Legend of the Sword Immortal

chapter11

Zhou Chun thought that both Master Baiyun and the Taoist with Beard were famous swordsmen, so he wanted to become their apprentice. Master Baiyun said, "Although you are over 40 years old, you have a good character and a good heart. You will be one of us sooner or later. Why rush? There are many swordsmen sects now, and they often cause conflicts. In addition to Kunlun and Emei, the newly created Huangshan Sect and Wutai Sect are like water and fire, all because evil and good cannot coexist. This time Mao Tai's revenge is just the beginning, and there will be many things in the future." After saying that, he picked up a lot of dead branches and leaves and burned the snake body. The Taoist with Beard said that he was ordered by his master, the old ancestor Jingxu, to quickly save a person with rich immortal roots, so as not to be collected by the people of the Wutai Sect. After saying that, he pursed his lips and let out a long whistle, and saw a big crane flying down from the clouds. The Taoist with Beard got on it, said "goodbye", and flew into the sky. Zhou Chun realized that the crane that fought the snake in the mountains that day was the Taoist with Beard's mount. Although he listened to his daughter Qingyun's words, he still felt uneasy and invited Master Baiyun for help. Master Baiyun said, "Just go first. There will be no hindrance to this trip. When you are in trouble, I will come to save you. It is not necessary at this time." Zhou Chun was half-believing and half-doubting, and had no choice but to say goodbye and set off alone.

After a few days, he arrived in Chengdu. He asked around for Mao Tai, but everyone said they had never seen such a monk. Zhou Chun had to wait for Qingyun to come. He waited for more than three months, but Qingyun did not come. He was very puzzled. It was the end of the first lunar month. There are many temples and ancient sites in and outside the city of Chengdu. One day, I was sitting in the store and was very bored, so I walked to the Wuhou Temple outside the South Gate to play.

This Wuhou Temple is a famous ancient site in Shuzhong, and there are many inscriptions by famous people on the wall. While Zhou Chun was browsing the film, he walked to the Wangjiang Tower and ordered a pot of wine and some dishes to eat alone. Suddenly, there was a sound on the stairs, and a man came up. He was dressed as a martial artist, with a face as beautiful as a jade, but his face was full of evil. He wore a blue satin embroidered warrior hat, and a bowl-sized powder made of tongcao was inserted diagonally on his temples. It was not good to order some wine and food alone, so he looked downstairs with his eyes fixed. Zhou Chun looked for a long time, and was very surprised, so he lowered his head and looked down. It turned out that there was a big boat parked by the river, with many women on the boat. There was a very beautiful woman on the boat, who was leaving the sedan chair. When the martial artist saw him, he quickly dropped a silver ingot to pay for the wine, and hurried downstairs. Zhou Chun observed that this person must be not a good person, so he also paid the bill and followed him. Suddenly, he saw a Taoist priest in front of him, carrying a big red gourd on his back, walking slowly forward. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was the drunk Taoist priest he met on Mount Emei that day. If he were to chase the r****t, it would be a rare opportunity to meet such a great man, so how could he miss him? If he were to give up, it would be too selfish and would be contrary to his chivalrous duty. While he was hesitating, the famous Chengdu sedan bearer had already run away and disappeared; the martial arts master had also disappeared. He had no choice but to follow the Taoist priest secretly. The Taoist priest seemed to have no idea that Zhou Chun was following him, and walked slowly in front. Zhou Chun was secretly happy, thinking that he would never miss him easily this time, so he followed the Taoist priest closely. The Taoist priest only walked into the field, and no matter how Zhou Chun chased him, the distance between him and Zhou Chun was always less than ten or twenty feet. Later, Zhou Chun got anxious and blurted out, "Master, please stop. I have something to say to you." Who would have thought that the Taoist listened to Zhou Chun's words and walked faster and faster. No matter how light-weight Zhou Chun was, he could not catch up with him. In a blink of an eye, he was gone. Zhou Chun knew that the Taoist was unwilling to see him, so he had no choice but to return to the inn with his head down.

