Volume 3 Huashan Xiaoao Chapter 4: The Battle of Qi and Sword
Because of using "Divine Possessed Disciple" once, the sect's achievement value became 5800 points.
The simulated achievement value below has become more than 500, no, it’s more than 1,000.
After observing for a while, Su Yan finally understood what the "instantly changing values" introduced by the simulator meant.
At this moment, the simulated achievement value kept jumping between the two numerical ranges of more than 500 points and more than 1000 points.
After a little thought, Su Yan guessed the general reason.
Since he entered the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, he has only communicated with Linghu Chong and Feng Qingyang.
It is very likely that the two of them were affected, which led to a change in the fate of the Huashan Sect, resulting in such a change in the simulation achievement value.
The reason why it was beating was most likely because Feng Qingyang was struggling in his heart.
"It seems that Feng Qingyang was not completely persuaded by me... In fact, if he was so easily persuaded, he would not have lived in seclusion in the Cliff of Repentance for twenty or thirty years, and his martial arts realm was always stuck at the eighth level of the acquired realm."
Thinking of this, Su Yan decided to start the second-hand preparation immediately.
Extending his spiritual sense, Su Yan discovered that Ning Zhongze's jade pendant was on the clothes on the clothes hanger in the bedroom, and Ning and Yue were already asleep next to them.
Su Yan directly used the video version of his dream-telling skill on Yue Buqun.
…
Yue Buqun looked around vigilantly, because he found himself inexplicably in a gray fog.
"Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun..."
A faint calling voice appeared, causing Yue Buqun to subconsciously walk towards the place where the voice came from.
After walking a few steps, he saw a short-bearded man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a rather immortal look, sitting cross-legged in the gray fog.
It was this man who was calling him.
He immediately bowed and asked, "May I ask who you are? And where is this place?"
The short-bearded man said, "I am Hao Datong's great master, Wang Chongyang's teacher, and the Wuji Zhenren."
Yue Buqun's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
Since Hao Datong is the founder of the Huashan Sect, doesn't this man, with such an identity, become the founder of the Huashan Sect?
Could it be that some sorcerer with special powers was deliberately trying to deceive him?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Yue Buqun did not show any sign on his face. Instead, he said with a little excitement: "So you are the founder of my Huashan Sect. Please accept my disciple Yue Buqun's greetings!"
After saying this, he only bowed deeply to the short-bearded man instead of kneeling down to pay homage.
The short-bearded man smiled and said, "It seems you don't believe me."
“How could that be? If Grandmaster blames me for not being polite, I will just do it again.” Yue Buqun said this, but he did not show any intention of doing it again. He asked again, “Excuse me, Grandmaster, where is this place?”
The short-bearded man had no intention of forcing Yue Buqun to kneel down and kowtow, so he simply replied, "You and I are both in a dream."
Yue Buqun was stunned when he heard this.
Then he secretly snapped his fingers, and since he felt no pain, strangely, he didn't wake up either.
The short-bearded man chuckled and said, "This dream was created by my dream-telling technique. You can't leave easily without my permission."
Hearing this, Yue Buqun became more alert in his heart, but more respectful on his face.
"I wonder what the Grandmaster told me in my dream?"
"Yue Buqun, do you know that Huashan Sect is at a critical juncture of life and death?"
Hearing this, Yue Buqun was slightly surprised, and then said: "Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect intends to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and has already subdued the Taishan and Hengshan Sects, although the next ones are Huashan and Hengshan.
But I think, as long as we are cautious and don't give him any chances, Huashan Sect will be able to survive, right?"
"You have figured out Zuo Lengchan's thoughts clearly, but you know that Zuo Lengchan has already found an excuse to interfere in Huashan Sect's affairs."
Yue Buqun frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is the excuse that the founder mentioned the Sword Sect?"
"That's right." The short-bearded man nodded, "Soon he will send Lu Bai and the people from Taishan Sect and Hengshan Sect to escort Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and others from the Sword Sect to Huashan, and force you to give up the position of the Sect Leader!"
