The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 193 Linghu Chong has made a meritorious service
Although Feng Qingyang lost to Dongfang Bubai that day, there was no problem with the concepts and techniques of Dugu Nine Swords. He lost to the internal skill.After all, the Jianzong disciple did not practice any advanced internal skills. He came down the mountain early to start his career. After becoming famous with the Dugu Nine Swords, he spent less time on internal skills.

The moment he lost, he didn't feel much regret. Instead, he recalled the time when Senior Brother Ning of the Qi Sect persuaded him to spend more time on meditating and refining Qi. Both of them were leaders among their peers, and they both cherished each other.It's a pity that the two sects of Qi and Sword turned against each other later, and they never spoke together again.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the Guan Yuan in front of him who had helped the Qi Sword to become one again, and he felt a little grateful in his heart.

"This boy can be regarded as an expert. For hundreds of years in the Huashan sect, if he is said to have extraordinary talents and extraordinary abilities, I am afraid that this boy will not be ranked. But if he is thoughtful and full of calculations, he can do it under Yue Buqun. It is said that the young is better than the old and is better than the old."

"Even Dongfang Bubai couldn't defeat him. This sword spirit is really sharp!"

While chatting, they saw a figure emerging from the edge of the cliff. The two of them took a closer look, and it turned out to be the contemporary senior master of the Huashan Sect, Linghu Chong.

Originally, the dense forest here was very remote and inaccessible, and Feng Qingyang lived in seclusion here just for the sake of peace and quiet.But he didn't expect Linghu Chong to touch him too.

"Boy Linghu, you are not at home to take care of your wife and children, why are you here?"

Yu Shishi couldn't help curling her lips when she saw that Feng Qingyang looked kindly towards Linghu Chong. The difference in treatment was too big.

"Uncle Grand Master, Junior Brother, Miss Yu, you are all here."

After Linghu Chong stood still, he was embarrassed and a little surprised. Guan Yuan saw that his expression was not right, so he asked.

He was quite happy and explained the reason.

It turned out that Dongfang Bubai jumped off a cliff and died that day. Although he was an enemy, Linghu Chong respected him quite a bit.

He originally thought that he had learned the Dugu Nine Swords and could be regarded as a top master in the world, but he never expected that there was a world outside the world and there were people outside the world.

Firstly, it was the shocking martial arts, and secondly, Dongfang Bubai's seemingly charming appearance could not hide his heroic spirit, which made Linghu Chong amazed.

Linghu Chong couldn't bear the corpse of this generation of heroes to be exposed in the wilderness, so he climbed down Siguo Cliff, intending to collect his corpse.

Unexpectedly, the mountains and valleys below Siguo Cliff are so high and the trees are so dense that it is almost impossible to walk.After searching for several days, Dongfang Bubai's body was not found.

He jumped onto the branch, looked at the endless forest sea, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It is an elegant thing for a generation of heroes to be accompanied by green mountains and green waters."

Since Linghu Chong returned to Huashan, he has almost lived in semi-seclusion. He has almost no longer interfered with Jianghu affairs, but he, who loves freedom by nature, can't bear it.

If Yue Lingshan hadn't given him a son and asked him to calm down and stay on Mount Huashan, he would have gone down the mountain to be at ease.

His long whistle stirred up countless birds, and the whistle flew lightly and spread far and wide.

Linghu Chong seemed to have released all the depression and loneliness he had been suppressing in his heart recently, and used this whistle to send Dongfang Bubai on his last leg.

Just when Linghu Chong was losing his temper and was about to return home, he saw something was wrong.

Just now, many birds in the forest were frightened by his whistle, flying onto the branches and causing chaos, but there seemed to be no movement at all in the dense forest in the southeast, not a single bird.

You must know that this place is inaccessible, it is really a paradise for these little animals, but there is no trace there at all, so Linghu plans to go there and investigate.But this sight didn't matter. Linghu Chong walked into the dense forest, but he immediately lost track and lost his direction. He walked around for a long time without coming out.

He vaguely saw a green light flickering deep in the dense forest, but when he calmed down and looked again, he could not find it.Linghu Chong didn't understand why, he was tossing back and forth in the forest but couldn't get close. He even felt like a ghost was beating a wall. Despite his heroic nature, he was also a little afraid of this thing that was beyond the reach of human beings.

Seeing the sun setting in the west and dusk approaching, Linghu Chong couldn't help but jump up to the treetops. Standing at the top of the dense forest, he could barely discern the direction and used Qinggong to get out of trouble.

Unfortunately, dusk was already deep, so Linghu Chong found a nearby tree hole to survive the night. He waited until dawn before getting up and returning to the mountain gate. He happened to meet Guan Yuan and others who came to visit Feng Qingyang on the road.

After listening to Linghu Chong's narration, Guan Yuan and Yu Shishi's eyes lit up. If there was anything strange about crossing the cliff, then the possibility of Zhang Chaogu mentioned in "Xu Yi Jian Zhi" is extremely high.

Linghu Chong saw that the two of them were very interested, so he took them to the dense forest again.

Guan Yuan did not rush in. Instead, he stood on a high place and took a rough look at the direction.This forest is backed by a cliff, and in front of it is a mountain stream, which gathers clear springs flowing out of several nearby valleys. The water is not small, rushing down the mountain, and it should eventually merge into the Wei River.

Viewed from a height, there seems to be a small open space in the middle of the dense forest.

According to Linghu Chong, since it was difficult to determine the direction while walking in the dense forest, Guan Yuan planned to use Qinggong directly from the treetops and jump all the way to the middle to take a look.

He asked Yu Shishi to light a fire outside the dense forest, put some broken branches and fallen leaves wet with dew, and a puff of clear smoke rose up as a guide to return.Then he took up the Golden Wild Goose Skill, tapped the treetop lightly, and jumped straight in.

It went smoothly at first, but as he got closer to the depths of the jungle, Guan Yuan began to feel something was wrong.

The closer I got to the depths, the more sluggish I felt in my movements, as if I was in a quagmire, with endless resistance every step I took.

This feeling became more and more intense, and even in a daze, the movement of my innate power and true energy seemed to be hindered.

Guan Yuan felt the changes in his body and did not dare to go deep, so he returned to the ground.

But when he returned to the jungle ground, he felt much better. It seemed that the magic here had to include the effect of a forbidden air.

Guan Yuan originally wanted to try walking from the ground to the middle of the dense forest, but unfortunately, as Linghu Chong said, it is difficult to distinguish the direction in the dense forest. He walked through the thorns and thorns for a long time, but finally returned to his previous position.

Seeing that his patience was gradually being exhausted, Guan Yuan jumped onto a branch and looked in the direction of the green smoke, planning to walk out of the dense forest first and then make plans.

Fortunately, he had the guidance of Qing Yan, otherwise he might not be able to return to Linghu Chong and Yu Shishi.

Taking the water bag handed over by Yu Shishi, Guan Yuan thought to himself while drinking water and resting.

"With something so weird, it must be the place I'm looking for."

"However, someone should have deliberately set up some formation here. It captivates the mind, confuses the direction, and has the effect of confining the air."

He remembered the Mrs. Jin he met next to Tang Bohu, and she also gave him a few books on the essence of formations.It's a pity that I have been traveling all over the world in the past few years and haven't had time to study it carefully.If there was anyone he could come into contact with who could be considered proficient in battle tactics, it was the Peach Blossom Island lineage.