After the shift, when he was about to rest, a breeze suddenly blew and a piece of paper was added to the empty table. Zhou Chun jumped out quickly and saw the stars in the sky, and everything was quiet. In the deep alley far away, there was a faint barking of dogs. When he went back to the room to look at the paper, he saw three big characters "Shijiaxiang" written on it, with full ink and spirit. The characters looked very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but he couldn't remember them for a while. He thought, "This Shijiaxiang is full of wealthy families, what does it have to do with me?" He was very puzzled. Later, he thought, "Could it be that something happened there, and the person who delivered the letter couldn't handle it alone, so he asked me to go and help? Whether it's true or not, let's talk about it when we get there." So he took the weapons he carried with him, closed the door tightly, jumped out of the window, and jumped over the roofs all the way. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a black shadow running forward like flying. Just when he reached Shijia Lane, he suddenly disappeared. Zhou Chun thought to himself, "Shijia Lane is a long street. Which house should I go to first? I don't care." He first went to the roof of the first house, but it was quiet and silent. Then he went to the third house, which was a large courtyard, and suddenly saw lights on the upper floor. Zhou Chun hurriedly jumped over and looked into the window. He couldn't help but be furious. It turned out that there was a stunning woman in the house, who was naked and tied to a spring stool, and had fainted. The martial arts master who was seen during the day was unbuttoning his belt and clothes, trying to r**e the woman. Zhou Chun couldn't help but blurt out, "What a p*****t! How dare you r**e a decent girl? Why don't you come out and die!" The thief heard it and said, "Who is so bold as to ruin your master's good deeds?" Then he blew out the light, opened the door, and threw a chair out. Zhou Chun put his sword aside and was waiting for him to come out to fight. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind behind his head, knowing that someone was plotting against him. He didn't even look back, but jumped out from the side. The thief then chopped him with a knife, and Zhou Chun quickly fought back.

It turned out that the thief was very cunning. He threw the chair first, and then flew out of the window, trying to plot against Zhou Chun. If Zhou Chun had not been a veteran enemy, he would have been killed. Zhou Chun fought with the r****t for more than ten rounds, and felt that the thief's body and sword skills were very familiar, so he shouted: "Rascal, who are you from? What's your name? You are the immortal ghost under my Yunzhong Feihe sword." The thief couldn't help laughing wildly after hearing this, and said: "Are you Zhou San? My master thought you wouldn't come to Chengdu, but who would have thought that you would come here to die. Your grandfather is a disciple of the Eight Finger Zen Master, whose secular name is Multi-armed Xiong Maotai. His name is Zhang Liang, the Shadowless Pink Peony." When Zhou Chun heard that his opponent had arrived, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He was also afraid that Maotai would come to help and was no match for him, so he used his life's unique skills, dancing a group of sword flowers all over his body, and tightly wrapped the thief. Although Zhang Liang was highly skilled in martial arts, he was no match for Zhou Chun. The owner of the house, whose surname was Wang, was also a martial artist. He was startled by the shouting and killing. At first, he saw two people fighting and thought that one of them must be a good person, but he couldn't tell who was good and who was bad. He just locked his door tightly and didn't dare to help. After hearing the thief's name, he had already distinguished the good from the evil, so he led his family to help. The thief saw that it was not the way, so he took the opportunity to jump up and jumped onto the wall. Zhou Chun said, "Where are you going!" He flew up with his sword, and with a single swing, he cut off the thief's legs. He fell down and died in pain. Everyone tied him up quickly and invited Zhou Chun to sit inside and thank him for saving him. Zhou Chun said, "Even though this thief has been captured, you must not make it public. He has a master named Mao Tai, who has become a sword fairy. If he knows about it, your whole family will be in danger." The owner of the house, whose name was Wang Chengxiu, was shocked when he heard Zhou Chun's words and asked Zhou Chun to help. Zhou Chun said, "I am not his opponent. As long as he doesn't know about it now, someone will come to subdue him in a few days, so you should not make it public for the time being. Tomorrow morning you will put this man in a suitcase and quietly report to the government. Have them secretly jail him and make their decision after Mao Tai is captured. Keeping me here will only bring harm and will not be good." Wang Chengxiu knew he could not keep him, so he had to do as he was told.
