Chapter 245 Injury Hidden
Chapter 245 Injury Hidden
"Revenge for your uncle!"
These people shouted in unison, as if they were afraid that others didn't know why they suddenly acted like this.
The accumulated sword force is endless.
Shan Lan could see clearly that there were eight of them in total, and they were performing a sword formation from the Tai Heng Sect.
This formation is called the [Eight Directions Thousand Deadly Formation].
This formation is based on the Eight Trigrams, and uses the Eight Trigrams to perform Qimen.
With Qian, Kun, Zhen, Dui, Kan, Li, Xun and Gen, set up the eight gates to prevent death, injury, shock and birth.
Then, by comparing it with the Nine Palaces framework, the positions of all eight directions will be clear.
If we break it down into details, we will find that Shang is in Zhen three, Du is in Xun four...these are basic constants.
It is just the position of the eight directions, but a single move can affect the whole body, and the person being strangled will be brought into the central palace, taking over the number of the nine palaces.
There are thousands of ways to kill and tens of thousands of changes, which can be said to be endless mysteries.
Shan Lan's expression suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chu Qing flick his sleeves.
An irresistible force came towards her and pushed her out of the battle circle.
The next moment, a protective aura as cold as ice enveloped all directions.
The dragon-shaped energy roams around, resounding in the air.
Buzz! ! !
The long sword touched the strong energy, and the recoil force rolled back.
Chu Qing didn't care what unique skills they used or what sword formation they performed.
Even with the Immortal Golden Body, you can’t put together the sword formation if your cultivation is not enough. If you want to pull Chu Qing into the palace, forget it!
With a burst of internal energy, the eight figures were like candles in the wind in an instant. They were lifted up by Chu Qing with the [Nine Chapters of Divine Jade] and circled around the Indestructible Golden Body, smashing one by one. In the blink of an eye, they were smashed into a ball.
What life and death injury Du Jingjingxiu's eight gates were directly broken cleanly.
Once the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates were broken, eight figures were sent forward by Chu Qing's palm, and they fell on the steps in front of the Yu Jian Pavilion like rag bags.
For a moment, the entire area in front of the Yu Jian Pavilion was silent.
Only one of the eight figures managed to hold on and pointed at Chu Qing:
"You...you killed my uncle Ling Beichen, and now, you have even attacked Tai Heng Sect!
"They never took me... Tai Heng Sect seriously at all..."
Chu Qing smiled when he heard that, and suddenly reached out his hand. The man came directly to Chu Qing with a whoosh, and was grabbed by the neck by Chu Qing.
He didn't look at the person in his hand, but looked at Li Junmo:
"It is really eye-opening that Tai Heng Clan welcomes me like this.
"I wonder if it is because I have never taken Tai Heng Sect seriously? Or is it because Tai Heng Sect has underestimated me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted a little force with his palm, and there was a clicking sound.
The man's neck was directly broken by Chu Qing.
The sound of bones breaking was not loud, but now in front of the Yu Jian Pavilion, you could hear a pin drop, and when it reached the ears of everyone present, it made their hearts shrink slightly.
Someone couldn't help but say:
"Third Young Master... killing someone in my Tai Heng Sect, isn't that a bit... too much?"
"shut up!"
Without waiting for Chu Qing to speak, Li Junmo finally spoke. He looked at Chu Qing and said:
“As soon as the Third Young Master came up the mountain, the people he was targeting couldn’t wait any longer.
"It looks like a storm is coming."
Chu Qing smiled:
"Master Li means that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with nature."
Li Junmo did not hesitate at all:
"Third Young Master has obtained Senior Brother's [Seven Absolutes, Seven Turns, Seven Injuries Sword], and you are considered one of our own from the Tai Heng lineage. How could I send someone to kill you for no reason?
“What’s more, considering the Third Young Master’s current martial arts status, asking them to take action would only make him laugh.
"I think the Third Young Master should be well aware of this matter."
"In this case, what does Sect Leader Li plan to do?"
"Take him away, torture him severely, and track down the person behind this."
"This is the territory of Tai Heng Sect. I cannot interfere in other people's affairs. I will have to trouble Sect Leader Li."
Chu Qing said this and clasped his fists slightly.
Li Junmo waved his hand, and immediately disciples from the Taiheng Sect came forward and dragged the remaining seven people away.
The conversation between the two people happened so quickly that it took a while for the others in the room to react.
"What do you mean? These people assassinated the Third Young Master. Was there someone behind the scenes?"
