Chapter 145 A Letter
Goose feathers were fluttering outside the Zhengqi Hall, and the breath turned into mist.
On the snow, forty disciples were holding wooden swords, working in teams of two, practicing against each other, and they looked quite professional.
After fighting for more than a hundred moves, only one unlucky guy had a cut on his thumb.
The man was howling like a pig, as if he had lost his arm, so they had no choice but to let him go and apply medicine to bandage his wound.
"The people we recruited to the mountain in the past two years have been getting worse and worse. With such quality, going to fight against the Demon Cult is almost like giving away their heads for nothing."
Linghu Chong sat on the steps, leaning against the porch column, pressing his forehead. Looking at all these fancy things really gave him a headache.
He could correct his fellow apprentices' movements, but he could not teach them the essence of kendo.
Huashan swordsmanship is known for its strangeness and danger. It requires the sword to be unconventional, agile and natural, and to do as one pleases. The more one is obsessed with following the rules and every move, the easier it is to fall into a rigid and stubborn situation, and finally become hopeless.
Therefore, the power of the same Huashan sword technique performed by different people is often very different.
It's simple to say, just a few words.
If you don't experience it yourself, you will just think that others are talking nonsense and that you simply cannot do it.
This is what the master leads you to. How much good results you can get depends entirely on the individual practitioner.
Some people cheered up, worked hard, and when they looked back, although they did not climb to the top of the mountain, they were already above millions of people.
Some people only see the group of people on the top of the mountain. They complain about the unfairness of fate and their limited talents, and use this as an excuse not to even take the first step.
Lu Dayou came over hurriedly: "Big Brother."
Linghu Chong stood up, pulled him over, and whispered, "Any news?"
Lu Dayou patted his chest and said with a smile: "When I, Lu Houer, take action, there is nothing I can't handle."
"where is it?"
"There is a dark corner behind the food shelf in the kitchen. It is impossible to see from outside. Second Senior Brother is really a thief. He used the trick of hiding the dark under the lamp. I thought he would dig a hole in the mountain and hide the two jars of wine very secretly. I didn't expect that he would keep them in the kitchen. If Junior Senior Sister wasn't here, he would definitely not take the initiative to take them out."
Linghu Chong said excitedly, "Great, great, Liu Hou'er, you have done another great deed."
Lu Houer asked in a low voice: "Big Brother, are you planning to steal wine again?"
Linghu Chong's drinking habit was aroused, and he smiled softly, "What do you mean by stealing? Master's wife always said that Huashan Sect is the disciples' home. Can taking something from their family be considered stealing? The mountain has been closed for several months, and my mouth is almost dry. If I can't drink good wine, I will die. I don't think Master and Master's wife will have the heart to do that."
Lu Hou'er shook his head and said, "You can talk nonsense all you want. If Master finds out that you drink wine secretly, Big Brother, you won't have any more ass anyway."
Linghu Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Even if my butt suffers, I will accept it as I will gain something at least."
Lu Dayou said with a smile: "Big Brother, you are still carefree and open-minded. I admire you for this. You are a bachelor and a scoundrel."
Linghu Chong asked Lu Dayou to look after his fellow apprentices while he quietly slipped into the kitchen in the southeast corner. As soon as he pushed the door open, he smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Sure enough, it's here! Good wine, here I come."
He pushed open the wooden rack and found two wine jars behind it. However, after the seals were opened, the jars were empty.
"How could this be?"
He tapped the other wine jar, which made a buzzing sound and was also empty, without a drop of wine.
"An empty wine jar, this is really weird! Could it be that Second Junior Brother did something? Or did Lu Houer see it wrong?" Linghu Chong was just thinking about it when suddenly his eyes lit up.
There was actually a thumb-sized hole on the mud seal of the wine jar, as if it had been pierced by something.
He looked around and then upwards, and saw that the tile on the roof had obviously been moved.
"impossible?"
Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have figured out how the wine thief had done it.
"There is such a profound inner strength in the world? And he came to Mount Huashan to steal wine? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"But what if it's true? Then they must be plotting against Huashan Sect, or even targeting Master."
