Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 43 Sign on

It was noisy at the foot of the mountain, but it became much quieter once you got to the top of the mountain.

It is probably related to the terrain of Mount Hua itself and the current season.

Not all people in the martial arts world have extraordinary lightness skills.

If you don't have good Qinggong skills, climbing Mount Huashan at this time is simply seeking death.

However, if he did meet someone, they would definitely be masters, not those small fry at the foot of the mountain who could kill four people with one sword.

At this moment, right in front of Qiu and Jin's sight, a man wearing a straw hat and a raincoat was standing there with a gun, blocking the way ahead. The cold wind rushed down along the mountain path, but was diverted by the man's tall figure.

The mountain path was narrow, and one person blocked the entire path, so if you wanted to pass, you had to avoid him.

Looking around, there was little where he could leverage his strength. Qiu Chuji was able to force his way up the mountain with his superb skills, but Jin Yanzi did not have that ability.

Although Qiu Chuji knew some of the later events because of the time traveler, he did not have a very complete concept of what kind of powerful figures there were in the world today.

Most of the experiences that Lin Chaoying imparted were some practical skills and precautions for navigating the underworld, but she didn't teach much about the general knowledge of underworld figures.

This was probably because although she had traveled a long way, she had not spent a long time in the Central Plains martial arts world.

"Who is this person?" Qiu Chuji turned and asked Jin Yanzi.

Jin Yanzi carefully identified him and then said, "Looking at his attire, he looks a bit like Li Tieping, the gun king who dominated Xijing Road."

"Be careful. If it's him, beware of his sudden change of tricky gun."

"No one has ever seen him use his tricks with the gun, but those who died from his gun not only died with their eyes open, but also had very strange wounds on their bodies, which didn't seem like they were stabbed head-on."

Qiu Chuji turned his head in surprise when he heard this: "Aren't you going to deal with it yourself first? You just throw it to me?"

Jin Yanzi smiled and said, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"

"Have we discussed it?"

"Who will come first to die?" Li Tieping asked in a cold voice.

Jin Yanzi asked, "Are you also a member of the Dog Army?"

"I didn't expect that the famous chivalrous man in Xijing Road is actually a lackey in the dog army."

The reason why Jin Yanzi said this was because normal people in the martial arts world would ask about the "Nine Yin Scriptures" first when they met them, instead of letting them die directly.

"Killing one person and saving ten thousand people is a righteous act for me!" Li Tieping's answer was sonorous and powerful.

Jin Yanzi's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She then turned to Qiu Chuji and said, "If you are sure, don't kill him..."

She actually trusted Qiu Chuji very much.

"I'll try my best!" Qiu Chuji did not give a clear answer.

It doesn't matter what the reason is for being stuck here.

Since he is an enemy, there is no need to think too much.

The long sword had already been unsheathed, but the iron spear had been drawn one step ahead, and it was like a poisonous dragon, striking directly at Qiu Chuji's throat.

Such a powerful and heavy stab of a spear seemed unavoidable in this situation.

However, if a sword were to collide with a spear, it would be a head-on collision and the weapon would not be at an advantage.

Although Qiu Chuji was the last to attack, he took two steps forward. His body was like green smoke, and he quickly moved upwards on the slippery rocks on the right. The tip of his sword pressed against the body of the gun, producing dazzling sparks.

clang!
Li Tieping raised his spear, and Qiu Chuji's sword slid down along with it. He bent his body like a ball and rushed forward fiercely.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, and clouds crossed the Qinling Mountains.

Li Tieping immediately loosened his weak hand holding the spear in front, and swung his heavy hand behind him, swinging the spear head with great force. With a strong internal force attached to the spear, the heavy spear head hit the rock, breaking a large rock.

Qiu Chuji, who had already leaped into the air, stepped on the tip of the spear with one foot and slashed with the sword in his hand.

Li Tieping triggered the mechanism, and the spear head popped out from the tail of the spear. A part of the originally hard iron spear became soft, and the tip of the spear at the tail bent and stabbed towards Qiu Chuji's abdomen under its push.

"fall!"

Qiu Chuji swung out his sword, and the sword energy swept across.

One of Li Tieping's hands fell, and the bent spear lost control and rolled down the cliff.

"I cut it very neatly. If you preserve the severed hand well and meet a miracle doctor, you can reattach it!"

"It all depends on luck whether my martial arts skills can be retained." After Qiu Chuji said this, he grabbed Jin Yanzi and floated upwards, passing by Li Tieping who was holding the severed hand and using his martial arts to stop the bleeding.

"Be careful, the higher you go, the tougher the people you meet will be."

"Since you have both the person and the true scripture, why don't you just escape?" Li Tieping really talked too much nonsense.

Neither Qiu Chuji nor Jin Yanzi answered him.

Continuing on his way up, Qiu Chuji encountered four more groups of opponents.

According to Jin Yanzi's introduction, these people are all famous masters in the North. Some of them are simple wanderers, some are from wealthy families in the North, and some are running dogs of the Jin people.

Without exception, these people all fell under Qiu Chuji's sword, and no one could even survive five rounds.

"Spear King Li Tieping, Twin Blades Mountain-Breaking King Yuanzhong, Spirit Dragon Whip Horse Daoling, Ghost Face Immortal He Chu... These are all top-notch masters in the martial arts world, but they are not your match."

"Master Xiaoqiu! How did you practice your martial arts?" Everything went smoothly along the way, and Jin Yanzi's mood gradually became cheerful.

Qiu Chuji didn't feel anything.

He didn't know how famous these people were, nor did he think they were that powerful, so naturally, defeating them wasn't a big deal.

Although there were some delays along the way, we finally reached the top of Jade Maiden Peak before sunset.

The top of the mountain is not bare. In addition to some ancient pines, there is actually a small Taoist temple standing on the top of the mountain. Although it is exposed to wind and snow, it has not been completely abandoned.

After walking in, I found that what was enshrined in the temple was not the Great Emperor Xiyue, but a torn painting that had been corroded by insects and the details were difficult to discern. I could vaguely see an old man preaching in the mountains with several disciples sitting below him, some of them sitting cross-legged and listening attentively, some leaning against the rocks and taking a nap, and some hanging on the trees and playing.

On the table below the painting, there is a fortune stick tube, but like the table top, it is covered with a layer of dust.

"This is Baiyun Temple. I heard it was very effective and the Taoist priests in the temple were great at interpreting divination sticks. They would occasionally come down the mountain to help people perform rituals. I didn't expect it to be deserted." Jin Yanzi said as she walked forward, picked up the divination stick box on the table, knelt in front of the portrait, and began to shake it.

pat!

A black fortune stick fell out.

There is a word on the fortune stick, saying: No matter how many plans you make, it is hard to achieve anything, and you have traveled thousands of miles in vain. Why not calm down and be patient, otherwise you will be worried and frightened.

Jin Yanzi's expression was solemn, with her heroic brows furrowed.

Qiu Chuji came forward, stuffed the lot back into the lot holder, and then picked out a red-headed, top-notch lot for himself.

The message on the fortune stick is: The dormant dragon has been born, its horns and heads have been formed, clouds are rising and rain is falling, saving the people.

"Here! An excellent lot. I will change your destiny!" Qiu Chuji handed the lot in his hand to Jin Yanzi.

Jin Yanzi forced a smile and turned around.

At the entrance of the small Taoist temple, a tall figure was blocking the door.
