Sword from Songshan

Chapter 131 Let me do whatever I want

The lotus leaves are infinite, and the lotus flowers are different.

Sadly, it is early winter now and the lake is filled with dead leaves. We cannot see the beautiful scenery of red flowers and green leaves reaching the sky as described in the poem.

"We are not interested in accompanying you to see the scenery!"

Walking on the lake embankment, Ren Yingying looked stern when she saw Lu Nanxing standing beside her with a relaxed look on his face.

Although Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun did not say anything, their gloomy expressions clearly showed the same meaning.

A few days ago, they met Lu Nanxing in Huangshan. They originally thought that Ren Woxing was imprisoned in Huangshan, but after following Lu Nanxing for a walk in the mountains, they found that he was just enjoying the scenery.

Now that I have arrived in Hangzhou, I head straight to the West Lake.

Dongfang Bubai has returned and is currently reorganizing the church's affairs. The three of them are important figures in the church, and there are so many eyes watching them that they don't know how much time they have to spend with Lu Nanxing traveling.

"Who said I was looking at the view?"

Lu Nanxing smiled and pointed to the center of the lake.

"Ren Woxing was imprisoned there."

"That?"

Ren Yingying and the other two were all stunned, then looked at Lu Nanxing coldly.

As the former leader, Ren Woxing’s imprisonment place must be extremely strict and unusual, a place that ordinary people would never think of.

But being imprisoned in a lake is too outrageous.

After all, no matter how high Ren Woxing's martial arts skills are, and he can hold his breath for a longer time, he is a human, not a fish, and it is impossible for him to survive underwater.

"follow me."

Lu Nanxing did not argue and continued walking along the lake embankment.

After about half an hour, we arrived at a small hill.

Lu Nanxing was still walking in front, going up the stone steps on the side of the mountain. Although Ren Yingying and the other two had doubts in their hearts, they still followed behind.

After going around a few turns in the mountain, it seemed that Lu Nanxing was not familiar with the path. It was not until he saw a group of plum trees in the distance that a look of joy appeared on his face and he walked over quickly.

Then we passed through Merlin and finally came to a large manor with red doors and white walls.

"arrive."

Lu Nanxing stopped, stood next to Merlin, looked at the manor in front, and spoke.

"That's it."

"Plum Manor?"

You can vaguely see two large characters written outside the gate of the manor, which contrasts well with the surrounding plum trees.

Ren Yingying looked at Lu Nanxing again and asked with a frown.

"You said my father was imprisoned in Plum Manor?"

"Exactly."

"Do I look stupid?"

Ren Yingying snorted coldly, her face gloomy.

"This manor is obviously the home of a wealthy man in Hangzhou. It is so eye-catching, how could it be a place to imprison people? If my father was imprisoned there, how could there be no news leaking out in the past twelve years!"

"Do you know Huang Zhonggong, Hei Baizi, Tu Biweng, and Dan Qingsheng?"

"I don't know!"

"They are all members of our religion."

The person next to him spoke up and continued.

"However, the four of them left Blackwood Cliff more than ten years ago and have not been heard from since. Yingying, you were still young at that time, so you naturally didn't know them."

"Xiang Youshi is indeed an elder of the Sun Moon Sect."

Lu Nanxing smiled, then suddenly looked serious.

"The owners of this Plum Manor are these four."

"Why are they here..."

Xiang Wentian frowned, as if thinking about something.

Huang Zhonggong and his three companions were actually quite skilled in martial arts and could be considered talented. It was indeed somewhat strange that they suddenly left Heimu Cliff that year.

In fact, Xiang Wentian had also been investigating Ren Woxing's life and death, and had already found out some things before Ren Yingying told him the news.

One of the important pieces of information is the four people named Huang Zhonggong.

The time they left Heimu Cliff was almost the same as the time Ren Woxing disappeared, so there was no guarantee that there was any connection between them.

"Could it be!"

Thinking of this, Xiang Wentian's face changed instantly.

Ren Yingying and Shangguan Yun were both outstanding people and understood it immediately.

Could it be that these four people are responsible for guarding Ren Woxing!
If the four of them are really the owners of this Plum Manor, then it is very likely that Ren Woxing is imprisoned there.

"Why worry about it! Let's just go in!"

Shangguan Yun shouted coldly with contempt on his face.

He had also heard of Huang Zhonggong and the other three. Although they were all first-rate masters, there was still some gap between him and them.

Go straight into Meizhuang and capture Huang Zhonggong and others, and you will know the truth once you ask them!
"Not bad!"

Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying nodded and agreed.

Lu Nanxing smiled and had no objection.

Although it is crude, it is indeed the simplest and most direct method.

