Chapter 188 Cang Ling Sword Discussion (Part 3)

() Although Cangling Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are two roads into the town.

A main road extends all the way from "Tongqiu", the nearest county town here.

There is also a small road, which is the road that appeared when Feng Bujue and the others entered the script.

Let’s talk about the main road first. The situation at the other end of the main road is relatively tense.

Today's Tongqiu is filled with people from various sects, figures from all walks of life, and even soldiers and horses transferred from the imperial court. There are thousands of people inside and outside. Naturally, it is impossible for all this group of people to go to Cangling. If they did, the small town would be directly trampled to the ground.

Therefore, taking the main road to enter Cangling also requires certain conditions.

After discussing with each other, the heads of the various sects came up with two rules. First of all, there are many disciples under our sect, and it is impossible to bring them all. Therefore, a sect leader can select at most twenty disciples and follow them into the town, while the remaining disciples all stay in Tongqiu and are not allowed to cause trouble; secondly, " People who are "evil demons and heretics" are not allowed to pass. Of course, what is evil? Isn’t it the so-called “righteous people” who have the final say?

Except for some murderers and flower-picking thieves who are wanted by the Jianghu and the government, some relatively marginalized martial arts figures have undoubtedly been classified as evil and have been hindered in Tongqiu City. Although these people do not have the reputation of being chivalrous, they are not evil people. Most of them just like to be alone or have perverse personalities, so they rarely make friends with the righteous. Now they have experienced for once what it means to be united against different parties.

It should be mentioned here that in the setting of this script, the court generally will not interfere with vendettas in Jianghu, unless these things affect civilians, and people in Jianghu will not interfere with the affairs of the court. Whoever is the emperor can do anything. Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with these warriors. This is an invisible line between the two. It is never allowed to be crossed.

Therefore, at least on the surface, the imperial troops came to Tongqiu just to maintain order. If there were people from the Jianghu who disturbed the people, they would be arrested and dealt with, and they would not care about the rest.

Let’s talk about the small road. Those who take this road... are naturally blocked on the main road, or they are people who cannot show up in Tongqiu at all.

Disciples from various major sects guarded Tongqiu day and night, trying to sneak through the main road or force their way in. They are all looking for death. Those with poor martial arts will be shot into honeycombs by random arrows, while those with high martial arts... will be besieged by hundreds of people one after another, and sooner or later their internal strength will be exhausted.

Therefore...the only way for these people to enter Cangling Town is to take a small road. As long as the number of people is small and the whereabouts are well hidden. After leaving Tongqiu, you can reach this trail after a day's detour.

But here, there is also an evil star guarding it.

The identity of the old man in blue robe is Ye Hai, the housekeeper of "Sword God" Ye Cheng's house. There is no story about him in the world, and not many people have heard of his name. Because he has never been in the world.

Ye Hai joined the Ye Mansion as a servant at the age of twelve. It has been more than sixty years. Since he became the steward of the Ye Mansion at the age of thirty-two, the Ye family has changed three owners. Only he, the butler, remained unmoved.

Ye Hai's martial arts skills were all given by Ye Cheng's grandfather. Ye Hai's qualifications are not high, and he knows this very well. And as a servant, even if he is really talented. He is also not qualified to join the Ye family. But back then, Mr. Ye had been secretly watching this young man. When the young master was practicing swordsmanship, he asked Ye Hai to sweep the floor next to him and deliberately read out some of his inner thoughts. Ye Hai practiced martial arts secretly at night, and the whole house pretended not to see it.

The martial arts of the Ye family are all about superior kung fu, not to mention that hard work can make up for weakness. Even though Ye Hai has mediocre qualifications, he has achieved some success by the time he is thirty years old, which is considered to be a success.

He is a near-first-class master in the world of martial arts. Two years later, he became the steward of the Ye Mansion, married a wife and had children. For Ye Hai, this was the happiest day in his life.

A few years later, Master Ye passed away, and Ye Cheng's father inherited the family business. He allowed Ye Hai's son to join the Ye family and become a formal disciple. It's a pity that this son was young and competitive. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, before he had completed his studies, he fought fiercely with others outside and died unexpectedly. Ye Hai's wife also died of illness not long after.

After losing his family, the sense of mission to serve the Ye family became Ye Hai's entire spiritual sustenance and life pursuit. It can be said that Ye Hai has always been grateful and loyal to the Ye family throughout his life.

Nowadays, when it comes to Ye Hai's martial arts attainments, even if the leaders of those major sects come, they are definitely no match for him. There are only two types of people who can defeat Ye Hai. The first type is the peerless masters, such as Xie San and Ye Cheng. The second type is the innate masters who have trained hard for many years, and these The kind of person must have... aptitudes higher than Ye Hai's, whose moves are not inferior, and whose internal strength is at least 60% higher than that of Ye Hai. Only with these three things can you defeat him.

With such a number one person guarding the path, the consequences can be imagined.

In just half a month, many evil people who were known or could not be named in the world were directly killed by Ye Hai. This was considered as a way to eliminate harm for the people.

Among the people in the world who were both good and evil, those who were not good at martial arts were all "invited" back by him. Only the real "masters", those worthy of watching the duel, entered Cangling Town from the alley.

As for people like Bai Dian, who is a figure in the underworld on the surface but actually has a background in the imperial court, many of them also died. The imperial court is the imperial court after all. Since ancient times, the government has always said one thing and done another. They do not interfere in the affairs of the underworld on the surface, but in fact, they intervene in many places behind the scenes, but they never admit it. Therefore, when encountering similar situations, people in the underworld will ruthlessly kill the people in the imperial court. Anyway, you will not admit that this person was sent by you, so you will suffer in silence.

…………

Also on this night, in the mountains and forests north of Cangling Town, not far from the legendary haunted temple.

Here, the vines are knee-high and silent. Looking up at the forest, the dark and dense shade is all over the ground, the branches are crisscrossed above the head, and the ground is covered with thorns.

But a figure flew over, stepping on the grass silently.

The person who came was a woman, wearing a green robe, with a slim and fit figure, and her appearance can be regarded as pure and elegant.

But at this moment, her expression was solemn and solemn, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Not bad for Qinggong." A cold voice sounded.

As he spoke, another black shadow appeared in an instant. Judging from his posture, he not only did not hold a weapon, but also had his hands behind his back, as if he could win without even using his hands.

The woman did not say anything, and with the sword holding the strong wind, she used her lifelong cultivation to sweep away with a sword.

The black shadow avoided the sword with an incredible move, and stepped on the long sword with his right foot, and suppressed the sword with a strong internal force, allowing the woman to blush and use all her strength, but she could not draw the sword at all.

"Unfortunately, the Qinggong you are best at is just a juggling trick for me." The black shadow said in a deep voice: "Ms. Lu, it's just your bad luck that you discovered my secret... so you must die."

Before Lu Qingning replied, there was a sudden change around him.

At this moment, a strange bell sound suddenly rang out in the darkness, and at the same time, both of them were surrounded by an indescribable chill...
