Volume 1: The Swordsman of the East Chapter 63: Return to Huashan
Huashan, the Cliff of Repentance.
Ever since Liu Zhengfeng returned from the retirement ceremony, Linghu Chong has been punished to reflect on his mistakes at the Cliff of Repentance.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.
Outside the cave, along the cliff.
A huge stone with a diameter of three meters, like a stone bed, was polished to a very bright finish.
A young man in his twenties stood upside down on top of him. It was Linghu Chong.
His fingers supported the ground, and the internal force in his body was concentrated but not released, rising and falling continuously.
At the same time, an intermittent sound came out of his mouth.
"The first thing we must avoid is bullying our teachers and ancestors, and being disrespectful to our teachers! The second thing we must avoid is bullying the weak and hurting innocent people."
"The third taboo is adultery and lust, and flirting with women. The fourth taboo is jealousy among fellow disciples, killing each other. The fifth taboo is to forget righteousness for the sake of profit, and steal property."
"The Sixth Commandment is arrogant and conceited, and offends fellow Taoists. The Seventh Commandment... The Seventh Commandment associates with bandits and colludes with demons!"
“If I encounter a demon from the Demon Cult again, I will kill him with my sword… I will kill him with my sword… Kill, kill, kill…”
"Bang..."
Linghu Chong rolled over, as if he was exhausted, and lay straight on the ground, looking up at the sky, with thoughts swirling in his mind: "If I meet a demon from the Demon Sect in the future, should I kill him without asking right or wrong?"
For some reason, he thought of Qu Yang, his savior.
If I kill him with a sword, then what is the difference between him and an animal?
There is also the evil cult leader Dongfang Bubai. Senior Qu Yang once said that it was the most beautiful woman in the world who saved his life.
“Clatter…”
At this moment, a green figure flew across the sky.
Looking up, it’s as if you see a fairy, otherworldly, descending from the sky.
His green shirt rustled and his hair danced in the wind, he looked unrestrained and elegant, graceful and extraordinary.
The beautiful face seemed to be carved out of jade, without a single flaw.
Occasionally, a few strands of hair cover the cheeks, adding a different kind of charm.
Her expression was cold and clear, like a fairy from Guanghan Palace descending to earth.
Just with this one glance, Linghu Chong was mesmerized. When he felt the man's face was familiar, he suddenly shuddered: "Dongfang Bubai!"
The stunning beauty in front of him was too familiar. Back then in Huiyan Tower, her power alone forced him to fight with Tian Boguang, and he was seriously injured.
Of course, even if Dongfang Bubai didn't exist, he still planned to fight against Tian Boguang, and he had no complaints.
Speaking of which, Dongfang Bubai happened to be there and helped a lot, saving the little sister from Hengshan Sect.
What's more, it saved his life afterwards.
But when he thought of Qu Yang's words, Linghu Chong's mind exploded instantly.
It was as if there were two little men arguing in his mind.
On one side, Yue Buqun looked like a gentleman: "As a disciple of the righteous path, I hate evil as much as I hate evil. If I encounter a demon from a cult, I will kill him without mercy!"
On one side, Qu Yang, the lifesaver, looked amiable and said, "No need to thank me. Your injuries are all saved by the master's true qi, and the true qi I sent is only to suppress the injuries in your body, to ensure that you will not have to worry about your life in the future!"
"What I have done is to try my best to resolve the conflict between the good and evil, so that my soulmate, Brother Liu, can retire from the martial arts world in peace!"
"To kill or not to kill?"
Like the sound of beating drums, it resounded throughout Linghu Chong's mind.
The long sword in his hand was grasped by him and he subconsciously drew it out little by little, but his face was extremely conflicted.
On the one hand, it is the order of the teacher and the duty of the right path.
On the other hand, it is the grace of saving lives.
When the two sides were in fierce conflict, Linghu Chong was like a puppet, as if he had lost his soul.
“Kang!”
The long sword was finally unsheathed.
Linghu Chong raised his head suddenly, his mind racing with thoughts: "I am definitely no match for him. If I die like this, maybe I don't have to worry about it anymore. On the one hand, I have fulfilled my master's words, and on the other hand, I have repaid the favor of saving my life."
"kill!"
Linghu Chong roared, and the inner energy in his body burst out. His clothes moved without wind, his hair fluttered, and he went straight towards Dongfang Bubai.
Dongfang Qing spotted Linghu Chong as soon as he arrived.
Especially that tangled, constipated expression on his face, which naturally made people think that this should be the beginning of the breakup between Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong.
Seeing Linghu Chong rushing up with a sword in hand, Dongfang Qing couldn't help but smile.
Yue Buqun obviously did not see through Linghu Chong's true nature, and did not know how to judge people, so he forced Linghu Chong to behave like this.
As the old saying goes, when wine enters the liver and stomach, heroic spirits arise.
Most of the people in the martial arts world who are as free and easy and fond of drinking as Linghu Chong are free and unrestrained, passionate and emotional people. This is their nature.
Given Linghu Chong's personality and Yue Buqun's status as the head of Mount Huashan, he could be made to go through fire and water with just a few favors.
Instead of pushing away the disciples who have been trained for more than ten years .
If used well, it can definitely be a killer move.
But Yue Buqun was jealous in his heart, and he also had the ambition to dominate the martial arts world, as well as greed for the Book of the Sword of Exorcism. He deliberately provoked her with words, trapped her in the Cliff of Repentance, and kept her away from Yue Lingshan, which made the conflict worse and worse.
