The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 159
Jiang Ning looked at Linghu Chong with a strange look.
He didn’t know what to say.
“Big brother.”
Jiang Ning said, “Your martial arts skills are much higher than hers, so it’s naturally very easy for you to teach her, but this is only secondary. I let you practice swordsmanship with Yue Lingshan and teach her so that you can seize this opportunity to enhance your relationship, not so that you can knock her sword away.”
Linghu Chong was annoyed: “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Jiang Ning also didn’t expect Linghu Chong to be so mentally retarded.
He obviously has a good talent for martial arts and is usually very tactful, but he is so stupid when it comes to Yue Lingshan.
Linghu Chong quickly cheered up and his face became firm.
“I understand. I’ll go find my junior sister now.”
“Forget it, Big Brother, don’t go get scolded.”
Jiang Ning called him.
Yue Lingshan was angry now, and Linghu Chong had gained nothing except being scolded.
Linghu Chong thought about it and it made sense, so he decided not to go looking for trouble.
“Then when should I go find my junior sister?”
Linghu Chong looked at Jiang Ning eagerly, obviously treating Jiang Ning as his life-saving straw.
Although Jiang Ning’s previous method didn’t work, Linghu Chong still felt that Jiang Ning was very reliable.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about it in a few days. Wait until Senior Sister has calmed down before you go.”
Linghu Chong sighed upon hearing this.
“That’s all it can do.”
After sighing, Linghu Chong noticed that Jiang Ning was ready to go, with his sword ready.
“Where are you going?”
Linghu Chong asked in surprise.
“Master said that there are many people in Huashan now, so we can move the battle line forward and wait for the opportunity at Qianchi Chuang.”
Jiang Ning said as he walked.
Linghu Chong thought about it and chased after him after a moment.
“I’ll go with you.”
Jiang Ning turned around and looked at him in surprise.
Linghu Chong smiled helplessly: “I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go there and guard it.”
Jiang Ning had no objection.
The two were walking on the road, and Linghu Chong looked like he was troubled.
Before they knew it, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong had arrived at Qianchi Chuang, where some Huashan disciples were already guarding.
“Big Brother, Junior Brother Jiang Ning.”
Seeing Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong coming, Liang Fa hurried over.
Linghu Chong nodded to Liang Fa.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. How is the situation now?”
Liang Fa replied: “It’s quite quiet, there is nothing unusual for the time being, there are already fellow apprentices watching at the foot of the mountain, if there is any situation, they will come and inform us immediately.”
Jiang Ning looked around and saw barrels of oil everywhere. In addition to these, there were also many torches and large stones, which would be useful later.
However, due to the narrow terrain here, not much can be stored. A large amount of supplies are placed on the top of the North Peak. As long as the subsequent fighting breaks out, the supplies can be transported here quickly. The preparation is very sufficient.
Jiang Ning took a look and said, “Brothers, you have been guarding for so long, go and rest first, and I will guard it later.”
Liang Fa smiled and said, “It’s okay, we’re just sitting here anyway.”
Jiang Ning came to the end of the Thousand-foot Building and sat down. He casually placed his sword on a stone beside him and began to command the Thousand-foot Building.
Linghu Chong also looked at Liang Fa and other Huashan disciples and said, “Junior Brothers, you guys go and have a rest. Other junior brothers and sisters will come to replace you later. Junior Brother and I will stay here first.”
“Ok.”
Liang Fa nodded and took his fellow apprentices back to rest.
Linghu Chong also came to the other side of Jiang Ning and sat down, then looked at Jiang Ning’s profile and found that there was no expression on Jiang Ning’s face. His eyes were looking towards the bottom of the Qianchi Building, as if he was waiting for something.
……
At the foot of Huashan Mountain.
“Master Sima, what do you say? Go straight to Huashan Mountain?”
Thousands of martial artists have gathered at the foot of Mount Hua. The crowd is so dense that it seems endless at a glance.
A middle-aged man with a majestic figure was speaking to a burly man.
Sima Da, the owner of Changjing Island, did not speak immediately after hearing this. He raised his head to look at the towering Huashan Mountain, pondered for a moment, looked at one of them, and bowed.
“Mr. Ji, in your opinion, how should we attack Huashan?”
The person being asked was not good-looking, but his eyes were extremely bright and sharp.
This person’s name is Ji Wu Shi. Although he usually claims that he has no strategies at all, he is actually very cunning and has first-rate martial arts skills. He is a very powerful person.
