Chapter 614: Yushan Flying Book
November 25th, early morning.
The sky is like ink, the moon is like a hook, the clouds are like a dragon, and the wind is like a tiger.
Under the cover of night, the towering Yushan Mountain looks like a giant beast lurking in the darkness. Although it lies motionless, its huge figure is enough to scare people away.
There is a muddy and bumpy goat path at the foot of the mountain. As it gets dark, the number of pedestrians gradually decreases, until it becomes completely quiet and silent at night.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came with the wind, and then a reddish-brown horse came galloping over.
The horse's hooves flew, splashing countless mud and rocks, and the whip was swung, increasing the speed by three times.
"Shut up!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the man on the horse pulled the reins hard, and the horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.
In an instant, the tall horse was almost vertical to the ground. Fortunately, the man was an excellent rider. He shouted softly, pulled his hands back, and clamped his legs tightly on the horse's back, so he did not fall off the horse.
Looking up, in front of me is the only inn within a radius of fifty miles, Yushan Inn.
In the lobby of the inn, the sleepy waiter was startled by the sudden noise. He hurriedly put on a cotton cloak, held up the candlestick, and staggered towards the door.
"Who is shouting in the middle of the night..."
Before the complaint had even finished, a silver ingot suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the clerk's arms.
The waiter was startled, and hurriedly weighed the silver ingot with his hand. He immediately disappeared from sleepiness, and was overjoyed. He nodded and bowed to the man on the horse, and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, do you want to stay overnight or stay in the hotel? It's getting late, and there happens to be a room in the hotel, which is reserved for you..."
The man waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Can Taoist Qingfeng, the head of the Wudang Sect, stay in the inn?"
The waiter frowned, looking wary, and then rolled his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking these questions, sir?"
"You take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." The man said impatiently, "You took my money, so just answer my questions. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"
Hearing this, the waiter hurriedly put the silver ingot into his arms, as if he was afraid that the man would go back, and said hurriedly: "Sir, you are right. Taoist Qingfeng and a group of Wudang disciples are resting in the inn now. I wonder..."
Before he could finish his words, the man threw out another ingot of silver, and before the waiter could get overjoyed, a piece of letter was stuffed into his hands.
"Sir, you are..."
"I'm not staying in a hotel or eating at a restaurant. I'll give you the silver. Please deliver this letter to Taoist Qingfeng for me."
"No problem." The waiter agreed happily, "Tomorrow morning..."
"Go now!" the man urged, "I'll wait here. If you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying this, the man gently patted the steel knife at his waist to show his intimidation.
The waiter was secretly surprised and wanted to argue, but then he thought of the silver ingot in his arms and the steel knife on the horse. After thinking it over again and again, he made up his mind and turned to run to the second floor of the inn.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Although the waiter was careful, the crisp knock on the door still sounded very harsh in the quiet inn.
"who?"
Following an unhappy question, the door opened and Zheng Songren, a senior disciple of Wudang, appeared in front of the waiter.
Tonight, Zheng Songren was in charge of the night watch, so he was dressed neatly and held a sword in his hand.
"Sir, it's me!" The waiter was worried that Zheng Songren couldn't see him clearly and would accidentally hurt him with his sword, so he hurriedly reminded him, "I'm the waiter in the store."
"Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" Zheng Songren was worried about disturbing Qingfeng's sweet dream, so he scolded in a low voice, "Are you worried that we owe you rent, so you ran away in the middle of the night?"
"Sir, please don't misunderstand me..." The waiter quickly handed the letter to Zheng Songren and explained, "A gentleman came outside and asked me to deliver this letter to Taoist Qingfeng overnight."
Zheng Songren frowned, took the letter subconsciously, and asked suspiciously, "What master? Where is the person?"
"It's right outside the inn. If you don't believe me, just follow me!"
However, when the skeptical Zheng Songren followed the waiter downstairs, the inn was already empty and the man who had just delivered the letter was nowhere to be seen.
"Xiaoer, how dare you lie to me?"
"It's unfair! I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I had the guts to do it! I swear to God, there was indeed someone just now..." "You're talking nonsense, you deserve a beating!"
"stop!"
Before Zheng Songren could teach the waiter a lesson, a lazy and old voice suddenly sounded from the second floor.
Hearing this, Zheng Songren perked up and hurriedly bowed, "Master, I am so reckless and disturbed your rest!"
"I heard everything you said just now. Don't embarrass Xiao Er. Bring me the letter."
As they were talking, candles were lit in other guest rooms. Taoist priests Gu Yue and Gu Xing, who were traveling with Qing Feng and Zheng Song Ren, and other Wu Dang disciples came out of their rooms to find out what was going on.
"Don't make a fuss." Qingfeng said calmly, "Guyue and Guxing come to my room, and the other disciples go back to sleep."
After giving the order, Qingfeng turned around and went back to his room, followed closely by Zheng Songren. Gu Yue and Gu Xing looked at each other, both with a look of confusion on their faces.
Inside the room, a single light was dim, making the faces of the people look particularly pale.
Qingfeng opened the letter and read it carefully in the dim candlelight.
