The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 156
Jiang Ning looked at these Taishan Sect disciples and found that these Taoists were basically very young. Except for some middle-aged Taoists, only the Tianmen Taoist was the oldest. None of the Taishan Sect Taoists of the Yu generation were seen.
“Brother Dao, aren’t Master Yujizi and Master Yuyinzi here?”
Master Dingyi also noticed this and asked with a frown.
For such a big event, only Taoist Tianmen and his disciples from Taishan Sect came. None of the people from the Yu generation came, and not even a single disciple was seen. This is too outrageous.
Taoist Tianmen’s expression was already ugly, and it became even uglier after hearing what Master Dingyi said.
“They are in Songshan Sect, and they said they would wait for the order from Alliance Leader Zuo to come together.”
After hearing this, Jiang Ning understood.
No wonder Tianmen Taoist is so angry.
Upon hearing this, Master Dingyi also frowned.
She knew about Zuo Lengchan’s plot to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Ever since Ding Mian, Lu Bai and others brought Lu Lianrong from Hengshan Sect and Yu Panzi from Taishan Sect, she knew that these people had been bribed by Songshan Sect. What she didn’t expect was that Songshan Sect had infiltrated Taishan Sect to such an extent. From what Tianmen Taoist said, it seemed that several of his uncles had already turned to Songshan Sect.
Thinking of this, Master Dingyi’s face turned ugly and she asked, “Has the Songshan Sect not arrived yet?”
All of these sects that are far away from Huashan have arrived, but the Songshan Sect, which is the closest, has not arrived yet.
Tianmen Taoist shook his head: “No.”
He had no idea when the Songshan Sect would set out. When Yu Panzi and his people said they wanted to come with the Songshan Sect and go against him as the sect leader, he angrily brought his disciples here first. Originally, he brought more than 200 people with him this time, but now only more than 50 came, all of whom were his disciples. The rest were in Songshan.
“This……”
Master Dingyi didn’t know what to say, so she shook her head and stopped talking. The disciples of Hengshan School also rushed over. Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingjing and the Dian Cang Twin Swords greeted each other and then the two groups went up the mountain together.
“Junior Brother Jiang Ning.”
Tianmen Taoist and other elders of the previous generation were walking in front, Jiang Ning was walking behind, walking with the young Taoists of Taishan Sect. At this time, several young Taoists were approaching this side.
“I heard that you killed Tian Boguang in Hanzhong Prefecture. This man was very powerful in Qinggong. I don’t know how many righteous masters wanted to kill him but he escaped. How did you deal with him at that time? Can you tell us about it? We are all very curious.”
A young Taoist priest asked curiously, and upon hearing this, some other Taoist priests also moved closer and pricked up their ears to listen.
Seeing how curious they were, Jiang Ning told them what had happened.
“lime powder?”
A young Taoist priest was stunned for a moment.
“Ah.”
Jiang Ning nodded and said, “At that time, I used lime powder to interfere with his eyes, which greatly reduced his Qinggong ability. That’s how I killed him.”
Upon hearing this, the young Taoists of Taishan Sect looked at each other in bewilderment and were speechless.
Originally they were still thinking about how thrilling and spectacular the situation was, but they didn’t expect it to be like this.
“Isn’t this a bit…”
A younger Taoist priest looked a little confused.
Tianmen Taoist is a bit pedantic, and his disciples are all rigid and inflexible. They don’t know how to adapt, and they don’t know how to use tricks. They are a bit hesitant about this unorthodox style.
Jiang Ning saw their hesitation and said with a smile: “My fellow brothers, to deal with such people, we must use some extraordinary means. People like Tian Boguang who do all kinds of evil will use any means possible. If we stick to the means, how can we make them surrender?”
“There is no good or evil means. The difference lies in how people use it. For example, if a knife is used by one person to kill innocent people, it is evil, but if it is used against those evil people, it is good. The same is true for means.”
“When our martial arts skills are not enough to support us in eliminating evil, some necessary means can be used to avoid our own death.”
“To deal with them, we must do everything we can, and use every possible means to kill them.”
“Don’t worry about being unrighteous by doing this. When those people commit all kinds of evil, they are no longer human beings, but beasts.”
“We should not treat these beasts as human beings. We should treat them the same way they treated innocent people. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
After listening to Jiang Ning’s words, these young Taoists were all stunned.
What the other party said seemed to make sense.
Although what they said was different from what Tianmen Taoist taught them, the phrase “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” made their blood boil.
Some Hengshan Sect disciples also heard Jiang Ning’s words and showed strange expressions.
“So Junior Brother Jiang Ning is so hateful of evil.”
Zheng E leaned close to Yiqing and whispered.
No wonder they had seen Jiang Ning being so cruel to those people before.
At this time, Taoist Tianmen was talking with Master Dingyi in front and had no idea what was happening later.
Master Dingjing walked behind and looked strange when she heard Jiang Ning’s words.
The disciple taught by Master Yue is quite special.
A group of people were walking on the mountain road. The total number of people from Hengshan Sect and Taishan Sect was more than 200. They were marching on the mountain in a mighty manner. When they reached a forest, a male voice was heard from above.
“Have the senior and junior sisters from Hengshan Sect arrived?”
As he was speaking, a Huashan disciple walked out from the woods.
The person who came was Linghu Chong.
“Big brother.”