"But this has nothing to do with me!"
Dongfang Qing's smile became brighter. He raised his hand and waved it, and the stones under his feet flew away into the air.
“Bang!”
The stone hit the sword in Linghu Chong's hand, and the powerful force directly knocked the sword out of Linghu Chong's hand, and Linghu Chong flew backwards.
In fact, as soon as he saw Dongfang Qing's smile, Linghu Chong had lost all desire to fight.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to be clear after the rain, with a rainbow across the sky, and all the entanglements in my mind disappeared without a trace.
Only Dongfang Bubai's faint smile remained.
It is like the late autumn when flowers are in full bloom, or the morning of winter when the sun is high in the sky, it is so beautiful.
After being knocked away by the stone, Linghu Chong lay on the ground and did not get up for a long time.
Apart from Dongfang Bubai's smile, the only things left in his mind were what Lu Houer had said, and his junior sister Yue Lingshan, who hadn't come for two or three months.
For some reason, Linghu Chong felt a little sad.
"What? Do you want to commit suicide?" Dongfang Qing asked. Perhaps he himself did not realize the power of his smile.
Especially after having natural charm.
A smile can make everything bow down to it.
Not to mention Linghu Chong at this time.
"Dongfang Bubai, just kill me!" Linghu Chong had a complicated expression.
"I don't even bother to kill a small minion!"
Dongfang Qing's voice was cold and clear, as if without any emotion, but he kept walking. He walked straight to the stone table not far from the cave entrance, sat down calmly, and looked at the mountain scenery in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately revealed a bitter smile.
He was still struggling over whether to kill the demon from the Demon Cult, but the Demon Cult leader turned a blind eye to him, a righteous disciple.
I have to say, this is a bit ironic.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Dongfang Bubai's cold voice continue to ring out: "This place is the daughter of the great hero Guo Jing. She is missing the place she loves. If you want to die, go somewhere else and don't defile this place !"
Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment. If this was true, it would be inappropriate for him to die here.
But this place is clearly the Huashan Sect's Cliff of Repentance, a forbidden area on Mount Huashan, so why is it related to the great hero Guo Jing?
Not to mention that he didn't know, even most people might not know. After all, it was more than two hundred years ago, and even history books might not have recorded it.
I'm afraid that even Shaolin, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and Wudang, which has been around for more than two hundred years, don't have many records.
Shaking his head, Linghu Chong bowed and said, "Then I wonder why the Demon Sect leader Dongfang Bubai came to my Huashan Sect?"
"I will go wherever I want to go! Do I need to report to you?"
Dongfang Qing's words were very blunt, leaving Linghu Chong speechless.
Not to mention him, even if his master Yue Buqun was here, he probably wouldn't dare to ask Dongfang Bubai to report his whereabouts.
After all, he is the best master in the world. At the retirement conference, Liu Zhengfeng severely injured the leaders of all the sects with one sword and even killed a Shaolin monk.
Based on this record alone, no one in the entire martial arts world dares to say no.
Linghu Chong was silent, but Dongfang Qing was not idle. His consciousness was in resonance with the power of heaven and earth. He instantly sensed that on the other side of the Cliff of Repentance, an old man with white hair and beard was looking at this place from afar. It was Feng Qingyang.
Feng Qingyang was a little puzzled at this moment: "Why did Dongfang Bubai come here again? Is he here to fight again?"
"No, no! In the last battle, I spent a lot of time trying to defeat him even with my martial arts. Now, almost a year has passed, and this person has become unfathomable. I can't kill or severely injure masters from various sects with one sword!"
"I am afraid that I am no match for him now!"
"We can't fight. I, Feng Qingyang, also need to save my face!"
"How embarrassing it would be to lose to a teenager!"
Feng Qingyang made up his mind that as long as Dongfang Bubai didn't look for him, he would not show up easily.
As for his neighbor Linghu Chong, he had been watching him for a long time. He had a good talent in swordsmanship and was very intelligent, but he was mishandled by his disappointing master.
It is difficult to relax your mind because you are bound by various rigid rules.
"Your name is Linghu Chong, right?"
Dongfang Qing spoke up. There was still a long time to go, and if Feng Qingyang didn't show up, they would have to find an opportunity to complete the task from Linghu Chong.
After all, even if he caught Feng Qingyang, Dongfang Qing would be helpless if he didn't teach him the Dugu Nine Swords.
All he could do was to find a solution from Linghu Chong.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qing said to Linghu Chong, "It's getting late. Go down the mountain and buy some wine and food for me!"
Linghu Chong was shocked and looked at Dongfang Bubai in surprise. Is he planning to live here?
Although it is a wonderful thing to live with a stunning beauty, even if this beauty is wearing men's clothes.
But if he is discovered by his master again, he will be in real trouble.
Making friends with the leader of the Demon Cult, just the title of this, is already a violation of the Huashan Sect's rules.
In the lightest case, the punishment is expulsion from the mountain gate; in the worst case, one’s martial arts skills will be destroyed, and then the person will be expelled from the mountain gate again, or even expelled from the mountain gate.
"If you don't want to?" Dongfang Qing whispered, and said nonchalantly: "Then I will destroy the Huashan Sect!"
Linghu Chong: “???”
Just for a meal, you want to destroy an entire sect?
He is indeed worthy of being the leader of the evil cult!
