Fu Shifeng

Chapter 274 The Xiang River has spirit
  Qin Wangshu opened his eyes suddenly and was shocked to realize that he was lying on a piece of soft grass. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a strange figure beside him. His shoulders swayed, he rolled away and took advantage of the situation to respond to the enemy.

When you distance yourself slightly, you can see that the surrounding trees are lush and the fragrance of flowers and plants fills your nose. The mist in the distance is hazy and hazy, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

And Qin Wangshu could also clearly see the strange figure. She was a woman with a dignified appearance and picturesque features. She was wearing a dark dress with a curved train, which had an ancient charm and was different from the fashion of the world.

"Who are you?" Qin Wangshu asked softly, without any panic on his face.

She still remembered that she followed the state officials sent by Lu Xuan, quietly hid in the cabin, and came to Junshan Island in Dongting Lake with them.

Someone was waiting early at the dock on the island and took the official to deliver the message. Qin Wangshu was about to follow him secretly, but he lost track of him because of a sudden thick fog.

Then, the memory became blurry. Qin Wangshu had no idea why he suddenly fell unconscious. It was possible that he had been plotted unintentionally.

"My name is Mu Xiangling, what about you?" The woman in Qu Ju was originally sitting on the ground. At this moment, she slowly stood up. She seemed to be standing straight, but she seemed to be weak and weak, like a weak willow holding the wind. Will fall down.

There was no hint of hostility or provocation in the clear voice, but Qin Wangshu did not dare to ignore it. He slowly reached for his waist, only to find that the sword had disappeared.

Qin Wangshu was startled. Opposite him, Mu Xiangling conjured up a sheathed sword in both hands and asked in a slightly innocent tone: "Are you looking for this?"

"Yes...that's my thing, can you give it back to me?"

Qin Wangshu vaguely realized that the current situation was not good. Even the weapon had been taken away by the opponent. So when he was unconscious, the opponent could take his life at any time.

But fortunately, the woman in Quju was not hostile yet, and Qin Wangshu was not an impulsive and reckless person who didn't know how to advance or retreat, so he softened his tone and took the initiative to express his goodwill.

"In the Yunmeng Pavilion, outsiders are not allowed to use force. This is the rule set by Xiaojun." Mu Xiangling shook his head gently.

"Xiaojun?"

"She is the owner of Yunmeng Pavilion." Mu Xiangling answered simply, as if she didn't know what to hide.

Qin Wangshu's mind was slightly moved. Now he was almost under the control of the other party, and the depth of Yunmeng Pavilion was unpredictable. It was not appropriate for him to make a big move. It was best to test it with words.

"Is this the Yunmeng Pavilion?" Qin Wangshu looked calm, no longer on guard, and looked around.

Mu Xiangling nodded, and Qin Wangshu sighed: "There is heavy fog in all directions, and I can't find the road. If I want to leave, where should I go?"

"There is a cloud barrier on the island, and you can't get out." Mu Xiangling said bluntly: "When ordinary people are here, what they hear and see are real and illusory, and they cannot distinguish the direction. Even if you keep walking forward, you will only know the direction." Wandering in this forest.”

When Qin Wangshu was with Afu, he had also heard of barrier formations. Some of them did not simply erect barriers to isolate, but trapped people in a maze of formations.

This kind of maze is often difficult to detect, and there is no clear distinction between it and the actual outside world. Ordinary people are likely to step into it without knowing it. It is most suitable for those hermits who do not want outsiders to discover the location of their caves, allowing outsiders to sneak out of the formation unknowingly. .

What Qin Wangshu saw now was that the cloud barrier covering Junshan Island seemed to be even deeper. She didn't even sense the magic energy that operated the maze, and couldn't even remember when she was unconscious. It was so weird that it made people shudder.

"Ms. Mu, I am the person sent by Lord Zhaoyang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver the message. I am unconscious here for some reason." Qin Wangshu knew that he was outmatched, so he said, "Jun Zhaoyang hopes to invite the master of Yunmeng Pavilion to Baling City for a meeting. , please also ask Madam Mu to convey it on your behalf."

Mu Xiangling was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiaojun doesn't like the crowded city streets, so I won't go there if I think about it."

Qin Wangshu was not surprised by this: "It seems that I was rude. In that case, please allow me to resign. I also hope that Madam Mu can give me some advice on how to leave this place."

"You...can't leave just yet." Mu Xiangling said.

Qin Wangshu frowned: "Why?"

"Because Xiaojun said that Lord Zhaoyang will come to Yunmeng Pavilion soon." Mu Xiangling seemed to have no idea what to hide: "She was worried that Lord Zhaoyang would go on a killing spree, so she wanted to keep you here."