Immediately afterwards, the four men stepped forward and tried to force their way into Mei Zhuang.

But just after taking two steps, the door of Meizhuang suddenly opened.

Four people walked out, three men and one woman. The men were in their fifties or sixties, and the woman was middle-aged. All four of them were wearing black clothes with yellow belts around their waists.

"It's them!"

When they saw these four people, Ren Yingying and the others all changed their expressions and quickly hid back in Merlin.

They were far apart and the light was dim at sunset, so the other party did not notice them.

"Elder..."

Black clothes and yellow belt, this is the attire of the ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect.

Lu Nanxing frowned, wondering why the elder of the Sun Moon Sect suddenly came to Meizhuang.

"You have some knowledge."

Xiang Wentian hid behind an old plum tree and said to the four people.

"Bao Dachu, Qin Weibang, Wang Cheng, and Sang Sanniang are the four elders promoted by Dongfang Bubai."

"They are not at Blackwood Cliff, why are they suddenly coming to Plum Manor?"

"Could it be..."

Ren Yingying and Shangguan Yun were also confused, and then their faces changed again.

Bao Dachu and his three companions looked around after going out, and then waved inside.

Then, two men dressed as servants came out, escorting a man with his head covered by a gray robe, barefoot and wearing heavy shackles.

Then four more people came out, and Xiang Wentian recognized them as the four people led by Huang Zhonggong whom he had not seen for more than ten years.

"what happened!"

Watching these people escorting the gray-robed man away, Ren Yingying and the other two looked at Lu Nanxing with gloomy expressions.

"how could I know!"

Lu Nanxing was also confused and said with a frown.

"If I'm not mistaken, the man in shackles should be Ren Woxing. Could it be that we leaked the news and the Demon Cult wants to transfer him?"

"No matter if the news leaks out or something else, we will just stop them! Besides, this is the Holy Religion, not the Demonic Religion!"

"That's right! Fortunately, we arrived in time. If Master Ren had been moved away by them, it would have been extremely difficult to find him again."

After some discussion, the four of them reached the same opinion and followed immediately.

In order to conceal their tracks and also to make their journey easier, the group from Meizhuang pulled a carriage and stuffed the man in gray robes inside.

The gray-robed man moved stiffly and slowly whether he was walking or getting in a car. In addition to the shackles, he must have been restrained by other means, such as sealing his acupoints.

Soon after, two elders also got into the carriage and were responsible for keeping watch, while another servant drove the car.

Others rode horses, following the carriage in front and behind as guards.

Lu Nanxing and his companions' horses were still tied up far away, so it was too late for them to go back and get them, so they simply used their lightness skills to catch up.

Fortunately, all four of them are first-rate masters and are as good as horses in short-distance situations.

They kept running like this for three or four hours, and it was already late at night. They finally stopped at a barren slope to rest.

But judging from their appearance, they had no intention of staying overnight, and should be preparing to travel overnight. "What should we do?"

Behind a slope, Shangguan Yun asked a question while looking at the people from Meizhuang not far away.

Now is a good time to take action!

However, there were too many people on the opposite side, and they were only three.

Shangguan Yun did not trust Lu Nanxing and did not take him into consideration at all.

"There is indeed some trouble."

Xiang Wentian pondered for a while and frowned.

Whether it was the four elders of Bao Dachu or the four friends of Plum Manor, they were all first-rate masters. Even the two servants looked like they were not ordinary people.

If they attack by force, it is not impossible for them to defeat him with their martial arts skills, but they are worried that Bao Dachu and the others will hurt Ren Woxing.

"If there were only four or five people, it would be easy."

Shangguan Yun spoke, his brows furrowed deeply.

Since everyone in Meizhuang is responsible for escorting Ren Woxing, for such an important mission, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave his side for even a step.

And judging from their posture, they also want to reach the destination in the shortest time possible.

"I'll go and distract a few of them."

When the three of them were at a loss, Lu Nanxing suddenly spoke.

"you?"

The three of them were all surprised and looked at Lu Nanxing with suspicion. What could he do?
In this situation, who would be stupid enough to fall for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain?

Lu Nanxing smiled, but looked confident.

On the barren slope, Bao Dachu glanced at the carriage with a gloomy expression.

The righteous attacked Black Wood Cliff, and the Sun Moon Sect suffered heavy losses, but it was also because of this that Dongfang Bubai returned and vigorously rectified the affairs of the sect.

Not only did he call them back to Black Wood Cliff, he also gave the four of them an important task: to escort Ren Woxing!
"Old Bao, tell me, why did the leader suddenly ask us to take this man back to Blackwood Cliff?"

"Although this man has a bad temper, his martial arts are very strong. I'm afraid that only the leader can defeat him in the whole world."

