Chapter 170
It was precisely because he knew that he could not keep Zhu Yuyan that Ning Daoqi stopped after one round of fighting.
In fact, Ning Dao wondered why he came to Zhu Yuyan. Mainly because he accepted Cihang Jingzhai's commission and wanted to see if Zhu Yuyan had really become a great master.
If Zhu Yuyan becomes the Grand Master and Ning Daoqi can keep Zhu Yuyan, then let Ning Daoqi keep Zhu Yuyan. If they can't stay, they must let Zhu Yuyan know that there is also a great master standing behind Cihang Jingzhai, so that Zhu Yuyan cannot attack Cihang Jingzhai at will.
Chapter 224 Linghu Chong’s Suspicion
"Cihang Jingzhai! Ning Daoqi!"
After Ning Daoqi left, Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan stood there for a long time without leaving. Instead, after a moment of silence, she read out these seven words one by one.
Zhu Yuyan's eyes flashed with a sharp look.
She used the power of the diary to successfully advance to Grand Master. Originally, she thought she could show off her skills and kill the evil king Shi Zhixuan. She could join the two factions of the Sui Dynasty, the Six Paths, and crush Ci Hangjing in one fell swoop. Zhai and Jingnian Chanyuan are so-called prestigious and upright sects.
But before she could take any action, Ning Daoqi came to her door.
The most important thing is that Zhu Yuyan is not Ning Daoqi's opponent.
The heart that was originally swollen because of her promotion to become a grand master cooled down instantly, and then Zhu Yuyan immediately thought of the diary that allowed her to advance to become a grand master.
"The first level of Grand Master is far from enough! If I can get more benefits from the diary -" Zhu Yuyan's eyes gradually lit up.
"The favorability of the person who wrote the diary and the number of times it was mentioned in the diary are the key to whether I can get more benefits - maybe I also need to go to the Ming Dynasty, or let Wan Wan brought the opponent from the Ming Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. However, the most important thing now is to kill Shi Zhixuan!"
"Shi Zhixuan, where are you hiding?"
Zhu Yuyan thought of Shi Zhixuan, and a murderous intention emerged from the bottom of her heart.
…
"I'm finally back." Linghu Chong looked at the familiar mountain gate with a mixture of nostalgia, sigh, and sadness.
Compared to Linghu Chong, Ye Xiu and the others were full of joy.
As for Wanwan and others who joined later and had never been to Huashan before, they were now looking at Huashan with curiosity.
They were curious about what the place where Ye Xiu, the owner of the diary, lived before was like.
"Master, Master, I'm sorry for you." Ye Xiu handed the secret book of Rama's inner strength created by Zhang Sanfeng to Ning Zhongze, who he obtained from Zhang Sanfeng, and asked Ning Zhongze to pass it on to Yue Buqun.
As for whether Yue Buqun will practice Rama's inner strength, it depends on Yue Buqun's own choice. Whether Yue Buqun wants to become a man again, or whether he wants to continue to be neither a man nor a woman - no, Yes, I still want to be a woman.
If Yue Buqun wants to be a man, then he should practice Rama's inner strength and try to let his roots grow back as soon as possible. If Yue Buqun thinks women are better, then let Ning Zhongze tell Yue Buqun that the famous murderer Ping Yizhi has begun to study how to transplant women's organs into people, and let Yue Buqun wait patiently and wait for Ping Yizhi. After successfully researching this technique, Yue Buqun was operated on.
In this way, Yue Buqun will either become a man again or directly become a woman.
No matter what Yue Buqun chooses, it will always be better than his current appearance of neither male nor female.
"Okay, I'll go find your master right now." Ning Zhong nodded, took the martial arts secret book, and went to find Yue Buqun.
Linghu Chong, who was originally looking complicated because he returned to the Huashan Sect and was even immersed in memories, felt a little strange after hearing the conversation between Ye Xiu and Ning Zhongze. He didn't quite understand the conversation between the two. According to this conversation between Ye Xiu and Ning Zhongze, it seems that there is something wrong with his master Yue Buqun?
"Master's wife, what happened to my master?" Linghu Chong asked quickly.
