Jade Raksha said," There are four elders in Kunlun. They are known as 'Pure Jade Qingling' or 'Four Kunlun Sons' in Jianghu. In order of seniority, they are Pu Xu's son Bu Changsheng, Yu Xu's son Li Qingxiao, Qing Xu's son Yu Rui, and Ling Xu's son Qi Jin. There aren't many stories about these four Kunlun Sons in Jianghu. Only Yu Rui is often mentioned by Jianghu people. I heard that he is a national beauty and has the bearing of a celestial being, but he is devoted to the Dao and doesn't care about the mortal world. If you kill Gong Ao, she might be a little grateful to you." In addition, there are four outstanding disciples among the younger generation of Kunlun. The Jianghu people call them the "Four Dusts Sword". They are He Zhenghong, Lu Zhengyao, Shi Youyan, and Zhang Youning. I don't know about the other Kunlun disciples.”
Xu Zhutao had heard of the Four-Dust Sword. Ding Ling had told him about the Four-Dust Sword when they had met in Anlu City. In the past, Ding Ling had told him about the background of any person they wanted to know. Now that Ding Ling, a veteran of the Jianghu, had returned home, he could not help but feel a little sad.
Shangguan Wanqian smiled." Sure, Big Brother. You were so cruel to Ling 'er yesterday, and now you miss me? Aren't you ashamed?!"”
"Ling 'er is a good girl, so I don't think she's surprised." Aunt, what about Shaolin? Are there any powerful figures?”
Jade Raksha said," The Shaolin Sect has a long history. It has always been the top sect in the martial arts world. Compared to the other three sects, the Shaolin Sect naturally has more talented people. It's just that I'm not very interested in those monks and lack understanding. The seniority of the monks in Shaolin Temple was divided into five generations: Ling, Xuan, Du, Kong, and Hui. Twenty years ago, the oldest generation in Shaolin Temple seemed to be the Ling generation. Now, the oldest generation was the Xuan generation. The previous sect master of Shaolin Temple was Master Xuanmiao, and the current sect master was Master Disaster. There were also the elders of Commandment Hall, Master Disaster, Master Tribulation, Master Bitterness, Master Disaster, Master Kong Zhi, and Master Kong Yu.”
Xu Zhutao said," I see. That Ma Huateng is probably a disciple of Shaolin's Kong generation. I wonder why he suddenly disappeared."”
"I know you're not worried about Ma Huateng, but that girl." Why don't you ask the WuTang Sect?"
Xu Zhutao said," Ling-er from the Wudang Sect told me about it. It's something about the Four Green Double Dragon Swordsmen of Wudang. I don't know about the rest."”
Jade Raksha said," Then let me tell you. There are two elders above the Four Greens of Wudang. One is called Daoist Zhi Zhen, and the other is Daoist Zhi Shan. Above these two is the Wudang Sect Leader, Daoist Zhi Cheng." The elders of the four big sects that I told you about rarely walk around Jianghu. We won't easily have any conflict with them. However, they have many disciples. We shouldn't easily provoke them unless we have no choice.”
"I'll be careful, I won't provoke them easily." Xu Zhutao said.”
The three of them sat in the lobby for a while. Xu Zhutao went to the shopkeeper to settle the bill. He was told that Lu Ruohua had already instructed that the three of them were Emei's distinguished guests and that their food and accommodation were all free. It had been some time since Xu Zhutao left the mountain, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation where he could eat and live for free. It was obvious that having a wide network of friends had certain benefits.
After asking for two guest rooms, they went back to their rooms to rest. Xu Zhutao practiced his Internal Strength for a while. He felt that the environment here was quiet, so he went to the backyard to practice his swordsmanship. He practiced until 11:00 pm, when he went to take a bath and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Lu Ruohua brought her three junior sisters to the Singing Pavilion. After breakfast, four Emei disciples brought them up the mountain. Along the way, they saw lush trees and a quiet environment. The three of them were full of praise for the scenery of Emei.
