The fifth day of May, Dragon Boat Festival.

Because the climate in the south is hot and humid and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, the people attach great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival.The hotel where Su Lanling and the others stayed sent free fresh wormwood and calamus early in the morning, so that they could hang on the door to drive away evil spirits and insects.Some disciples of the Wudang School were also ordered to bring zongzi and realgar wine, which were regarded as holiday gift boxes.He also informed them that Daoist Chongxu invited them to go up the mountain after dusk to reminisce about the old days and have dinner together for the festival.

Although I don't know whether Gu Qingfeng's speculation is accurate, but Su Lanling thinks it should be eight or nine, so he can't help worrying.After all, the opponent is Taoist Mu, one of the top swordsmen in the world who is stronger than Ye Gucheng, and they cannot allow them to underestimate the enemy for a moment.

But fortunately, he was a young genius on the first day of the junior high school. Under the premise that Ximen Chuuxue's persuasion was ineffective, he made a decisive attack and took Su Lanling out to watch the dragon boat race.

The ancient times are different from the modern times. The modern spiritual civilization is prosperous. You may think that dragon boat racing is nothing to see, but in ancient times, it was an important annual recreational activity.The atmosphere at the scene was also very cheerful and intense. Su Lanling was worried at first, but he only knew hahaha within a quarter of an hour after arriving at the scene.

After the three of them watched the dragon boat race, Su Lanling and the first day of the junior high school ate all the way along the snack street.Delicious food comes first, but Taoist Mu and everything are just clouds in the sky. It wasn't until Su Lanling sat down in the inn after eating and drinking that he remembered this matter again and went to find Gu Qingfeng again.

Gu Qingfeng was not worried at all, he was still playing chess in the room, seeing Su Lanling like this, he persuaded him: "Don't worry, there are only two people in Mu Taoist's hands now, he absolutely dare not make big moves."

In the past, they hid in the dark, and the plan might have a chance of success, but now that the ghost villa has been put on the bright side, Taoist Mu is stupid to hit a stone with an egg when there is a big difference between the enemy and ourselves.

"But since he knows that there is a big difference in strength now, why doesn't he rest and recuperate, but insists on taking action instead?"

Regarding Su Lanling's question, Gu Qingfeng only said indifferently: "Since it is destined to be weak, then there is no need for it to exist."

Mu Taoist will not let himself leave any clues.Although he can't be the head of Wudang now, he is still the best swordsman in the world. Without a ghost villa, there can be a second and a third one, but if Mu Taoist's identity is stained, then there is no possibility of turning over up.

The sun went down and it was getting dark.

The lights in the hall have been lit, but the beams are still very dark. The sun can't shine here, and neither can the lights. It's like many corners of the world will never be bright.

Su Lanling and the others were the first to arrive, a little early, but there was already a person in the hall, and he was a gentleman on the beam.

Lu Xiaofeng put his eyes on the beam, looked down secretly, just happened to meet Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, Lu Xiaofeng even blinked at him deliberately.

Ximen Chuuxue seemed not aware of it, calmly looked away, and said to the boy next to him: "There is a strange smell in the room, can you open the skylight?"

The boy naturally responded, and took a bamboo pole to open the high skylights on all sides of the hall.

In an instant, the evening wind from the top of the mountain rushed in like a vortex, bringing a few fallen leaves and hovering over the hall endlessly, forming a small whirlwind at a speed visible to the naked eye of ordinary people...

Seeing Ximen Chuixue looking at the fallen leaves circling upwards, the boy explained: "Don't worry, Master Ximen, the leaves will not fall. The layout of this hall implies a formation, which can definitely not only ventilate the air but also prevent the feelings of the people below." To a cool breeze."

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at the man whose beard was about to be blown to the sky, nodded and praised: "This formation is very delicate."

The boy was pleased with the words, and the scene was harmonious.

After a few people sat down for a while, footsteps sounded again in the hall, a group of Taoist priests in purple clothes and black crowns filed in, and the one walking in the front was Taoist Wudang Mu.