Hearing that Linghu Chong was concerned about Yue Buqun, Ning Zhong glanced at Linghu Chong with a complicated expression.
If Linghu Chong had given the sword technique of Dugu Nine Swords to Yue Buqun after he obtained the Dugu Nine Swords, Yue Buqun would never have gone to his own palace to practice swordsmanship. Now that Linghu Chong was caring about Yue Buqun, even though Ning Zhongze also knew that Linghu Chong really cared about Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze still felt that Linghu Chong looked like this was a bit disgusting.
Ning Zhong took a deep breath and forced a smile: "No, it's nothing. Your master is practicing in seclusion during this period. He doesn't want outsiders to disturb him."
"Really? Master, is he really practicing in seclusion, instead of something happening?" Linghu Chong couldn't help but frown, because Ning Zhongze didn't look like Yue Buqun was fine.
Although Linghu Chong was very out of character, had no sense of responsibility, and even had many shortcomings, he did care about Yue Buqun, although his concern was a bit inadequate to a certain extent. , even a little biased.
So Ning Zhongze's current behavior made Linghu Chong feel more and more that something might have happened to his master Yue Buqun.
"What could happen? This is Huashan. It's very safe. Your master is living a good life now and even feels very happy. Don't think too much." Ning Zhongze had to say this to Linghu Chong.
Ning Zhongze was a little soft-hearted after all and didn't want Linghu Chong to know about Yue Buqun's situation. Because Ning Zhongze knew that Linghu Chong would definitely feel guilty if he knew about Yue Buqun's situation, but Ning Zhongze was still reluctant to make Linghu Chong feel guilty about Yue Buqun's matter.
After all, even if many of Linghu Chong's things and actions disappoint Ning Zhongze, who made Linghu Chong the one Ning Zhongze grew up watching?
Just like parents, even if they encounter an unfilial son, even if the unfilial son does too much and even makes the parents sick with anger, they still can't help but think of their son when something happens.
Ning Zhong treated Linghu Chong in the same way.
Linghu Chong looked at Ning Zhongze who was trying hard to hide something, but he felt more and more uneasy in his heart. He felt that something might really have happened to his master Yue Buqun, otherwise his wife wouldn't be like this.
It's just that Ning Zhongze tried hard to hide it and didn't want Linghu Chong to know, so Linghu Chong understood that Ning Zhongze would not tell him the truth.
So Linghu Chong pretended that he didn't know anything at first, and then he went to investigate secretly.
After all, he knew that something was wrong with Yue Buqun, but he remained indifferent? He can't do this kind of thing.
"Well, Master, you must notify me after Master's retreat is over. I can go and see Master!" Linghu Chong said to Ning Zhongze with a smile.
"Yes, I will. I will inform you as soon as possible after your master's retreat is over." Ning Zhong saw that Linghu Chong did not continue to ask questions and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master's wife, I have been away from Huashan for a while, and I haven't seen the junior brothers for a long time. I went to find the junior brothers and them." Linghu Chong said to Ning Zhongze.
"Well, go ahead, Liang Fa, Shi Daizi and the others also miss you very much."
Linghu Chong seemed to be smiling and went to find Liang Fa Shi and Dai Zi.
"Elder brother, you are finally back!"
"It's great to have you back, Senior Brother."
"Elder brother, where have you been for such a long time? Why didn't you come back sooner!"
"Elder brother..."
Liang Fa, Shi Daizi and the others were also very happy after seeing Linghu Chong.
After all, before Linghu Chong left Huashan, Liang Fa and Shi Daizi followed Linghu Chong.
After Linghu Chong left Huashan, Ye Xiu didn't have much contact with Liang Fa and the others.
Especially later, Ning Zhong began to supervise their practice, and his attitude was even very strict. They had to work for enough hours every day, and they had to be very serious every time they practiced. It can be said that Ning Zhongze was much stricter than Linghu Chong back then.
Later, even Yue Lingshan was busy practicing every day and had no time to play with these senior brothers.
This also made Liang Fa and the others feel very uncomfortable.
He was supervised by Ning Zhongze and even Yue Lingshan every day, and he practiced martial arts intensively. This made them miss Linghu Chong even more.
