Chapter 80 Master Zuo: Something's fishy about this!
Three days later, I saw Luoyang again.
Along the way, we received a constant stream of news, all of which boiled down to four words: the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual!
The level of chaos is even greater than before.
Some people even pieced together information from various sources and compiled their own Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.
After all, during the battle at Xianxia Ridge, the incomplete version of the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" passed through the hands of several people, and it was quite common for each person to memorize two or three sentences.
The already obscure and difficult-to-understand "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" is even more nonsensical in the rumored version.
I reckon that after a while, you'll hear phrases like "the creation of heaven and man," "the growth of all things," and "the profound truths of life" coming from teahouses and taverns.
The victorious Songshan Sect, on the other hand, experienced a series of twists and turns.
Demons and monsters from all walks of life gathered at the foot of Mount Song, especially the numerous members of the Demonic Sect, who seemed ready to start a war at the slightest provocation.
Although the leader of the Left Alliance appeared fearless, he was actually quite apprehensive.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Shaolin Temple finally sent someone to mediate.
The matter of the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was also made public.
Shaolin Temple left some room for interpretation, not mentioning the relationship between the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and the Sunflower Manual.
However, rumors in the martial arts world change rapidly, and although the old monk spoke with great certainty, few people believed him anymore.
At this critical juncture, news arrived that Lin Zhennan had presented his ancestral sword manual to the martial arts world. The crowd was in an uproar and, without saying a word, turned their horses around and headed straight for Fuzhou.
They gather like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, and scatter like floating clouds passing over hills.
However, before they had traveled three hundred miles, news came that the sword manual had fallen into the hands of the Nine-Bend Sword Bell Town.
It's easy to choose between one bodyguard and a group of bodyguards.
It wasn't until he reached Shengguan Peak and entered Junji Zen Temple that Zhong Zhen's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Zuo Lengchan held up the robe and examined it for a quarter of an hour.
His tiger-like eyes appeared increasingly narrow as his furrowed brow pressed down on them.
At first reading, it didn't flow smoothly.
Upon reading it again, I still find it difficult to understand.
Upon rereading, it seems profound.
After reading it again and again, the leader of the Left Alliance let out a long sigh...
"The sword manual... must be fake!"
Zhong Zhen was shocked. "Senior Brother Zuo, ever since we left Fuzhou, I've sewed the sword manual into the lining of my shirt. There's absolutely no way someone could have switched it!"
"Junior Brother Zhong, don't be anxious. Of course I believe you! Moreover, the person who wrote this sword manual has a profound understanding of swordsmanship."
Zuo Lengchan glanced at the cassock and said, "For example, this phrase, 'fleeting like a phantom,' followed by 'so difficult to seep even a drop of water,' is clearly illogical."
There are many more examples like this.
While a single sentence or two may capture the essence of swordsmanship, when taken together, the language becomes obscure and difficult to read!
Zuo Lengchan grabbed the robe and slammed it onto the desk with a loud crack.
"How hateful! Who on earth has plotted against Mount Song?!"
"But the sword manual found on Yu Canghai's body that night at Xianxia Ridge was indeed..."
"In the chaos of the night, it's not difficult to pull some strings! Perhaps even Yu Canghai doesn't know who's plotting against him!"
"The Lin family?"
"They don't have the guts."
"Could they be Yue Buqun and his disciple? No wonder he took the Lin family's son as his apprentice!"
Zuo Lengchan frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Yue Buqun didn't go through Xianxia Ridge when he entered Fujian, so he couldn't have made it in time."
As for that kid named Li Che, he doesn't have the ability to tamper with Yu Canghai!
Based on my deduction, the Lin family does indeed possess a genuine sword manual. Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills are mediocre, so his words should be true.
The person hiding behind this has likely already switched the sword manual and set up this scheme to deceive the martial arts world!
"Could this be the work of the Demonic Sect?" Ding Mian asked.
Zuo Lengchan stood up and walked to the door, saying in a deep voice, "Not necessarily. At least they are not Dongfang Bubai's people, otherwise why would they have gathered at Mount Song?!"
But this person must have a mortal feud with our Songshan and Qingcheng sects, so we must be on guard!
No one responded in the hall, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Two of the Thirteen Protectors were killed, and dozens of disciples were injured or killed. This was the most devastating loss ever suffered by the Songshan Sect since the last major battle between the righteous and the demonic factions.
"Senior brother, I've thought of someone!"
