Chapter 107: Swords from Huashan
"Senior brother."
Yue Buqun came back to his senses and looked at his junior sister Ning Zhongze in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.
His mind is now filled with questions like why Ou Zanghua never invited him?
That day, Taoist Priest Tianmen went there three times, and then took thirty people from the Taishan Sect directly to Hengshan and disappeared.
I have talked to Master Ding Xian of the Hengshan School twice, and it seems that she has no plans to leave at the moment.
Yue Lingshan didn't get any information from Liu Qing.
So what is Ou Zanghua up to?
Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun who was in a daze again, and had to remind him: "Brother, we have packed our luggage, and we can set off when Lingshan comes back."
"okay"
Yue Buqun nodded. Mo Da returned to the pavilion halfway up Hengshan Mountain, but couldn't find anyone, so he said goodbye to Liu Zhengfeng yesterday.
It would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't leave today.
At this time, Xiang Danian walked in. After seeing Yue Buqun, he bowed and said, "Uncle Yue, it's a good thing you haven't left yet. My brother has always wanted to talk to you, but he was too busy these days to do so."
After hearing this, Yue Buqun finally felt relieved.
The inner demon that had troubled him for many days was about to be resolved.
He stroked his beard and said calmly, "It's okay. It's normal for Junior Brother Ou to be busy since he is in a high position."
Xiang Danian immediately invited him, "I'm glad that Master Yue can understand. I have prepared some good tea. Please have a taste."
"Okay, Junior Sister, let everyone wait for a moment, I'm going to go out for a while." Yue Buqun said something to Ning Zhongze, then left the inn with a relaxed pace.
Ou Zanghua was making tea in Wu Garden. He had arrangements for the other four sects, but Huashan made him feel very embarrassed.
Because Huashan was so martial arts-themed, he felt like he had no idea where to start.
Perhaps there is no need to change. The absence of the Four Yues will not have much impact on the martial arts world.
But without Huashan, there would be fewer stories.
Moreover, Yue Buqun is not like others. Although Huashan has pressure from Songshan, it will not develop to this point.
There are only about twenty people in the entire sect, and only four of them can be considered as combat-capable. One of them is a traitor, and the traitor is the least troublesome and most capable of all the disciples.
It was outrageous that Lu Dayou only let Linghu Chong teach him a move called Huashan Sword Technique, You Feng Lai Yi, after he had been apprenticed for five years.
Could it be that by practicing that one move one can directly become one of the top ten masters of the righteous path?
It's obviously impossible!
There is also his attitude towards Linghu Chong. Although Linghu Chong is not a worry-free disciple, he is lazy and fond of drinking, and he has his own logic in doing things.
But in the battle of the ruined temple, Linghu Chong did save the Huashan Sect, but Yue Buqun's reaction was weird, as if he had been overshadowed.
This is a bit unreasonable.
So Ou Zanghua thought about it and came to the conclusion that Teacher Yue might be a little narrow-minded.
Not long after, Yue Buqun arrived.
To be honest, it’s no wonder that Teacher Yue is one of the few people in the Five Mountains Sword Sect who has a wife. His appearance and temperament are far superior to Zuo Lengchan.
After Teacher Yue sat down, Ou Zanghua poured him a cup of tea and said apologetically, "Uncle Yue, I'm sorry for disturbing your trip to Huashan by asking you to come here."
“Junior Brother Ou, you are too polite. I stayed in Hengshan County for many days in Huashan, and it was Junior Brother Liu who took care of me. I should be the one to say thank you.” Yue Buqun smiled and said gently.
"This is what we should do. After all, Master Yue is a guest from afar." Ou Zanghua looked up at Yue Buqun and said seriously, "I asked Master Yue to come here. I just want to tell him one thing: no one will affect the development of Huashan in the future. Please restore the reputation of Huashan as soon as possible."
A hint of joy flashed across Yue Buqun's eyes, but then he felt something was wrong.
Does what Junior Brother Ou mean by this is that he won't take Huashan to play anymore?
How can this work?
The Five Mountains Sword Sects have always been like-minded, sharing honor and disgrace, standing together through thick and thin, and being loyal to each other!
“Hey, Junior Brother Ou, I don’t quite understand what you are saying.” Yue Buqun said pretending to be calm.
"It means exactly what it says. In the future, in the martial arts world, Huashan may need to contribute more."
Ou Zanghua continued, "The exquisiteness and variety of Huashan swordsmanship far surpass those of the other four mountains. I have heard the saying 'fists come from Shaolin, and swords come from Huashan' since I was a child. Now is a good time for Huashan to develop, and we must not miss it!"
