Sword from Songshan

Chapter 94: Xingxiu Sect’s Treasure

"Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang?"

After listening to Lu Nanxing's explanation of his purpose, Wei Qingliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"This is it."

"here?"

Lu Nanxing couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this Weijiazhuang?

Seeing Lu Nanxing's confusion, Wei Qingliu explained with a smile.

"One hundred years ago, this was the Wu Family Village in the Zhuwu Chain Village. Later, the only daughter of the Wu family married the ancestor of our Wei family, and then it was renamed Wei Family Village."

"So that's it."

Lu Nanxing nodded, now he understood everything.

In order to deceive Zhang Wuji, Zhu Changling burned Zhujiazhuang to the ground, but Wujiazhuang was not damaged.

Zhu Changling and Zhang Wuji fell off a cliff together and were later stuck in a crevice. His only daughter Zhu Jiuzhen was also killed by Yin Li with the Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands. The Zhu family has since been extinct.

After suffering some hardships, the Wu father and daughter survived. Although it is not explained later in the text, we can imagine that after Zhu Jiuzhen's death, Wu Qingying had no competitors and should have married her senior brother Wei Bi as she wished.

Wei Bi should be the ancestor of Wei Qingliu. He married Wu Qingying, the only daughter of the Wu family. After Wu Lie's death, he took over Wujiazhuang and renamed it Weijiazhuang. This is what people often say as eating up the entire family.

In other words, the place where the Nine Yang Manual is stored is not far from here.

It was really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally found it without any effort. Lu Nanxing couldn't help but feel happy.

"If it were normal, I would definitely let you stay at the farm for a while longer, but unfortunately, a group of bad guys came to make trouble recently."

Wei Qingliu sighed and continued.

"Brother, stay at the farm for one night and leave early tomorrow morning to avoid getting into trouble."

"Bad guys are here?"

Thinking back to what I had eavesdropped on before when the disciples of Weijiazhuang were talking, it seemed that these people who entered the mountain were here to steal the treasures of Weijiazhuang.

What exactly is this treasure?
Since Weijiazhuang is Wujiazhuang, it is not far from where Zhang Wuji buried the scriptures. Could it be that the Nine Yang Manual was really dug out by the Wei family?

No.

Lu Nanxing thought that he had to figure it out before moving on, so as to avoid going around in circles and wasting time.

Then he turned to Wei Qingliu, his face full of excitement.

"What are you talking about, benefactor?"

"Benefactor?"

This title caught Wei Qingliu off guard, and he quickly waved his hand.

"That day I just let you hide in the sedan chair. I don't deserve the title of benefactor."

"Your Excellency is wrong!"

Lu Nanxing asked suddenly in a serious tone.

"Why do you think I'm looking for Zhuwu Lianhuan Manor?"

"This……"

Wei Qingliu was stunned. Yes, what’s the point of looking for a Zhuangzi who lived a hundred years ago.

"Could it be that he is looking for someone from Zhu Wu Lian Huan Manor?"

"My benefactor is indeed smart!"

Lu Nanxing nodded repeatedly and continued his narration in a serious manner.

"A hundred years ago, my ancestor was chased by villains and mistakenly entered the snowy mountains. He was lost and almost froze to death in the heavy snow. Fortunately, he was rescued by Wu Lie, the owner of the Wu Family Manor, and survived. My ancestor vowed to repay the life-saving grace, but he moved to the Central Plains afterwards, and the east-west exchanges did not change, so he never fulfilled his promise. When my ancestor passed away, he was still worried about this and told his descendants to repay the Wu family's kindness. It was passed down from generation to generation until I had the opportunity to go to the Western Regions again."

"Uh……"

After listening to what Lu Nanxing said, Wei Qingliu was completely dumbfounded.

Repaying a favor from a hundred years ago, this is too much!
But if it was fake, how did Lu Nanxing know Wu Lie's name?
You know, as the heir of the Wei family, he had only heard this name when his elders were talking about the past of Weijia Village, and knew that he was Wu Qingying's father.

"I finally found my benefactor, but now the villains are here to provoke me. If I leave out of fear, wouldn't that be a betrayal?"

"This……"

"Don't worry, benefactor! I have also learned some martial arts, so I can help you a little."

"OK then."

Seeing Lu Nanxing's sincere face, what else could Wei Qingliu say?

Although he was still not sure whether what Lu Nanxing said was true or not, there were many enemies this time and Weijiazhuang was weak and indeed needed help.

Since Lu Nanxing was able to fight with the disciples in the village for a while just now, it seems that his martial arts skills are pretty good and he won't be a drag on him.

After making the decision, the two chatted for a while, and Wei Qingliu called the servants to arrange accommodation for Lu Nanxing on the farm.

After several rounds of tossing and turning, when Lu Nanxing lay down, it was already past midnight.

"treasure."

Lying on the bed, Lu Nanxing smiled, didn't think much, turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, Weijiazhuang once again sent out a large number of disciples to investigate the situation in the mountains.

It took two days and he returned in the evening of the third day.

Compared with the previous exploration, there are now more and more people and horses in the snow mountains, and there are many famous players among them.