Bao Dachu thought about it and spoke.

"During the attack on Blackwood Cliff by the righteous, our Holy Church lost many good fighters. It is time to use more people. The leader has a broad mind and may want to re-employ this person."

"Enable this person?"

Qin Weibang curled his lips and disagreed.

"Even if we kill him, I'm afraid he won't be of any use to the leader."

"Others can't do anything to him, and how can the leader be a mortal?"

Bao Dachu snorted coldly and sneered again.

"Besides, there are many ways to control a person, such as the Three Corpses Brain Pill. If you give him this medicine, he will obey you."

"Too."

Qin Weibang responded but didn't say anything else.

What Dongfang Bubai's intention was had nothing to do with them. All they had to do was get the person to Heimu Cliff safely.

After resting for a while, it’s time to get up and continue on our journey.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness in the east.

It looked like a man, staggering as if injured, running towards this side.

There are many grudges in the martial arts world. Perhaps he was beaten by his enemies, and when he saw the light of the campfire, he came to seek help.

Several people now have important responsibilities and dare not be negligent in the slightest.

Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that I met them?

For a moment, both the four elders of Bao Dachu and the four friends of Meizhuang put their hands on their weapons and were secretly alert.

"Help."

In just a moment, the man ran over.

A young man of about 18 or 19 years old had an Emei thorn pierced into his left chest, several inches deep! If it had been a little further to the side, it would have pierced his heart.

The man covered his wound, but blood still gushed out. Maybe he had internal injuries, or maybe he had lost too much blood. His handsome face turned pale.

"There are demons from the Demon Cult chasing me. I beg you brothers to help me."

After taking two more steps, the man asked for help.

Seeing him approaching, they all became alert and clenched their weapons.

When he heard him talk about the Demonic Cult, his brows frowned again.

Could it be that this person is a disciple of the righteous path?

Yes, in this world, most people are self-proclaimed righteous.

"I recognized him! He is Lu Nanxing!"

At this moment, Sang Sanniang suddenly shouted.

"Lu Nanxing!"

Bao Dachu and the others were also startled. After taking a closer look, their eyes widened instantly.

That’s right, isn’t it the Lu Nanxing who attacked Black Wood Cliff and fought with the leader!
Although they were not on the cliff at the time, they all saw the portrait afterwards. Even though it was an easy deal for them to have someone who could fight with Dongfang Bubai, they were very concerned and the description was deeply imprinted in their minds.

The four of them looked at each other and there was no doubt that he was Lu Nanxing.

"You guys... Sorry to bother you."

Lu Nanxing looked at the four people, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he turned and left.

Although he was seriously injured, he walked very hurriedly.

"We can't let him escape!"

He is a great enemy of the Holy Church. His value is on par with Fangzheng and Chongxu, and even higher than that of the leaders such as Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun.

Suddenly, Wang Cheng and Sang Sanniang were about to get up and chase after him.

"and many more!"

But the next moment, Bao Dachu and Qin Weibang stopped them.

"Be careful to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Even if it's a trick, who would use their own life as bait?"

"That Emei thorn almost pierced him through!"

"That being said, we have an important mission to fulfill. How can we leave?"

Qin Weibang was somewhat tempted, but Bao Dachu was still hesitant.

"madness!"

Wang Cheng shouted, his face full of anxiety.

"We escorted that man to Blackwood Cliff, which is not a great achievement. The leader can only say a few words of consolation at most. But if we catch this man or kill him, it will be a great achievement!"

"That's right! With such a great achievement, it's not too much to be promoted to the Light Messenger!"

"If you two are considerate of yourself, you should keep a close eye on that person here!"

Seeing that Lu Nanxing was about to go far away, if he delayed any longer, he might not be found in the dark night.

Wang Cheng and Sang Sanniang said nothing more and immediately let go and chased after him.

"Brother Bao?"

Seeing the two men chasing after him, Qin Weibang looked at Bao Dachu.

"Such a great achievement is just going to be handed over to the two of them?"

"This……"

"If you don't go, I can't wait any longer!"

"That's fine!"

Bao Dachu frowned for a long time, unable to resist such temptation.

This is like a fisherman who, faced with a reservoir full of big blue carps, cannot resist casting his hook.

He told the four friends of Meizhuang to keep a good eye on the man, and Bao Dachu and Qin Weibang immediately chased after him.

"He really left..."

In the darkness, Xiang Wentian and the other two were surprised to see the four elders chasing Lu Nanxing away one after another.

Bao Dachu and his gang are also veterans of this world, but they actually fell for such a simple trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"Let's go!"

However, this is not important. After the four people walked away, the three of them looked stern and rushed over immediately.