"That makes sense. How old are they? When Master Ling left the mountain, they were not even born, and at least they hadn't entered the mountain gate. How could they have such a deep relationship that would make them take such a risk to assassinate him?"
"If you can't kill him, why come out? Just to embarrass yourself?"
"You are trying to instigate us! If the Third Young Master was angry just now and thought that we, the Tai Heng Sect, were targeting him, can we still talk here peacefully now?"
"So, the Third Young Master saw at a glance that these people's actions were not the intention of our Tai Heng Sect. And the Sect Leader also made a decision in an instant... Oh, did someone succeed in instigating this before?
"But the Third Young Master ignored him?"
"Why bother with such an ignorant person... In a few days, there will be a sword-granting ceremony.
"The headmaster said that a storm is coming. I'm afraid our Tai Heng Sect is also in trouble."
……
……
The disciples outside the gate were discussing, and Chu Qing had been invited into the Yu Jian Pavilion.
Everyone took their seats as host and guest, and Li Junmo introduced several Tai Heng Sect masters in front of him to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing met everyone one by one, and then picked up his bag.
Carefully taking out Ling Beichen's ashes, he spoke in a deep voice:
“Before leaving Luochen Villa, I promised Senior Ling that I would send his ashes back to Taiheng Sect.
"Now I have come to fulfill my promise...Master Li."
Li Junmo had just sat down when he quickly stood up again.
Looking at the urn in Chu Qing's hand, his face was full of sorrow. He slowly walked to Chu Qing, took the urn with both hands, and sighed softly:
"Brother, brother, I said back then that you should be the head of Tai Heng Sect.
"You just want to retire from the world...
"You clearly promised to come and see me, but you never came once.
"Have you ever thought that when we meet again, it will be like this?"
Speaking of this, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and actually cried right here in this great hall...
Several Tai Heng Sect masters offered words of comfort, and their words were filled with emotion.
It was not until someone took the ashes away that Li Junmo managed to calm down. Standing next to him was a young man in white.
Looking at him with concern...
Li Junmo had previously introduced this person as his direct disciple and the protagonist of the upcoming "Sword Awarding Ceremony" - Guan Changying.
This Guan Changying is no ordinary person. Although he is young, he is the best among the younger generation of Taiheng Sect.
There is a hint of the style of the northern ministers of the past.
The so-called sword-granting ceremony is not a succession ceremony.
Li Junmo was still in his prime and it was not time for him to pass on the throne to someone more capable.
The meaning of "granting the sword" is inheritance.
Please witness together, fellow martial artists, Guan Changying is the next generation leader of Tai Heng Sect.
After the sword-granting ceremony, the disciples in the sect can be called the "Young Master".
Putting it in the court means enthroning the prince.
It’s a pity that this number one of the younger generation of Tai Heng Sect has no sense of presence now standing here.
Wherever Chu Qing is, he always steals the show from his peers.
Li Junmo, who had regained his composure, slowly exhaled and said to Chu Qing: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Third Young Master...
“You don’t know, I grew up with my senior brother since I was a child, practicing martial arts and learning to read together.
“My senior brother has always been very caring towards me, and we have been through thick and thin together over the years.
“Without my senior brother, I wouldn’t be where I am today… But, my senior brother doesn’t know that I would rather not be the head of Tai Heng Sect than have anything happen to him.
"Alas... it's useless to talk about this now. Third Young Master, may I ask, before Senior Brother died, did he... suffer?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"I fought him, and in the end...he died without pain."
"That's good."
Li Junmo nodded:
"I know him well. He would rather die at the hands of a master than be killed by a despicable conspiracy. For this reason alone, I would like to thank the Third Young Master for his help.
"Third Young Master, in a few days, it will be the time for my disciple to receive the sword. If you don't mind, can you stay at Tai Heng Sect for a few days?
"After participating in this sword-granting ceremony, will you leave?"
"Right on my mind."
Chu Qing paused for a moment when he said this:
"Besides, there is one more thing I haven't had time to tell you... By the way, where is Shan Lan? Ask her to come over and tell you in detail."
"Oh?"
Li Junmo seemed to be thinking:
"Is it because of the devil down the mountain?"
Although he asked this, he still waved his hand and asked someone to invite Shan Lan over.
Seeing the peaceful attitude in the Yu Jian Pavilion, Shan Lan breathed a sigh of relief. After kneeling on the ground and paying her respects to the head and the elders, she slowly stood up and told Chu Qing about what she had seen and heard in the locust tree forest before.
He took out the letter again and handed it to Li Junmo.
Li Junmo took the letter and read it for a while, then turned to ask Chu Qing:
"Third Young Master, if there is anything you want, just ask directly. Everyone in Tai Heng Sect will definitely grant it to you."