In response to this, although everyone in Weijiazhuang was solemn, there was not much fear.

It is obvious from talking with the disciples of Weijiazhuang that they do not take these powerful people seriously. Some disciples are quite arrogant and even treat outsiders as if they were chickens and dogs.

In the eyes of these disciples, the father and son of the Wei family are the masters of the manor who are invincible in martial arts, and the young master is also a first-class hero.

Lu Nanxing observed that Wei Qingliu's martial arts skills were only third-rate. Although he was considered top-notch among the third-rate, he was far from being worthy of the title of hero.

As for his father Wei Qingshan, Lu Nanxing met him once. Although he did not see him take action, judging from his aura and footwork, he was only at second-rate level. How could he be invincible in the world?

Weijiazhuang originated from Wujiazhuang. The ancestor of Wujiazhuang, Wu Xiuwen, as the son of Wu Santong and a disciple of Guo Jing, had the opportunity to learn martial arts from three of the Five Great Masters: the Southern Emperor, the Northern Hero, and the Eastern Evil. He was truly blessed!
But Wu Xiuwen in the original novel is not as good as Yang Guo, and even worse than Yelu Qi later on. He did not snatch Guo Fu and did not become the leader of the Beggars' Sect. It can be seen that he has no talent and should not have learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and One Finger of Sun.

In fact, when it comes to the story of Yitian, his descendant Wu Lie's martial arts are also mediocre. Now a hundred years have passed, let alone unique martial arts, there are still superior martial arts passed down.

I think Weijiazhuang is located deep in the snow-capped mountains, just like the bottom of a well, and they don’t know that there are people beyond the sky and beyond the man.

"let's go!"

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Wei Qingshan and his son Wei Qingliu led twenty good fighters from the village out.

Lu Nanxing also followed as a helper.

The group of people held sharp blades in their hands and went to take the treasure!
"The most precious treasure of Xingxiu Sect!"

It was not until this time that Wei Qingliu finally spoke out.

It turns out that the treasure they were talking about actually came from the Xingxiu Sect.

Wei Qingliu was afraid that Lu Nanxing had never heard of the Xingxiu Sect, so he went out of his way to explain to him how powerful the Xingxiu Sect was in the past and how it dominated the Western Regions.

Little did he know that Lu Nanxing knew much more about the Xingxiu Sect than what he had heard from hearsay.

It is said that this treasure is the sect's treasure. Not only is it priceless, but one can also learn the sect's supreme martial arts from it.

Lu Nanxing pondered in his heart, the Xingxiu sect has three treasures, the most important of which is the Divine Wood King Cauldron, which can be used to practice the Hua Gong method!
Could this treasure be the Divine Wood King Cauldron?

In the original novel of Tian Long (The Legend of the Condor Heroes), A Zi used the Divine Wood King Cauldron to attract a poisonous snake in order to save Xiao Feng. In her eagerness to save people, she forgot to take it back when she left. Later she found out it was too late.

At this point, the whereabouts of the Shenmu Wangding is unknown.

After hundreds of years, could it be that it has finally seen the light of day again?
Thinking of this, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

The Shenmu Wangding has a natural fragrance. Burning spices in the cauldron can attract all poisonous insects within a radius of ten miles.

At the beginning, it was A Zi who used the Divine Wood King Cauldron to attract the ice silkworms, and accidentally allowed You Tanzhi to master the Ice Silkworm Poison Palm.

In order to light up the small wooden tripod pattern in his body, Lu Nanxing needs to collect various poisons. Wouldn’t the Divine Wood King Tripod be very useful to him!

If it really is this treasure, then he would have to let Weijiazhuang down and would never let it go.

However, it is still unclear whether it is the Shenmu King Cauldron.

Even the father and son of Weijiazhuang didn't know what this treasure was.

According to Wei Qingliu, someone discovered this treasure by chance and entrusted Longmen Escort Agency to deliver it to Wei Family Manor in Snow Mountain. "Did someone else give it to you?"

I thought it was Weijiazhuang’s own treasure, but it turned out not to be the case.

Lu Nanxing frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

"Is the person who sent the treasure a disciple of Weijiazhuang, or is there some other connection?"

"Who knows? I don't know who gave me the treasure."

"If you don't know who it is, why would you give the treasure to Weijiazhuang?"

"Of course I admire Weijiazhuang."

Wei Qingliu raised his head slightly, with a proud look on his face.

"Xingxiu Sect is originally a sect in the Western Regions, and Weijia Manor is the leader of the Western Regions' martial arts world. Since this treasure has been returned to the Western Regions, it must be kept by Weijia Manor."

"so……"

Looking at the smug Wei Qingliu, Lu Nanxing seemed to see the Lin Pingzhi who was ignorant of the world back then.

This confidence is really blind.

The Wei father and son are simple-minded, but Lu Nanxing is not stupid. This matter seems wrong no matter how you look at it.

If they were sending treasures, why not do it quietly? Instead, why not make a big fanfare and let everyone know about it, thereby attracting people from all over the Western Regions to gather in the snow-capped mountains?

In order to seize the treasure, these powerful people naturally turned their attention to Weijiazhuang.