"It's a blessing for the Five Mountains Sword Sect that Junior Brother Ou is so considerate of Huashan." Yue Buqun's mind was working quickly, and he said slowly: "If Junior Brother Liu is interested in leading the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Huashan will definitely fully support it." "Haha, Uncle Yue, don't make such a joke. I guess my father-in-law doesn't even want to take care of the affairs of the Hengshan Sect now." Ou Zanghua smiled and waved his hand. Old Liu has been living a comfortable life these days. He spends every day with Qu Yang to discuss music. Not only does he take out all the music scores that Ou Zanghua has collected and share them with Qu Yang.
Even the "Marriage Music Score Record" written by Ou Zanghua was taken away by him immediately, so Liu Qing had to write another copy by herself. This also directly led to the couple having to write by candlelight last night, which was really infuriating and funny.
The intimacy was so intense that even Mrs. Ouyang sometimes felt that she was redundant.
Yue Buqun sighed inwardly, Liu Zhengfeng is so lucky!
With Ou Zanghua as his son-in-law and apprentice, he doesn't have to worry about anything, and the title of "benevolent hero" known throughout the world has come to him.
Now he just needs to enjoy his life. As long as he doesn't go out to commit fraud, both the black and white worlds will have to thank him for it.
"Does the Five Mountains Alliance still count?"
Hearing Yue Buqun's question, Ou Zanghua nodded and said, "Of course! The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same origin. This is the experience accumulated by the ancestors of each sect over the years, and we, the younger generation, should abide by it."
Seeing that Ou Zanghua was speaking so seriously, Yue Buqun began to doubt his previous judgment.
At this moment, Xiang Danian walked in and reported, "Brother, Uncle Zuo is here."
"Please come in!" Ou Zanghua said with a smile after hearing this.
Soon, Zuo Lengchan was brought in by Xiang Danian. Yue Buqun looked back and found that Zuo Lengchan's face was not as gloomy as before.
"Junior Brother Ou? So Mr. Yue is here too!" Zuo Lengchan smiled and bowed when he saw Yue Buqun.
“Alliance Leader Zuo.” Yue Buqun cupped his hands in response.
"Uncle Zuo, have you figured it out?" Ou Zanghua poured a cup of tea for Zuo Lengchan and asked curiously.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Ou, for your guidance. I have indeed figured out a lot of things." Zuo Lengchan smiled, and he became much more free and easy.
"That's good. I have some things to discuss with Master Zuo. Please stay for two more days."
"Then I'll bother you for a few more days." Zuo Lengchan agreed immediately. He also wanted to chat more with Ou Zanghua.
This actually made Yue Buqun feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't know when Zuo Lengchan and Ou Zanghua became so close.
The two chatted for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
After Ou Zanghua sent the two out, he turned and walked into the backyard. He saw Liu Qing sitting in the waterside pavilion, teaching Yue Lingshan how to recognize music scores. The "Marriage Music Score Record" that he had processed yesterday had not yet been bound and was placed in a basket beside him.
At this moment, a strong wind blew, blowing the music scores in the basket into the air. Even though there was a curtain on the pavilion, several sheets were still blown out.
Ou Zanghua was quick-witted and quick-handed. He immediately used his lightness skills to fly up and took down the pages of music scores.
Liu Qing suddenly shouted, "Husband, one of them is about to fall into the water."
Ou Zanghua took advantage of the corner of the pavilion and flew sideways across the pond. He picked up the music score with one hand just after it fell into the water, then flipped over and successfully landed on the other side of the pool.
"Brother Ou!"
Yue Lingshan's eyes widened. It was the first time she saw Ou Zanghua take action. She didn't expect that his martial arts skills would be so graceful.
"Junior Sister Yue." Ou Zanghua walked into the pavilion with the music score and bowed to Yue Lingshan.
After the conversation, he sorted out the music scores, pressed them down with a paperweight, looked at Liu Qing and said with a smile: "It's almost there, we have to make a new one."
"Yes, my husband is indeed very agile!" Liu Qing nodded and praised with a smile.
Then she asked, "I asked Zhixue Hanyun to copy two copies this morning. We'll keep the one from last night. For the remaining two, one will be given to Senior Sister Yue and one will be kept at Liu's house. Next time, whoever needs it can just copy it. What do you think, husband?"
Ou Zanghua saw that there was some dust on Liu Qing's head, which should have been stuck on the curtain when she stuck her head out just now. After helping her wipe it off, he casually said, "Qingqing, just follow the arrangements."
Liu Qing blinked at Yue Lingshan, her eyes seemed to say, "I told you my husband would agree, right?"
Yue Lingshan smiled, but she felt inexplicably lost in her heart. She recalled that her senior brother also had a preference in the past, but after coming out this time, he seemed to have changed a little.
She was a little confused. Was it herself who had changed, or was it Linghu Chong who had changed?
