Sword from Songshan

Chapter 25 Heading to Hengshan
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

When the first snow fell, a group of people and horses galloped past on the official road. The newly fallen snow was immediately crushed by the horses' hooves and splashed together with mud and water.

Pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged, looking at the mud on their bodies, and wanted to curse at the horses' butts to vent their anger, but when they saw the long sword hanging on the saddle, they chose to shut up.

"Everyone, keep up! Get to the county ahead before dark!"

The leader rode a red-maned horse, was short and fat, with a yellow and swollen face, and looked unattractive, but he was the fourth of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan, the Great Yin-Yang Hand Lehou!
Ten people followed behind him, all of them were disciples of Songshan Sect. Six of them wore yellow-bottomed black-edged uniforms for direct disciples, and the other four were miscellaneous peripheral disciples.

"drive!"

This first snowfall was quite heavy, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk on. No one wanted to wade through the mud at night, but they also wanted to quickly dry their coats that were wet from the snow, so they all raised their whips and urged their horses to sit down.

At the end of the team, a small yellow horse had a saddle with a long sword and a long and wide cloth bag hanging on it. A young man was holding the reins tightly on it. It was Lu Nanxing.

Lu Nanxing had just learned how to ride a horse not long ago, so he rode carefully and luckily he was able to keep up.

While riding the horse at full speed, I looked towards the heavy clouds hanging low in the north, feeling excited and happy inside.

This was his first time going down the mountain after joining the Songshan Sect for half a year.

Half a month ago, the Sun and Moon Sect established a branch altar in Hongtong County, Pingyang Prefecture.

The people of the Sun and Moon Sect act treacherously and commit many murderous acts, and are regarded as a cult by the righteous people in the martial arts world!
In the past sixty or seventy years, the Sun and Moon Sect attacked Huashan twice. The Five Mountains Sword Sects are closely related, and on Huashan, the five sects and the Demon Sect also fought twice.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties during the battle, especially the second time, when almost all the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were killed, and all ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect were trapped and died in the cave.

After that, the two sides continued to fight, and the number of casualties was difficult to count.

New and old grudges continue to pile up, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect are already in a situation of a life-and-death struggle.

The branch altar that the Sun Moon Divine Sect established in Hongtong County is less than two hundred miles away from Hengshan Mountain, and is already close to the heart of Hengshan Sect!
How can I allow others to snore beside my bed, let alone the evil cult that is my mortal enemy!

Therefore, this altar must be eradicated.

As one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect is naturally quite powerful. It has first-rate masters like Sanding in charge of the sect, as well as hundreds of disciples.

A mere branch forum is no problem at all.

But since the Demon Cult dared to establish a branch temple around Mount Heng, how could they not have such considerations?

Fearing that there might be some trick, the Hengshan Sect sent a pigeon message to the Songshan Sect, asking them to join in the action.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood, and the Songshan Sect is the leader of the alliance. So they cannot ignore the request of the Hengshan Sect.

So he immediately sent the fourth guardian Le Hou to lead ten elite disciples to help Hengshan Sect!
And Lu Nanxing is one of these ten elite disciples.

"strangeness……"

Lu Nanxing thought to himself that with his strength, he was indeed an elite disciple.

But in the eyes of others, he had only been a formal disciple for half a year, and no one had paid attention to him during this period. He only knew the basic Songshan swordsmanship and had not even practiced internal energy. I am afraid he is not as good as the average third-generation disciple.

If that's the case, why was he chosen?
After thinking about it for a long time, I could only come up with one explanation.

The Songshan Sect was not really helping the Hengshan Sect, but just for the sake of face, they sent some people over to deal with it.

Lu Nanxing has nothing to do on weekdays, and he is also the second-generation disciple, so it is just right for him to be in the team.

The Songshan Sect is ambitious and has always wanted to annex the other four sects, so it is practical for them to act in this way.

"who cares!"

Lu Nanxing was too lazy to think about it anymore, he actually had other plans in mind!

If we divide the martial arts masters into top, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate.

With Lu Nanxing's current strength, the Blood Clotting Divine Claw and the Greatsword version of Songshan Sword Technique are already at the top of the second-rate level.

But if he wants to be among the best, he still needs to practice internal skills! Although he has joined the Songshan School, he is a nobody and nobody cares about him. At present, it seems that if he wants to learn internal skills, he has to find a way on his own.

As for the method, it is actually simple.

If there is no secret manual, then steal or rob! If no one is willing to teach, then put the sword on the other party's neck!
In this bloody world, what is the point of talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality!
"Hengshan Sect..."

This time on this trip to Hengshan, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but ponder.

When the time comes, find an opportunity to steal the Hengshan School's internal skills secrets!

Stealing the secret book might be dangerous, or you could simply kidnap a little nun at night and force her to reveal the Hengshan School's internal skills.

There was no surveillance in ancient times, and it was in the wilderness, so it should not be difficult to obtain it.

As for what to do if the other party is unwilling to speak, he has a hundred ways to make a delicate little nun speak.

As for what to do if the other party was talking nonsense, he was not stupid. If it was complete nonsense, he would definitely be able to see through it. If it was half true and half false, with the guidance function of the small wooden tripod, he could also guess the correct route for practicing Qigong!

Of course, the prerequisite is that just like practicing external skills, the small wooden tripod can guide the practice of internal skills.

Although he had never tried it, Lu Nanxing was still very confident about it. After all, the small wooden tripod had never let him down.

Although the Five Mountains Sword Sects are famous for their swordsmanship, as a first-class sect, their internal strength is not weak. As one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect's internal strength is not too bad.

As for why he didn't do this in Songshan, there is a saying that a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.

In Hengshan, no matter how recklessly he acted, as long as he was not caught in the act, who could do anything to him when he returned to Songshan afterwards?

But it was different in Songshan. He stayed there all year round. If he committed a crime in the mountain and was exposed one day, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

"Ah."

Thinking about acquiring internal energy, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, everyone was in a hurry to get on the road, and he was left at the end, so no one noticed.

Next, Lu Nanxing hung behind the team, traveling during the day and resting at night, just like when he was on the mountain, like a small transparent person, not attracting any attention.

With horses as their means of transportation, they could travel much faster. Moreover, the Songshan Sect was wealthy and powerful, so they could stay in the inns in the town every night to rest and have wine and meat to fill their stomachs.

Lu Nanxing couldn't help but sigh that compared to the last time he traveled from Shihe Village to Songshan, which was a very tiring journey, this time was like a vacation.

In just a few days, the group entered Shanxi from Henan, and after another two or three days, they successfully arrived at Hengshan!

As one of the Five Sacred Mountains, Hengshan Mountain stretches 600 miles from east to west, with 108 peaks clustered around its main and branch ridges! Its magnificence is not inferior to that of Songshan Mountain.

The location of the Hengshan School is exactly at the Hengshan Jianxing Peak.

If you want to see the Buddha, you must see the nature, and the nature is the Buddha. The name of Jianxing Peak fits the idea of ​​the Hengshan School of Buddhism.

Although we have reached Hengshan Mountain, it stretches for six hundred miles and is still some distance away from the Jianxing Peak.

Le Hou ordered his men to find an inn at the foot of the mountain for temporary accommodation, and waited until the next morning before leading everyone to Jianxing Peak.

It was almost noon when we finally arrived at the foot of the Jianxing Peak.

"Meet Master Music Master."

Although it is not as majestic as the Songshan School, as the base of the Hengshan School, the entrance to the Jianxing Peak is also guarded by two little nuns.

When he saw Le Hou and others, he stepped forward and bowed, then led them up the mountain and began to speak.

"The master is already waiting in the nunnery."
