong that he doesn't seem like a mortal!
"In this case, isn't the crisis of my Qingcheng Sect resolved?"
Lin Pingzhi didn't think so much. After hearing the news, he just thought that his uncle was powerful, then he put the matter behind him and started to care about the safety of Qingcheng Sect.
"Yes, Young Master, the crisis of Qingcheng Sect has been resolved."
The escort nodded.
"The Qingcheng Sword Immortal defeated the many with a small force, and successively defeated the black and white forces, shocking the martial arts world."
"This news has spread all over the world in a few days. Now the martial arts world has regarded this Qingcheng Sword Immortal as a master on par with the Demon Cult leader Dongfang Bubai."
"In addition, after being defeated by the Qingcheng Sect, the righteous sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Wuyue were too ashamed to stay in Shu and have already left with their people and returned to their respective sects."
The escort nodded.
"It's good that it's solved. It's great that it's solved."
Lin Zhennan kept nodding.
Now it seems that his trade of "Bixie Sword Manual" with Qingcheng Sect not only resolved the crisis of Fuwei Escort Agency and Lin family, but his decision to let his only son Lin Pingzhi join Qingcheng Sect was also extremely wise.
From now on, the Qingcheng Sect will become the Fuwei Escort Agency, a real backer in the martial arts world.
No one dared to offend the Fuwei Escort Agency easily anymore because they were protected by the Qingcheng Sect.
The days when Fuwei Escort Agency and the Lin family were targeted by many people with ulterior motives in the martial arts world because of a book called "Bixie Sword Manual" are gone forever.
"Pingzhi, Feiyan, since the crisis of Qingcheng Sect has been resolved, you can stay at Fuwei Escort Agency and rest for a while. Especially Feiyan, it won't be too late to return to Qingcheng Sect after your injuries are healed."
Lin Zhennan suggested.
"No, uncle. It's a bit unreasonable for us not to be with the sect when it's in danger. Now that the crisis is over, we should naturally rush back as soon as possible."
Qu Feiyan shook her head and refused.
If she didn't go back, she felt that her master and the evil witch would have a baby! Her room in the courtyard would probably be occupied by the evil witch.
She will be kicked out of the yard from now on.
"Yes, Dad and Mom, I think what Junior Sister said makes sense."
Lin Pingzhi nodded in support.
What's right?
As a man, can you have some independent opinion?
And in front of a girl who is a few years younger than you!
Lin Zhennan felt somewhat disappointed.
However, he only dared to think about this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Because Qu Feiyan is Chu Yuan's disciple.
He felt a little regretful at this moment.
No matter what, he should have let his son become a disciple of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal.
Although Yu Canghai, whom his son worshipped, had a high status in the Qingcheng Sect and was the sect's leader, his status was not as high as that of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal.
"vomit!"
At this moment, Mrs. Lin on the side suddenly retched, covered her stomach and walked to the corner of the wall to vomit, but nothing came out.
For a moment, the surrounding escorts, the Qingcheng Sect disciples who came down the mountain together, as well as Qu Feiyan and Lin Pingzhi, all looked at Madam Lin.
"Dad, what happened to my mom? Is she sick or feeling unwell?"
Lin Pingzhi wanted to go up to check, but two of his mother's personal maids had already come forward. Lin Pingzhi could only look at his father Lin Zhennan and ask.
Qu Feiyan turned her head and looked at Lin Zhennan with a strange look, then looked at Lin Pingzhi and shook her head, as if she felt sorry for him.
Lin Zhennan's face turned red under everyone's gaze.
"Pingzhi, it's nothing. Didn't you go to the mountains to be a Taoist priest? And the family business needs someone to inherit, so your father, your mother and I wanted to have another child. Before you came back, the doctor diagnosed that your mother was pregnant."
Lin Zhennan pretended to remain calm and explained to Lin Pingzhi in a calm manner.
Lin Pingzhi: ???
That is to say, in the near future, he will have a younger brother or sister who will compete with him for the family property!
"But... Dad, even though our Qingcheng Sect is a Taoist sect, we now allow marriage!"
Lin Pingzhi had mixed emotions, feeling as if he had been abandoned by his parents.
"Fei Yan, is what he said true?"
Lin Zhennan turned his gaze towards Qu Feiyan.
"Uncle, what he said is true. The Qingcheng Sect used to be just a Taoist temple on Qingcheng Mountain. It belonged to the Quanzhen Sect and did not allow marriage. But after the many Taoist temples on the mountain merged, the Zhengyi and Quanzhen sects all came into being, so the rule against marriage naturally disappeared."
Qu Feiyan nodded.
She actually hoped that the Qingcheng Sect had a rule that prohibited marriage.
"Well... anyway, your mother is already pregnant. You are the older brother and the disciple of the head of Qingcheng Sect. After he (she) is born, you have to take better care of him (her), understand?"
Then Lin Zhennan stopped pretending and said directly.
Whether Lin Pingzhi could marry and have children was just an excuse for the couple.
The real reason was that Lin Pingzhi was too far away from the couple, and they felt lonely without a child around them, so they decided to regenerate one.