Linghu Chong did not care about anything else and walked towards the backyard, intending to report the matter to his master's wife.
In the backyard of Zhengqi Hall, there was a stove in the study and a pot of wine was heated.
It is rumored that a warrior at the Xiantian realm can transcend cold and heat, and be immune to all diseases. Even if this is really possible, no Xiantian realm master would take the initiative to accept punishment unless it is absolutely necessary.
When it's cold, you should put on more clothes; when you're hungry, you should eat. This is the law of nature. Resisting it is not a long-term solution.
Yue Buqun was wearing a green fur robe and looked good. He sat on the armchair, put down the warm wine glass in his hand, and nodded slightly: "This wine is indeed unusual. What's its name?"
"This wine is called Zui Qing Feng. It was bought by Second Senior Brother from Ping An Inn. Daddy also thinks it's a good wine?"
Yue Buqun shook his head slightly: "Zui Qing Feng is indeed good, but it is too strong and sweet, with a long aftertaste, which can easily make people intoxicated, especially Chong'er who loves drinking. Don't buy it to the mountain in the future, so as not to delay their martial arts practice."
Ning Zhongze sat next to him and said with a smile: "Brother, Shan'er is very filial, so please don't lecture her."
Yue Bubuqun sighed slightly, encouraged Yue Lingshan, and found an excuse to let her go back to her room.
He took out an opened letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ning Zhongze.
"Junior sister, look at this. It's not that I want to teach anyone a lesson, but Zuo Lengchan is too ambitious. He has made it difficult for the righteous martial arts world to breathe. I'm afraid that in the end, even our Huashan Sect will not be able to remain unscathed."
Ning Zhongze quickly finished reading the letter. Her pretty face turned red with anger and her brows furrowed. She slammed the letter on the table.
"Zuo Lengchan really doesn't cover up anything! He is willing to tell any lies in order to annex our four sects. He is unworthy of being a righteous person. He is so shameless!"
Yue Buqun gently stroked the five long strands of beard under his chin and asked softly, "Junior sister, what do you think? How much of what he said in the letter is true and how much is false?"
Ning Zhongze had a fiery temperament and was clear about what she loved and hated. Even after being married for many years, she had not changed her nature. When she heard Yue Buqun say this, she felt a little dissatisfied.
"Brother, why do you ask that? In the battle of Damao Ridge in Hengshan last year, Brother Liu Zhengfeng joined forces with us and fought bloody battles, seriously injuring Wu Lianjiang, the elder of the Yunshui Hall of the Demon Cult. That's how the people of Songshan Sect got a big advantage. They said Brother Liu was in contact with the Demon Cult. I'm the first one who doesn't believe it!"
Yue Buqun sighed and said, "League Leader Zuo said in the letter that he had solid evidence that Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect was secretly colluding with the demons of the Demon Sect and was trying to sell out the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect as a gift for him to join Dongfang Bubai. In the letter, League Leader Zuo forced me to express my position."
Ning Zhongze said, "Most likely Zuo Lengchan wanted to use the Demon Sect as an excuse to eliminate heretics, consolidate his authority, and realize his own wolfish ambitions. It's not like he, Alliance Leader Zuo, is incapable of framing others. This time it was Hengshan Sect, maybe it will be us next time."
Yue Buqun thought for a moment and said, "Junior sister is right. I will write back to Zuo Lengchan and advise him to prioritize the unity of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. This way, I can also show the attitude of the Huashan Sect."
Ning Zhongze suddenly asked, "Zuo Lengchan intends to attack the Hengshan Sect. Should we inform Senior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Liu? This will also teach them how to be prepared."
Yue Buqun shook his head and said, “Absolutely not! Alliance Leader Zuo has only revealed his intention but has not yet taken any action. If we inform Hengshan Sect at this time, we will be the ones to destroy the unity of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. I’m afraid that in the end, Huashan Sect will be in trouble.”
Ning Zhongze thought for a moment and nodded, "Senior brother is more thoughtful."