"Who?"
"Xiang Wentian!" Zhong Zhen stepped forward and said solemnly, "This person appeared in Xianxia Ridge but did not show up at the Lin family's old residence."
After I obtained the sword manual, I was hunted down by them.
Looking back now, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to take my life; it seems... he intentionally let me escape.
As Zhong Zhen spoke, he was startled. Could it be that the robe had saved his life? Did he want him to bring the robe back?!
Its heart is awkward!
That person deserves to die!
"Senior Brother Zuo, I heard that Xiang Wentian is being hunted down by the Demonic Sect. He wants my Songshan Sect to fight against Dongfang Bubai's people!"
Zuo Lengchan's face was cold and stern. His knuckles cracked as he rubbed them together. After a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter, "What a brilliant plan! I have to admire you!"
After a while, he said again, "Since everyone wants the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, then spread the contents of the manual! At the same time, spread the news that the manual was switched by Xiang Wentian and the real manual is in his hands."
Moreover, once mastered, there will be no equal in the world!
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
"etc."
Ding Mian paused in his steps.
Zuo Lengchan walked back to the large chair with his hands behind his back, picked up the cassock on the table again, and thought to himself, "Could it be that my understanding is insufficient, making it difficult for me to see through its mysteries?"
After a short while, Zuo Lengchan sighed softly and said, "Take a portion of the content, add some random sword techniques, and make it indistinguishable from the real thing!"
"Senior brother is brilliant!"
After Ding Mian left, the group of gangsters looked at each other, thinking of how their junior brothers Gao and Deng had died in Fuzhou nearly a month ago, and how their bodies were probably unrecognizable. They felt a pang of sorrow and were filled with indignation.
After a while, Fei Bin, who was on his right, seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, Yue Buqun is in Luoyang now. Should we hold him off to prevent him from ruining Senior Brother Lu's important plans?"
"I almost forgot about this. I immediately sent a message to Junior Brother Lu, telling him not to show his face at Mount Hua for the time being. Right now, Mount Hua only has Ning Zhongze to hold the fort. Let them fight it out themselves!"
"Junior Brother Fei, go to Luoyang immediately and tell them that I have specially invited Sect Leader Yue to Shengguan Peak to discuss important matters concerning the Five Sacred Mountains!"
Zuo Lengchan sneered inwardly. He hadn't wanted to make a move so soon, but Yue gave him the chance. Now he didn't have to act like a villain.
Meanwhile, west of Luoyang.
"Ping'er, now that you've entered Mount Hua, you should know to respect your teachers and uphold the rules of the sect. I don't ask you to stand out from the crowd, but only that you know how to be grateful and righteous."
Forget your status as a young master of the Lin family. You entered the martial arts school late, so you should humbly seek guidance from your senior brothers and sisters. Diligence can make up for shortcomings, and you must put your heart into practicing martial arts.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect is a place where others cannot even get in, so you should cherish this opportunity even more.
""
Lin Zhennan and his wife spoke earnestly to their son, who was about to leave home. Though their words were stern, they were filled with reluctance.
Lin Pingzhi listened quietly, nodding frequently, and soon his eyes welled up with tears.
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, and Lady Wang was also somewhat overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing this.
Lin Pingzhi quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, forcing a smile, "Father, Mother, I've remembered. Don't worry, I will definitely make you proud!"
"Okay, okay~"
Li Che, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
At the same time, I thought that the Lin family had good upbringing. Although Lin Pingzhi was a bit spoiled like a young master, his character was still good.
His fate has changed in this life; I hope he will achieve great things in the future.
"Thump thump—!"
"But was it Senior Brother Yue in person?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Old Yue said softly, "Fei Bin from Songshan!"
Before the horse had even come to a complete stop, the rider had already dismounted. "Senior Brother Yue, Alliance Leader Zuo learned that you were passing through Luoyang and specially sent his junior brother to invite you to Mount Song to discuss important matters concerning the Five Sacred Mountains!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Che became suspicious. Why was the man surnamed Zuo not busy studying the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual"? What kind of trouble was he causing now?
Besides, news of Zhong Zhen's return to the mountain has already spread. Who knows if the Demonic Sect might return again? Should we ask Old Yue for help? Wouldn't it be better to ask Shaolin Temple?
Weird!
With so many people present, it shouldn't be necessary to ask Lao Yue to go over and do something underhanded.
What exactly does the surname "Zuo" mean?!