Even though they had faced a crisis in which the Huashan sect was almost wiped out before, they just thought about practicing hard to improve their strength. But after that energy passed, they returned to normal.
Then they missed Linghu Chong even more. After all, when Linghu Chong supervised them, he never took it seriously. Every time he practiced, even Linghu Chong himself was a little perfunctory, and Liang Fa and the others were naturally even more perfunctory. .
It's more of a play than a practice.
Therefore, Liang Fa and the others really hoped that Linghu Chong could come back and everything would go back to the way it was before, as relaxed and playful as before.
It can be said that Liang Fa and other disciples of the Huashan Sect were really ruined by Linghu Chong.
As a disciple of the Jianghu sect, I don't think about practicing to improve my strength. All I think about every day is playing. Especially after experiencing a life and death crisis, I still have this mentality and thoughts.
Fortunately, there were only a few people who had this idea. Later, after the Huashan Sect formed an alliance with the Wudang Sect, they recruited many new disciples.
Ning Zhongze monitors these new disciples more strictly. Although they will not become Juan Wang, at least they will not focus on martial arts training like Liang Fa and his disciples.
"Junior Brother Liang, Junior Brother Shi, Junior Brother Ying..." Linghu Chong saw Liang Fa and the others so happy, and he also greeted these people happily.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the feeling of unfamiliarity caused by Linghu Chong's absence quickly subsided.
"Junior Brother Liang, Huashan looks a lot more lively now than before!" Linghu Chong looked not far away, where many Huashan sect disciples were practicing basic skills.
"Well, it is indeed more lively than before. Recently, our Huashan has recruited a lot of disciples. Up and down, the total number is almost over a hundred." Liang Fa nodded.
"Almost over a hundred? Then our Huashan is really going to prosper. Master, he must be happy now. After all, our master has always wanted to promote the Huashan Sect." Linghu Chong said, Change the topic to Yue Buqun.
"Master - he should be very happy." Liang Fa and Shi Daizi looked at each other and then said.
"What? You look like this, as if you haven't seen Master for a long time?" Linghu Chong asked with a smile.
"Well, Senior Brother, it's true that we haven't seen Master for a while." Liang Fa hesitated for a moment and then replied.
"Huh? Why? Isn't Master in Huashan? Why haven't you seen Master in a while?"
"Well, in fact, after you left Huashan, Senior Brother, Master often retreated. He came out once in a while, which was very short, and then went back to retreat. Recently, Master has begun to retreat for a long time. We have been in retreat for a long time. I have never seen Master." Shi Daizi told what he knew about the situation.
"Master, does he often retreat?" Linghu Chong frowned.
"Yes. I don't know if Master wants to break through the realm of cultivation or what. Anyway, he has rarely appeared in front of us a long time ago. In recent times, even if Master Niang and Junior Sister leave Huashan, Master will Instead of standing up to take charge of matters at Huashan, Master Mistress even asked Lin Pingzhi to take care of these new disciples." Shi Daizi said a little indignantly.
"That's right, we all started school earlier than Lin Pingzhi. We are all senior brothers. After our Huashan sect accepted the disciples, the master's wife asked Lin Pingzhi to take care of us and refused to let us come. It's obvious that Lin Pingzhi is a pretty boy—— " Ying Bailuo's tone was mixed with envy and even jealousy towards Lin Pingzhi.
"This may be because Master Niang wants you to concentrate on practicing martial arts. As for Lin Pingzhi, Master Niang knows that he has poor martial arts qualifications, so she asked him to arrange those chores." Linghu Chong also felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Ning Zhongze's arrangement. But he didn't say it directly, instead he made an excuse casually.
Hearing what Linghu Chong said, Shi Dai Ziliang and the others looked at each other in shock.
Ning Zhong left the affairs of the Huashan Sect to Lin Pingzhi to handle. Naturally, their senior brothers were envious, jealous, and even a little dissatisfied with Lin Pingzhi.
So when Ning Zhongze and the others left Huashan for the Wudang Sect, they also made trouble for Lin Pingzhi. When Lin Pingzhi was teaching the new disciples of the Huashan Sect to practice, they provoked Lin Pingzhi and even took the initiative to challenge Lin Pingzhi. Lin Pingzhi launched a challenge.