Seeing the short-bearded man speaking so confidently about something that had not yet happened, Yue Buqun could not help but wonder, "Master, you are so sure, but what news did you get?"
The short-bearded man smiled and said, "Not only do I know about this, I also know that a group of wandering people called the 'Six Immortals of Taogu' may also go to Huashan.
This group of people originally came to find your eldest disciple Linghu Cong to repay a debt of love to a little nun, but if you and Linghu Chong cannot handle it well, it will make the Sword Sect's going up the mountain more complicated, and then the entire Huashan Sect will be involved in crisis."
Hearing what the short-bearded man said, Yue Buqun was even more shocked, and thought to himself: Could this man really be the founder of our Huashan Sect, who has become an immortal and can predict the future?
Then he thought: It is useless to guess now, let's just wait and see whether what he said will happen.
With this thought, Yue Buqun felt even more respect for the short-bearded man.
He bowed again and said, "I don't know how Huashan Sect can survive this crisis. I would like to ask for your guidance, Grandmaster."
"A crisis is often a matter of chance. Since I am the founder of the Huashan Sect, I will not stand idly by." The short-bearded man looked calm, but then he changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of the Qi Sword Contest?"
Yue Buqun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the short-bearded man to suddenly ask about this.
He thought for a moment and said, “The Sword Sect believes that practicing martial arts is mainly about practicing sword moves, supplemented by refining qi. They even believe that once have mastered advanced sword moves, even if your internal strength is mediocre, you can still achieve a surprise victory.
Such a hasty and quick-successful idea is obviously putting the cart before the horse and going astray. However, the people of the Sword Sect refused to admit their mistakes even after losing the duel, which led to a brutal fight among my fellow disciples of the Huashan Sect.
Otherwise, why would our Huashan Sect decline to this extent? The position of the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects would not be snatched away by the Songshan Sect!"
The short-bearded man shook his head and laughed after hearing this, "Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun, since you call me the Grandmaster, why are you so hypocritical when answering my questions?"
Yue Buqun knew that what he said was problematic, but he didn't expect that this ancestor seemed to know the secrets of Huashan Sect from decades ago. He felt a little embarrassed, but still pretended to be innocent and said, "Every word your disciple said is true. How could it be false?"
The short-bearded man said, "The same thing, when told from different angles, conveys completely different meanings to others. This is the art of speaking. Don't you think I don't know it?
I know things that haven't happened yet, so how can I not know about the Qi-Sword dispute of the Huashan Sect? I know more and more deeply than you do."
Yue Buqun felt guilty, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "I, your disciple, would like to hear your opinion, Grandmaster."
"We will talk about the origin of the Qi-Sword dispute later. Let's just say that the two groups who fought on the Jade Maiden Peak back then were really fighting over whether Huashan Sect should focus on Qi or sword training? I think they were fighting for power, right?
In the previous fight, the winner would not only be able to become the head of Huashan Sect, but also have a great chance to become the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. How many people would not be tempted by such a high position in the martial arts world?"
Yue Buqun was moved after hearing this, because these words touched his heart.
The short-bearded man continued, "The initial dispute over the Qi Sword was indeed just a dispute over martial arts theory, so it was harmless and did not affect the friendship between fellow disciples.
But when the final battle of Qi and Sword involved the position of the head sect leader and even the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the situation naturally changed.
Therefore, although the fighting among the fellow disciples on the Nvyu Peak was rooted in the dispute over the Qi Sword, it was actually caused by a struggle for power. "
At this point, the short-bearded man paused, looked at Yue Buqun with a half-smile, and said: "However, do you know that the source of the Qi Sword dispute is very likely a conspiracy against Huashan Sect by other sects?"
"Conspiracy?!" Yue Buqun was shocked. He himself was a conspiracy lover, so his curiosity was immediately aroused. He asked respectfully, "Why did the Grandmaster say that?"