Daoist Chongxu hadn't arrived yet, and the first chair in the main seat was empty.But even so, Mu Taoist could only sit on the second one.This is the rule of Wudang, and it is also the rule of Jianghu, no one can change it.

Taoist Mu seemed to be in high spirits tonight, and he took the initiative to say hello to Su Lanling and the others.

Su Lanling and Gu Qingfeng responded calmly, but Ximen Chuuxue remained silent as if he didn't see it.

From the moment Ximen Chuuxue knew what Taoist Mu had done, he never talked to him again, nor did he bother to talk to him.

The disciple who followed Mu Taoist was a little angry, and was about to ask Ximen Chuuxue, but Mu Taoist stopped him, shook his head and smiled, "I don't blame him, no matter how rude he is, I don't blame him."

The disciple froze for a moment, and asked humiliatedly, "Why?"

Mu Daoren said: "Because he is Ximen Chuuxue!" Ximen Chuuxue who has no sword in his hand and a sword in his heart!

As long as the other person is alive, he has the right not to look at anyone.

The disciple was suddenly speechless.

The hall was brightly lit, and a bell rang outside. Taoist Mu took the initiative to welcome the guests, and the guests came one after another.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't care about the strong wind that could blow people into the sky, and stared at the guests who arrived at the door—there were a few people from Ghost Villa mixed in there.

Each of them is staring at their target closely, and only waits for the signal to be sent before jumping over to make a shot.

The only one that no one has dealt with seems to be Mu Taoist. Is it because he has stopped asking about the affairs of the Jianghu for a long time, and the old swordsman did not take him as a target at all?Lu Xiaofeng didn't think about it anymore, because at this time his own target also appeared.

Daoist Master Chongxu, the head of Wudang wearing a purple gold Taoist crown, walked slowly into the door, surrounded by four Taoist boys with law enforcement weapons.

This contemporary Daoist Chongxu not only read through the classics, but also experienced hundreds of battles when he was young.Although his swordsmanship, internal strength, and self-cultivation are not comparable to Mu Taoist and Ximen Chuuxue, there are few people in the world who can match him. At least before meeting today, Lu Xiaofeng did not have the confidence to escape from him.

But today is different, Lu Xiaofeng doesn't know what Daoist Chongxu has experienced before, but now he seems very tired and weak.

The guests are all here, and the dinner begins.

Daoist Chongxu, as the master, naturally wanted to stand up to speak, but the moment he stood up, all the 72 ever-burning lights inside and outside the hall suddenly went out, and the brightly lit hall instantly became dark.

A series of screams suddenly sounded in the darkness, and a stronger sound of wind blew over Daoist Chongxu's head from the beam of the main hall, shaking his Taoist crown, as if the wind was blowing through the sleeves of a night walker.When he reached out to support the Taoist crown, the Taoist crown was gone.

With the sound of "Qiang", the Seven Star Sword on Dao Chongxu's waist was also unsheathed at the same time, but he did not pull it out by himself.

Daoist Chongxu flew back immediately, but he still didn't dodge - he only felt a burst of coldness between his ribs under his side, and the wet liquid slowly flowed out.

These things happened almost at the same instant, and most people didn't know what was going on at all, and of course they didn't know how to respond.Those shrill screams made this sudden change even more mysterious and terrifying.

Then everyone heard Taoist Mu shouting: "Who has a fire bag? Hurry up..."

Before Taoist Mu could finish his words, a huge flame shot up quickly, illuminating the entire hall—it was Su Lanling who threw the fire folder into the wine jar.

The light finally came, but everyone was even more surprised. No one could believe what they saw, but all these things happened—several important disciples of Wudang's sect fell into a pool of blood, including the head of the sect. Xu Daochang.

The only one standing was the famous Mu Taoist of Wudang.But there was also blood on his body, and although he was injured, it didn't look serious.