Chu Qing shook his head:
"I don't really want anything. If I have to say... I probably want to go and see the Blue Luan Stone Shadow."
"Blue Luan Stone Shadow?"
Li Junmo smiled dumbly:
"If the Third Young Master is interested in this, he can stay at Qingluan Peak temporarily. Maybe he will have a chance to see the Qingluan Stone Shadow."
"Master Li, why don't you ask me why I'm interested in this alone?"
Chu Qing asked with a smile.
Li Junmo shook his head:
"The Third Young Master kept my Senior Brother's promise and sent his ashes back from a distance. You are a righteous man. Our Tai Heng Sect is grateful for his kindness. Why ask more about this trivial matter?"
"Alright."
Chu Qing nodded:
"If that's the case, then thank you, Master Li.
"But... this Blood Prince must be guarded against."
Li Junmo nodded. Although he didn't know why, up to now no one from the Tianxie Cult had caused trouble in his Taihengmen territory.
But he had also heard about this evil cult.
These people are so vicious that if we can't find the Blood Prince, who is hiding somewhere unknown, as soon as possible, a disaster may really happen!
"I'll have someone investigate right away... But since she's determined to hide, I'm afraid this investigation won't be very effective..."
Chu Qing said thoughtfully:
"I was thinking, if this person is really in Tai Heng Clan, given her current state, I'm afraid she will have some plans."
"Then what is she after?"
"Perhaps, we can start with those few people today?"
Chu Qing said softly:
"The situations of these people are not normal. If you say it happened spontaneously, I'm afraid I find it hard to believe."
Li Junmo nodded:
"In that case... then we can give it a try."
After chatting for a while, Li Junmo asked Shan Lan to take Chu Qing and the others to Qingluan Peak.
The scenery of Qingluan Peak is superb. Although it is covered with snow in winter, it still has a unique charm.
After Shan Lan sent Chu Qing and the others to their destination, she said goodbye and left.
Since returning to the mountain, I have not shown my face to my master yet. This is not good... Now that Chu Qing and the others have been settled, Shan Lan is relieved and should go see his master.
Chu Qing didn't try to keep the guest and let her go.
I wanted to go directly to the Green Luan Stone Shadow to find out what was going on, but before I could even get up, someone else came to the door.
After opening the door, the person standing outside was Guan Changying in white.
"Third Young Master."
Guan Changying bowed slightly to Chu Qing.
"Brother Guan, please come in."
Chu Qing extended his arm to lead him, Guan Changying was somewhat flattered, and said quickly:
"No, no, Third Young Master can be regarded as an equal to my teacher. He is not worthy of being called Brother."
"You and I are of the same age, there's no need to be so reserved."
Chu Qing ushered him into the room, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked:
"Brother Guan, what brings you here?"
Guan Changqing then placed something wrapped in cloth on the table.
“My master ordered me to bring this to you.
“Although the Third Young Master never mentioned it, the news had already been passed back to Tai Heng Sect.
"We all know that before your uncle died, he once said that after sending his ashes back, we should give his sword Shangyin to the Third Young Master.
"This... is the injury hidden."
As he spoke, he opened the package, revealing a black sheathed sword.
"Injury hidden..."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Ling Beichen had indeed said these words before he died.
However, he had experienced too many things along the way, and as for a sword, having the Qingye Sword in his hand was enough, and he didn't have any special thoughts about this sword.
However, he didn't expect that even though he didn't take it seriously, Li Junmo took it to heart.
He asked his disciple to bring the sword over.
Chu Qing picked up the sword and pushed it lightly with his thumb. The sword came out of the sheath, and a cold light flashed for a moment. Its sharpness was not inferior to that of the Qingye Sword.
"What a sword!"
Chu Qing sighed softly.
Guan Changying smiled and said:
"Swordsmen cultivate swords. Your uncle-master is the best swordsman in the world, so his sword is naturally also the best sword.
"This sword is named Hidden Injury because the blade is so sharp that the wound it causes is not visible, hence the name.
"Please accept this sword, Third Young Master."
"it is good."
Chu Qing nodded:
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
The long sword in Wu Qianhuan's hand is just an ordinary one. He cannot use this sword himself, so he can give it to Wu Qianhuan.
Just as I was about to say something else, someone else came to the door.
But the person who came was looking for Guan Changying.
"Brother Guan, the headmaster asks you to go to the mountain gate to prepare to welcome guests. The abbot of the Vajra Gate and others will soon arrive at the Taiheng Gate."