Everyone was highly skilled in martial arts. At noon, a few Emei disciples led them to the foot of a mountain called Bull's Heart Ridge. There were several buildings there. Among them, there was a majestic hall. In front of the hall was a large square. On both sides of the hall, there were tall buildings with red walls and green tiles. They were dazzling. From time to time, two or three Emei disciples would walk through them. Lu Ruohua led the crowd to the hall in the middle. They walked past the square and up dozens of stairs. When they reached the hall, she asked them to wait for a moment. She went to invite Nun Jingye to meet her first. She walked to the right of the hall and soon, she brought a female Daoist in black robes with her. She had delicate features and fair skin. Although she was dressed very plainly, her walking posture was dignified and elegant. She really had skin as cold as ice and was like a virgin! The three of them knew that this was Nun Jingye.
When the female Daoist approached, Mu Zihan called out," Master." At the same time, she called out," Martial Uncle." The three Emei disciples greeted each other and retreated into the main hall.
Nun Jingye put her hands together and bowed to Xu Zhutao and the other two. She said,"This poor nun Jing Ye greets the three benefactors!”
Xu Zhutao cupped his fists at her and said,"I'm Xu Zhutao, and I've brought my friends, two Shangguan girls, to greet you, Nun.”
Nun Jingye sized up Xu Zhutao and said,"I've heard a lot about Almsgiver Xu. Today, I've seen that he's indeed an extraordinary person. The two Shangguan girls are also beautiful and intelligent.”
Xu Zhutao said," Abbess, you flatter me. The three of us wanted to come to Mount Emei to take a look, but we heard from Miss Lu that something had happened on Mount Emei recently. We heard that our fellow martial artists had met with misfortune and were very anxious. After asking, Miss Lu said that the details must be reported to Abbess in person first. We can only tell you if we are allowed. Therefore, the three of us came to visit Abbess. Please forgive us for our recklessness!"”
"Benefactor, you're treating me as an outsider. Please follow me." Ruohua, go boil a pot of good tea!" As he spoke, he walked into the hall. When he reached the middle of the hall, he turned to the right and entered a quiet room. He led the three of them inside.
The quiet room was very elegant. There were tables, high-shelf cabinets, bookcases, clothes racks, tables and chairs, and other furniture. There was a hanging screen on the wall with beautiful landscape paintings. It could be seen that it was usually used to entertain guests. Nun Jingye invited them to sit at the table.
Xu Zhutao sat down and went straight to the point."Abbess, Mount Emei is now heavily guarded. I wonder what happened?”
"Thank you in advance for helping Emei!”Jingye Nun bowed to Yu Luosha before sitting down and said,""Don't be anxious, benefactor. Have the three of you heard of the Demon Sect?”
Xu Zhutao said," I've heard of them, but I don't know much about them. I've just come out of Jianghu. The last time I heard about them, it was Miss Shangguan who saved Miss Xiang from your sect. It seems that people in Jianghu rarely mention them." A few days before the war between the Southern and Northern Green Forest Alliances, I went to Nanyang Prefecture to pay a visit to the Alliance Master of the Northern Green Forest Alliance. I told him about the news of the Devil Cult returning to Jianghu and advised him to stop and make peace with the Southern Green Forest Alliance, but Alliance Master Ma didn't seem to take it seriously.”
"Young Master, you're a chivalrous and righteous man. You're really a rare young hero in Jianghu." Do you know how long the Demon Cult has been missing?”
" I heard that he has disappeared for forty years," Xu Zhutao said." As for how he disappeared, not many people in Jianghu know."”
"That's right, it's been forty years." "More than forty years ago, the Demonic Sect harmed the people and harmed the Jianghu. It was my sect, Shaolin, Wudang, and Kunlun who sent twenty experts to destroy the Demonic Sect. I was not born at that time, but my former master was still in her prime. She once heard her former grandmaster describe the great battle between good and evil. It was so fierce that I'm afraid it hasn't happened in the Jianghu in the past forty years. Imagine that our four sects sent twenty first-class experts and two leaders of each sect." In the end, each sect had less than five survivors. Think about how intense it was. Just now, the battle between the North and South Greenwood Alliance that Young Master mentioned was just a bunch of rabble messing around. Think about it, other than a few leaders, how many first-rate experts could those people have? The reason why the Alliance Master of the Northern Green Forest Alliance did not pay much attention to the news of the reappearance of the Demon Cult, Young Master should also know the reason, right?”