Everyone didn't think much about it, because Mu Taoist can be said to have the highest martial arts in the hall, even if someone wanted to kill him, it would not be so easy.

Su Lanling quickly took out the red medicine from his package and distributed it to the injured disciples one by one. Unfortunately, some people lost their lives before they could drink the medicine.

"The murderer must still be here. Before the truth is known, everyone had better stay here." The situation was very serious, and Mu Taoist's tone became very serious. As the only person present who could take charge, he said firmly: "If anyone insists on If you walk out of this hall, don't blame Wudang disciples for being rude to distinguished guests."

No one moved, and no one dared to move, because this matter was too serious, and no one wanted to be suspected. Everyone kept their mouths shut and said nothing.

As a good friend of Taoist Mu, Layman Gu Song said slowly: "Calm down first, none of the people in our hall have weapons on them, this cannot be concealed, and it can be verified after a body search."

Layman Gu Song's words were reasonable, and everyone agreed with them, and then looked at Su Lanling who took out the medicine out of thin air...

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Gu Song Layman continued to speak: "Moreover, so many people were injured at the same time, it means that there was more than one murderer. They might have retreated in the darkness just now, but it is impossible to kill them in such a short period of time. All exit Wudang within the time limit."

Mu Taoist nodded in agreement, and immediately led a dozen elites out of the house regardless of the wounds, looking for the murderer's trace.

Su Lanling was busy for a while, but fortunately, his hard work paid off, and he finally saved half of the lives of the people.He stood up and was about to take out his handkerchief, when Ximen Chuuxue's handkerchief was already handed over, and after he finished wiping his face, warm tea was handed over.

Su Lanling turned back and smiled at Ximen Chuixue, really didn't know how to praise him.

Probably because some people couldn't understand their dog abuse behavior, and soon someone asked: "Mrs. Ximen should have weapons..."

Su Lanling had just heard the words of Layman Gu Song, but he had no time to respond. He thought that this matter would be over, but he didn't expect that there were still people who rushed upwards.

Su Lanling turned to look at the person who spoke, "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

The man said: "Who doesn't know Madam Ximen's sleeves..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Su Lanling interrupted him and said, "Then Gu Qingfeng, the head of Qingfeng Guan, will also do it. Why don't you ask him if he has any weapons?"

The man choked, and then he remembered that Gu Qingfeng also had things in his sleeves, but he never revealed it, and was almost forgotten by others...

Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Su Lanling immediately sneered: "If you don't have any evidence, don't force it. Are you the only one who knows how to be clever?"

With one sentence, the face of the other party turned red immediately, he snorted angrily, and turned his head away: "Woman with a long tongue, I don't bother to talk to you."

Hey, hey, you can't say it, so you come to attack personally? !

Su Lanling was about to scold back, when Daoist Chongxu next to him said: "The poor Taoist knows that you are also worried too much, but Mrs. Ximen saved the lives of many disciples of our Wudang School, and we Wudang people absolutely trust her." Don't even think about it, if Su Lanling really wants to kill someone, why bother to save him? !Not a showman.

Hearing what Daoist Chongxu said, everyone stopped talking. After all, everyone in the family chose to believe it, and they, outsiders, were so restless.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and two Taoist priests in purple strode forward to the Taoist priest Chongxu, holding a long sword in their hands, which turned out to be the Seven Star Sword of the master of Wudang.But the other treasure, the Zijin Crown, has flown away like a yellow crane and disappeared without a trace.

Others don't know where the Zijinguan is, but Lu Xiaofeng does.

The purple gold crown was on his head at the moment, covered by a huge felt hat.

He took it off Daoist Chongxu's head with a consonant finger.

Lu Xiaofeng made sure that there was absolutely no one following him, so he entered the agreed place through the secret passage behind the rockery.

The huge basement extends in all directions, and it is quiet inside at the moment, no human voices can be heard, and no lights can be seen.

Haven't those people come back yet?

Lu Xiaofeng was about to ask someone, when suddenly he heard someone softly say: "Here."

