Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

She was a chivalrous woman, not a constable, so she didn't need confessions or testimonies. She had already figured out most of the details of the case, and she had no patience to waste words on petty thieves like mountain bandits.

Inside Baihe Temple.

The beautiful woman was carefully supported by two Taoist nuns as she walked. Her small hand gently patted her full chest, and her expression still showed some lingering fear.

"What is your name, young lady? Did you encounter bandits?"

The woman's red lips parted slightly, her beauty captivating. "I am Su Su. My family was unfortunately kidnapped by bandits while trying to make a living, sob sob..."

Su Su burst into tears, and the two Taoist nuns immediately comforted her, "Alas, these bandits are truly heartless. We have also suffered such a tragedy, losing all our relatives and all our wealth."

Fortunately, the old immortal in the mountains rescued us and taught us the methods of cultivation.

Soon after, Susu was led into a small house with a tiled roof.

Inside the room, several Taoist nuns sat cross-legged, engrossed in their cultivation, their expressions extremely focused.

These Taoist nuns all looked young and beautiful. After getting to know them, Su Su was surprised to find that they shared a similar fate with her.

As night fell, the Taoist nun suddenly visited Su Su and told her that her servant in blue had abandoned her, leaving Su Su alone in the Taoist temple, helpless and alone.

In this era, women rarely stepped out of their homes. If they were to lose their wealth and servants, they would likely find it difficult to even climb Baihe Mountain, let alone travel elsewhere.

Requesting flowers...0

As Su Su's eyes were filled with tears, the Taoist nuns revealed to her that the old immortal master Xu Gu in the temple had a special fondness for her.

Baihe Temple is a righteous sect in Jianzhou, a fact known to women who know a little about the affairs of the martial world.

Therefore, after encountering difficulties, they subconsciously relaxed their vigilance and had even greater faith in this elderly deity.

Su Su stepped into a quiet room filled with a faint fragrance. An old man in a Taoist robe was sitting with his back to her, meditating with his eyes closed. From behind, the Taoist's white hair was flowing, making him look like an immortal, exuding an otherworldly aura.

When the man turned around, Su Su saw that his hair and beard were all white, but he had a youthful face and did not look old at all. He was probably only forty-five years old.

Master Xugu also gazed at Susu with great interest. This woman was alluring and had an unparalleled beauty. As her eyes darted around, a hint of indescribable longing was faintly revealed.

There were already twenty or thirty bandits chasing the woman to the top of the mountain, but the one in front of them was particularly captivating in appearance and had outstanding qualities, making her a top-notch consumable.

"In the past two years, chaos has frequently occurred in Baihe Mountain. Those bandits are like stubborn weeds, difficult to eradicate. Although I have some skills, I am alone and can only sigh helplessly in the face of such a situation."

"What are your plans, Miss Su?"

As Su Su listened to the words of the old Taoist Xu Gu, tears silently streamed down her face from her captivating eyes, making her appear even more pitiful and charming.

"I am all alone, and my home has been ransacked by thieves. Now I am destitute and helpless, I don't know... I don't know what to do," she sobbed.

Seeing Su Su's pitiful appearance, Master Xu Gu couldn't help but smile slightly. Everything was going very smoothly as expected. This woman didn't even have a distant relative to rely on.

"Alas... It seems that it would be best for you to stay in the temple for the time being, young lady. I will teach you some self-defense techniques. Once you have learned them, you will be able to handle things independently. Then you can look for an opportunity to go down the mountain and make a living."

The old Taoist priest patiently guided Su Su, explaining the profound history of Baihe Temple, and then personally demonstrated a few secret Taoist techniques.

Chapter 105 The Ironclad Sect's Top Expert, Potential Danger

Ordinary young women, already filled with admiration, and having experienced such a great change, might be lured into the path of dual cultivation by Xu Gu's sweet words within a few days.

Today, Xu Gu was pleasantly surprised that Su Su had shown a desire for dependence before him, and at the same time, her strong interest in the Daoist sect was also obvious.

What Xu Gu was most proud of was the intense interest this stunningly beautiful woman showed him.

He even noticed that Su Su unconsciously licked her lips several times and swallowed her saliva repeatedly, clearly attracted to him involuntarily.

These words stirred Xu Gu's heart. He never imagined that this seemingly pure and lovely young lady might actually be a hidden expert in the world of pleasure.