From now on, I will let my eldest son be a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain.
The two sons inherited the family business and each had his own development trajectory.
How good!
"Why should I take care of him?"
When Lin Pingzhi heard that his father Lin Zhennan asked him to take care of his unborn brother, he felt a little unhappy.
In the past, if he was unhappy as a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain, he could return home and inherit the Fuwei Escort Agency's business, but he probably won't have a share of the business in the future.
This time when he came back, the bodyguard at home called him Young Master, probably for the last time.
Next time when he comes back, these escorts will only call him "Young Master".
"Because he is your brother."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Lin Pingzhi's words, the little bit of guilt in Lin Zhennan's heart immediately disappeared without a trace. He frowned, looking like he was ready to fight if they disagreed.
"It could also be my sister."
After vomiting for a while, Mrs. Lin, who was supported by her maid and walked over, felt much better and added something.
"Let's go, Junior Sister, let's go back to Qingcheng Mountain."
Lin Pingzhi immediately jumped on his horse. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. His younger brother (sister) hadn't been born yet, and he felt like an outsider.
He wanted to leave this sad place.
"Uncle, aunt, goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Qu Feiyan also stepped into the stirrup and mounted the horse.
The team set out and walked out of the city.
"Master, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to treat Pingzhi like this?"
Looking at Lin Pingzhi who rode away on his horse without saying anything, Mrs. Lin said with some concern.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm already pregnant, so it's good enough to tell him."
After seeing them walk away, Lin Zhennan carefully helped Mrs. Lin into the Fuwei Escort Agency.
……
Return to Qingcheng Sect.
Chu Yuan saw two familiar faces in Yuanyun Pavilion.
Master Jin Guang and Taoist Master Song Wen.
"When did you two come?"
Chu Yuan wondered.
"Junior brother, Master Jin Guang and Taoist Master Song Wen have been in Qingcheng Mountain for a few days. This time they brought more than a hundred disciples from the Emei Sect. They have been at the entrance of the mountain road in the back mountain, helping Ren Xiong, Ren Hao, Ren Jie and others to resist the evil martial artists in the back mountain."
Yu Canghai said to Chu Yuan with a smile.
Next to him stood an old woman who was nearly fifty years old. Although her hair was already gray, she had a dignified temperament. It was obvious that she must have been a beautiful lady from a wealthy family when she was young.
"Thank you very much for coming to help from Emei Sect."
Chu Yuan thanked them both.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. When Qingcheng Sect was besieged by both the black and white martial arts circles, the Emei Sect chose to come to the aid of Qingcheng Sect at such a great risk, which shows that the Emei Sect is a true ally of Qingcheng Sect.
"There, with the strength of the Qingcheng Sect and the peerless martial arts of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, we can overcome this crisis even if our Emei Sect cannot come."
The head of Emei Sect, Master Jin Guang, bowed.
In fact, when they learned that the Qingcheng Sect was besieged by both the black and white forces.
The two brothers debated for several hours about whether or not to rush to the aid of Qingcheng Sect.
final decision!
save!
From the resignation meeting in Hengshan City, it can be seen that the Qingcheng Sect is now much stronger than before, and masters are emerging in large numbers.
Two young disciples who were no more than in their teens or even twenty years old were able to defeat or even kill such martial arts masters as the Thirteen Guardians of the Songshan Sect, Nine-Curve Sword Zhong Zhen, and the Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin.
This time, masters from both the black and white worlds came together to besiege and attack Qingcheng Mountain.
It looks very grand.
In fact, there are only three sects with real influence: Shaolin, Wudang and the Five Mountains.
The rest were invited by Shaolin and Wudang to help, so it is hard to say whether they can really try their best.
Not to mention the underworld martial arts world, which is just a mob that only wants to snatch the secret manuals of magical skills and take advantage of the situation to rob. Although there are many people, there are very few masters.
This move is also a gamble.
Right bet!
You can gain the friendship of a big sect in the martial arts world.
If you bet wrong, just start over.
Anyway, the Emei Sect has been in decline for many years.
In fact, it proves that the Emei Sect made the right bet this time.
The two of them remembered their dumbfounded expressions and feelings when they learned in the back mountain an hour ago that the Qingcheng Sect had defeated nine masters of the righteous sects and four sect leaders with only the Qingcheng Sword Immortal.
Before this, this Qingcheng Sword Immortal had fought against a thousand enemies alone and injured five hundred of them, forcing all the underworld martial artists in the front and back mountains to retreat.
"Yes, this time the Qingcheng Sword Immortal fought against a large force with a small number of people. He first defeated the black martial artists, and then defeated nine masters of the righteous sects, as well as the heads of the four sects of Shaolin, Wudang, Five Mountains, and Kunlun. He defeated the invincible opponents of both the black and white sects. Even the former powerful Yuantu Gong may not be able to compare with the Qingcheng Sword Immortal. Only the legendary Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng can be compared with the Qingcheng Sword Immortal. This time, Taoist Master Chu is likely to make a big splash and become famous all over the world."
Master Jin Guang's junior fellow Taoist priest Song Wen also stood beside Master Jin Guang and spoke.