It was Ye Xue's voice.

When she saw Lu Xiaofeng, her expression was very strange, like surprise, and like joy: "You got it too?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and asked, "Where are the others?"

Ye Xue smiled and said, "They're all back, only the adoptive father hasn't come back yet." After finishing speaking, she bit her lip again, and said shyly, "Before I always suspected that you were not one of us, but I didn't expect that you could really succeed. .”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, but didn't speak.He was not in the mood to play around at all at the moment, because until now, he still hadn't been able to see the face of the old knife handle.

time is limited.

........................

The large basement is well ventilated, but everyone's breathing is still very short.The seven people who participated in this operation are all here now, and there are no unexpected mistakes or injuries at all.It's just that the tension and excitement at that moment will not calm down soon. Everyone is still very excited, and almost no one speaks.

Some people still had blood on their clothes, presumably because they stabbed too hard, and some even had blood splattered on their faces.They were all very happy, because what they did tonight would undoubtedly change the history and destiny of martial arts in the world.

Hai Qikuo took out a jug of wine from the corner of the basement, broke it open with trembling hands, and drank with everyone.

In such exciting times, only spirits can satisfy their needs.

Lu Xiaofeng was not in the mood to drink, and asked again: "Why hasn't the old knife come back?"

"Because he still has a lot to do." The voice came from outside the basement, "He still has to stop the pursuers for you and count the results of the battle."

The old knife handle finally appeared, and the results were undoubtedly brilliant. Even his voice was a little hoarse with excitement: "We succeeded!"

Prudent and careful planning, quick and accurate actions, as long as you can do these two points, no matter what you do, you will succeed.

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, the mask of the old sword also came alive, but he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

He didn't ask Lu Xiaofeng if he succeeded, how did he know that this operation was completely successful?Unless he was still in the main hall after the light was on, he had already seen that the Zijin crown was not on the head of Daoist Chongxu.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly took off the felt hat, and the purple gold crown immediately emitted a brilliant and beautiful brilliance under the candlelight, Lu Xiaofeng said: "Did you forget to ask me for something?"

The old knife handle just glanced at it lightly, and said indifferently: "I'm not in a hurry."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Of course you are not in a hurry, because Daoist Chongxu is not dead, even if you get the purple gold crown, it will be useless."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to say these words at first, but at this moment he suddenly couldn't help the impulse: "When I go to pick the purple gold crown, Daoist Chongxu will definitely reach out to his head to help you, so that you have a chance to grab the sword from his waist."

"Because your greatest secret is in that sword!"

The old swordsman didn't deny it, but just looked at Lu Xiaofeng coldly, waiting for him to continue.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Not only do you want me to distract him, but you also want me to take the blame for you. Because I shot very hard just now, I must have made two finger marks on the purple gold crown. Apart from me, there is probably no other person in the world who took off the Taoist crown on his head with two fingers, and this is the best proof."

There was a trace of complacency in the voice of the old knife handle, "Yes, this is called killing three birds with one stone."

Three birds?

Before Lu Xiaofeng could realize which three birds it was, the excited people around him suddenly collapsed, their lips turned purple, foaming at the mouth, as if they were poisoned.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly turned his head to look at the wine jar on the table, it was poisonous!

"So it's killing three birds with one stone..." Lu Xiaofeng finally understood the plan of the old knife.

The old knife said with a smile: "As long as you die now, everything will be over."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help showing a wry smile, and the old knifeman also laughed out loud, one was silent and the other was loud, forming a stark contrast.

The author has something to say: I made a mistake yesterday. Ye Guhong is not Ye Gucheng's cousin, but his cousin.

In the original book, it was about the distant cousin, but it didn’t say that Taoist Mu had a relationship with Ye Gucheng, so I guess Ye Lingfeng was actually related to Ye Gucheng. After all, he and Ye Guhong were the father and son, and Ye Guhong followed. Ye Lingfeng's surname.