Gradually, Qingfeng's face began to change color, from joy to surprise, from surprise to anger, and finally a murderous cold light burst out from the depths of his eyes.
This move shocked Gu Yue and the other two who were unaware of the truth, and made them even more curious about the contents of the letter.
"Master, this letter is..."
"It's Xiaoxiao's handwriting." Before Zheng Songren could ask, Qingfeng spoke quietly, but his tone was as hard as iron. "She complained to me in the letter. Luo Tianjin had a big fight with her because of Xiao Zhirou. Now he has put her under house arrest in the Xianwang Mansion and decided to divorce her after Yu'er's wedding."
"what?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the complexion of Gu Yue and the other two changed, and they all looked surprised.
"How could Tian Jin..." Gu Xing said in disbelief, "He and Xiao Xiao have always been in love and harmony, why did he suddenly become like this?"
"Hmph!" Qingfeng snorted angrily, gritting his teeth and said, "In the past, he was a nobody, relying on Xiaoxiao and Wudang to climb up, so he pretended to be affectionate in front of Xiaoxiao and put on airs in front of this old man. Now he has become the leader of the Wulin, boasting that he has both fame and fortune, and no longer relies on Wudang's protection, so he turned his face and was ruthless, abandoning me after having sex with me. Tell me, is there anyone more shameless than him in the world? I was really blind back then, to regard Luo Tianjin as my proud student, and even to marry my precious daughter to such a bastard with a human face and a beastly heart..."
Seeing Qingfeng's concern and anger, Gu Yue hurriedly advised: "We have seen Tianjin grow up, and we know his character to some extent. He should not do such a thing as being fickle and ungrateful. I wonder... could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Qingfeng held the letter tightly in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxiao used tears to grind ink, how can there be misunderstanding? In fact, I have long discovered that Luo Tianjin is not as gentle, respectful, thrifty, filial, loyal and righteous as we imagined. In the past, I saw that they were in love with each other, and they had a pair of children, Xuan'er and Yu'er. The family lived a happy and happy life. I don't want to delve into Luo Tianjin's character, so as not to make trouble out of nothing and destroy the harmony of their family. I only hope that family harmony will bring prosperity. Therefore, I just muddle through when encountering things, and even go against the rules of the martial arts world. I have repeatedly helped Luo Tianjin overcome difficulties out of righteousness. But unexpectedly... Alas! I helped him a lot at the martial arts conference and even conspired with him to get rid of Ren Wuya. I never thought... He planned to divorce my daughter and marry Xiao Zhirou before he even got warm on the position of leader. This time when I go to Luoyang City, I will definitely teach this traitor a lesson and clean up the mess for Wudang. If necessary, I will not hesitate to make his shameful deeds public, so that he will be ruined and return to his original form. "
"hiss!"
Qingfeng's words made Gu Yue and the other two shocked and amazed.
This matter could be big or small. If not handled with care it would cause turmoil in the entire martial arts world. The Central Plains martial arts world, which had finally settled down, would surely be plunged into a bloody storm once again.
Once Luo Tianjin falls, the position of the leader of the martial arts world will surely be fought for by other heroes. By then, disputes will arise and killing will reappear. Wouldn't everything be back to square one?
"Master, please think twice. After all, he is now the leader of the martial arts world, and Luoyang City is the territory of the Xianwang Mansion. We must not act rashly." Zheng Songren advised, "Regarding this secret letter... Although it is in Senior Sister's handwriting, it may not be Senior Sister's original intention. Therefore, we should not make hasty judgments. We should ask Senior Sister in person after arriving in Luoyang City."
"Song Ren is right!" Gu Xing nodded quickly, "This trip is to congratulate. You must not quarrel with Luo Tianjin unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, Yu'er is the granddaughter of the head of the sect. You don't want to ruin her life and make her lose face in front of the world."
After hearing the persuasion from Zheng Songren, Gu Yue and Gu Xing, Qing Feng's expression eased a little, and he added: "Regardless of right or wrong, Xiao Xiao is in trouble right now, and she turned to me for help out of character, which shows that she is now desperate and at the end of her rope. Therefore, I cannot sit idly by and do nothing."
"What is the plan, Master?"
"Zheng Songren, you lead Zhang Songyi, Liu Songli, Hu Songzhi, Ma Songxin and others to rush to Luoyang City immediately." Qingfeng ordered, "Before I arrive, you don't have to pay attention to anyone else. Just listen to Xiaoxiao's orders in everything and make sure she is well protected."
"Yes."
"And!" Qingfeng frowned and added, "If anyone dares to harm Xiaoxiao, no matter who that person is, you don't have to be polite. If you are not that person's opponent, try to delay for a while and wait for me to deal with it personally."
Although Qingfeng did not specify who that person was, it was very clear from his words that he was referring to Luo Tianjin.
"Yes."
"I will support you in everything. There is no need to be shy. Go ahead with your horses. I will be there within seven days!"
Seeing Qingfeng's decisive and solemn words, Zheng Songren did not dare to delay. He quickly gathered his men, left Yushan overnight, and rushed to Luoyang City.