So it doesn't look like sending treasure, but rather like a deliberate frame-up of Weijiazhuang!

It's a pity that the father and son of the Wei family are so narrow-minded that they don't care at all and are even complacent about it.

Lu Nanxing shook his head secretly, no longer holding high expectations for this so-called treasure.

But fortunately, at least it’s not the Nine Yang Manual.

Now that I'm here, I might as well go and take a look.

At this time, the Wei family father and son led everyone to the entrance of the snow mountain to meet them.

"Everyone wait here!"

At four quarters past noon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the snow mountain, and Wei Qingshan shouted an order.

Everyone stopped, and the disciples stood on both sides of the entrance, while the Wei father and son were waiting in the middle of the entrance.

Lu Nanxing mixed in the crowd, observed his surroundings, and realized that there were no less than a hundred people lying in ambush everywhere!

If we count those who he didn't find or those who were waiting in other places, there would be hundreds of people.

With the martial arts skills of the Wei family father and son, as well as these twenty third-rate disciples, how could they be their match?

"A bunch of scoundrels! Don't know what's good for you!"

Wei Qingliu also noticed some people and snorted with disdain.

Lu Nanxing shook his head secretly, fearing that he didn't even know how he died.

With so many people gathered together and the situation being too complicated, Lu Nanxing couldn't predict how the situation would develop.

It's better to wait and see how things develop, and then act accordingly.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, it was almost noon when a thin middle-aged man appeared on the mountain path holding a one-foot square wooden box.

coming.

That man should be the escort of Longmen Escort Agency, and the wooden box in his hand contained the so-called treasure of Xingxiu Sect.

Judging from its size, it really could be the Shenmu King Ding.

Although it feels strange, as the saying goes, it is a mixture of truth and falsehood, and it is not known whether there is the real Shenmu King Cauldron inside.

After all, if you don't come up with something real, the heroes are not fools, so why would they flock to you?

"May I ask who is the owner of Weijia Manor?"

When they got closer, the Central and South Chinese man shouted at everyone.

"Longmen Escort Agency has brought the goods!"

"Good work."

Wei Qingshan took a step forward, looked around, and said in a deep voice.

"I am Wei Qingshan, the owner of Weijia Manor! Just give me the treasure!"

"Master Wei, please."

The man smiled and handed the wooden box to Wei Qingshan.

Wei Qingshan reached out to take it without any hesitation.

Whoosh~!

With a sound of breaking through the air, a sharp arrow shot straight towards Wei Qingshan's outstretched hand.

Ding~!

Wei Qingshan drew out the long sword from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, he cut off the hidden arrow cleanly and neatly. At the same time, his other hand had already caught the wooden box in his hand.

"Farewell!"

After delivering the items, the middle-aged man turned and left.

Lu Nanxing frowned slightly. He gave the escort items but didn't ask Wei Qingshan to sign a receipt or something. This was not very professional.

"Leave the treasure!"

"The treasure is mine!"

"Whoever steals from me will be killed by me!"

Shouts and cries of killing suddenly rang out everywhere. Seeing the treasure appear, some people could not hold back and rushed out directly.

They were originally running towards Wei Qingshan, but they met each other on the way and started fighting instead.

He hasn't even touched the treasure yet, but he's already risking his life. The world of martial arts is really ridiculous.

"Let's go! Back to the village!"

Taking advantage of the chaotic scene, Wei Qingshan shouted softly and turned away.

Wei Qingliu and other disciples, holding long swords, protected it in the middle and ran quickly towards Weijiazhuang.

Although there are many enemies, as long as they get inside the manor, with the help of high walls, the Wei father and son are confident that they can resist.

Lu Nanxing didn't say anything and remained among the crowd.

While the various groups of people were fighting each other, many people rushed forward.

The disciples guarding the outer area immediately started fighting with them.

Those who couldn't hold back their temper and rushed forward first showed that their brains were not very good, and their martial arts skills were not that high. Although the disciples of Weijiazhuang were only third-rate, they fought back and forth.

But after all, there were too many people. Weijiazhuang only had 20 disciples. As they walked forward, the number of disciples around them became fewer and fewer. They had only walked less than a third of the way, and at this time, only Wei Qingliu and Lu Nanxing were left beside Wei Qingshan.

Wei Qingshan held a sword in one hand and a wooden box in the other, his expression extremely serious.

"Leave your stuff behind!"

With a loud shout, a group of people rushed out again and blocked the way.

They had bald heads and wore monk's robes; they were actually a group of monks.

Lu Nanxing recognized that two of them were the ones he met that night.

The person on the other side obviously recognized him and showed surprise, followed by a sneer.

Although Lu Nanxing was strong, there were more than a dozen of them at this time. Are they still afraid of him alone? After they robbed the treasure, they would kill Lu Nanxing and avenge their fellow disciples for the sword attack that night.

"Vajra Gate!"

Seeing the person coming, Wei Qingshan frowned and clenched the sword in his hand.

"Don't bother with him, just go ahead!"

The leader of the Vajra Sect was a short and skinny monk in his forties. He shouted and rushed forward with his men.