"Nearly ninety first-rate experts…Less than five people from each sect survived. This is truly tragic!" Xu Zhutao said. Alliance Master Ma heard that he was from Shaolin, so he naturally knew about the hatred between the Demonic Sect and the four big sects. Did he not pay attention to the news of the reappearance of the Demonic Sect because he thought that the Green Forest Alliance had no hatred with the Demonic Sect and that the Demonic Sect would not take revenge on them?”
"That's the truth," said Nun Jingye. The disciples of our four sects are aware of the hatred between our sects and the Demonic Sect. However, our four sects strictly restrict our disciples from talking about the Demonic Sect to outsiders. This is also the reason why Ruohua brought you up the mountain and asked us, as elders, to tell you personally.”
At this moment, Lu Ruohua came in with a pot of hot tea. She picked up the cup on the table and poured a cup for everyone. Then, she picked up another cup and poured a cup for herself.
Xu Zhutao saw her actions and remembered his agreement with Zhao Yumei." You can't eat food given by strangers."”
" Miss Xiang, Miss Tao, and Miss Qin appeared in Anlu City last time. I saw them on the street. I wonder if Miss Xiang's injuries have recovered?"”
Lu Ruohua said," Young Master is so concerned about Senior Sister Xiang. Wouldn't it be good if I took you to see her after you finished talking to Master?"”
"That girl's injuries have recovered, but now…" Jingye Nun said.
"Could it be that Miss Xiang's injuries have changed again?" Xu Zhutao asked in surprise.”
Nun Jingye said," The injury hasn't changed. It's all thanks to Miss Shangguan's generous gift of elixirs. However, something else has happened in Emei. I'll tell you about it later."”
"I see." Xu Zhutao said. It was said that the three girls of Emei were ordered by their masters to go down the mountain to investigate the remnants of the Demonic Sect. It was said that someone had sent a letter to the Sect Masters of your sect and Kunlun Sect, mentioning the reappearance of the Demonic Sect in Jianghu. Who was the writer?”
Nun Jingye said," Not only did they give it to our sect leader and Kunlun Sect leader, even the Shaolin Sect leader, Master Duran, received it. Shaolin also sent disciples down the mountain to investigate the traces of the Demonic Sect. However, they did not act together with our sect and Kunlun Sect." Young hero, you didn't meet him, so you didn't know that Shaolin Temple also sent disciples down the mountain. The person who wrote the letter was a chivalrous fellow.”
Xu Zhutao muttered in his heart, Why is the person who wrote the letter so mysterious?”"Did the three girls from Emei find anything when they went down the mountain?"”
"The whereabouts of the Demonic Sect have always been mysterious. We found nothing except for confirming that the remnants of the Demonic Sect had reappeared in the Jianghu." I once heard that Young Master helped the He family find the missing Hua Mountain Jade Maiden in Hua County. Is that true?”
" I dare not claim credit for myself," Xu Zhutao said." The fact that the Jade Maiden of Mount Hua was able to be found was all thanks to the two daughters of the Death Soul Valley and another friend of mine." How did the abbess know about this?”
Jingye looked at Xu Zhutao and smiled mysteriously.""Young Master is too modest. When the White Rainbow Swordsman, He Kangbai, returned home, he announced that he would betroth his beloved daughter to the young master. This matter had already spread throughout the martial world. Young Master, can you tell me more about that matter?”
Xu Zhutao's handsome face turned red as he thought," This He Kangbai is too impatient. I didn't promise him anything and even told him that I had a white head alliance with my cousin. How could he…" He then told him in detail how he went to the He family to investigate the clues in Hua County, how he asked Wang Dingyuan to investigate according to the clues analyzed by Master Zhu, how he went to Weinan with the two dead souls to find an opportunity to save Master Duanmu, and how he said that Master Duanmu was deaf and mute and only Lei Qin's voice could be heard by him. However, he still addressed Zhu Xuan as Young Master Zhu.