Qin Wangshu now understood that he had probably been noticed by the other party from the moment he landed on Junshan Island. Yunmengguan detained him in order to prevent him from going into a big fight when talking to Cheng Sanwu.

"You want to take me as a hostage? I'm afraid this idea will come to nothing." Qin Wangshu felt more ridiculous than fear.

In her impression, Cheng Sanwu did not have a temperament that would be controlled and yielded obediently. What's more, he was not close to Qin Wangshu. If he became a hostage, Cheng Sanwu might not go all out to save him.

And as members of the Hanging Eaves, all of them knew very well that once they fell into the enemy's hands, instead of waiting for others to rescue them, it was better to end their lives as soon as possible to avoid being tortured and leaking secrets.

It's just that Qin Wangshu is getting closer to the day of revenge, but he doesn't want to give up his life easily at this juncture, at least to let the enemy die before him.

"Actually, you are not suitable to be a death warrior." Mu Xiangling said this without any warning.

Qin Wangshu was shocked and stood motionless. Seeing her like this, Mu Xiangling said in a soft tone: "You have concerns in your heart, and you can't resolutely die. Although you try your best to contain it, I'm sure that your true face is by no means indifferent. But in the long run, I will treat your body I’m afraid it’s not good.”

"I know my situation well and don't need others to say anything." Qin Wangshu looked slightly cold. In fact, as early as the beginning of following Afu, she knew that her qualifications and talents were not high, and it would be difficult for her to achieve high achievements in martial arts in this life.

If Qin Wangshu wants to take revenge, just practicing martial arts hard is not enough. In order to improve his martial arts to a higher level, Qin Wangshu once received Afu's secret method of digging orifices and expanding pulses. He endured the pain and replaced his bones, which laid the foundation for his current martial arts and swordsmanship.

But Qin Wangshu is only a mortal after all. Forcibly enduring the orifice and vein expansion will damage his life span and may not last long. But she already knew the price, and she never regretted it in her heart.

Therefore, Qin Wangshu has great respect and admiration for Afu. His achievements today are entirely due to her and he cannot tolerate slander from others.

But what scares Qin Wangshu the most right now is the seemingly innocent Mu Xiangling in front of him. She can easily understand what is in her heart, and she has no secrets at all.

"Your enemy is very powerful, and you are no match for him now." Mu Xiangling continued: "That person is like a blazing flame, lighting up all directions. If you try to sneak up on him, you will definitely be noticed by him. "." Qin Wangshu's face changed color slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you know who my enemy is?"

"Master Yang Wujiu of Zhurong Palace, right?" Mu Xiangling pulled out his sword and made a few gentle gestures: "His martial arts skills are extremely high, all because he stole one of my treasures. If you want to take revenge, I can help you." You and I can also get that treasure back.”

Qin Wangshu was originally in confusion, but after hearing these words, he quickly regained his composure. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is that treasure called Xiangshui Ice Soul?"

"You know?" Mu Xiangling suddenly came closer after hearing this, as if he were meeting a close friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Qin Wangshu was a little surprised by such enthusiasm and reluctantly nodded. When Cheng Sanwu practiced the Yanfeng Sword Technique, she almost watched the whole process. During this period, she sparred with Cheng Sanwu a lot. She was familiar with the sword techniques. She also knew the reason why Yang Wujiu was able to cultivate the Yanfeng Sword Technique to an advanced level. .

This Yang Wujiu came from a humble background. He was originally a blacksmith's apprentice and secretly forged weapons for a poor Jianghu man. Because this move was not approved, his hands were branded by the blacksmith, he was kicked out, and he almost starved to death on the street.

Fortunately, Yang Wujiu was rescued by the Jianghu guest, and later became his disciple. He followed him all the way through the martial arts world, challenging masters along both sides of the Yangtze River, and often doing things like killing people for money.

It was during this process that Yang Wujiu gradually acquired martial arts, and his Yanfeng sword skills were honed and continuously improved in battles with various martial arts heroes and water thieves.

The only problem is that Yang Wujiu suffers deeply from Yan Jin's self-inflicted wounds. The more powerful the sword technique, the more painful the backlash is.

The Jianghu guest was also burdened by Yan Jin's self-inflicted wounds, and died suddenly when he was forty years old, leaving Yang Wu Jiu with a lot of enemies.

According to Afu and Qin Wangshu's inquiries over the years, Yang Wujiu fled all the way south to the border of Xiaoxiang in order to avoid his enemies, and he lived incognito for several years.

Because his reputation was not well known during those days, the outside world had no way of knowing what Yang Wujiu's experience was. However, when he came out of the mountain again, there were rumors of water monsters harming people in Hengyang. The local government was helpless and posted a list inviting heroes and experts from all walks of life to help.

Yang Wujiu was involved in the process of annihilating the water demon, and found a Xiangshui Ice Soul in the water demon's lair, which resolved Yan Jin's self-injury problem, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds in the following years.