“Miss Su, this humble Taoist possesses a secret technique that can help women maintain their youth, preventing them from aging throughout their lives. It can also cure diseases and ward off evil spirits and disasters…” “490”

As soon as Xu Gu finished speaking, Su Su's eyes lit up with excitement, and she eagerly asked:

"Master, may I attempt to practice this spell?"

The elder gently grasped the hand Su Su offered, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "That is certainly feasible, but this spell requires two people to practice together. With my guidance, I can certainly help you achieve twice the result with half the effort..."

A faint blush rose on Su Su's cheeks, and with a touch of shyness, she said softly:

"I humbly request the gods to grant me guidance."

Just as Xu Gu's fingertips were about to touch Su Su's lower back and he was about to use his technique, a muffled thud was heard.

Inside the quiet room, the door was suddenly kicked open, a shiny black boot stepped across the threshold, and a young girl with a cold expression and a sharp sword in hand slowly entered the room.

Where is the master of dual cultivation techniques?

Li Miaozhen's heavy blow interrupted Xu Gu's good time. His face instantly twisted, losing its former immortal demeanor and becoming ferocious and terrifying.

“Li Miaozhen, you and I are the origin of heaven and earth, and well water and river water do not interfere with each other. You cultivate your supreme path of detachment, and I walk my path of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Why do you have to hold a grudge against me?”

Taoism has a long history and consists of three major sects.

The Heavenly Sect cultivates the Supreme Way of Forgetfulness and regularly sends its holy sons and daughters down the mountain for training, rarely interacting with the outside world.

Believers venerate the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and uphold the philosophy of "great virtue carries all things." Disciples of the Venerable advocate the accumulation of good deeds, but there is also the risk of going astray due to the backlash of karmic obstacles.

People revere Lingbao Tianzun, cultivate the way of the seven emotions and six desires, and are also proficient in swordsmanship. Only by relying on the fortune of the dynasty can they extinguish the karmic fire in their hearts.

"The Heavenly Path you cultivate should pursue detachment from emotions, yet you frequently interfere in the affairs of others. Although you claim it's for good, how will you ever achieve the Great Dao if you continue like this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen also felt deeply troubled.

She and the Holy Son Li Lingsu went down the mountain together for training. Logically speaking, she should not have gotten too involved in irrelevant matters.

However, she was born with a narrow mind, and her excessive sense of justice made it difficult for her to extricate herself from worldly troubles, eventually turning her into a renowned heroine.

"You cultivate sect techniques and advocate accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. However, this good deed seems to have harmed a family and lured a respectable woman into becoming a furnace. You are truly lacking in virtue and have probably become evil cultivators."

Before the old Taoist Xugu could speak, Su Su gracefully walked towards Li Miaozhen, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Couldn't you wait a little while until I've finished absorbing this old Taoist?"

Li Miaozhen looked at Su Su with a hint of doting in her eyes, "You really are naive. This old Taoist priest has already surpassed the Enlightenment Realm. If it weren't for the Spirit-Concealing Pearl I gave you, he would have been able to sense your presence long ago."

"If you let this old thief get too close, you will definitely expose your true colors, and you will probably suffer severe damage and your soul will be scattered."

During their conversation, Su Su took a dazzling golden bead from her lips and then returned it to Li Miaozhen.

At this moment, a strange light shone in Xu Gu's eyes. Although Su Su's appearance remained unchanged, her ghostly aura was already unmistakable.

"The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect dares to tame ghosts and demons; who exactly is the true evil cultivator?"

Li Miaozhen gripped her long sword tightly, the blade poised to strike, clearly unwilling to waste words with the thief.

Xu Gu smiled coldly, his gaze fixed on the doorway, his voice laced with sarcasm, "Feiyan Heroine has always loved to show off, and I know you quite well. Did I really not expect you to be prepared?"

Li Miaozhen sensed a powerful aura surging from behind her and couldn't help but frown slightly. It was clear that the old Taoist Xugu had something to hide and had gone ahead to find help.

"Female Knight Flying Swallow, the disputes in the martial world are inherently difficult to resolve. Out of consideration for my reputation, I will let bygones be bygones regarding the matter of Taoist Master Xugu."

Li Miaozhen recognized the speaker as You Jin of the Ironclad Sect, who ranked below the sect leader You Shi and was the sect's top expert, considered to be at the pinnacle of the fifth-rank martial artist.

