different paths

The Tianzhu Sword Sect is located in Tianzhu Mountain. As soon as Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan came to the foot of the mountain, they saw two swordsmen in fluttering white clothes descending from the sky: "The two are Jia Wujue, a disciple of Qianmianmen, and Yue Chentan, a disciple of Shaolin. ?”

"Exactly." Jia Wujue took out the Taichong Token again and handed it to the two for inspection.

When the two saw the token, they nodded and said: "Master Taichong Chai has written a letter explaining the situation. Please come with us."

Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan followed the footsteps of those two people into the mountain gate, only to find that this ordinary mountain gate actually hides a mystery.The positions of the mountains, rocks, plants and trees are all particular, which coincides with the way of gossip. At first glance, it seems that the whole process is unimpeded. In fact, there is only one life gate that can get out of this formation.

Jia Wuzhen couldn't help but praised: "This mountain gate mechanism is really wonderful."

The swordsman who led the way replied: "Your Excellency is absurd. The elders of the faction once said that this sect can only guard against gentlemen but not villains."

"Since that's the case, why don't you send more people to guard the mountain gate?" Jia Wuhai asked curiously.

"My Tianzhu sect has always stayed away from world affairs, and only seeks the true meaning of swordsmanship in the mountains and rivers. There are neither enemies nor strong enemies. Presumably, the bloody storm in the martial arts has nothing to do with our sect." The leading swordsman explained.

"I'm afraid after all this, it will be difficult for your faction to get out of the matter." Yue Chentan said in a deep voice.

"Exactly, the head is also troubled by this matter." The swordsman leading the way sighed.

If it is true as the swordsman said, the Tianzhu Sword Sect has neither enemies nor strong enemies, then naturally it has nothing to do with other sects in Jianghu.Who is such a sword sect who lives in seclusion in the mountains and does not fight against the world, who wants to draw the flames of war to them?What exactly does this real behind-the-scenes person want to achieve?

Passing through a bamboo forest, Yue Chentan and Jia Wujue finally met the current head of the Tianzhu Sword Sect, Mo Zheng who created the Hundred Flowers Chain Sword.Mo Zhengqi, with the same name as him, looks like a free and unrestrained person. Such a person can only find true freedom in the life of idle clouds and wild cranes.Jia Wuju believed a little more in what the leading swordsman said.

"Jia Wujue of the Thousand Faces Sect, Shaolin disciple Yue Chentan, has met Sect Leader Mo."

"There is no need to be formal." Mo Zheng had a kind face, "Master Chai has informed me of the general situation. If you two need any information, as long as my Tianzhu Sect can help you, you will definitely know everything."

Yue Chentan looked at Mo Zheng with some serious eyes: "I have something unclear, and I want to ask Sect Leader Mo for advice."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Is it possible for the Hundred Flowers Chain Sword to be learned by someone other than the direct disciple?"

"It's impossible."

"Why is Sect Leader Mo so sure?"

"The sword manual of Hundred Flowers Lianjian has been kept by me. Others cannot refer to the sword manual without permission."

"Is it possible for the disciple who has learned the Hundred Flowers Chain Sword to pass on his sword skills to others?"

"It's absolutely impossible." Mo Zheng shook his head, "The most important step in the Baihua Lianhuan swordsmanship is to use external force to break through the gate, which requires the help of someone with deep internal force. Judging by the cultivation base of my disciples, none of them can complete this step."

"Since that's the case, does Sect Leader Mo have any idea about the sword wound of the Hundred Flowers Chain Sword on the corpse?" Jia Wujue asked.

"I'm really..." Sect Leader Mo slowly shook his head, "If you both go to ask my disciples, maybe there will be new clues."

"Can the direct disciple of the sect master be in the mountains?" Yue Chentan asked.

"The old man's five personal disciples all went down the mountain. I'm afraid they have arrived at Lifeng Villa by now."

"Why did you go down the mountain?" Yue Chentan continued to ask.

"I'm ashamed to say that although my Tianzhu Sect has excellent swordsmanship, I don't have excellent weapons. Even my direct disciples, the weapons they use are only made of ordinary iron. When the weapons were released, they wanted to take this opportunity to find a weapon that they could take advantage of."