The various people who had been chasing Yang Wujiu back then were about to cause trouble after hearing the news that he had reappeared. As a result, Yang Wujiu gathered a group of Miao man thugs and took the initiative to invade the house. What followed was several A brutal killing.

It was at this time that Qin Wangshu's family was affected.

In fact, Qin Wangshu's father had no past enmity with Yang Wujiu. They were just out of moral justice and friends' invitation to fight against the menacing Yang Wujiu. At that time, Qin's father saw that Yang Wujiu was far better than before, so he originally wanted to mediate and reconcile. .

However, the hatred between Jianghu and Jianghu can never be easily resolved in a few words. In addition, Yang Wujiu did not want to settle the matter, and the two sides quickly fell into a cruel and bloody battle.

At that time, Yang Wujiu had mastered his swordsmanship, and his old enemies were no match for him and were defeated one after another.

But it was not enough for Yang Wu Jiu to simply kill all his enemies, he even attacked the family members of his enemies.

At that time, Qin's father was lucky enough to be injured and escape. He originally wanted to send away his servants and take his wife and daughter away from this dispute, but Yang Wujiu followed the blood trail and chased him.

What happened next was a deep-seated hatred that Qin Wangshu could never forget. Yang Wu Jiu killed Qin's father and saw that Qin's mother was very beautiful, so he brought several accomplices to violently humiliate her on the spot. Qin Wangshu was far from having a hairpin in his previous years, so he was still not immune.

The Qin family was wiped out overnight, but Qin Wangshu's pain seemed to have no end. She was sold to Ren Yazi by Yang Wujiu, and was resold countless times. When her body and mind were almost completely destroyed, she was sold to Ah Zi who was passing by. Fu rescued.

To be precise, Ren Yazi took a fancy to Afu who was walking alone, and called thugs to take her down. Naturally, she was killed by Afu. Most of the slaves who had not yet been sold fled on their own, and the remaining ones almost all became members of the Hangyan clan.

"You want to seek revenge from Yang Wu Jiu?"

Qin Wangshu still clearly remembers the experience of when he washed himself and put on new clothes, he immediately knelt in front of Ah Fu and begged her to teach him martial arts.

"I've heard of Yang Wu Jiu. His sword skills are very good." Ah Fu looked down at Qin Wangshu and said with a faint smile: "You can't do it. You don't want to compete with Yang Wu Jiu in martial arts." Gaoxia, I have no hope in this life... However, I do have a way to change the bones, I don’t know if you can bear it."

As long as she could get revenge, Qin Wangshu never cared about the price she had to pay. And as her martial arts skills improved, she became more and more aware of how far the gap between herself and Yang Wujiu was. Even now that she had cultivated Gang Qi, she would not Be sure to defeat such a powerful enemy.

"You mentioned just now... that the Xiangshui Ice Soul is your treasure?" Qin Wangshu noticed a clue: "But I heard that Yang Wujiu accidentally obtained this object while destroying the water demon. You..."

"Water monsters? Do you mean them?"

Mu Xiangling took two steps back and turned in a circle. With the flick of his long sleeves, several strange fish-like and beast-like spirits appeared around him. They were small in size and looked clumsy and cute, harmless to humans and animals.

When Qin Wangshu saw this, he immediately understood that the straightforward and innocent Mu Xiangling in front of him was definitely an ordinary person, but he had not noticed anything strange just now.

As a member of the Hanging Eaves, in addition to being proficient in sneaking and hiding, his perception is also very sharp. Even if there are ghosts and ghosts around, he can have some sense of it. He is definitely not so slow. The cloud barrier formation here seems to be very sensitive to the senses. The impact on perception is profound.

"Who the hell are you?"

Qin Wangshu understood that Yunmeng Pavilion was probably not what the outside world called a cultivation sect, but was probably a monster's lair. It would definitely not be a good thing if he fell into the opponent's control.

"I am Mu Xiangling." The other party said with a matter-of-fact expression, not noticing any difference: "How about it? As long as you agree, I can help you get revenge."

Qin Wangshu knew that the situation was not good, but thinking that the other party had mentioned that Cheng Sanwu was coming to Yunmeng Pavilion, he could only temporarily stabilize the other party, so he asked: "How are you going to help me?"

Mu Xiangling tapped her chin with her finger and said, "I will directly attach to your body and greatly improve your skills. That way you will have the power to fight Yang Wu Jiu."

When Qin Wangshu heard this, he couldn't help but take a step back: "Possessed? Are you trying to take over my body?"

"This is the most convenient, otherwise, you may have to wait until Yang Wujiu is old before you have the chance to kill him." Mu Xiangling looked at Qin Wangshu: "And I think you will only live as long as you are now. There’s about ten years left.”