It's just that Lin Pingzhi has concentrated on practicing martial arts since he entered Huashan. He wishes he could practice martial arts 24 hours a day. Even though his martial arts qualifications are not very outstanding, under this kind of high-intensity practice, his speed of improvement has improved. But it's not too slow.
Especially after Ye Xiu avenged Lin Pingzhi, Lin Pingzhi seemed to let go of his heart, and his martial arts practice became faster.
Then Shi Daizi, Liang Fa, and other disciples of the Huashan Sect who had started early, lost to Lin Pingzhi when they fought against him.
In full view of the public, in front of many new disciples of the Huashan Sect, they lost to Lin Pingzhi and felt so embarrassed that they even wanted to avoid Lin Pingzhi when walking in the future.
Linghu Chong now said that Lin Pingzhi's martial arts qualifications were not good, so wouldn't those of them who lost to Lin Pingzhi be even worse?
"What's wrong? Why do you guys look so ugly?" Linghu Chong couldn't help but ask when he saw Liang Fa and the others' faces.
"No, it's nothing. In fact, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts qualifications are pretty good."
"Yes, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts qualifications are quite good."
"Of course, there is no comparison between Lin Pingzhi and Senior Brother you."
Liang Fa and the others hesitated.
Seeing them like this, Linghu Chong couldn't help but frown again. He even guessed that Liang Fa and the others might have become Lin Pingzhi's men and were defeated.
However, Linghu Chong himself didn't care much about this, because Liang Fa and the others' strength was not taken seriously by Linghu Chong. Lin Pingzhi could defeat Liang Fa and the others, but his strength was not much better.
What Linghu Chong is most concerned about now is actually Yue Buqun's problem.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about him anymore. How is my junior sister now? She seems to have changed a lot since I left?" Linghu Chong took the opportunity to ask about Yue Lingshan's situation.
"Little Junior Sister - Little Junior Sister, she doesn't know if she has gone crazy or something. Ever since Senior Brother you left, she has been practicing martial arts continuously. She spent most of the day practicing martial arts. Little Junior Sister Junior sister hasn't come to play with us for a long time." Liang Fa looked frustrated.
Shi Daiziying Bailuo and the others also nodded dejectedly.
I have said before that these disciples of the Huashan Sect actually have some thoughts about Yue Lingshan in their hearts. It is just because Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong were so closely concerned that they could only suppress such small thoughts. Deep down in my heart, it has never been revealed.
Therefore, when Yue Lingshan suddenly started practicing martial arts and stopped coming to play with them, they would inevitably feel a little disappointed.
"Junior sister, she spends most of her time practicing martial arts? That's right. Otherwise, junior sister, she wouldn't have the kind of cultivation she has now -" Linghu Chong said this, but he still couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, because Yue Lingshan The speed of strength growth is too fast, and it is not normal at all.
According to Linghu Chong's opinion, if Yue Lingshan's strength could reach the innate level, she was lucky. But now, Yue Lingshan has reached the sixth level of Xiantian cultivation, and her cultivation is almost reaching the late Xiantian stage.
"Anyway, we feel that Junior Sister has changed a lot."
"It's all because of that Ye Xiu——"
"That's right, Ye Xiu's pretty boy has provoked so many women, but it's no wonder that Junior Sister is also coming to Ye Xiu's side."
"He's just a pretty boy."
Liang Fa Shi Dai Zi and the others kept talking to each other, and the more they went overboard, the more excited they became. If they continued to talk at this level, Ye Xiu would probably turn into a heinous bad guy in their eyes.
And listening to what Shi Dai Ziliang told them, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel approval in his heart. He still felt that such a big change in the junior sister's attitude must have something to do with that pretty boy Ye Xiu——
After everyone denounced Ye Xiu, Linghu Chong began to shift the topic to Yue Buqun.
"Why do you think Master has been in seclusion for so long?" Linghu Chong asked seemingly casually.
"have no idea."
"Isn't it said that Master's cultivation is about to break through?"
"Master's retreat time is really long..."
Linghu Chong quickly reorganized the information spoken by Liang Fa and others in his mind, and then analyzed it, trying to find out the truth hidden in it.
