Volume 2: Forbidden City, Jianghu and Imperial Court Chapter 14: Unpredictable
The drama of presenting a sword in front of the funeral hall of Qiao Shangzhou, the leader of the martial arts world, has become a hotly discussed topic in Luoyang city recently.
Even if they were not from the martial arts world, ordinary people would be attracted by these legendary stories when listening to the storytellers or the guests in the taverns and teahouses.
The Luoyang Flower Festival has long become a foil. The deaths of the four leaders of Kongtong, Bashan, Hengshan, and Twelve Linked Villages, including the murder of Qiao Shangzhou, do not seem to be as important, exciting, and pleasing to the people as these events.
The rumor about "the new martial arts leader Yi Wuqi" was spreading like wildfire, and it seemed that there was no .
However, there are always some people in the world who like to jump out and sing the opposite tune when everyone agrees on something.
Some people also think that Yi Wuqi is just a doctor, and no one has ever heard of him making much contribution to the righteousness of the martial arts world, so he is not worthy of being the leader of the martial arts world.
However, their words and deeds always seemed extremely extreme and untenable. When refuted, they would become speechless or glare at others, which led to several fights.
Because the words and deeds of these so-called "opposition parties" are so hateful, those who truly feel that Yi Wuqi is not suitable to be the leader of the martial arts world and who also have more sober and powerful arguments dare not speak out.
On the eighth day of March, news came from somewhere that the leaders of all the major sects had actually already chosen Yi Wuqi to take over the position of leader of the martial arts world. Naturally, some curious people sought confirmation from some of the leaders, and after getting a positive answer or tacit agreement, they spread the news even more widely.
Doctor Wuqi's prestige grew.
He has also been living in Wanxiang Tower recently, so even late at night, there are still some gangsters wandering around Wanxiang Tower, wanting to see him.
In a room on the third floor, the head of Huashan Sect stood in front of the window, looking at the people walking on the street. An expression of disdain and anger gradually appeared on his face. The hand that was pinching his beard paused for a long time, and finally he slapped the windowsill, did not even close the window, and turned around to go to bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
It's not that he heard the sound of the wind, but his heartbeat quickened without any warning. This spacious, comfortable and luxurious room suddenly seemed cramped in the eyes of the head of Huashan.
It was as if something fierce and majestic had invaded this space and occupied a larger territory.
The head of Huashan Sect exerted all his strength on the spot, made sword gestures in his hands, and turned around suddenly, ready to strike.
There was indeed an extra person in front of the window.
A young man in a blue robe stood there with a sword in hand. He seemed to have no hostility and did not notice the Huashan Sect Leader's vigilance. He just stretched out a hand and closed the window gently and slowly.
"It's you." The head of Huashan remembered this man's face, even though he had only seen him once in the hall that day. "You are the one who came with Lu Xiaofeng... Fang Yunhan. This place is heavily guarded. How did you get in?"
"After all, Wanxianglou is just a restaurant. If it hadn't been transformed into a copper-cast and iron-cast fortress, it wouldn't be considered heavily guarded when facing a true master."
Fang Yunhan walked to the table with a smile and sat down, placing the sword on the table.
The head of Huashan narrowed his eyes. His sword was now hanging on the wall, and his opponent's sword was also out of his hand. It seemed to be more fair.
Fang Yunhan looked at his performance and smiled even more deeply. He said, "I guess Cui Bailong and the others didn't tell you what happened after they chased you out that day."
"Isn't it just that they lost Lu Xiaofeng?" The head of Huashan frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Fang Yunhan said: "I just want to ask, do you really want to support Yi Wuqi to become the leader of the martial arts world?"
The Huashan Sect Leader's expression suddenly turned much uglier, and he sneered and said, "Why, is he still worried?"
Fang Yunhan lowered his eyes, hiding the playful smile in his eyes, and said in a seemingly deep voice: "The miracle doctor just wants to tell you that he can use this method to control you now. Even if you find a way to break the situation in the future, he will have new ways to make you obedient."
"Hmph." The head of Huashan said, "You can go back and tell him that at least this time, we won't regret it."
"So, you are indeed threatened." Fang Yunhan raised his eyes, his eyes were like stars.
The Huashan Sect Leader's expression suddenly changed: "Are you deceiving me?"
As his expression changed, he had already made his move, and his fingers were like swords, using the Huashan Sect's unique skills.
Among all the major sects in the martial arts world, if we only talk about the exquisiteness of swordsmanship, the Huashan Sect's Qingfeng Thirteen Styles was once famous and was known as unparalleled. Even the Wudang's Liangyi Sword Technique and the Kunlun Sect's Feilong Nine Styles seem to be inferior to it.
Although that is because Wudang's Liang Yi swordsmanship has its own mysteries, and is not known for its exquisite moves, but for its profound and profound meaning, which is close to Taoism. However, the wonder of Qingfeng Thirteen Styles can also be seen.
The contemporary Huashan Sect Leader, Long Bufang, has practiced the Thirteen Qingfeng Styles. Although he may not have achieved the pinnacle of accomplishment as described in the secret manual, he can at least be considered to have achieved some success.
When the Huashan Sect Leader made this move, he was clearly an old man, but he displayed an unparalleled graceful posture, as if he was an immortal Wuchen coming with the wind. The hand he held was like a sword but not a sword, and it seemed to change but not change, like an antelope hanging on a horn, leaving no trace.
Somehow, he slipped and slid, and had already bypassed the obstruction of the tables and chairs in the room, and attacked Fang Yunhan with a continuous and tortuous force.
The move is like the breeze that comes and goes. Who in the world can resist the wind?
But in the face of this move, Fang Yunhan just sat still and swung his right fist.
If the sword moves of the Huashan Sect Leader were as agile and ethereal as an immortal, then Fang Yunhan's punch was as plain as a piece of stone picked up from somewhere.
But the breeze rises and falls suddenly, and is so short-lived. And is there any stone in the world that does not have a history of tens of millions of years?
With just one punch, the Huashan Sect Leader seemed to hear the sound of his finger bones dislocating. Then, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
His forehead was lightly touched by the punch, but there was no visible injury at all.
"Tell me, how did he threaten you?" Fang Yunhan said in a gentle voice.
The head of Huashan opened his mouth and felt his throat was extremely dry.
If he made a loud noise now, it would immediately alarm everyone in Wanxiang Tower, but he didn't dare to do so, nor did he want to.
So he finally said it.
"The antidote that Doctor Wuqi gave us is only effective for three months. We need to take it again every three months, otherwise the poison accumulated in the bones will explode even more violently. "
Threatening people with life and death is surprisingly simple, but it has always been the most effective means.
Even the leaders of the so-called "righteous gangs" are not immune to this, so they will do as Yi Wuqi says.
In fact, if you are the kind of person who values justice more than your own life, it is actually very difficult for you to climb to the top of the gang, and you are often one of the first to die.
But now that I think about it, the leaders of the Kongtong and Hengshan sects were both known for their fiery tempers and their hatred of evil. The reason why they died first was probably not because of their lack of internal strength, but because they were poisoned more severely.
Similarly, Qiao Shangzhou and Lu Xiaofeng are not the type of people who can be controlled by poison all the time, so the two of them are either forced to death or framed for a serious crime.
It’s a pity that the person who set up this trap knew too little about Fang Yunhan.
Who could have thought that such a person would suddenly appear in the world?
Fang Yunhan helped the head of Huashan up and said in a clear voice: "Actually, I have cured some diseases. Do you want me to try?"