Ji Wu Shi lowered his head in deep thought after hearing this, and then raised his head and said, “In my opinion, we need to make a long-term plan. Huashan is steep and difficult to climb. There has always been a saying that ‘there has only been one road to Huashan since ancient times’. I think you can see that just by looking at Huashan from here.”
“Huashan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, especially with King Ning and Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun on the mountain. These two are extremely skilled in martial arts. And I heard that people from the Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan sects have arrived. They occupy a favorable terrain. If we rush up like this, it will be like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The enemy will use the geographical advantage to wait for them to tire themselves out. We may not be able to gain any benefit by then. It is better for us to…”
“Why think so much? Just go for it.”
Before Ji Wu Shi could finish his words, a big man next to him interrupted him impatiently.
“We have thousands of heroes here. Why should we be afraid of a few hundred of them? They can be drowned by just drowning.”
“What is King Ning? What is the Gentleman Sword? So what if you have great martial arts skills? Don’t we have many experts here?”
“No matter how skilled they are in martial arts, can one person defeat ten? Or twenty?”
“Who among you present is not a master? Who is not a great man?”
A reckless man.
Ji Wu Shi frowned. What he hated most was reckless men.
But Ji Wu Shi still smiled and said, “What the hero said makes sense, but Huashan Sect is a famous sect after all, and its leader is one of the top ten masters of the righteous path. His disciple Jiang Ning killed Yu Canghai, who is also one of the top ten masters of the righteous path, not long ago, and also slaughtered his entire family. This strength should not be underestimated, so we still have to be careful.”
“What about the top ten masters of the righteous path? It’s just a boast. Who doesn’t know how much water is in it?”
Hearing Ji Wu Shi’s words, someone snorted and laughed in disdain.
“These so-called righteous sects love to flatter themselves. They boast about their reputations, but in reality, they are just that good. Just like Yu Canghai, who claimed to have surpassed his master, and was better than his master, but what happened to him in the end? He was killed by a young boy. How powerful can these righteous masters be?”
“We have thousands of people here, and countless masters. If we all join forces, it will be easy to defeat the Huashan Sect, let alone the Shaolin Temple.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Many people in the crowd behind responded to this person’s words.
Ji Wu Shi stopped talking after hearing this.
Sima Da and others in front couldn’t help but feel a headache when they saw this.
This is what happens when there is no one leading the way. There are different opinions. You have your ideas and he has his ideas.
At the beginning they also wanted to find a leader, but these people in the martial arts world were all living on the edge of a knife, most of them had bad tempers, and no one was willing to submit to anyone else. They all felt that they were qualified to be the leader, and in the end they started fighting each other until they were bloody.
“It would be great if the Saint Lady was willing to come out and lead.”
An old man sighed.
The others also nodded.
Sima Da’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
“I will go ask the Holy Messenger and see what he thinks.”
The others also nodded.
“Ok, Ok.”
“The Holy Envoy came here on the orders of the Holy Lady. I believe they already have an idea.”
“Master Sima, go quickly.”
Sima Da nodded, then walked through the crowd and came to the back. There was a luxurious and spacious carriage standing quietly in the crowd. The people around him had solemn expressions and tense bodies. Only some faint sounds came from the carriage from time to time.
Sima Da came to the front of the carriage respectfully, knelt down and kowtowed.
“Your subordinate Sima Da requests to see the Holy Envoy.”
Sima Da spoke in a loud voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, the faint noise in the carriage stopped.
After a while.
“come in.”
A voice came from inside.
“Yes.”
Sima Da stood up respectfully and walked towards the carriage with his head bowed. A coachman who was guarding the carriage pushed open the door and lifted the curtain. Sima Da nodded slightly to express his gratitude and then walked in.
After entering the carriage, Sima Da did not dare to raise his head. He came to the central table, knelt down and kowtowed, extremely respectful.
“Your subordinate Sima Da greets the four Holy Envoys.”
Four figures were sitting at the other end. They were dressed strangely and had pigtails on their heads. The table was filled with fruits and a fruit core was casually thrown under the table.
Not hearing any response, Sima Da raised his head and took a quick look at the four people, then quickly lowered his head.
Ugly, so ugly.
Sima Da could only sigh that the Sun Moon Sect was truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. These four people were not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but also had distinctive looks, each uglier than the other, which was simply beyond the visual limit.
Looking at Sima Da kneeling below, Tao Zhixian tapped her butt unconsciously. The next second, a rough hand hit her, and Tao Zhixian quickly sat up straight.