Seeing that it was Linghu Chong coming down, Jiang Ning walked out of the crowd to greet him.
“Little junior brother!”
Linghu Chong was very happy to see Jiang Ning.
“Master Dingyi, Master Tianmen from the Taishan Sect and I went up the mountain together.”
Jiang Ning said briefly.
“Uncle Tianmen and the others are here too?”
Linghu Chong looked surprised.
The more than 200 female disciples of Hengshan Sect were very conspicuous, so he did not notice for a moment that someone from Taishan Sect had also arrived.
“That’s great. The uncles from Hengshan Sect also arrived at Huashan yesterday. Now Hengshan Sect and Taishan Sect are here too.”
Jiang Ning was surprised: “Master Mo is here too?”
Linghu Chong shook his head: “No, it was a senior uncle from Hengshan Sect who led the Hengshan disciples here. I heard from them that Senior Uncle Mo did not come with them and went his separate way with his new disciples.”
This time, Hengshan sent more than 70 people, led by Mr. Mo Da’s junior fellow apprentice, Lu Lianrong, who was a second-rate martial artist. He did not come when he went to Huashan with Ding Mian and Lu Bai last time.
Linghu Chong looked excited. Now, except for the Songshan Sect, the other three of the Five Mountains Sword Sects had all arrived. The support of hundreds of people plus many first-rate masters made him more confident.
After the two had a brief chat, Linghu Chong hurried to pay his respects to Ding Jing, Ding Yi and Tianmen Taoist.
“Junior nephew greets Uncle Dingjing, Uncle Dingyi, and Uncle Tianmen.”
“Ah.”
Master Dingyi nodded, and Tianmen Taoist asked, “Where is Sect Leader Yue?”
Linghu Chong replied, “My master is in the mountains. I heard from Junior Sister Yi Xin a few days ago that Senior Uncle Ding Yi has arrived in Xi’an Prefecture and asked me to wait here. I never thought Senior Uncle Tian Men would also be here.”
Taoist Tianmen nodded.
“Who are these two?”
At this time Linghu Chong noticed the Dian Cang twin swords.
Jiang Ning introduced: “These two are two seniors from the Dian Cang Sect. They are known as the Dian Cang Twin Swords in the martial arts world. They have come here specially to help us.”
Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong hurriedly saluted.
“I’ve met two seniors.”
Xie Xing and Liu Bolin both returned the greeting with a smile.
“Okay, don’t waste time, let’s go up the mountain quickly.”
Taoist Tianmen said that he was rather impatient.
“Okay, Uncle Master, please follow me.”
Linghu Chong led the way in front. There were traps set in many places on Mount Huashan. If you accidentally stepped on one, the injuries would be minor. That was why Yue Buqun asked Linghu Chong to lead the way.
“Brother Linghu…”
Among the Hengshan disciples in the back, a pair of bright eyes stared at the figure in front without blinking.
Finally seeing the person she had been thinking about for a long time, Yi Lin felt excited but also had an indescribable emotion.
She wanted to go up and ask about Linghu Chong’s injuries and how he was doing recently, but she was afraid of hearing certain answers.
Amidst this mixed emotion, everyone finally reached Mount Hua. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were already waiting. When Jiang Ning and his party had gone up the mountain before, they passed some places where there were Huashan disciples guarding them. They went up the mountain in advance to tell Yue Buqun.
“My two masters, long time no see, Taoist Tianmen.”
Yue Buqun stepped forward and saluted Ding Jing, Ding Yi and Tianmen Taoist. Ning Zhongze and Feng Buping behind him also saluted the three.
“You three have come from afar to help Huashan Sect. I am deeply grateful to you.”
“Senior Brother Yue/Master Yue is being too polite.”
Master Dingyi and the other two quickly returned the greeting.
“Master Yue, I already know that I sent Uncle Master Yu Panzi and the Songshan Sect to Huashan a while ago. At that time, I knew nothing about Huashan, and Yu Panzi did not tell me. I only found out about it afterwards.”
Taoist Tianmen said, “The last incident was done by Uncle Yu Panzi personally. It is not the attitude of our Taishan Sect. I hope Sect Master Yue will not mind. Although I am not clear about the internal affairs of your sect, I believe in the character of Sect Master Yue and the seniors of your sect.”
As he spoke, a trace of anger appeared on Tianmen Taoist’s face, but then disappeared.
Yue Buqun was surprised.
Although he had no intention of blaming Tianmen Taoist, he was surprised by the other party’s attitude of drawing a clear line between himself and Yu Panzi right from the start.
He knew that there was no harmony within the Taishan Sect, but he did not expect that the conflict between Tianmen Taoist and his uncle had intensified to this point.
Hearing what Tianmen Taoist said, Feng Buping showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Yue Buqun smiled and said, “Brother Dao, there is no need to be so. I have no intention of blaming you. The last incident was a misunderstanding. Senior Yu Panzi was thinking about the interests of our entire Five Mountains Sword Sect. Senior Dao is very righteous and I admire you deeply. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it will not affect the friendship between our Five Mountains Sects. Besides, Brother Dao came all the way to help me. I will never forget this friendship.”
Mr. Mo Da had already asked people from the Hengshan Sect to tell him the same thing. Yue Buqun knew that these two sects had been infiltrated by the Songshan Sect and understood the helplessness of the leaders of the two sects, so he naturally didn’t say anything.
“Everyone, please go inside.”