"So that's how it is." Jia Wukai nodded and said, "The attraction of magical weapons to martial arts practitioners is immeasurable. I don't know where is Lifeng Villa?"

"It's not far from here, and the small town at the foot of the mountain is just a few dozen miles eastward."

The two had just arrived at Tianzhu Town at the foot of the mountain, when Yue Chentan suddenly murmured: "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Jia Wuhai stopped in his tracks.

"People who are idle and wild cranes, how can they care about some magical weapons? Isn't this as ridiculous as monks who dislike the poor material of Buddhist beads?"

Jia Wujue rolled his eyes: "The ones who descended from the mountain are the disciples of the Tianzhu sect, and they may not have reached a certain level of cultivation."

Yue Chentan said lightly: "Do you remember what Cai Mo Zheng said just now?"

"He said, 'I'm ashamed to say it...'" Jia Wujue suddenly realized, "If you are really a person who is indifferent, what is the importance of having superior weapons, and why do you say 'ashamed'!"

Yue Chentan nodded slightly: "And..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Wujue hurriedly replied: "Besides, Mo Zheng is not the weird part." His eyes flashed, "When I just entered the mountain gate, I felt a little strange. Since this Mo Zheng There's a problem, and there's an explanation for those oddities."

"Oh?"

"The flowers and plants in the Shanmen Formation include Siya orchids, chrysanthemums, narcissus, and kudzu. If I read correctly, those Siya are graceful and graceful, extremely beautiful, and absolutely extraordinary. I think this Tianzhu sect is quiet and indifferent , why would you specially find these expensive flowers and plants to decorate the mountain gate?"

After listening to Jia Wuchai's words, there seemed to be a faint smile in Yue Chentan's eyes: "That's right, the wooden house Mo Zheng lives in is the same. It looks simple, but it's actually made of Jinshen gloomy wood. Silk nanmu is more expensive."

"Jin Sinan is gloomy and woody?" Jia Wujue asked in surprise.

Ordinary golden nanmu is already expensive, and golden nanmu gloomy wood is even more rare.Even if you have strong financial resources, if you use golden nanmu without the permission of the government, you will be convicted for exceeding the etiquette system.Except for exclusive use by the royal family, only a few temples have the right to use golden nanmu.But now, it is not strange that this golden nanmu, which symbolizes status and wealth, actually appeared in the sword sect who returned to the mountain forest.

"Go back immediately." Yue Chentan said in a deep voice, "It's just that I'm afraid it's too late."

It is indeed too late.

As soon as the carriage arrived in front of the mountain gate, a raging fire could already be seen on the mountain.Thick smoke shot straight into the sky, looking like it was going to swallow the blue sky and the day.And in front of the mountain gate, the flowers and plants that were scattered at random also disappeared completely.

Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan jumped out of the carriage, looked at the fierce fire on the top of the mountain, and fell silent for a while.

"Ouch! Why is there such a big fire!" The groom who drove the carriage exclaimed, "Thanks to the fact that there is no one living here. If you don't look at the fire, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape!"

"No one?" Jia Wujue said in astonishment, "Isn't this the residence of the Tianzhu Sword Sect?"

"Of course not." The groom shook his head, "The Tianzhu Sword Sect is located at the North Peak of Tianzhu Mountain. This is the South Peak. Usually, no one comes here."

"Why?" Yue Chentan asked.

Seeing his solemn expression, the groom shrank his neck and said, "A few months ago, a few people who went into the mountains to cut firewood encountered mountain ghosts here, and one of them was horrified to death on the spot, and those who came back alive were also crazy. In the area of ​​Nanfeng, no one comes."

The people at the foot of the mountain did not dare to come, so that it would be convenient for the fake Tianzhu sect to do things.The so-called mountain ghost was probably also pretended by the same group of people.It's just that this group of people started planning a few months ago, hibernating in this deep mountain, what exactly is it for?

Jia Wujue only felt that the matter was full of fog, and when one layer of fog was cleared away, another layer of fog was shrouded in it.Originally thought that the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, but in the end it is still the mountains and rivers.