The Ironclad Sect is dedicated to the cultivation of external martial arts and is ranked among the nine major sects of Jianzhou. Practitioners of external martial arts have an especially urgent need for medicinal baths and elixirs.

Now, the entanglement of interests between the two is obvious.

Li Miaozhen did not turn around and said firmly:

"Although this matter has been closed, the grievances of the hundreds of innocent lives lost because of this old Taoist priest cannot be easily redressed."

Upon hearing Li Miaozhen's words, the old Taoist Xugu did not appear impatient. "Li Miaozhen, as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, you are quite familiar with our Holy Sons."

"Considering our shared Taoist roots, I, this humble Taoist, will spare your life."

"The actions of those mountain bandits have nothing to do with this old Taoist. You and I are both fellow Taoists pursuing cultivation. Although the lives of mortals are precious, in our eyes, what is the sacrifice of a few lives?"

Besides, they're all living better lives now, so you don't need to interfere anymore. Wouldn't it be better if we all just lived our own lives peacefully?

It is obvious that unless there is absolutely no other choice, Master Zong would not want to fight against the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect. It should be known that no secret can be kept forever. Once the leader of the Heavenly Sect finds out about this matter, there will be a lot of trouble that will follow.

In the eyes of the old Taoist Xugu, cultivators are very different from ordinary people. The value of a mortal's life is immeasurable to them.

"No way."

.0

Li Miaozhen spoke calmly but firmly.

Su Su's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a paper figure that drifted down from the spot.

Now that she is only a ghost, it is already difficult for her to provide some support in secret during battles, but she is powerless to help on the front lines.

Li Miaozhen then focused her mind and cast a spell. With a flick of her wrist, the long sword flew out of her hand, carrying a cold light, and rushed straight towards the old Taoist Xugu.

The whisk in the old Taoist Xugu's hand instantly rose into the air, and the thousands of strands of dust became indestructible, tightly guarding the airspace a foot in front of him.

"Crack!"

Taoist Thunder Control Technique!

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky and flashed above Eugene's head. However, Eugene, a fifth-rank martial artist, had honed his extraordinary five senses since reaching the seventh rank of the Divine Refinement Realm and immediately sensed the potential danger.

Chapter 106 A Tricky Situation, A Decisive Move

Eugene lightly stomped on the ground, his strong body nimbly retreating three feet, and the lightning struck hard within his line of sight.

"Li Miaozhen, the martial arts world of Jianzhou is not to be underestimated!"

Faced with Li Miaozhen's ruthless disregard for the Ironclad Sect's dignity, the hot-tempered Eugene was instantly enraged. A faint red glow appeared on his body, making him resemble a blazing iron block, and he lunged fiercely at Li Miaozhen's back.

Li Miaozhen's longsword and Xu Gu's whisk were locked in fierce combat. Suddenly, a domineering force surged from behind. Even though she was skilled in magic, she found it quite difficult to cope with the attack from two forces of fifth-rank strength.

She gently stroked her right hand, cast a spell, and her figure instantly transformed into a fierce hurricane, rushing to the outside of the quiet room in the blink of an eye.

Clang, clang!

Her flying sword temporarily abandoned its pursuit of the old Taoist Xugu and instead swiftly slashed at Eugene's body.

However, the strength of Eugene's Iron Armor Skill clearly exceeded Li Miaozhen's expectations; his Taoist flying sword was unable to even slash the opponent's skin.

Although she had encountered rough martial artists before, this was the first time in her life she had faced one at the peak of the fifth rank.

Eugene steadied himself and looked at his arm with concern. Several obvious white scars were visible on his rough and twisted arm.

"Haha, it seems that Flying Swallow Heroine's move is not powerful enough, as it failed to break through my internal energy."

Before facing Li Miaozhen, Eugene harbored some concerns, fearing he wouldn't be able to withstand her swift flying swords. Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer feeling that worry.

“Master, since that madwoman shows us no respect, let’s subdue her and teach her a lesson.”

Upon learning that Li Miaozhen could not kill both of them at the same time, Eugene's courage swelled instantly, while Xu Gu revealed a lewd smile.

Which of those mediocre women who depend on the old Taoist can compare to the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect? The Holy Maiden not only possesses profound Taoist cultivation, but if the old Taoist were to cultivate with her, he might even be able to break through to the fourth rank.