Jingye listened carefully to Xu Zhutao's narration and praised,"This Zhu gongzi is really smart and quick-witted. However, young noble is also an extraordinary person. If it wasn't for young noble's persistence and persistence, not letting go of any clues, I'm afraid that Hua Mountain Jade Girl wouldn't be able to return home by now. If someone from Emei goes missing, I wonder if Young Master is willing to help?”
"Oh, could it be that someone from your sect has really gone missing?" Xu Zhutao asked in surprise.”
Nun Jingye let out a long sigh and shook her head gently."Young Master, please have lunch first. There is something I need to report to Sect Leader before I can tell her. Ruohua, bring the three guests to have a meal.”
"Please follow me!" Lu Ruohua said.”
The three of them followed Lu Ruohua out of the quiet room and out of the hall. Xu Zhutao saw that Shangguan Wanqian's expression was a little abnormal and asked,"Qian 'er, are you feeling unwell?”
Shangguan Wanqian only snorted coldly and did not reply.
"She's indeed not feeling well!" Jade Raksha laughed.”
" Qian 'er, what's wrong?" Xu Zhutao asked hurriedly." Did you eat something bad?"”
"Humph!" It was still a cold voice.
Lu Ruohua, who was walking in front, suddenly said,""Oh, I know. I also know where Miss Shangguan is uncomfortable!”
Xu Zhutao was baffled and said,"Qian 'er, why don't we take you down the mountain to find a doctor after lunch?”
Not long after, the three of them followed Lu Ruohua to a short house opposite the main hall. It was the main hall where the Emei disciples ate. When the three of them arrived, it was already noon. Most of the disciples had already eaten. Lu Ruohua invited the three of them to sit at the table first. After a while, she went to the kitchen to bring some food. She sat down and tasted each dish first.
Xu Zhutao was also hungry at this time. He remembered that he did not drink the tea Lu Ruohua poured for him in the quiet room. Seeing her actions, he could not help but think of Zhu Xuan and Zhang Hongwu. Every time Princess Zhu Xuan ate, Zhang Hongwu would taste it first to make sure that it was not poisoned before he moved his chopsticks.
"Miss Lu, you don't have to be like this. You're the disciples of a righteous sect, so I'm not worried." Xu Zhutao said awkwardly.”
Lu Ruohua laughed and said,""This is my master's teaching, to show one's innocence, Young Master need not be overly suspicious.”
Shangguan Wanqian recalled what happened yesterday and said with lingering fear,"Miss Lu might not know, but my big brother was almost killed by two little thieves yesterday!”
" Young Master Xu's martial arts are very powerful," Lu Ruohua said curiously." Even an old devil like Gong Ao was no match for him. How could two mere thieves kill him?"”
Shangguan Wanqian then told him what happened after Xu Zhutao got drunk yesterday.
When Lu Ruohua heard this, she was so shocked that she clutched her heart and said,""It can be seen that the martial arts world is really dangerous. No matter how good your martial arts are, there are times when you can't guard against it. My junior sisters always want to travel the martial arts world.”
Xu Zhutao ignored them and only lowered his head to eat. At this moment, he saw Shangguan Wanqian picking up a piece of meat and snatched it away with his chopsticks. He said,"Qian 'er, don't eat too much if you have a stomachache. I'll bring you down the mountain for treatment later.”
Shangguan Wanqian pointed at Xu Zhutao with her chopsticks and said,"Big brother, you! Isn't this too much?"
"I think you talk too much," Xu Zhutao said."You'd better finish before you eat."”
Jade Raksha and Lu Ruohua only chuckled at the side.
After the few of them finished eating, Lu Ruohua cleared the bowls and chopsticks. She told the three of them to wait here and left the hall without saying anything. Not long after, Lu Ruohua returned with three women behind her. One was dressed in green, one in purple, and one in light yellow. All three of them were young and beautiful. They all had high breasts and slender waists, but their faces looked a little haggard. Xu Zhutao still remembered the colors of these three together. He recognized them as the Three Beauties of Emei who had caught a glimpse of them in Anlu City that day.
